Singapore Armed Forces to introduce new combat uniform in 2009
By Lynda Hong, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 03 September 2008 0238 hrs
SINGAPORE: Singapore's men in green will be seeing a new combat uniform from next year.Some 300,000 servicemen will eventually be wearing the new SAF combat uniform with high-tech pixelised patterns on it. The patterns replace the large green patches on the old outfit.
The new material maintains the camouflage effect even when viewed through night vision devices.
It is also designed to be used in war zones that extend beyond the jungle.
Colonel Tan Chor Kiat, Chief of Staff, HQ 9 Division, Infantry, Singapore Armed Forces, said: "When you talk about urban terrain, you are really looking at a very unique characteristic where the opposing forces can co-exist within the same urban terrain in a very volatile system.
"Consequently, the soldiers are going to get shot at a lot more often, and at a much shorter distance."
According to the SAF, the new uniform increases detection time by 30 to 50 percent in the urban environment, making it harder for enemies to find their targets.
It is also made from better quality fabric, which helps dissipate sweat and heat away from the body quicker, and comes with ergonomic features such as extra padding and pockets.
It will be introduced to all servicemen over a three-year period starting from 2009.
The first to receive the new uniforms will be recruits from the January Basic Military Training intake, as well as active personnel and NSmen in their sixth and seventh In-Camp Training years, while the rest will get theirs in 2010 and 2011.
NSmen currently in their seventh to ninth years, however, will not receive the new uniform.
SAF said this phased approach takes into consideration the wear and tear of servicemen's existing uniforms. - CNA/de

maybe they already have..? Considering that the picture shown in AsiaOne's gallery is a plater carrier system, i wonder if they have developed a digicamo LBV..if they've already done so, wouldnt it be a waste of money considering it hasnt been too long ago that they came up with the LBV system..? what would happen to all the surplus of the current LBV..?

yup, they will deduct your credits for one set, but you'll get three sets. so it's 3 for the price of one

AFAIK, there are no stockpiles of LBVs-- the spiral development system also means that there will be no build up of equipment, just constant improvements and issue. What I have seen so far seems to support the theory-- in the past 2 years in the Army, I have seen 3 major changes and many minor changes in the issued LBV-- I would guess that each production batch is different.
Of course, this also means that "uniformity" is a thing of the past :P

Outfield, the LBV would cover the chest area anyway so it wouldn't matter. In camp, or in civilian areas, or where ever, you want the name tag, country tag, to stand out so that people will be able to recognise who you are and where you come from. So the two-tone solution seems to be best, doesn't it?
