Â鶹ֱ²¥\u2019s Desert Fireball Network<\/a> meteorite tracking capability.<\/p>\nManaging Director \u2013 Australia and New Zealand, Lockheed Martin Space,\u00a0Rod Drury, said FireOPAL is an entirely Australian innovation developed by Lockheed Martin and Â鶹ֱ²¥ that is set to be expanded around the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis technology enables us to track objects in space in a way that hasn\u2019t been done before,\u201d Mr Drury said. \u201cWe are trialing more space situational awareness sensors and new capabilities to assess what is possible and explore the advantages and challenges of combining data from different sensors.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis partnership with Â鶹ֱ²¥ further demonstrates Lockheed Martin\u2019s ongoing commitment to collaborating with Australian researchers and industry to identify and develop advanced technologies for the space domain,\u201d Mr Drury said.<\/p>\n
John Curtin Distinguished Professor Professor Phil Bland, leader of the Desert Fireball Network at Â鶹ֱ²¥, reinforced the importance of partnerships with companies like Lockheed Martin for continuing to support, improve and potentially further develop Australia\u2019s niche space capabilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cFireOPAL is a great example of how blue-sky space science projects can rapidly translate into real benefits for Australian space industries and defence,\u201d Professor Bland said. \u201cFireOPAL has the potential to be a disruptive technology in space situational awareness. We\u2019re looking forward to exploring that potential with Lockheed Martin.\u201d<\/p>\n
The joint research and development partnership between Lockheed Martin Space and Â鶹ֱ²¥ was formally announced at the 68th International Astronautical Congress in September 2017.<\/p>\n
