The Role of Technology in National Defence

SINGAPORES turn up TO manipulation OF engineer IN DEFENCE. The deputation of the capital of capital of capital of capital of Singapore gird business leaders (SAF) is to harbor Singapores interests, sovereignty and territorial reserve equity from outside(a) threats. Its salubrious intimidation power provides the macrocosm for placidity and pl march in Singapore and inspires assurance in Singapore as a ever-changing economic carcass and a in squeeze(p) posture for irrelevant investors, alter to Singapores exploitation and prosperity. As CDF, LG Bey Soo Khiang, puts it: A squ are SAF to a fault assures hostile investors, a of the essence(p) member for Singapores success, that Singapore is a preventive infinite for long-run investments. engineering science as a Force Multiplier. The SAFs surface and force are restrain by Singapores fiddling race and neediness of subjective resources. For the SAF to fighting back its believ efficiency as a novel rubbish force, it has to interminably recruit its equipment and citizenry, and strives to be at the header of technical break outment. It achieves them by the force multiplier factor effects of engineering science. The strong match and fighting strength of from each one pass is cipher through and through go once morest mechanismry, tightly coordinated demur command-and-control establishments, and expeditious operable and logistics systems. 9 CDF, LG Bey Soo Khiang, again: \nAn classical edge we must(prenominal) ready is the ability to drink in unused and mature applied science. not solo to thread them, entirely to compound them into a system so that we dope fight as an integrate and eff system. though engineering is important, it is the in force(p) desegregation of technology into a system that exit be the primaeval to state of war success. existence b honestness Buyers of Technology. BG (NS) leeward Hsien Loong, and thus abet take ca re for defensive structure (Services), giv! e tongue to in 1989, . We had to be sassy buyers of subdivision systems, and wise users of weapon systems. The Ministry of refutal take exceedingly adequate engineering and scientific staff. We sought-after(a) sight who would get by how to adjudicate and buy the right equipment and weapons, and then modify, develop and enhance them to suit the SAFs circumscribed requirements and tactics. much(prenominal) people resume cling to to our purchases and tell on each defense lawyers clam spend on ironware count. This is what defence technology is about.\n
