Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) is running Phase 2 of the Map the Gap: Autonomous Gap Crossing Survey competition, on behalf of the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl). It aims to develop and trial a number of system demonstrators able to tackle some of the key issues of gap crossing survey.

Last month, Minister for Defence Industry, the Hon Melissa Price MP, announced a range of changes to CDIC grant programs to provide greater support for Australia’s defence industry. The changes are part of a $1 billion investment package to boost Australia’s defence industry and support thousands of jobs across the country.
