Range safety capability promoted by DSTO
The Range Safety Template Toolkit (RSTT) being developed by the Australian Defence Science and Technology Organisation with the assistance and advice of Aerospace Concepts Pty Ltd was promoted in a recent edition of Australian Defence Science.
RSTT is being developed to quantify the risk to people and facilities from flight testing of air weapons such as the ASRAAM air-to-air missile and the JASSM cruise missile. With appropriate simulation model development, RSTT can be applied to in-service air weapons as well as those being planned and procured.
Aerospace Concepts’ role in RSTT development over several years has been to provide systems engineering, assurance and project management advice to DSTO. More recently, our role has expanded to include flight dynamics analysis and modelling of space launch vehicles and hypersonic test aircraft to produce range safety templates for the DSTO-led HIFiRE joint US / Australia collaborative hypersonic flight research program.
In the Australian Defence Science, Volume 15, Number 3, Spring issue, DSTO shares more about RSTT:
“Anyone positioned in close proximity to live firings of missiles and bomb drops is faced by the concern that the point of impact is always somewhat uncertain due to factors such as possible technical malfunction. DSTO is developing a tool called the Range Safety Template Toolkit (RSTT) that quantifies and displays the levels of risk across an area when these kinds of weapons are launched.”
