ST Engineering secures contracts for mine countermeasure unmanned systems for SG Navy

Delivery of the suite will begin in 2027.

Singapore Technologies Engineering (ST Engineering) was awarded contracts by the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) to deliver a suite of mine countermeasure (MCM) unmanned systems to the Republic of Singapore Navy.

The suite of MCM Unmanned Systems will comprise a fleet of Unmanned Surface Vessels (USV) and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV), alongside a Command & Control (C2) Centre.

Designed to operate in unison, the USV and AUV will be integrated with advanced sensors to detect and classify mines.

Real-time data from the USV and AUV will be transmitted to the C2 Centre through a secure communications network, also to be developed by ST Engineering, enabling quick assessments and faster decision-making.

The USV will also be integrated with advanced payloads to identify and neutralise the mines.

The C2 Centre will act as the operational hub, remotely monitoring and controlling the USV and AUV from shore or the mothership to ensure safety.

ST Engineering will begin delivering the MCM unmanned systems in 2027.

ST Engineering will also provide a simulation system for users to hone their operational skills, allowing them to practise decision-making, refine operational techniques, and execute dynamic MCM scenarios safely.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
