The technical development strategy is foreseen to include a development strategy, a delivery strategy and a testing strategy with the associated approach and methods for each strategy. For example, the testing strategy will describe the testing approach of the system development cycle and it will include methods of testing, testing objectives, time and resources required. As there are very many methods and strategies to choose from, the rational is that there should be an evaluation framework for selecting an appropriate strategy and method. The framework encourages one to design a problem-solving approach by matching a method to task (Glass and Vessey, 1998). In engaging with such a framework, the questions of what development framework are best suited to a particular application and whether enough research information is available to aid the selection of development methods and approaches need answering. These questions were raised by Glass and Vessey (1998) almost fifteen years ago in software systems development and are still relevant today.

Therefore, accurate and efficient tyre models for off-road vehicles are needed. But to get that, we need a tyre tester for adjustable slip, camber and caster angles for improved tyre lateral data.

The SLL also incorporates a Developmental Sensor System capable of measuring shock progression within the SLL during mine events.

In this case, we show the application of microwave energy to break narrow tabular ore bodies.
