DST, JEDS collaborate for surveillance systems
Australia’s Defence Science and Technology Group (DST) and Jenkins Engineering Defence Systems (JEDS) have entered into a collaborative agreement to boost the development of military electronic surveillance systems, the Australian government announced on 8 June.
Jenkins’ will utilise DST’s light cone direction finder to enhance the capability of its electronic support measures system for the Australian Defence Force (ADF). The direction finder improves multiple radio signal localisation and rejection of spurious signals within a complex electromagnetic environment.
Alex Zelinsky, Chief Defence Scientist, Australia, said: ‘Under this agreement both our defence scientists and the company will work together to improve the effectiveness of the ADF’s direction-finding systems. This is the kind of partnership we are keen to encourage as it fosters innovation and adds value to the capabilities being developed by industry for defence.’
Peter Jenkins, managing director, Jenkins Engineering Defence Systems, said: ‘JEDS as an SME views this collaboration as an opportunity to develop an innovative product based on DST Group’s ground breaking research.’
