Singapore police unveil new tactical strike vehicles and water cannon fleet
SPF has deployed new water cannon vehicles to replace models that had been in service for 20 years.
The water cannons are fitted with independent cameras with zoom capabilities, allowing officers to identify and aim at targets more accurately.
A 360-degree crowd-repelling system has also been added to the water cannon vehicles to help officers disperse crowds more effectively while improving crew protection.
A riot control system and a barricade remover are two new features that has been added to the upgraded tactical strike vehicles.
Mounted at the front of the vehicle, the barricade remover can push aside obstacles to clear a path for responding police units and enable emergency services to reach the injured promptly.
The riot control system gives officers a range of less-lethal options, including a long-range acoustic device and grenade launchers that fire non-lethal munitions.
