A quick snapshot of the full complement of exhibits from ST Electronics showcased at Singapore Airshow 2008 is provided below for your information. Please refer to the Fact Sheet(pl go the ST site) attached for further information.Advanced Combat Man System (ACMS)
The ACMS is the centrepiece of a highly integrated structure of manned and unmanned platforms, air and ground, weapon and sensors assets. This seamless integration results in a more effective and efficient, unified combat force, that significantly enhances coordinated operations between the intra- and inter-fighting units - allowing the soldier to see and fight better on the battlefield. Leveraging on technology, the ACMS enhances the soldier's lethality, situational awareness and survivability. Equipped with a battlefield monitoring system, navigation capabilities that enables him to manoeuvre quickly and accurately, the soldier can engage enemy targets from unexpected directions as he is part of the digitised battlefield that provides a superior situation awareness, allowing him to make informed decisions and take quick action.
The Miltope TSC-750M Rugged Laptop was designed to perform under the harshest conditions. Meeting the MIL-STD-810/461/464 standards, it is the most powerful and configurable portable computing system available for military tactical operations.
NEMIS Cooled Handheld Thermal Imager is a state-of-art, third generation focal plane array (FPA) thermal imaging camera. It offers compactness with performance unmatched in its class.
CORIS Uncooled Handheld Thermal Imager is a cost effective, portable thermal imaging camera developed especially for para-military applications; namely the SQAT, police forces, security professionals and the search & rescue team.
Mini-Turret (mini-T) is an advanced lightweight stabilised day/night surveillance system designed for unstable surface platforms. Easy to install, its multi sensor design enables interchangeability of systems to cater to requirement and upgradeability.Other comm ,surveillance etc sys also very important.Read carefully then u acn know the progress of ST.

waste of time

No leh, some said it was a wonderful experience.
You don't see planes flying crazily..etc, but I think last year was more exciting as you can see the A380.
-
how many foreign combat aircraft involve with the exhibit?
-
be well prepared for those who intends to make the last minute rush to the last day of the airshow.... bring hat, bring water, bring foldable stool and bring your tickets...(you cannot buy ticket at the site.. get it from the SAM machines)
if some of the information i have recieved thus far indicates... there is gonan be a tsunami of humans... today alone got 40,000... that is a cool 800,000 dollar clean profit for the organizers.....in terms of tickets sold.
check out the boeing booth for the cool F-15SG cap/calender/stickers (i heard its available only at certain timing... check with the staff)
the isrealis booth got the best presentation... and the prettiest presenter... that attracts hordes of crowd and draw many claps from the audience...
most importantly... dont miss the black knights display....
-
S$20.00 per person too expensive
Q 2 hrs @ pasir ris interchange, Q another 1 hrs @ site enterance for security screening
totally waste of time

want to see military sg aircraft can go open house to see. anyway, i still prefer the asian areospace from last time. now no longer will be held in sg
i think this airshow
is waste of time and money -
Failure man...
-
i think its up to the individuals opinion.... i just visited some foreign forums... and boy they were praising us off the roof... some malaysian even took the time to cross the causeway, join the long queue... took hundreds of pictures.... and jumping with joy....
apparently... it boils down to what is your real interest... and whether your interest (lack of it) is worth the time and money spent is on such a trip.
-
I wish to see other aircrafts leh. Every show seems to feature pretty much the same stuff.
And damn. I missed it when the F-111C paid a visit.
-
the russians seem to be conspiciously absent ...
-
sukoi was there promoting their planes.... but their fighter planes weren't.

Like kinda no point ainnit? -
who ask you all to go during public day? Cant get a descent shot without people. People all around leaving fingerprints all every part of the aircraft, holding pinics under the wings. Disgusting man.

My friends who went said it wasn't worth the ticket price compared to Asian Aerospace of the years past...

as i said... it depends on your interest... if your interest is solely on the sukoi... then it aint your kind of cake because the sukois didnt come (they didnt come for SA nor for LIMA (lima sukoi is from RMAF)afterall... with the chinese and indians bitching about their respective SU-30mkX.. i doubt few countries with afew notable morons would still be interested in their product in this region)... but that does not imply that the SA is a failure... the SA was not set up to cater to your preference....
the success of the show is dependent on the opinion of the trade exhibitors and the trade visitors.... they are the ones who pays big bucks to be at the show (compare to your 20 dollar)... and their re-registration for the next show says it all...with regards to the success of the show in their opinion.

Can't really compare the shows from different years.
To military nuts the most exciting show was the one just before we selected F15, the presence of Rafale and Typhoon was very significant. This time none is there, not even the Gripen. Also there is little presence of the Chinese from PRC and the Russian.
Those interested in aircraft maintenance will find this year interesting with the models of all types of engines on display, especially from Rolls Royce and Pratt & Whitney. There is also significantly more players from the support industry present at the show.
Singapore Airshow this year is still more interesting than the Asian Aerospace in HK.
