Research and Development Outcomes

---

It is anticipated that the enhanced research infrastructure and synergies created through new collaborations will be key drivers in the pursuit of world-class maritime hydrodynamic research and development outcomes and growth in intellectual capital for the benefit of Australia.

More specifically, AMHRC is expected to deliver research outcomes of scientific significance including:

• The development of a strong pool of intellectual capital within Australia that is focussed on maritime hydrodynamics that is capable of solving research problems currently sent offshore;
• 
  
• Enhanced safety and performance of the surface and underwater technology industry and defence applications, encompassing naval platforms, commercial vessels, remotely operated vehicles, aquaculture structures and fishing gear;
• 
  
• Enhanced safety and economic efficiencies for Australian and overseas port authorities and pilotage organisations through increased realism in modelled port areas and navigation channels.
