Defence Science Technology Group (DSTG) – research into optimising human performance

16 November 2023

Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG) brings together interdisciplinary expertise from across Australia and around the world to address Defence and national security challenges.

DSTG’s role is to work closely with the Australian science, technology and innovation eco-system to deliver scientific advice and solutions that provide capability enhancement for Defence and the national security community.

In carrying out their role, research carried out by DSTG can sometimes overlap with the interests of the elite sporting community. Endeavours that seek to optimise human performance will often have interest among organisations that are charged with preparing humans to perform when it matters most. It is through this lens, that this STARS presentation will explore DSTG, their strategy and how they go about their business, including research projects that seek to optimise human performance during some of the most critical scenarios that humans can encounter.

Presenter: Dr Kurt Mudie, Defence Science and Technology Group
