DSTA...
-
why we need DSTA, ST and why are they getting paid when all the ideas they get are from MATTEL?
look at the UAV... i was playing with all this toys even before i enlist and now they just add some stuff and call it 1st of it kind???
-
Never been too interested in the hardware they been developing, but the papers they presented on secure communications has been a eye opener in the security area though ...
-
I totally agreed that we are definitely not "1st" in that sense.
We still need a government agency to develop and bring an idea forward. In that aspect, we must applause them from translating a toy idea to an equipment we can use for miltary and security purposes.
Nonetheless, i wish the people at DSTA and ST will stop bragging about their "success" but focus in developing scientist who can think out of the box. In due time, we will have the R&D expertises to develop a truely "1st". Needless to say, this whole process will surely be costly. Till then, we just have to make do. -
i beg to differ.
yes some designs were already found in toys, or comics etc.
how is it easy to bring it to reality ?
i mean everyone gets inspirations from everywhere. does that mean inventors have to pay royalties to say, mother nature if 1 gets an inspiration from a beetle ?
in toys, drawings, it's easy to develop anything. like lightsabers in star wars, george lucas did it for more than 20years ? yet we arent even close to develop lasers 2% of their strength. -

True enough, i do not dispute the fact that the whole process will be costly, R&D is never cheap, especially we do not have a pool of well trained scientist.
To attract people, the government have to pay them well enough. That's a fact in the material world we are living in. To be honestly, i'm not sure if they are that highly paid (as compared to people in the commerial R&D). I got many friends who are scientisits and engineers with DSTA, A-STAR, ST, DSO ranging from mirco biology, bacteria, weapons, ammo & CCC.

2% it may be, but who is to say that it would come true one day? Surely not lightsabers (Personal i wish they could develop one
) but missle defense, the infamous starwars defense umbrella pushed so dearly during Ronald Regent's adminstration. Of course, we do not go about developing all ideas. In R&D, idea screening is important only. Just pray that our guys dun embark on some useless R&D to leads to nowhere. -
I've interacted and learnt from some people in DSTA before.Some of these fellows are brilliant in their field,especially if it has to do with comms and networks.
Nice chaps.Competent researchers, but they do need to get out in the field more and engage the troops using their equipment.Chatted with a DSTA engineer during AA, and we shared some concerns about the SAR21 MMS. -
ok nvm...u lost me..big time~Originally posted by tchiew:

1.How are our toys in unmanned vehicles in land,surface and air compared
with other countries?Amazing,I would say we in the fore run!
Read details fr

Remember our USV Protector is already in real actions.
2.SAR 21,in over all,is better M16 any versions.

4.Take a good look of our military products FOR SALE.Not just pushed to SAF to buy!
There are many co.Read them all.
5.Do other countries have similiar products?
Never mind if ours are the best or no.1.But the altitude to find facts is the most important.Opinions can be oppsite.But not the facts.
Get the facts right first.Do some home work.Then can discuss.

UNBREAKABLE CODE IN THE DOOR STEP
We may be the THIRD COUNTRY in the world to develop a protocol-

We are in the top band in some fields,if not many , in RD.
Only ur eyes is not enough.Open ur mind also. -
I did my network security and encryption a yr ago..and i recalled briefly my lecturer discussed with us the possibilities not of a quantum computer, but computers processing in n Bits.currently the von Nuemann processor still takes in binary (correct me if Intel or IBM has progressed further) but if calculations and gate switching could be made in terms of base 16 ,32 or 64.. u can just think exponetianally how much calculations can jump.Originally posted by lionnoisy:UNBREAKABLE CODE IN THE DOOR STEP

Is that the quantum computer your describing ? 1 drawback of of implementing such a new processor in larger base ,is the fact that the digital world today is build upon the 0 and 1s Needing a total change in protocol and computation will be a very very long process almost impossible but possibe to achieve. -
sooner or later...skynet will take over everything and we'll be fighting for our own existence...i wont be surprised if one day...computers will take over the world...

The paradox about DSOÂ’s work is that the more critical it is, the less we are able to discuss it. Here, we give you a flavour of but some of the highly exciting R&D work that is brewing in some of our labs.
Portable device for through-wall motion detection
R&D work is underway to develop a radar for “through-wall” motion detection. This through-wall radar surveillance technology enables remote location and tracking of the movements of multiple individuals through concrete walls.
Positioned at a distance away, the system transmits ultra wideband electro-magnetic energy that penetrates through wall to detect objects and sense their movements.
This technology could support a number of important applications in both national security and military operations. They include search and rescue operations, counter terrorism and urban warfare situations.
DSO researchers are also looking further into exploiting the potential of this new radar technology to detect weapons or to show the structural layout behind a wall.Unmanned undersea robot – a safer way to clear mines
fr http://www.dso.org.sg/home/capabilities/capabilities_tech.aspx
DSO is conducting R&D to develop an autonomous underwater vehicle that will carry out the dangerous task of detecting underwater mines. Started in 2002, the project exploits various expertise of DSO, such as underwater vehicle design, hydrodynamics, system integration, guidance, navigation and control (GNC).
The 2m-long underwater robot is called SEA-i, a name synonymous to its purpose of being the eyes in the undersea. Running on battery power, the vehicle can travel at six knots, or about 3m a second, for eight hours and can dive to a depth of 100m.
The Sea-i is designed with a “brain” so the course can be pre-programmed. Equipped with sensors, the vehicle will be able to better sense the environment and efficiently map out the area of interest for mine detection.
The Sea-i is still a developmental vehicle that serves to experiment various concepts. DSOÂ’s engineers are working on improving the craft's agility and ability to navigate precisely underwater. The team also hopes to improve the image-processing feature of the Sea-i so that the vehicle can eventually conduct automatic on-board classification of underwater objects. -
