Capability and Technology Demonstrator Program
Collaboration
- Date:
- 12 June, 2009
The Capability and Technology Demonstrator (CTD) Program, coordinated by DSTO on behalf of Defence, allows industry to demonstrate how advanced technologies might enhance ADF capability.

- The CTD Program - linking Defence and industry
In addition to contributing to the cost of projects, the CTD program has a number of funding initiatives aimed at assisting industry, particularly small to medium enterprises to participate. These include seed funding, project viability funding and concept definition funding.
The links on the side of the page will direct you to further information about the types of funding provided under the program, instructions and templates for proposing a CTD or applying for related funding, an explanation of the selection process, essential policy information, and contact details for the CTD Program Office.

Successful Round 13 proposals
CTD Proposals |
Description |
|
ADF C4I Connector |
The Widely Integrated Systems Environment (WISE) from Saab is an innovative software technology that will connect ADF’s legacy and candidate Command and Control, Communications, Computing and Intelligence (C4I) Systems together into a common environment and create information flows between them, regardless of architecture, communication standards and protocols |
|
Network centric GIIS |
JP2064 Phase 3 will deliver significant geospatial information capability to Defence. The proposed CTD aims to enhance this capability in the area of autonomous and disconnected operations. The key characteristic of these operations is that network connectivity will vary from high bandwidth, to degraded or uncertain communications to no connection. |
|
Enhanced UAV ISR Operations |
The CTD will exploit recent advances in a range of ISR technologies by BAE Systems and integrate them into an enhanced ISR capability for a UAV. It will demonstrate how this enhanced capability will enable the ADF to make more accurate assessments in the operational environments |
|
Infrasonic Advanced Acoustic Generator |
The proposed CTD addresses the capability gap of a high power low frequency underwater acoustic generator able to sweep for mines targeting the acoustic signature of large naval ships and large merchant vessels that frequent Australian ports |
|
Securing TS Data in a Mobile Environment |
The proposal is to develop a secure hard disk drive (HDD) for laptop computers which meets Defence Signals Directorate’s security requirements for the protection of Top Secret data at rest, allowing the laptop to be handled as a restricted device when stored and transported |
|
Monitoring and Communicating Diver’s Vital Signs |
This proposal aims to minimise the risks associated with diving operations/training, through the development of technology for monitoring and communicating divers’ vital signs that integrates from COTS technologies. The project will replace or at least supplement current, analogue rope signalling technology with proven best in class systems to automatically transmit data on diver physiology, gas pressures, and the environment. Text messaging from the dive supervisor to the diver and will be introduced. The project will reduce uncertainty; mitigate risk and enhance diver safety during operational dives and in training. |
|
360 Close-in Situational Awareness Analysis System |
The purpose of the CTD is to demonstrate a system to detect and highlight the potential threats from both moving and static vehicles. It will provide a real-time capability to identify and track moving targets either approaching or on a course to intersect with the vehicle, and will highlight these threats to a user stationed inside the vehicle. |
