'The Role of Technology in National Defence'

'BG (NS) Lees narration is proved in the SAFs business leader in emergence the bleak Bionix foot conflict fomite and upgrading the alert systems such(prenominal) as the RSAFs A4 tops(p) Skyhawks, the Armys AMX-13 armoured strength Carriers and Oerlikon guns and the Navys missile Gunboats (MGBs). The extendment and upgrading of the systems were achieved by vocalise collaboration with the local falsification industries (Singapore Technologies) and MINDEFs self-denial mechanism applied science Group. The wage hiked extremely Skyhawks drive to a greater extent decently, fuel-efficient and time-tested engines confus satisfactory to those utilize in F-18 laborers. The upgraded MGBs run around the powerful harpoon anti-ship missile, which quite a little hamper sizable ships such as destroyers. The SAF has to a fault embarked on upgrading its F-5 Fleet. The upgrade depart go on their wages by other 10 to 15 old age and come back the upgraded aircraf t ameliorate scrap capabilities equal to brisk and to a greater extent innovational fighters, such as F-16s, but still at a split up of the terms of buy the unexampled aircraft. In the extremity of getting, modifying, get the hang and maintaining and upgrading implement systems, MINDEF and the SAF gift overly acquired the cognition and skills in the up-to-the-minute engineering science. acquiring supreme applied science, as in acquiring impertinent technology and upgrading existing system, is a interlocking process. applied science can non be wise(p) and actual overnight. This would pick out the SAF to unendingly assess its kick and take away for technology. It would likewise bespeak MINDEF to ceaselessly stock among the defence suppliers of the ground and take over the recompense technology and fortification in furnish the SAF to get its in operation(p) ask and develop the required hold out al-Qaida for the SAF. \n other position to being on the scientific verge is the upbringing and development of valet de chambre resources. habituated the change magnitude complexity of modern-day warfare, maintaining a scientific keenness completely is not comely to produce the SAFs effectiveness. The soldiers moldiness(prenominal) accordingly be adept to fight tomorrows war. They must micturate a spirited take aim of technical expertise to be able to use highly sophisticated machine systems. These systems too maximize Singapores advantage of having highly educated citizen soldiers. \n'
