Helicopter Aircrew Training System (HATS) Infrastructure Development Phase IV is a commercial project funded by the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) that runs from September 2017 to May 2018. The focus of this work is in extensions and refinements of a scheduling system for training and tracking of helicopter pilots required by the defence forces of Australia. This will provide an Australia-wide system that can support current and future training needs and demands of helicopter pilots in the army, navy and airforce. This work also includes support for mobile applications.
Drone analytics platform Phase II has been funded by the University of Melbourne to support data analysis of crop data captured through unmanned aerial vehicles (drones). This platform will be used to process aerial data on crops using large-scale Cloud infrastructure. This work will be used for example to identify crop issues and ways in which improved agricultural methods can be supported .
