Penguin Composites加入澳大利亚国防材料技术中心项目
国防工业部长克里斯托弗·派恩议员于7月20日宣布了这一消息。
“合作伙伴关系将探索具有独特特征的新化合物的开发，例如，可以提高军用车辆的性能并降低制造成本，”Pyne部长说。
该项目是DMTC的支持技术计划的一部分，该计划旨在加强平台无关技术，可应用于供应链，包括陆地，海事，航空航天领域。
“DMTC正在提供合作，并专注于2016年国防工业政策声明中所设想的创新，在这种情况下，通过探索新材料化合物的潜力，”部长说。
Penguin Composites加入了现有的行业合作伙伴Thales Australia，Imagine Intelligent Materials以及昆士兰大学，Swinburne科技大学，迪肯大学和RMIT的研究合作伙伴。
“与传统材料相比，研究人员和行业合作伙伴的参与将使团队能够测试新配置，并确定性能差异，”Pyne部长说。
“通过更深层次的理解，团队可以将注意力转向效率大化的挑战，并为这些创新材料系统开发提供具有成本效益的制造解决方案。”
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.”
