Research & Development

Accelerating from Concepts to Deployed Capabilities

We pursue research and development collaborations that harness the collective strengths of our three universities to accelerate the defence capability life cycle in Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom, as well as other partners in the Indo-Pacific region and beyond.

Our approach enables our universities to bring respective research strengths to bear to solve complex defence and national security problems and translate world-class research into competitive advantages for our nations.

Our Priority Research Areas

Our research is aligned with, but not limited to, AUKUS-focused policy, statecraft, research and technology requirements and takes advantage of our universities’ expertise in key defence and security research areas. Areas of priority research focus include:

seed grant scheme

The Security & Defence PLuS Seed Grant Scheme is designed to support the development or expansion of research collaborations across the three PLuS Alliance universities.

We have a track record of working with defence, defence industry, world-class researchers and facilities, and the ability to support the commercialisation of defence research into capabilities for industry. 

Through our research collaborations, we aim to inform policymakers; accelerate technological development in respective defence departments, defence forces and defence industries; and enrich academia.
