	From the laboratory to the front line - theage.com.au
		The Defence, Science and Technology Organisation, part of the Department of Defence, is working to help soldiers in the battlefield and civilians in the event of a terrorist strike.
		Defence, Science and Technology and an Australian company, Ambri, have produced the "ion channel switch biosensor", which aims to detect biological agents in the air within 10 hours of an attack.
		The DSTO documents report that "performance to date is encouraging and subject to further successful laboratory evaluation; overseas field trials are proposed".

	Joint Standing Committee on Public Works - Defence Science and Technology Organisation Ordnance Breakdown Facility, ...
		Defence confirmed that the contamination referred to was of the type usually associated with farming activities and was concentrated on the land currently occupied by the farm and piggery.
		Defence stated that the proposed ordnance breakdown buildings would be designed to meet standard requirements for the handling of explosives and other hazardous materials, and that none of these materials would be released into the environment.
		Defence explained that, following the presentation of the PAD, and the absence of any appeals, the usual course of events was for the Commonwealth to pay the landowner 90 per cent of the value of the land up-front, with the remaining ten per cent to be paid upon completion of negotiations.

	Hands free water bottle for Diggers
		The Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) recently tested the comparative use of conventional water bottles against a 2.5 litre plastic pouch which sits inside a back pack and includes a straw-like tube that allows soldiers to drink on the move.
		DSTO scientists monitored their water intake, sweat and heart rate, body temperature, comfort levels and mood states during the trials in Queensland.
		DSTO’s final report to the Army will recommend that consideration be given to replacing water bottles with a hands-free water delivery system for the soldier on the move.

		THE Defence Science and Technology Organisation has leveraged Australia's leadership in the emerging science of hypersonics into a ground-breaking, $70 million joint research program with the US Air Force.
		NSW police have asked the Australian Defence Force not to dispose of evidence collected during the military inquiry into the death of Private Jake Kovco, as it may be required for a coronial inquest into the soldier's death.
		But the view from Australia's defence force was that a larger force was necessary given the potential for continuing violence that has claimed more than 120 lives.

	Solar Power Breakthrough - Flexible Panels
		The Australian Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) has approved achievement of the Design Review, held this month in Queanbeyan and the project is proceeding to the next phase.
		DSC technology can best be described as ‘artificial photosynthesis’ using an electrolyte, a layer of titania (a pigment used in white paints and tooth paste) and ruthenium dye sandwiched between glass.
		Compared to conventional silicon based photovoltaic technology, Dyesol’s technology has lower cost and embodied energy in manufacture, it produces electricity more efficiently even in low light conditions and can be directly incorporated into buildings by replacing conventional glass panels rather than taking up roof or extra land area.

	Defence Talk Forum - Aussie Laser System to thwart missiles
		Scientists from the Defence Science and Technology Organisation have spent six years developing the jamming system, which uses a solid-state laser to locate an incoming missile and thwart its sensors with laser radiation, causing it to veer away from its target.
		The DSTO, with defence company Tenix, is getting closer to a prototype system that will soon be offered to industry for full-scale product development.
		The immediate requirement is to protect Australian defence force aircraft but the technology could also eventually be applied to commercial aircraft.
