Our Partners

Our partners include universities, research organisations, industry, Crown Research Institutes, government agencies, and overseas defence science organisations.

Given New Zealand’s small population size, maintaining high quality defence science skills requires a special focus on global networking, information sharing and collaboration. Through this we can draw on the expertise of other specialists in the field, we are more cost-effective, avoid duplicating effort, and deliver greater value to the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF).

We have been collaborating with defence science partners from other nations for many years, mainly through The Technical Cooperation Program (TTCP). We also partner with a variety of public and private sector organisations and businesses, including those with an established record of commercialising new products.

Our partners include:

• Auckland University of Technology
• BECA
• ESR
• MetOcean Solutions – jointly developed SurfZone View
• Transport Accident Investigation Commission
• University of Auckland
• University of Canterbury
• University of Waikato
• Victoria University of Wellington 

Collaboration in Action

Collaborating with other organisations to take the technologies that we develop into the marketplace provides a return on investment that benefits the NZDF and New Zealand taxpayers.
