Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 2: Vikram Nair on unmanned defence technologies and threats

02:04 Min

Unmanned systems allow militaries to “project force with less manpower”, which is important as Singapore’s birth rate continues to fall, said MP Vikram Nair. Conversely, they give rise to new threats from potential aggressors, including non-state actors, he said in parliament on Monday (Mar 3). Mr Nair asked for an update on how the Singapore Armed Forces has been integrating unmanned technologies into its training and operations, as well as its plans to deal with threats from such platforms.
