This array of systems are expected to improve synergy between air, sea, and land forces, and strengthen defensive and offensive capabilities as SAF operates a pre-emptive defence policy - similar to that of Israel. There have also been further investments in personnel training, including a new live-firing training facility, designed to enhance urban warfare and close-quarters combat capabilities. ST Electronics has taken delivery of a Cyber Security Simulator, which will...
