Abstract:
In March 2003, Australia went to war in Iraq to find and remove Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction (WMD). None were found. An Australian Parliamentary Committee concluded: The case made by the government was that Iraq possessed WMD on large quantities and posed a grave and unacceptable threat to the region and the world, particularly as there was a danger that Iraq's WMD might be passed to terrorist organisations. This is not the picture that emerges from an examination of the assessments provided to the Commmittee by the Australian Office of National Assessments (ONA) and the Defence Intelligence Organisation (DIO).

Abstract:
In recent times there has been concerted pressure on military organisations worldwide to push for significant reductions in through-life support costs while maintaining and improving aircraft availability and safety. These goals, which on the surface may appear contradictory, can be achieved through the introduction of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems. The paper describes the Australian Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) roadmap for SHM system development, validation, certification and implementation, in the context of technologies and systems that meet Australian Defence Force (ADF) future requirements. The current approach focuses on wide-area damage detection SHM systems using acousto-ultrasonic techniques.

Abstract:
This paper overviews some recent S&T innovations in smart materials and structures at the Australian Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) under a Corporate Enabling Research Program (CERP) on Signatures, Materials and Energy. The CERP program includes development and transitioning of technology across the maritime, air and land domains, with the major focus of the smart materials program component being to increase the safety, availability and maintainability of Defence assets. Three specific examples are provided of the smart materials and structures program, ranging across the spectrum of technology readiness from new concept phase to technology transitioning, viz.: (i) Advances in smart sensing for prognostics-based platform management; (ii) Fabrication of nanostructured and ultrafine grained materials through top-down severe plastic deformation processing of bulk materials; (iii) Innovative application of carbon nanotubes/conducting polymers as artificial muscles for low-power propulsion and control of small autonomous underwater systems. In each case, the DSTO effort is underpinned by strong university or industry linkages to deliver challenging interdisciplinary S&T.

Abstract:
The Australian Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) is developing a variety of in-situ structural health monitoring (SHM) approaches for potential use in high value platforms across the Australian Defence Force (ADF). The implementation of SHM systems would allow the ADF to move from expensive interval based inspection and maintenance regimes for ageing platforms to more cost-effective condition-based approaches, and therefore reduce aircraft through - life support costs. One critical issue is determining the optimal means of supplying power to these in-situ SHM systems. To address this issue DSTO has developed a bi-axial vibration energy harvesting approach based on a vibrating spherical-mass, magnet and wire-coil transducer arrangement. It is important that the vibration energy harvesting devices themselves are resistant to fatigue and wear related damage as they may need to operate in service for many years. This paper examines work done on mitigating wear effects in vibration energy harvesting devices, with the goal of ensuring device longevity.

Abstract:
The Australian Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) has established a leading-edge program to enable the development and transitioning of innovative Smart Materials and Structures technology across the spectrum from fundamental science to use in the field. This program extends and harnesses technology in the area of Smart Materials, Sensors and Systems, in order to increase safety of Defence aircraft, ships, submarines and vehicles, increase availability, reduce the cost of asset ownership and operations, and enhance overall military capability. The program has linkages into broad networks, with strong university and industry relationships, and is also very relevant to the management of civil infrastructure and other equipment. We present here an overview of some key research areas within the DSTO Smart Materials and Structures Initiative, highlighting developments in : (i) Smart Materials, including environmentallyfriendly coatings that exhibit properties of greater flexibility and durability for aerospace applications, nano-crystalline coatings that provide increased wear resistance, and Defence applications for carbon nanotubes; (ii) Smart Sensing, including chemical, structural fatigue, fuel contamination, environmental degradation, corrosion and its precursors, and overheating and mechanical wear; and (iii) Smart Systems that employ innovative techniques to acquire and process data from a range of sensors by harvesting energy from local structures to power microelectronic circuits.

Abstract:
A computer program for fatigue life and crack growth analysis, entitled CGAP, has been developed at the Defence Science and Technology Organisation in support of the aircraft structural life assessment programs of the Australian Defence Force. The key objectives in developing this software platform were to provide a flexible, robust, economical, adaptable, and well verified and validated fatigue analysis tool. CGAP provides advanced capabilities for crack growth analyses, including crack growth in notch-affected plastic zones, and for probabilistic crack growth analyses. It also provides seamless interface to third-party models, such as FASTRAN and FAMS, enabling easy benchmarking against and collaborating with international partners. This paper summarises some of the recent developments in analytical and numerical fatigue damage and crack growth modelling, with emphasis on software verification and validation. Examples will be presented to illustrate its application.

Abstract:
The Australian Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) was recently tasked with evaluating an in-service fatigue crack discovered in the primary structure of an Australian Army Black Hawk helicopter. This crack, discovered early in the affected components service life, was quite large and subsequent fractographic analysis generated substantial information with respect to its growth characteristics. Consequently, it was decided to use this in-service fatigue crack to test the ability of those methods and technologies being developed at DSTO to model and assess a ‘real’ example of helicopter airframe fatigue cracking. This paper details the process of analysing an in-service fatigue crack using methods and technologies developed and/or improved at DSTO in the areas of visualisation, fatigue spectra generation, load and stress analysis, and crack growth prediction. Results will highlight the effectiveness of the methods and techniques in modelling the observed fatigue damage and areas where further improvements are required.

Full text
Abstract:
I examined the demography and cooperative breeding behaviour of the rufous treecreeper, Climacteris rufa, in the south-west of Western Australia. Social organisation, breeding behaviour, reproductive success, survival and dispersal were measured over 3 years. The species lived in cooperatively breeding groups of 2–7 individuals, which occupied a territory year round. Most groups comprised a primary male and female (probably breeding) and offspring from previous breeding seasons (helpers). Territory defence was variable, particularly during the breeding season when individuals would feed nestlings in adjacent territories. The social organisation of the species was based on neighbourhoods of interacting territories. All group members provisioned nestlings, and the primary male and female significantly reduced their provisioning effort as the number of helpers increased. Total nest success for the 3 years was 78% and mean annual productivity was 2.1 (0.18). Fledgling and juvenile survival rates were relatively high (0.76 and 0.46 respectively), but adult survival rate (0.76) was comparable to that of other passerines of the temperate Southern Hemisphere. Dispersal of juveniles appeared to be female-biased. The demography of the rufous treecreeper was consistent with other old endemic Australian passerines. High adult survival resulted in few breeding vacancies for non-breeders and this is probably an important factor in the evolution of cooperative breeding in the species. Cooperative breeding also appears to be influenced by habitat saturation and a cost–benefit trade-off between remaining as a helper in high-quality territories and dispersing to poorer-quality territories where reproductive success may be low.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis makes an assessment of the factors influencing the involvement of the Australian Defence Organisation (ADO) in homeland security roles since 11 September 2001 (9/11). This is approached on a largely empirical basis, using document analysis and case studies supported with interviews with key individuals and experts. The thesis commences with an Introduction that provides brief context for the thesis and specifies its central question as ???what factors have shaped the role of the ADO in Australia's response to the homeland security environment that has emerged since 11 September 2001.??? Chapter One provides an historical and theoretical context for the key concepts of homeland security and the challenges confronting Western governments in the homeland security arena. Chapter Two explores the implications of those challenges for Australia, before outlining the research method and providing a literature review. Chapter Three is an historical exposition of homeland security in Australia from British settlement in 1788 until 2001. The Chapter examines events in increasing detail in the 30 years immediately prior to 2001, including a detailed case study of ADO support to the Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games, before drawing some broad conclusions on the Australian experience of the involvement of its Defence Organisation in homeland security pre-9/11. Chapter Four establishes the pre-9/11 status quo in relation to the ADO???s involvement in homeland security role before analysing the general pattern of those roles. Chapter Five analyses and draws conclusions about the reasons for the ADO???s pre-9/11 involvement in homeland security roles, introducing an hypothetical construct to explain causal factors. Chapter Six examines the ADO???s involvement in homeland security roles post-9/11, including cases studies of ADO support to the conduct of the 2002 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting and the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games. Chapter Seven analyses and identifies the factors led to the ADO???s pattern of involvement in homeland security post-9/11, further developing the hypothetical construct introduced in Chapter 5. Chapter Seven also contains supporting case studies on the ADO???s contribution to Australia???s national chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear response capability and on the state of New South Wales??? homeland security capabilities. Chapter Eight draws overall conclusions, including recommendations for Australian policy development and areas for further research. The essential conclusion reached is that the ADO???s involvement in homeland security roles, both before and since 9/11, has been shaped mostly by pragmatic political and managerial considerations of governments. Developments have normally occurred in an episodic and incremental fashion in response to ???trigger events,??? although 9/11 altered this pattern somewhat by acting as a ???threshold??? event that re-calibrated demands and expectations for ADO involvement. Supporting Appendices provide detail on the Australian Government???s strategic guidance on ADO involvement in homeland security since 1973; on Australia???s policy for Defence Assistance to the Civilian Community and Defence Force Aid to the Civil Authorities; and on the involvement of former Department of Defence employees in non-Defence homeland-security related roles.

Abstract:
This dissertation presents the findings of an empirical study of the effectiveness of knowledge management practices in an environment of principal-agent and market testing conditions in the Australian Defence Organisation (ADO) during the period 2001-2005. Using a grounded theory research approach and a longitudinal case study, the ADO's workforce planning community of practice is the focus of the study. The research is conducted in the context of the knowledge-based view of the firm, which holds that organisational effectiveness and thus sustained competitiveness is dependant on the continual creation, application and protection of new and unique knowledge. Pertinent knowledge management theories are reviewed and reframed in terms of loose coupling concepts, which are then used to describe the variety of knowledge creating relationships and opportunities for workforce planning that become apparent during the course of field research studies. The impact of market testing, as a precursor to outsourcing, on the creation of new knowledge in workforce planning is examined progressively during field studies. The role of leadership in maintaining effective workforce knowledge management practices emerges as the primary category in the loose coupling analysis process. The paper suggests that in order to sustain competitive advantage in workforce planning that is conducted in a commercial support or market testing environment, trust-based leadership and the use of appropriate knowledge management practices are necessary. The dissertation has important implications for research and practice. Specifically, the loose coupling framework provides a focus for literature reviews in future research of knowledge management and, in terms of professional practice, the framework is developed into an aide-m??moire that can be used to enhance knowledge management practices to meet workforce planning objectives. The aide-m??moire potentially has wider application as a tool to assess the effectiveness of knowledge management within the organisation as well as informing the selection of remedial knowledge management practices. Limitations of the paper are acknowledged and recommendations are made for further research.

Abstract:
The research investigated the impact of cultural change on the professional identity and practices of social workers in the Australian Defence Organisation (ADO). The researcher sought to understand both the nature and impact of change. The literature was reviewed with regard to the research and understanding of the concept of profession. The review highlighted the ideological nature of profession and the way in which the dominant culture impacts on professionals’ understanding of their identity and practice. The culture impacts on the development of the professionals’ relationship with clients, professional values and practices, practice boundaries, autonomy and status, accountability and knowledge and skills. The analysis of the literature illustrated that professionalism reflected the cultural impact of industrial capitalism while the emerging new professionalism reflected the impact of late capitalism. The research was undertaken from 1995 to 2004, a time of significant reform and change in Australia. The changes were reflected in changing relationships in the political economy and subsequent government and societal reforms. The cultural hegemony or dominant discourse changed from industrial capitalism to late capitalism and this change challenges professional identity and practice. The thesis argues that, an analysis of the case of ADO social work, particularly ADO social workers’understanding of their identity and practice demonstrates the impact of professionalism from 1957 to the mid-1980s. From the mid-1980s to 1996, it is further argued, it is possible to discern the impact of new professionalism as ADO social workers pursued their identity and understanding of practice in terms of the cultural reforms, that is, the emerging new professionalism. The thesis identifies six areas in which both professionalism and new professionalism impact on professionals, their identity and practice together with six features of both professionalism and new professionalism. These features are reflected in the professional projects. A case study of ADO social work was undertaken. The case study was constructed so that it satisfied the tenets of the qualitative method: describing, understanding and explaining. The case data was analysed in terms of the framework established. This framework identified six features of professionalism and new professionalism. Documentary data was analysed, that is, the public statements, reports and evidence given by ADO social workers, which articulated their understanding of their professional identity and practice. The case study confirmed the impact of professionalism on ADO social workers’ identity and practice. However, the data did not demonstrate that ADO social workers pursued their professional project in terms of the emerging new professionalism. Three explanations are suggested as to why ADO social workers resist cultural change and continue to pursue professionalism. The first reason is the finding that the profession of arms, the dominant profession in the organisation, resisted many of the reforms. This enabled ADO social workers to continue to understand their professional identity and practice in terms of professionalism. A second reason is ADO social workers’ focus on the organisational restructuring of ADO social work services, a project pursued by many ADO social workers from 1973. The organisational restructuring is understood to be part of ADO social workers’ professionalisation project in terms of professionalism. A third reason is that ADO social workers view the changing culture as a significant threat to their understanding of their professional identity and practice. Bureaucracy, hierarchy, the state, service, tradition, monopoly, institutions, authority, supervising were giving way to market, flexibility, outcomes, performance, competition, teams, entrepreneurialism and choice. Along with many professional colleagues ADO social workers view the changes as the ‘deprofessionalisation’ of professionals in the ADO. The thesis argues that new professionalism will increasingly impact on the identity and practice of ADO social workers as members of a socially constructed occupation. Attempts by ADO social workers to continue to develop and maintain a professional identity and practice in terms of professionalism will mean that social workers will become irrelevant to the needs of the ADO and its Members and families. Professionalism is no longer part of the hegemony of the dominant culture. The thesis argues that the future for ADO social work lies in the pursuit of a critical professional project in terms of the emerging new professionalism, understanding that new professionalism like professionalism ‘masks’ the oppressive nature of the capitalist project.

Abstract:
The public sector in Australia, as in other western countries, has been accused in recent times of being too costly, too rigid, inefficient and ineffective. What is apparently needed is a public sector that is smaller, less costly, more efficient and more effective. The search for alternative and better ways to organise and undertake work to meet these reform objectives is at the heart of the rapid expansion of Competitive Tendering and Contracting (CTC) within the public sector in the last two decades. But increased reliance on government contracting does not always lead to outsourcing. Some government agencies allow, indeed encourage, their current employees to also bid for the work on offer by including an In-House Option (IHO) within their CTC processes. In a number of cases these IHOs have been selected ahead of their commercial competitors. IHOs are effectively internal tenders that, if selected, must be implemented by work areas within the confines of the policies and practices of their parent organisation. The reasons commonly expressed in support of IHOs are to do with addressing the potentially problematic aspects of organisational review and possible outsourcing, and to assist the parent organisation achieve its reform intentions in the most effective and least disruptive manner possible. This research examined the achievements of six IHOs within the Australian Defence Organisation. It also asked what can be learned from their experiences? The findings show that IHOs can contribute to reform and enhance the effectiveness of CTC processes but that these achievements come at a price�borne primarily by the staff who work within selected IHOs. IHOs add to the competition of CTC exercises. They also act as an insurance policy against being caught with no reasonable bids and offer a benchmark against which to assess unknown bids. But competition can also focus bidders on doing what is necessary to win rather than what is best for an organisation or its staff. Having IHOs increases the uncertainty for staff about their future employment while at the same times raising expectations that if they can be successful they will be able to make changes and improve their work areas. This research has shown that this does not always occur and staff can find the whole experience frustrating and demoralising. Organisations that include IHOs within their CTC methodologies need to assist them if they are to have the best opportunity to propose new and innovative ways of working. And they must be prepared for the possibility that their IHOs could win. Selected IHOs need support to successfully implement changes, and as the IHOs examined here have shown, they can make significant improvements in work practices and more efficient use of resources if given the chance.

Full text
Abstract:
This minor thesis examines whether or not the Australian Defence Force (ADF) needs an indigenous aircraft structural testing program for military aircraft. Aircraft structural testing is a major test and evaluation activity currently undertaken by the DSTO to provide structural integrity information about particular aircraft for the ADF. The ADF has required this testing to be undertaken because, in general terms, testing undertaken by an aircraft's manufacturer has not been sufficient to meet the needs of the ADF. The research was divided into five sub-problems, which examined the need for aircraft structural testing, the management of these needs, what structural testing is required, how the testing should be managed and how the testing should be conducted. The research was undertaken by conducting five case studies into past, current and future aircraft structural tests being undertaken by the DSTO. The cases examined were the F/A-18 International Follow-On Structural Test Project, the P-3 service life assessment program, the F-111 wing test, the Hawk lead-in fighter full-scale fatigue test and the potential test program for the joint strike fighter (JSF). The basis of the case studies was the conduct of a series of interviews of the DSTO staff relevant to each case being examined. The information gathered through the interviews was supported by material gathered through making observations and reviewing documentation relevant to each case. The research concluded that an indigenous aircraft testing program is required by the ADF in order to maintain the structural integrity of its aircraft fleet. This minor thesis makes some recommendations for the way aircraft structural testing is conducted by the ADF, and the way general management of T & E in the Department of Defence could be improved.

Abstract:
The chapter examines the copyright and ethical issues raised by emerging models for the digital media reporting of sports news in Australia. In particular, it explores the use by news organisations of a defence in copyright law that provides protection against an infringement action for the reporting of news and the use by sports organisations of journalist accreditation to limit, by way of contract, the uses made of copyright material generated at sports events. It briefly outlines some proposed responses to these issues, including amending copyright law or establishing an industry code of conduct for the accreditation of news organisations accessing and reporting on sports events in the digital media. These matters were raised in a 2009 Senate inquiry. The inquiry attracted submissions from international news organisations concerned that a more restricted access regime established by sports organisations in Australia might influence the terms negotiated in other countries. The conflicts arising in this industry sector are a small part of a much larger international landscape in which new digital communications technologies are offering greater business opportunities but at the same time challenging existing commercial relationships.

This paper describes a new design which aims to improve the long-term supportability of such diagnostic systems by making the maximum use of commercial software, producing clear separation of technical information from any software elements, writing all non-standard software using defined standards and generally making the most possible use of the advances in computing over the last ten years. The system is now in field trial with the aim of developing procedures and specifications for production.

Abstract:
The Australian Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) is developing Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) approaches for use on air vehicles. This work describes a potential method for measuring quasi-static strains by monitoring the mechanical-load induced capacitive changes in a piezoelectric sensor. This approach may be combined with the well-documented capability of piezoelectric material to measure dynamic-strain, and may hence allow piezoelectric transducers to be used as low-power, single-solution strain sensors. DSTO has experimentally confirmed that the electrical impedance of a Macro Fiber Composite (MFC) piezoelectric transducer changes with varying strain. In particular, a sensitivity of 1.7 mΩ per με has been observed. With accurate transducer modelling, these changes could be used as an indication of the quasi-static strain in the underlying vehicular structure.

Abstract:
Abstract A comparison was made between computer model predictions of gear dynamic behaviour and experimental results. The experimental data were derived from the NASA gear noise rig, which was used to record dynamic tooth loads and vibration. The experimental results were compared with predictions from the Australian Defence Science and Technology Organisation Aeronautical Research Laboratory’s gear dynamics code, for a matrix of 28 load-speed points. At high torque the peak dynamic load predictions agree with experimental results with an average error of 5 percent in the speed range 800 to 6000 rpm. Tooth separation (or bounce), which was observed in the experimental data for light-torque, high-speed conditions, was simulated by the computer model. The model was also successful in simulating the degree of load sharing between gear teeth in the multiple-tooth-contact region.

Abstract:
The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed Australian National Repository for low and short-lived intermediate level radioactive waste was submitted to Environment Australia for approval in the summer of 2002 and has subsequently undergone a consultancy phase with comments sought from all relevant stakeholders. The consultancy period is now closed and responses to the comments have been prepared. This paper describes some of the issues relevant to determining the radiological risk associated with the repository to meet the requirements of the EIS. These include a brief description of the three proposed sites, a description of the proposed trench design, an analysis of the radioactive waste inventory, the proposed approach to developing waste acceptance criteria (WAC) and the approach taken to determine radiological risks during the post-institutional control phase. The three potential sites for the repository are located near the Australian Department of Defence site at Woomera, South Australia. One site is inside the Defense site and two are located nearby, but outside of the site perimeter. All have very similar, but not identical, topographical, geological and hydrogeological characteristics. A very simple trench design has been proposed 15 m deep and with 5 m of cover. One possible variant may be the construction of deeper borehole type vaults to dispose of the more active radioactive sources. A breakdown of the current and predicted future inventory will be presented. The current wastes are dominated in terms of volume by some contaminated soils, resulting from experiments to extract U and Th, and by the operational wastes from the HIFAR research reactor at ANSTO. A significant proportion of the radionuclide inventory is associated with small volumes of sources held by industry, medical, research and defence organisations. The proposed WAC will be described. These are based on the current Australian guidelines and best international practice. The preliminary radiological risk assessment considered the post-institutional control phase in detail with some 12 scenarios being assessed. These include the impact of potential climate change in the region. The results from the risk assessment will be presented and discussed. The assessment work is continuing and will support the license application for construction and operation of the site. Please note that this is not the final assessment for the licence application.
