Defence S&T Strategy for Space
UNCLASSIFIED
Vision of a Resilient Affordable Space System to become a Space Enabled Force
S&T program develops & demonstrates core space technologies
We imagine a future where Australia operates a world-class space system sized to the ADF’s
need. Within this system Australia will build recognised world-leading capabilities in
several niche space technologies including sensing,
communications and intelligent processing
