Strategic Alliances
Gaining access to leading-edge technologies
Sensol has established many strategic alliances with leading scientific and commercial institutions in Australia. Formal collaboration and joint venture agreements provide Sensol with access to leading-edge technologies with potential applications world-wide. Some of these strategic alliances are shown below.
Defence Science and Technology Organisation
Sensol is collaborating with the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO), Australia's leading research organisation developing technical applications for military purposes and spinoff commercial applications. The Collaboration provides for joint development of seismic sensor systems and signal analysis techniques which will then be commercialised world-wide by Sensol.
Australian Defence Forces Academy
Sensol is collaborating with the Australian Defence Forces Academy (ADFA) in the development of long-range surveillance telescope systems for security and emergency applications. The collaboration will provide Sensol with world-class surveillance technologies able to be incorporated into Sensol's core sensor capabilties for applications such as bushfire management, law enforcement, and long range detection.
Dyesol Ltd
Dyesol Ltd is the world's leading supplier of 3rd generation solar technology. Recent breakthrough products include the camouflage flexible solar panel able to provide sustaining charge to sensors in remote locations. Sensol has a preferred supplier agreement for incorporating these solar panels into seismic, ground and fence sensor systems for remote locations.
Australian National University
Sensol collaborates with the Australian National University (ANU) on the development of environment monitoring systems, new sensors for water monitoring, and sensors relevant to global warming. Collaboration is with the ANU Institute for the Environment, the School of Engineering and SATOMGI Materials Science and Engineering.
ActewAGL
Sensol is undertaking a research program in collaboration with ACTEWAGL in Canberra to research and develop a commercial system which employs acoustic analysis techniques to determine sewer pipe condition in order to significantly reduce maintenance costs. Current indications are that this concept is viable and trials are scheduled for early 2008. If successful, the system will be commercialised by Sensol for use by water utilities across Australia and worldwide.
