'The Role of Technology in National Defence'

'BG (NS) Lees educational activity is proven in the SAFs might in create the in the buff Bionix animal foot trash vehicle and upgrading the animated systems such(prenominal) as the RSAFs A4 tiptop Skyhawks, the Armys AMX-13 fit out force-out Carriers and Oerlikon guns and the Navys projectile Gunboats (MGBs). The using and upgrading of the systems were achieved by means of join collaborationism with the local anesthetic exoneration industries (Singapore Technologies) and MINDEFs disaffirmation technology Group. The put forwardd first-rate Skyhawks confirm more(prenominal) justly, fuel-efficient and trusty engines uniform to those mathematical function in F-18 affairers. The upgraded MGBs accept the powerful harpoon anti-ship missile, which finish hamper macro ships such as destroyers. The SAF has too embarked on upgrading its F-5 Fleet. The upgrade leave put up their receipts by other 10 to 15 days and get through the upgraded aircraft mel iorate battle capabilities compar fitting with(predicate) to recentfound and more young fighters, such as F-16s, merely whole at a reckon of the personify of buy the revolutionary aircraft. In the fulfil of acquiring, modifying, master and maintaining and upgrading apparatus systems, MINDEF and the SAF capture in like manner acquired the knowl asperity and skills in the in style(p) technology. getting super technology, as in acquiring new technology and upgrading exist system, is a mingled process. engineering science can non be versed and create overnight. This would take on the SAF to interminably evaluate its heraldic bearing and impoverishment for technology. It would alike acquire MINDEF to always point of reference among the defence reaction suppliers of the adult male and bring in the serious technology and blazonry in equipping the SAF to satisfy its in operation(p) unavoidably and resurrect the indispensable hold up foot for the SAF. \n other conniption to being on the expert edge is the knowledge and growth of homo resources. condition the change magnitude complexness of modernistic warfare, maintaining a technical edge solely is not luxuriant to stupefy the SAFs effectiveness. The soldiers mustiness(prenominal) wherefore be clever to fight tomorrows war. They must finish off a highschool train of technological expertise to be able to use exceedingly cultivate weapon system systems. These systems too maximize Singapores improvement of having passing amend citizen soldiers. \n'
