Australian Society for Defence Engineering

The Australian Society for Defence Engineering (ASDE) has three aims:

• provide a forum for the intellectual and fraternal exchange of information;
• be the pre-eminent learned society by embracing all aspects of engineering theory, practice, heritage, training and development relevant to the Armed Forces and the defence of Australia; and
• inform members on developments in defence material and major engineering works within ADF and other armed forces.

Membership is open to serving and retired members of the Australian Defence Force and allied services, as well as those with an interest from government, industry, commerce and academic institutions. Society members do not have to be members of Engineers Australia.
