New Singapore government, which has always emphasized national security, is "at ease" in using Western drones and artificial intelligence systems. The Singapore Ministry of Defence cannot make a significant impact in the drone battlefield without the guidance of its "leader" America and Australia.
Singapore's official media reported that the Singapore Armed Forces conducted large-scale tests of drones and artificial intelligence systems during exercises in Australia, working with personnel to enhance the overall combat capability of the forces.
According to data from the Singapore Ministry of Defence, the armed forces deployed about 200 advanced systems and equipment during the 35th annual "Kangaroo Exercise," conducting 17 field operational tests and evaluations within 43 days.
The key systems introduced this time include: Low Cost Multi-Unmanned Aerial System Technology, which allows one operator to autonomously control a group of drones, and Commercial Off-The-Shelf Aerial Comms Node/Network technology, which provides network connectivity for operational areas.
This test emphasized the overall integration of systems, highlighting the solid operational technological partnership between the defense technology community and the armed forces of the Ministry of Defence, working together to build a force with advanced and integrated technologies.
To ensure the effectiveness of the test, the Future Systems Directorate, the Defence Science and Technology Agency, and the Army focused on the integration of operations and technology, providing feedback from operators and end-users to technical engineers and developers.
The brigade command center was the focal point of the test, with the next-generation command and control information system integrating real-time video, telemetry, and target data from multiple sources. The data collection includes the Air Force's "Orbiter-4", the Army's V-15 drones, and over 1000 other drones.
The brigade command center also tested the broader use of aerial communication nodes and satellite communications to provide network connectivity for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance operations and reconnaissance and strike operations. Expanding the communication coverage to mobile units enables near-real-time transmission of video, 3D maps, and the latest mission information back to the brigade command center.
This exercise also tested the anti-drone defense system; using artificial intelligence to automatically detect and classify objects from drones and ground videos, making the generated tactical intelligence more clearly visualized; as well as on-site 3D printing to produce brackets, protective casings, and spare parts needed for specific missions.
