Securing Our Future: Defence and Space Capability

Curtin University’s capabilities in Build and Sustainment play a pivotal role in supporting the construction, maintenance, and longevity of naval and defence assets, particularly as part of the AUKUS framework for shipbuilding and submarine development in Western Australia.

Strategic Resource Management is crucial for defence by securing access to critical minerals and materials necessary for advanced defence manufacturing and supply chain resilience.

Curtin University’s research groups enhance Australia’s situational awareness by advancing technologies in maritime, terrestrial, and space monitoring critical to defence.

Curtin University’s capabilities in Operational Autonomy and Advanced Systems position it as a critical partner in developing autonomous, secure, and resilient platforms for defence.

Curtin University, Cyber CX and Microsoft have partnered to develop and launch Nebula, a unique Australian sovereign cloud platform which will secure, facilitate and accelerate sensitive research.

Strengthening defence capabilities requires skilled personnel equipped with the knowledge, adaptability, and technological expertise needed for complex operations.
