Singapore Army Orders $100m Advanced Combat System

The Singapore Army has awarded a $100m contract to ST Engineering for the advanced combat man system (ACMS). ACMS is a third-generation networked warrior system with advanced C4I (command, control, communications, computers and intelligence) and network features. ACMS technology integrates the soldier's capabilities as part of a network-centric force. The system can improve the situational awareness of the soldier, increasing mobility, command and control thereby enhancing combating capabilities. The project is expected to be complete by 2012.
