ST Engineering bagged $68mn worth of contract

ST Electronics will develop a highly flexible simulation system for various armoured vehicles.

According to ST Engineering, the contract is to supply Army Gunnery Tactical & Driving Simulation Systems to the MInistry of Defence, Singapore.

Work on contract commences immediately and the systems are expected to be delivered in 2014.

In order to maximise cost effectiveness, the new Army Gunnery Tactical & Driving Simulation Systems will be designed to accommodate existing components where possible by applying a roll-in-roll-out concept to both the gunnery and the driving simu lators. This will allow users to easily configure the systems with any combination of turrets and vehicles.

ST Electronics had previously delivered an Armoured Gunnery & Tactical Simulator to the Singapore Armed Forces in early 2002. Under the new contract, it will also upgrade and develop the existing Armoured Gunnery & Tactical Simulator (AGTS), Infantry Crew Tactical Simulator (ICTS), Armoured Driving Simulator (ADS) and Infantry Driving Simulator (IDS) for MINDEF.

Lee Fook Sun, President, ST Electronics said: "We are delighted to be awarded this project as it represents an important milestone in the development of indigenous simulation technologies. The Army Gunnery Tactical & Driving Simulation Systems will enable our troops to train realistically and cost-effectively. It will also allow our soldiers to train within a full spectrum network-centric environment that involves integrated combined arms operations and in combat scenarios that may be flexibly tailored to meet the specific training req uirements of the soldier and his combat unit."
