Land

DMTC’s collaboration model accelerates technology development and supports rapid adoption of new technologies related to both the production and sustainment of land domain capabilities.

Projects in DMTC’s Land Program align to Defence priorities and make extensive use of the Company’s network of research and industry partners’ expertise in delivering enhanced sovereign industrial outcomes.

One such project is the Networked Future Augmented Small Arms Technologies (or Networked-FAST) suite of research projects, that seeks to design and produce next-generation soldier systems for Australia’s defence personnel.

The project consists of a series of parallel technical investigations and activities led by industry partner Thales Australia, with DMTC’s contribution focusing on digitisation, lightweighting and advances in manufacturing.

“Ours is a narrative of “and not or”, of an ADF that is relevant and credible in all domains, and an Army that sends forth its women and men into the most complex and lethal land environments with the best probability of mission success, and the best probability of survival and returning home to families.”
