ST Engineering bags US$46m defence export contract

The group’s land systems arm, ST Kinetics, will be supplying mortar systems to an overseas customer.

Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd announced that its land systems arm, Singapore Technologies Kinetics Ltd, has secured an order to supply its 120mm Super Rapid Advanced Mortar Systems to an overseas customer. The contract, worth approximately US$46m (about S$58m), involves the supply of ST Kinetics’ patented 120mm SRAMS and spares with delivery to be completed by 2014.

The 120mm SRAMS is the world’s first 120mm patented mortar system with a recoil load of less than 26 tonnes when firing at maximum charge. This allows it to be mounted onto a wide range of light weight 4x4 vehicles for rapid shoot and scoot missions and heli-portability. The SRAMS is also equipped with a semi automatic ammo loader allowing for a high firing rate of 10 rounds per minute, thereby enabling missions to be accomplished with fewer mortar systems. Together with its own command and control, fire control system and ammunition on board the vehicle, the SRAMS offers the warfighter on the ground total direct control of its own firepower.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
