The Defence Materials Technology Centre (DMTC) is a not for profit collaborative venture that brings together defence, industry, universities and government research agencies to develop technologies that will enhance Australia’s defence and national security capability.
DMTC is working with the Australian Department of Defence’s JSF Division and Defence Science and Technology (DST) Group to identify improvement and innovation opportunities for development, through DMTC. This collaborative approach will assist Australian companies to contribute to a strong industry base that supports the JSF capability and provides long-term national economic benefits.
