ST Engineering announced at the recent IMDEX that it has been awarded contracts by MINDEF to deliver a Suite of Mine Countermeasure Unmanned Systems for the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN). The suite of MCM Unmanned Systems will be progressively delivered from 2027.
“The suite of MCM Unmanned Systems epitomises our capabilities in unmanned technology and our ability to provide strategic value in mission-critical applications,” said Low Jin Phang, President, Digital Systems, ST Engineering. “Building on our success in delivering the Maritime Security Unmanned Surface Vessels for the RSN, we aim to push the boundaries of USVs and AUVs for MCM operations with AI, enabling real-time data analysis for faster, more informed decisions. We are excited to take this forward and remain committed to supporting MINDEF with cutting-edge solutions that enhance operational effectiveness and mission success.”
The suite of MCM Unmanned Systems provided by ST Engineering will comprise a fleet of Unmanned Surface Vessels (USV) and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV), alongside a Command & Control (C2) Centre, all of which will be engineered to work in tandem to detect and eliminate underwater mines.
A high-fidelity simulation system will also be supplied by ST Engineering for users to hone their operational skills and practise decision-making, refine operational techniques and execute dynamic MCM scenarios safely.
Designed to operate in unison, both 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 fromshore or the mothership, ensuring safety by maintaining a safe distance during the MCM operation.
