22 Dec 22. Thales Australia, Sydney Uni partner to pursue transformative technology. The prime has extended its long-term partnership with the University of Sydney to undertake research and development of advanced solutions for defence, cyber, space and aerospace.
Beginning in 2017, the pair signed a memorandum of understanding to partner on the research and development of emerging technologies for eventual use within Thales’ business.
Throughout the engagement, key areas of focus have included big data, machine learning and artificial intelligence.
According to the prime, the recent iteration of the partnership is expected to broaden their cooperation in activities including the Australian Research Council Industrial Transformation Research Hub on intelligent robotic systems for real-time asset management and research on space-based object detection and tracking within the SmartSat Cooperative Research Centre.
Further areas of collaboration also include research and development on autonomous mine counter measures with the Trusted Autonomous Systems Defence Cooperative Research Centre and development of optical components for communications applications.
Under the agreement, the defence prime has supported PhD programs in aerospace, mechanical and mechatronic engineering and electrical and information engineering, and has provided an array of industry placements.
The new agreement was signed at a ceremony with Professor Emma Johnston, deputy vice-chancellor (research), and Thales Australia and New Zealand chief executive officer Jeff Connolly.
“Over the previous five years, we have not only delivered some tremendous research outcomes, including application in support of key defence capabilities,” Dr John Best, chief technical officer at Thales Australia and New Zealand, said.
“We have also developed teams who are skilled in identifying the research challenge in practical problems and able to plan and execute a research program to deliver real impact to our customers and end users. We will further build this capability to strengthen our collaborative impact.”
