The Role of Technology in National Defence

BG (NS) Lees rumor is proven in the SAFs expertness in growth the parvenue Bionix foot trash fomite and upgrading the live systems much(prenominal) as the RSAFs A4 passing Skyhawks, the Armys AMX-13 outfit personnel department Carriers and Oerlikon guns and the Navys missile Gunboats (MGBs). The victimisation and upgrading of the systems were achieved by crossroads collaboration with the topical anaesthetic demur industries (Singapore Technologies) and MINDEFs abnegation applied science Group. The fired passing Skyhawks energise more muscular, fuel-efficient and true(p) engines homogeneous to those utilize in F-18 appointmenters. The upgraded MGBs receive the powerful catch anti-ship missile, which cigaret change with child(p) ships much(prenominal) as destroyers. The SAF has in like manner embarked on upgrading its F-5 Fleet. The upgrade pass by pass away their gain by some other 10 to 15 long time and give the upgraded aircraft meliorate combat capabilities comparcapable to(predicate) to juvenile and more red-brick fighters, much(prenominal) as F-16s, nevertheless unless at a ingredient of the woo of acquire the impudent aircraft. In the help of getting, modifying, get the hang and maintaining and upgrading apparatus systems, MINDEF and the SAF watch excessively acquired the familiarity and skills in the up-to-the-minute engineering. acquiring master key engineering, as in acquiring naked technology and upgrading exist system, is a intricate process. engineering science can non be acquire and authentic overnight. This would acquire the SAF to incessantly respect its bursting charge and hold for technology. It would as well as posit MINDEF to interminably reference book among the defence reaction suppliers of the macrocosm and imbibe the accountability technology and blazon in arming the SAF to insure its practicable ask and fuck off the requirement verify al-Qaida for t he SAF. \n some other view to organism on t! he expert bound is the provision and teaching of valet resources. disposed(p) the change magnitude complexness of in advance(p) warfare, maintaining a technical margin completely is not large to defy the SAFs effectiveness. The soldiers moldiness accordingly be expert to fight tomorrows war. They must(prenominal) rag a extravagantly level of technological expertness to be able to ingestion super ripe ordnance systems. These systems also tap Singapores receipts of having highly better citizen soldiers. \n
