	Defence Science and Technology Organisation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) is a branch of the Australian Department of Defence which researches and develops technologies for use in the Australian Defence Industry.
		DSTO was created in 1974 by amalgamating the Australian Defence Scientific Service with the Science Branch of the Department of Defence.
		Over the next 20 years various other Australian Defence laboratories were integrated with DSTO, including what remained of the Weapons Research Establishment, responsible for the Woomera test range.

		Within the Department of Defence, LCC analysis is used in the areas of major capital equipment and facilities as well as in minor capital and administrative acquisitions.
		Defence has noted that increased funding provisions are required because of the rising costs of in-service support, with increased costs associated with new equipment such as the Lead-in fighter, the C-130J aircraft, the Caribou aircraft replacement and the new hydrographic ships.
		Defence responded in October 1997 that this recommendation was agreed in principle, and that action was complete, with part of government procurement policy being to evaluate tenders on a whole-of-life basis.

		SYDNEY -- A US team is in Australia on a low-profile visit to discuss Canberra's commitment to Washington's planned missile defence programme, the Department of Defence said.
		Australia announced in 2003 it would cooperate with the United States on missile defence, amid controversial plans by the Bush administration to establish a protective shield against possible missile attack.
		Despite its support, Australia has not announced any financial contribution to the programme and its support is seen as largely rhetorical, like its low-scale contribution to the war in Iraq.

		This, in turn, required Defence and the ADF to embrace what he termed the 'Revolution in Defence Management' which would see the adoption of flatter organisational structures, and the enhancement of existing joint service planning structures and cultures which would serve to squeeze 'the maximum amount of military capability out of our budget'.
		As Christine Sylvester has nicely demonstrated in the case of the 1994 defence white paper, official statements such as the one described can also be quite 'revealing' in terms of Australia's '(post)-colonial dilemmas of identity and adjustment', and its 'confidence' and 'lack of confidence' in seeking to deal with new challenges and opportunities.
		It is instructive to note that Australia's Strategic Policy appears to have dropped the objective, contained in earlier defence white papers, of preventing, via the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), the spread of missile technologies in the region.

		Scania Australia Pty Ltd, Scania’s wholly-owned subsidiary in Australia, has signed its first contract with the Australian Department of Defence which has placed an order for 81 Scania all-wheel drive vehicles.
		Commenting on the deal, Kaj Färm, MD of Scania Australia since the beginning of the year, notes that the order represents a breakthrough for Scania Australia, although Scania already has a tradition of supplying robust vehicles to defence authorities.
		Apart from the fact that the vehicles comply with high military standards of performance and durability, one of Scania’s strongest selling points is that it does not produce purpose-built military vehicles.

		ZDNet previously reported that the question of restricting the use of encryption tools is a matter of serious debate in the US, where officials have been quick to blame the use of cryptography for the surveillance breakdown that failed to detect signs of the recent US-focused terrorist attacks.
		The US has called for international support in its encryption crackdown but Australian government departments have been quick to pass the buck or keep their mouths shut as to whether or not the country will rally to support its US counterpart.
		According to Grant Bayley, founder of 2600 Australia (www.2600.org.au/), a hub of information on computer security, if there are serious moves in the United States to crack down on encryption, the Australian Government will surely following suit.
