Tender Description
The Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG) Quantum Research Network (QRN), under the Next Generation Technologies Fund (NGTF), is seeking submissions in the area of Quantum-Enhanced Communications (QEC). We will contribute funding and support innovative proposals from industry, academia and Government-Funded Organisations (GFO) that identify and pursue QEC S&T areas critical for future Australian Defence capability. This new call seeks to build upon the successful outcomes of previous rounds of QRN investment, and to identify new partnering opportunities at the intersection of quantum technology and communications.
S&T proposals are sought in the field of QEC technologies and systems, applicable to one or more of the following broad focus areas:
1. Quantum-secured communication
2. Quantum time transfer
3. Quantum memories and repeaters
4. Free-space quantum communications
5. Quantum-enabled RF communications
6. Quantum-enhanced classical communications
The NGTF Quantum Technologies Priority Theme is particularly aligned to the QAPNT STaR Shot. A key priority is to build sovereign capability in strategic quantum-enhanced communication technologies that will assist in addressing the challenge of operating in a GPS denied/compromised environment.
