ST Engineering to Showcase Diverse and Smart Solutions at Singapore Airshow 2018

Feb. 5, 2018
Among them are smart MRO initiatives to enhance operation and services.
Singapore, 4 February 2018 – ST Engineering, Singapore’s homegrown global defence and engineering group will be showcasing its technology know-how, new and proven solutions, as well as battle-tested products at the coming Singapore Airshow 2018. Through an extensive display that sprawls over a 2,000 sqm space, trade visitors will learn more about the Group’s aerospace services and capabilities, as well as its world-class products and solutions for both defence and commercial customers in its other business sectors comprising electronics, land systems and marine. At the same time, members of the public can get to appreciate some of ST Engineering’s solutions that contribute to Singapore’s defence eco-system.   Organised into three clusters at its pavilion – Aviation, Defence and Smart City – the exhibits will feature smart technologies and their applications in new and enhanced solutions. Taking centrestage will be new ideas and proof of concepts developed by its team of engineers that seek out new frontiers when solving real-world problems. Highlights of these solutions, many of which leverage robotics and artificial intelligence, include: an operating platform that is capable of integrating highly autonomous networks of drones to form a ‘Drone City’; vessels capable of carrying out maritime surveillance and high-value assets escort autonomously; and mobile robots which help automate logistics operations in industrial, healthcare, hospitality and other commercial environments. And for the first time, the Group will be presenting its military training solution through a Live, Virtual and Constructive (LVC) demonstration which integrates live "surrogate" trainers with Augmented Reality (AR) targets, virtual man-in-the-loop simulators and constructive simulation forces in a networked environment to enhance training realism, effectiveness and safety.“As countries and businesses around the world adapt to the fourth industrial evolution and rethink the old way of doing things, our showcase at the airshow will demonstrate how we integrate our diverse capabilities and latest technologies to create robust and well-customised solutions for real-world problems,” said Mr Chew Men Leong, Chief Marketing Officer at ST Engineering.  “Apart from keeping aircraft flying safely with industry's leading engineering design and Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) capabilities, our engineering solutions also strengthen security for communities and enhance livability of cities in an increasingly digital and borderless world.”
