About the Defence Systems Innovation Centre
The Defence Systems Innovation Centre (DSIC) is a source of contemporary thinking and best-practice in systems engineering research, consulting and education.
To achieve this, the DSIC partners and collaborates with Australian and international Universities, Public Sector Research and Training Agencies, defence Prime Contractors and SMEs, and the Department of Defence.
DSIC provides independent, vendor-neutral expertise in concepts, strategies, modelling, tools development, training and education to enable the defence community to develop its skills and knowledge to deliver defence systems solutions successfully.
DSIC applies its expertise to resolving complex problems in current and future acquisition programs and in-service support through the application of world-leading capability.
Formed in 2008, the DSIC is a Joint Venture between the University of South Australia and the University of Adelaide. The joint venture agreement makes provision for other universities to join DSIC.
The DSIC draws on the world-class expertise and resources of the Adelaide University's Centre for Defence Communications and Information Networking and the University of South Australia's Defence and Systems Institute.
