This book celebrates 100 years of defence science in Australia, beginning with the role of Cecil Napier Hake in investigating the feasibility of establishing a cordite factory in this country. From those early days defence science has undergone many changes, reflecting that the nature of warfare itself has changed radically since Hake developed safety standards for handling cordite and went on to establish the first defence laboratory in Victoria.
