Committee of Supply 2024 debate, Day 1: Vikram Nair on unmanned technology
Given the role that unmanned and autonomous technologies will play in the military domain moving forward, it is more important than ever for the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) to utilise and integrate such technologies, said MP Vikram Nair in Parliament on Wednesday (Feb 28). He noted that on the flip side, automated technologies can also pose a risk to Singapore’s forces due to their relatively low cost and barriers to entry, which may provide opportunities for others to threaten Singapore's security. He asked the Ministry of Defence to provide an update on how the SAF has been integrating unmanned technologies to enhance its capabilities and also how it is dealing with the potential threats from these technologies.
