Defence Science Centre

Transforming challenges into capabilities.

The establishment of the Defence Science Centre is an initiative of the Western Australian Defence and Defence Industry Strategic Plan.

The Defence Science Centre (WA) will facilitate science and innovation connections across universities, industry and Defence to support security and technology development and capability requirements.

The Centre will also support the commercialisation of defence-related research and cultivate a competitive, local defence industry that will diversify and strengthen the State’s economy, and create new jobs.

The Defence Science Centre (WA) will achieve this by:

Boosting defence-relevant research collaborations among universities, industry and Defence
Identifying opportunities for small and medium enterprise (SME) participation in collaborative research
Stimulating defence- relevant collaborations through its grant programs
Identifying defence- relevant science and innovation opportunities
Showcasing Western Australian science and innovation capabilities
Supporting students’ undertaking research projects in Defence and related industry.
