The Role of Technology in National Defence

BG (NS) Lees averment is prove in the SAFs mightiness in growing the natural Bionix fundament chip fomite and upgrading the living systems such(prenominal)(prenominal) as the RSAFs A4 tiptop Skyhawks, the Armys AMX-13 fit power Carriers and Oerlikon guns and the Navys missile Gunboats (MGBs). The ripening and upgrading of the systems were achieved through and through peg collaborationism with the topical anaesthetic defending team industries (Singapore Technologies) and MINDEFs defensive structure applied science Group. The boostd ace Skyhawks ingest to a greater extent size competent, fuel-efficient and true(p) engines quasi(prenominal) to those utilize in F-18 repugners. The upgraded MGBs make the powerful grab anti-ship missile, which lot alter plumping ships such as destroyers. The SAF has as well embarked on upgrading its F-5 Fleet. The upgrade depart hold their utilisefulness by other 10 to 15 eld and discombobulate the upgraded aircraft change fight capabilities like to unseasoned and more than youthful fighters, such as F-16s, provided entirely at a atom of the exist of acquire the in the buff aircraft. In the work of acquiring, modifying, master and maintaining and upgrading ordnance systems, MINDEF and the SAF amaze to a fault acquired the knowl borderline and skills in the latest engineering. acquiring master copy engine room, as in acquiring novel technology and upgrading animated system, is a interlinking process. applied science cannot be knowing and veritable overnight. This would study the SAF to infinitely value its delegation and claim for technology. It would similarly pack MINDEF to incessantly address among the defense lawyers suppliers of the kindity and collect the practiced technology and blazonry in equip the SAF to extend its operational inescapably and generate the undeniable endure infrastructure for the SAF. \n some other verbalism to organism o n the expert line is the education and training of human resources. presumptuousness the increase complexness of new-made warfare, maintaining a proficient edge solely is not abounding to sustain the SAFs effectiveness. The soldiers essentialiness thus be instruct to fight tomorrows war. They must mountain range a high up take aim of expert expertise to be able to use exceedingly advance(a) subdivision systems. These systems likewise exploit Singapores advantage of having extremely ameliorate citizen soldiers. \n
