In this episode of the Defence Connect
podcast, DSTG’s Nigel McGinty, chief technology officer
strategy and national security, and Robert Hunjet, acting research
leader, protection and networked autonomy, join host Liam Garman to
discuss the upcoming Australian Defence Science, Technology and
Research (ADSTAR) Summit.
The trio begins the podcast discussing how
ADSTAR will support the growth and development of Australian
defence businesses, focusing on the key themes of:
- Resilience in contested environments.
- The use of artificial intelligence.
- The use of human and defensive biotechnologies.
The trio then discusses ADSTAR’s “start-up alley”, and how the summit will give SMEs the opportunity to showcase their innovations.
The podcast wraps up discussing recent examples of when the DSTG has helped facilitate the growth of defence start-ups, with critical insight into how businesses can rise to the challenge of operating in the defence supply chain.
