Naval Systems & Infrastructure
DSTA plays an important role in the acquisition and deployment of advanced
naval vessels, sophisticated equipment, and state-of-the-art technology
for the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN). By harnessing technologies
across various disciplines and collaborating with local and
international partners, DSTA has provided the RSN with innovative and
customised solutions.
The Formidable-class stealth frigate programme is one such showcase of
DSTA's expertise in the management of the development and construction
of ships, as well as the integration of their combat systems which
include radar, sonar, missiles, guns, torpedos and communication
systems. As the overall programme manager and systems integrator, DSTA
specified and managed the stealth design, equipped and integrated the
frigates with advanced combat systems. These features enable the RSN to
perform a wide spectrum of missions and deal with various threats in
all dimensions of naval warfare - surface, air and underwater.
DSTA also manages the development and construction of infrastructural
facilities. DSTA has harnessed leading-edge technology in the
development of Changi Naval Base, an ecologically-friendly base that is
equipped with intelligent, state-of-the-art facilities. The highly
automated warehouse, the Indirect Seawater Cooling System and the Ice
Thermal Storage System developed for this facility have helped to
optimise the scarce resource of land and manpower.
Beyond providing solutions for the RSN, DSTA also extends its expertise
towards meeting the nation's needs. One example is the development of
the floating platform which is an innovative solution to the problem of
land shortage. This infrastructural facility is a highly configurable
platform on water which provides a cost-effective alternative to meet
space requirements for mass-spectator events.
