Why did they choose ST??
ST Engineering's Land Systems Arm Secures US$31.6m Defence Export Contract
Singapore, 20 February 2008 - Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd (ST Engineering) today announced that its land systems arm, Singapore Technologies Kinetics Ltd (ST Kinetics), has been awarded a contract worth approximately US$31.6m (about S$44.8m) by a Middle Eastern customer.
This contract is not expected to have any material impact on the consolidated net tangible assets per share and earnings per share of ST Engineering for the current financial year.
The contract, part of a consortium effort to provide a mobile mortar system, involves the supply of ST Kinetics' patented 120mm Super Rapid Advanced Mortar System (SRAMS) with delivery to be completed in 2011.
The SRAMS is the world's first and only 120mm mortar system with a recoil load of less than 26 tonnes when firing at maximum charge thus allowing it to be mounted onto a wide range of light weight vehicles. The low recoil force also allows for rapid shoot and scoot missions without the need for an out-rigger. It is equipped with an automatic round loader and has a high firing rate of ten rounds per minute hence enabling missions to be accomplished with fewer mortar systems.

SINGAPORE : Businessman Richard Chan usually leaves it to his wife to pick their daughter from the Singapore Chinese Girls' School (SCGS). But on Thursday afternoon, he decided to accompany his wife to the school.
With Mas Selamat Kastari - terror detainee-turned-fugitive - still at large, Mr Chan did not want to take any chances.
"I may have not sent my daughter to school if I had known earlier," he told TODAY.
In what Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng described as a "security lapse", Mas Selamat, head of the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) terrorist network here, gave his guards the slip while he was being taken to the toilet at the Whitley Detention Centre, which is near SCGS.
The massive manhunt for the 47-year-old fugitive, who walks with a limp, continued on Thursday.
"Extensive police, the Singapore Armed Forces and other security resources are still deployed and no efforts will be spared to track him down," the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said last night.
The soldiers were brought in on Thursday to help the thousands of policemen, Gurkhas and men from the elite Special Operations Forces already deployed cover a wider area.
maybe SRMS can be filled with shaped charge and fragmentionations and crashed into him to stop him?
dunts say i anyhow say this or that bad or good.

The mighty Uncle Sam,with billions budgets in intelligences,CIA etc and all the best hard ware technology in the earth,also suffer the 9-11 attacks.
Human being will make mistake.Look at the forest ,son.Look at the long term.
1.No need to be too happy for ammo export.
This just show there are others also find value for $$$ in ST products which can equip almost all SAF need,except some major platforms,like Sub,CV,3 or 4 gen fighters etc.
Pl note Singapore Technology has reduced the list of its military products to the current one:

2.Think what ST cannot make?Not much,except the few major platforms!!
Why UK bought ST 40 mm ammo since 2002?
Our price is cheap?
In Vietnam war,ST bullets is famous for its accuracy,near Graded bullets for competitions.
Why so good?Management!!Good Pay,down to earth work attitude etc.And it was in 1960/70 era!!
-
true...kinda agree...ST has high quality. heard our bullets are really in a different league from those of other countries, for eg. the 5.56 which we use, the cartridge quality is much better, which helps to a certain extent to reduce IA too. the 120mm is good, really fast and easy to operate. have only seen the MTC version, where all you need to do is load the shell and everything is automated. Firing is impressive!:) but i'm not sure whether the 5-6 km range is comparable to other countries.
-
SRAM mortar is great if it works as advertised - can't tell if it can withstand rigors of real world sustained operations.
Max range of some other 120 mm mortars > 6 km - around 8 to 9 km I think. These may have longer barrels & different ammo.
-
hmmm..... so this new customer in 2008 is it UAE or a new customer from middle east?
-
shld be the same one. singapore doesnt sell the good stuff anyhow

Despite a having much more density of money spent per area on security, as well as less freedoms in laws, a more strict system, more money spent per area… etc…etc.
9/11 big plot handling and making use of Uncle Sam freedom laws and big size of country to hide. But SG is many many times smaller son.
We dunt can handle a limping terrorist? Cannot control thousands of infections in dengue, chopping attack, stop 90 percent bullying rate in a so-called world class education system? Is this acceptable?
Human can make mistake… but SG standard now below even human standard! Dunt say I anyhow say this or that bad or goot, the news is out there go see.
What can ST cannot make? It, ST cannot make it.
Also looks at what ST wasted.
Multiple rejected broken rifle designs oveer 20 years that waste taxpayer money before finally coming up with SAR21. While Vietnam era bullets we make so called goot… the rifle they try to make a waste of taxpayer hard earn money.
Waste millions trying to upgrade post WW2 era tank that dunt cant fight properly! Using 75mm ammo in era all tanks using 120mm or even 125mm. Several killed in training accidents with “upgraded” tank. Finally buy second-hand tank that is much better.
Spent millions to design fantail but still not smallest UAV in world… think there is a UAV so smaller? I think so! Even Oz tech with less money spent on reserch selected by NASA for next-generation small UAV design, not ST.
Why ST so good? Cos U only select the goot news!
Dunt only sees the good news about ST son, see the forrest.

hei ,dunt put same topic of JI on every thread.
Be creative lah.

sorry is not i not creative, it's u cannot answer. no surprise... when singaporetyrannosaur show your point on fantail to be smallest is broken and dunt can work u just run away and cannot answer.
JI is top importance national security. If ST systems dunt can run by proper system, how SMRS is also a no use. Look at the forrest son, look at the forrest.
And have I not said there is security problems in Singapore? Dunt say i any how say this that good bad, go see the incident and come say.
is dis just a case of human error one off or a series of errors showing something broken and dunt can work?
1) Soldier can AWOL with ST SAR21 rifle despite SAF post-9/11 security measure.
2)Parang choppings on rise, even women and children not safe.
3) recently 5 wounded in knife accack in "safe" singapore
4) JI man most dangerous in region with limp can escape from high security place. Indon catch him n pass 2 us becos we supposed to be safest, but still dunt work here!
so what is point of ST best this best that when system broken and dunt can work?
and is ST still really always all best all best? look and see the forrest, not the tree son, the forrest.
-spent unsucessful millions to keep old obsolete tank in service, called "upgrade" when it cannot even match anything out there. finally after 20 years decide to buy something proper. Oz 10 years for M113 is peanuts compared 2 this! Meanwhile several soldiers injured n killed using old tank!
-spent millions to make TWO unsucessful rifle design before making SAR21. never heard of them? becos you only wan 2 find good news!
why u say ST so good? cos u class 95 only hear the good news!
