Lockheed Martin Australia has rebranded its Science, Technology, Engineering Leadership and Research Laboratory (STELaRLab) as Advanced Systems and Technologies to better align with the mission-directed objectives and capability development needs of the Australian Defence Force (ADF).
The $13 million STELaRLab was originally opened in 2016 at the University of Melbourne.
According to Lockheed Martin Australia it is the company's most advanced research and development centre outside of the United States.
Advanced Systems and Technologies boasts 57 staff across sites in Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane who support a range of programs including counter-hypersonics, hypersonics, autonomy, robotics and command, control, communications, computing, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR).
“With its focus on the acceleration of emergent technologies, Advanced Systems and Technologies has the potential to significantly lift Australia’s industrial capability through unprecedented collaboration with government, industry and academia,” said Lockheed Martin Australia and New Zealand Chief Executive, Warren McDonald
