成人大片

Today, Wednesday 4 October, the 成人大片, the Department of Defence and BAE Systems Australia announce the establishment of the JORN Open Innovation Network (JOIN)聽Centre for Advanced Defence Research in HF Technologies (CADR-HFT).

The Centre鈥檚 primary purpose is to develop the highly specialised workforce that is needed to underpin the nation鈥檚 world-leading capability in HF systems and Over-The-Horizon-Radar (OTHR), Australia鈥檚 Jindalee Operational Radar Network (JORN).

JORN provides wide area surveillance of the country鈥檚 northern approaches and plays a vital role in supporting the Australian Defence Force鈥檚 air and maritime operations, border protection, disaster relief and search and rescue operations. It is a world-leading OTHR network and operates using HF technologies developed in Australia.

The three-way partnership will serve to both further enhance radar performance through research and, most importantly, provide a pipeline of talent for the OTHR innovation ecosystem.

Australia has a globally competitive edge in HF radar technology and the new Centre, located on the 成人大片鈥檚 North Terrace campus, will build on this by focusing on research in HF systems and ionospheric physics and educate and upskill experts in these areas.

Staff recruited by the 成人大片 for the CADR-HFT will be globally sourced top talent. These will include two professorial chair positions: a BAE-funded Chair in HF Systems at the School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering; and a Defence funded Chair in Space and Ionospheric Physics at the School of Physics, Chemistry and Earth Sciences.

The Centre will attract post-doctoral fellows who will engage with the broader research community to develop collaborative partnerships to find innovative solutions to HF research problems and continue to grow the future workforce.

JORN is currently being upgraded and maintained by BAE Systems and its network of trusted industry partners. The ten-year upgrade will improve aircraft detection sensitivity and extend the life of JORN beyond 2040.

Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Peter H酶j AC, 成人大片

The 成人大片 is proud to be working alongside the Australian Government and BAE Systems Australia to maintain Australia鈥檚 sovereign defence capability.

鈥淎s a global top 100 university we attract experts who are the leaders in their chosen fields who strive to tackle some of society鈥檚 greatest challenges.

鈥淭he JOIN Centre for Advanced Defence Research in HF Technologies will be a focus for some of the University鈥檚 best minds who will work on cutting-edge science and technology.

鈥淭he new Centre will sustain a skilled workforce for a sovereign capability and promote innovation to support JORN and other defence projects involving high-frequency technology.鈥�

The Hon Peter Malinauskas MP Premier of South Australia

鈥淭he new JOIN Centre for Advanced Defence Research in HF Technologies is a perfect example of how government, industry and academia can work together to uplift the skills and capabilities of our workforce.

鈥淭he single biggest challenge we face in growing our defence sector is not securing work 鈥� it is finding the highly qualified workers to carry out the complex, fulfilling and well-paid roles that are coming our way.

鈥淭his centre will see some of the best minds in the defence workforce of the future trained to support the world鈥檚 leading surveillance technology to maintain peace in our region.

鈥淎ustralian technology that helps the Australian Defence Force鈥檚 to maintain the peace in our region.

鈥淭he JOIN Centre for Advanced Defence Research in HF Technologies is a prime example of how government, industry and academia are working together to ensure the long-term safety of Australia.鈥�

Dr Sylvie Perreau, Chief Sensors and Effectors Division, Defence Science Technology Group

鈥淭he Defence Science and Technology Group has deep experience in JORN and over-the-horizon-radar technology, however we must grow this workforce to be able to meet Defence鈥檚 future needs.

鈥淏y partnering with the 成人大片 and BAE Systems Australia we will deepen the talent pipeline, ensuring that we can sustain a skilled workforce and promote innovation to support JORN and other Defence projects involving high-frequency technology into the future.

鈥淚t is essential that we grow sovereign skills, encourage innovation and invest in novel technologies, to ensure that Australia maintains the highest level of military capability, and scientific and technological sophistication.鈥�

Mr Ben Hudson, Chief Executive Officer, BAE Systems Australia

鈥淎dvancing Australian industry is a core value for BAE Systems Australia, and is a shared goal with the Commonwealth of Australia and the 成人大片.

鈥淭he JOIN Centre represents a new era of collaboration and will create opportunities, expedite research and lead to break through advancements in high frequency systems.

鈥淚t will continue Australia鈥檚 reputation as being a world-leader in the development and export of high frequency technology.鈥澛�

Air Commodore Regina Gorton, Director General Air and Space Surveillance and Control, Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group, representing Head of Air Capability, Defence

鈥淎ustralia has a proud heritage in research and development of HF sensing technology that has produced and enhanced the over-the-horizon radar technology and the Jindalee Operational Radar Network (JORN). JORN provides critical surveillance for the Integrated Force, enabling Australia鈥檚 National Defence objectives.

鈥淭his collaboration is important for nurturing and advancing the HF sensing technologies that will help to ensure JORN remains the world鈥檚 leading over-the-horizon radar system into the future. Defence appreciates this partnership that will also foster the development of science and technology skills and provide opportunity for emerging talent.鈥�
