telescopes and data archives that are collectively known as the Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF). </p> </div> <p>We are leaders in radio astronomy and are comprised of specialists who work across operations, research and technology. </p> <p>Modern radio astronomy has become dependent on robust firmware, sophisticated embedded computing infrastructure, large-scale data archives, real-time processing algorithms and specific expertise. Along with our telescopes, we have a comprehensive range of expertise, spanning from the intricacies of front-end receivers to deploying machine learning algorithms for analysing the vast data volumes contained within our archives to evolving observatory operations to be increasingly autonomous.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Our vision</h2> <p>Enhancements to our facilities are driven by the evolving science cases made possible by the next generation of telescopes. Upgrades keep ATNF suitable for the wide-ranging science carried out by the global astronomy community. We aim to maximise Australia’s investment in joining and co-hosting the SKA project in part by using the ATNF facilities explicitly to support, extend and complement the SKA telescopes.</p> <p>In 2024, through consultation we developed a Decadal Plan document, outlining our vision for the next decade.
