Singapore Technologies Engineering (ST Engineering) has announced that it has been awarded contracts by MINDEF to deliver a suite of Mine Countermeasure (MCM) Unmanned Systems for the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN).
“The suite of MCM Unmanned Systems epitomises our capabilities in unmanned technology and our ability to provide strategic value in mission-critical applications,” President of Digital Systems at ST Engineering, Low Jin Phang, said.
The suite of MCM Unmanned Systems will include a fleet of Unmanned Surface Vessels (USV) and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV), alongside a Command & Control (C2) Centre, all of which will be engineered to work in tandem to detect and eliminate underwater mines.
“Building on our success in delivering the Maritime Security Unmanned Surface Vessels for the RSN, we aim to push the boundaries of USVs and AUVs for MCM operations with AI, enabling real-time data analysis for faster, more informed decisions. We are excited to take this forward and remain committed to supporting MINDEF with cutting-edge solutions that enhance operational effectiveness and mission success," Phang stated.
Additionally, ST Engineering will provide a high-fidelity simulation system for users to hone their operational skills, ensuring they can practise decision-making, refine operational techniques and execute dynamic MCM scenarios safely.
