Penguin Composites加入澳大利亞國防材料技術中心項目
國防工業部長克里斯托弗·派恩議員于7月20日宣布了這一消息。
“合作伙伴關系將探索具有獨特特征的新化合物的開發，例如，可以提高軍用車輛的性能并降低制造成本，”Pyne部長說。
該項目是DMTC的支持技術計劃的一部分，該計劃旨在加強平臺無關技術，可應用于供應鏈，包括陸地，海事，航空航天領域。
“DMTC正在提供合作，并專注于2016年國防工業政策聲明中所設想的創新，在這種情況下，通過探索新材料化合物的潛力，”部長說。
Penguin Composites加入了現有的行業合作伙伴Thales Australia，Imagine Intelligent Materials以及昆士蘭大學，Swinburne科技大學，迪肯大學和RMIT的研究合作伙伴。
“與傳統材料相比，研究人員和行業合作伙伴的參與將使團隊能夠測試新配置，并確定性能差異，”Pyne部長說。
“通過更深層次的理解，團隊可以將注意力轉向效率大化的挑戰，并為這些創新材料系統開發提供具有成本效益的制造解決方案。”
Tasmanian SME Penguin Composites is joining an existing DMTC project to explore the potential use of hybrid composite materials in defence manufacturing.
Minister for Defence Industry, the Hon Christopher Pyne MP, made the announcement on 20 July.
“The partnership will explore the development of new compounds with unique characteristics that could, as one example, enhance the performance of military vehicles and reduce manufacturing costs,” Minister Pyne said.
The project is part of DMTC’s Enabling Technologies Program, a broad-based effort to enhance platform-independent technologies that can be applied across supply chains including in the land, maritime, aerospace and space sectors.
“DMTC is delivering the collaboration and focus on innovation that was envisaged in the 2016 Defence Industry Policy Statement, in this case through exploring the potential of novel material compounds,” the Minister said.
Penguin Composites joins existing industry partners Thales Australia, Imagine Intelligent Materials and research partners from University of Queensland, Swinburne University of Technology, Deakin University and RMIT on the project.
“The involvement of both researchers and industry partners will allow the team to test new configurations and identify the differences in performance compared to conventional materials,” Minister Pyne said.
“With that deeper level of understanding, the team can then turn their attention to challenges in maximising efficiency and developing cost-effective manufacturing solutions for these innovative material systems.”
