DEPLOYMENTS SPAN AIR DEFENCE AND CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE ACROSS ASIAN MARKETS

ST Engineering has announced that its Digital Systems business has secured new counter-drone deployments across Asia — outside of Singapore — over the past several months, reflecting what the company describes as growing demand for effective counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) solutions as defence and security agencies respond to the rapid evolution of drone-related threats. The new deployments include an air defence application and a separate deployment protecting multiple critical infrastructure sites, underscoring the adaptability of the technology across two distinct operational environments.

Low Jin Phang, Chief Operating Officer for Defence and Public Security, and President for Digital Systems at ST Engineering, said counter-drone capabilities had become an increasingly important part of modern defence and security operations. He said the deployments underscored the growing demand for integrated solutions against evolving drone threats and validated ST Engineering’s ability to deliver operationally proven counter-drone capabilities.

LAYERED DEFENCE ARCHITECTURE: SENSORS, AI COMMAND AND EFFECTORS

ST Engineering’s counter-drone solution is built on a layered defence architecture that combines advanced sensors, AI-enabled command-and-control, and a choice of soft-kill and hard-kill effectors to detect, track, identify and neutralise drone threats across a broad spectrum of platform types. The modular design is engineered for deployment across defence, public security and critical infrastructure protection missions, and has been developed through extensive testing and operational validation. The system draws on the group’s integrated expertise across sensors, communications systems, artificial intelligence and mission systems.

ST ENGINEERING: GROUP PROFILE AND SCALE

Singapore Technologies Engineering — trading as ST Engineering and listed on the Singapore Exchange under the ticker S63 — is a global technology, defence and engineering group with a diverse portfolio spanning commercial aerospace, defence and public security, and urban solutions and satellite communications. Founded on 27 January 1967 and incorporated in its current form in 1997, the company is headquartered in Singapore and operates across Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States, serving customers in more than 100 countries. ST Engineering is majority-owned by Temasek Holdings, Singapore’s state investment company.

The group employs approximately 27,000 people. Its Defence and Public Security segment, which encompasses the counter-drone capability among a broader portfolio of systems, accounted for approximately 43% of the group’s revenue in 2025. ST Engineering is a component stock of the MSCI Singapore Index, the FTSE Straits Times Index and the Dow Jones Best-in-Class Asia Pacific Index, and describes its unifying purpose as harnessing technology and innovation to enable a more secure and sustainable world.

The group’s aspiration, stated in its own corporate communications, is to become a global technology, defence and engineering powerhouse. Within that ambition, its counter-drone capability represents one element of a broader Defence and Public Security portfolio that spans C5ISR, land defence systems, training and simulation, critical infrastructure and surveillance systems, and maritime systems — a portfolio with operational deployments across multiple countries and growing exposure to the demand for integrated security solutions that is driven by the proliferation of commercially available drone technology.
