Saab, DSTA strengthen partnership to advance innovation in underwater technologies
Saab and Singapore’s Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) have signed an expanded Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deepen collaboration on the exploration of underwater technologies.
The agreement was signed on November 20 at the Sweden – Singapore Royal Business Forum in connection with the first Swedish state visit to Singapore.
The expanded MoU builds upon a previous agreement signed in 2023, which focused on long-term supportability, people development, and smart technologies.
With the updated scope, DSTA and Saab will jointly explore underwater solutions aimed at building and safeguarding capabilities for enhanced maritime security and resilience.
Furthermore, the parties will conduct joint studies of operational concepts and emerging technologies.
“This expanded MoU builds upon the fruitful cooperation between Saab and DSTA in the naval domain and reflects our shared commitment to underwater technology innovation. Together, we will leverage our expertise to strengthen maritime security,” said Anders Carp, Saab’s Deputy CEO.
“Collaborating with an industry leader like Saab enables DSTA to push the boundaries of what’s possible in underwater defence technology. Through this expanded MoU, we will build on our existing partnership to co-develop advanced solutions that not only meet evolving security demands but also position Singapore at the forefront of maritime resilience and innovation,” stated Roy Chan, Deputy Chief Executive (Operations) DSTA.
