Assessing traceability RegTech applications in honey bee and cherry industries and related supply chains (2023 - 2024)$333,649
- Description
- The project assesses traceability RegTech applications that can be used by different producers, compliance agencies, and logistics providers in the Australian honey bee and cherry industries. Working with project partners and stakeholders in the two industries, the project will 1) investigate how existing traceability technology use may support RegTech applications and how RegTech in turn can strengthen existing traceability systems; 2) assess areas of regulations, rules, codes of practice and other compliance requirements where RegTech may be applied to assist compliance obligations in the two industries; and 3) analyse the cost-benefit of RegTech applications and identify a roadmap for adoption. The outcomes of the project will provide insights into the feasibility of traceability RegTech applications in the two industries, the readiness, and roadmap for adoption for the Australian honey bee and cherry industries and their related supply chains. The project will contribute to enhancing agricultural traceability reforms, and supporting growth of the agricultural sector.

Smart Operation of the Greyscan ETD 100 in Laboratory User Interface Mode (2022)$65,729
- Description
- he Chemical Criminalistics (CC) team at the Australian Federal Police (AFP) performs a range of examinations on chemical trace evidence to support numerous internal and external stakeholders. In addition to the traditional laboratory capabilities (using benchtop instruments), CC also provides a deployable capability, including portable identification instruments and a mobile laboratory. This function can be deployed locally, nationally and internationally and is particularly critical in the field of explosives analysis. Rapid deployments are often required in support of counter terrorism operations, where the CC team is able to conduct trace organic and trace inorganic explosive detection outside of the laboratory environment. The CC team acquired x2 GreyScan ETD-100 units in late 2019. The UTAS-based and Australian manufactured ETD-100 is the world's first automated explosive trace detection device designed to detect inorganic explosives based on nitrates, chlorates and perchlorates. The ETD-100 was designed to complement the current security screening technology at points-of entry such as airport checkpoints and aviation cargo screening. The CC team have undertaken an extensive validation of the ETD-100 and established a number of limitations in its current (security screening) end-user form. During the validation process, the CC team established that it was possible to adopt this new technology and make it more relevant to AFP forensic operations. In particular, it is possible to interface the ETD-100 with a laptop utilising a customised Laboratory User Interface. In this mode, the analyst is able to interrogate the data coming off the box to allow a more informed decision to be made (other than just the current PASS or WARNING screens). Further development is required to the interface to provide the analyst with the ability to detect and identify other relevant analytes of forensic interest other than the three currently programmed explosive ingredient targets (namely: nitrates, chlorates, perchlorates), which will be developed in this project. This enhanced capability is considered critical when undertaking chemical exploitation in support of the frontline response to explosive incidents and intelligence-led disruptions.

Developing the tools and articulating the value proposition for genomic selection in Pacific oyster selective breeding (2022 - 2023)$370,969
- Description
- Genomic selection is a new applied breeding technology that is being used in commercial animal and plant breeding programwith significant, and times large, economic benefits. However, there are no commercial applications in oyster breeding. Genomic selection requiressignificant increase in costs due to the need to genotyping large numbers of individuals, and there are technical and logistical challenges in applying thitechnology to oyster breeding. This project is a preliminary step intended to demonstrate an economic cost benefit, evaluate genotyping toolsmethodology development, proof of conceptfor phenotyping, thereby providing information to assist a decision aboutmoving thisto operational breeding

Autonomous Remote Drone Management System with Fixed Ground Stations (2021)$10,000
- Description
- Antarctica is a vast region with various landscape and terrain features. It is also one the most remote areas lacking telecommunication infrastructure. Also, solar conditions make difficult to harvest solar power for remotely operated devices. Due to lack of power and communication infrastructure, it is necessary to have an optimal and dynamic sensor network to collect information back by a mobile communication framework.A combination of Fixed Ground Based stations (FGS) and drones can be used to collect a variety of data from a wide range of environments dynamically. Several key factors need to be addressed in order to exchange information between the nodes. If a certain area of the network needs any specific attention, then drones must be initialized and dispatched immediately.This project will create an autonomous remote drone management system that will simulate a large area and make decisions regarding when and how to dispatch the drones based on time, space and radio connectivity properties.

Drought Resilience Tasmania - Actionable Knowledge and Solutions for Sustainable Prosperity (2021 - 2024)$9,714,009
- Description
- Water is a major asset for Tasmania linked to livelihoods, energy production, irrigated and rainfed agriculture, environmental management and conservation. Competing demands forwater intensify during droughts and as hot and dry years increase in number. Wise and fair water management requires a multi-stakeholder partnership to innovate for droughtresilience, optimal water management and self-reliance. Our Hub will enable drought preparedness in Tasmania through collective and co-designed actions that sustain Tasmania'shigh-value, clean, green international brand. We will engage with local knowledge and land stewardship through a deliberate and negotiated process and uphold the rights ofTasmanian Aboriginal people to benefit from innovations they enable. The Hub, for the first time, brings together the major players - farmers, land and water managers, researchers,and indigenous knowledge owners - who, together can reduce the risks associated with drought in Tasmania.
