Counter-Drone Capability Gains Momentum in Asia

ST Engineering‘s Digital Systems business has secured new deployments in Asia outside Singapore in the last few months for its counter-drone capability, reflecting growing demand for effective counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) solutions as defence and security agencies strengthen protection against evolving drone threats.

The deployments span both defence and critical infrastructure applications, underscoring the versatility, operational maturity and effectiveness of ST Engineering’s counter-drone capability across diverse mission requirements. These include an air defence deployment and another for the protection of multiple critical infrastructure sites against evolving drone threats.

Built on a layered defence architecture, ST Engineering’s counter-drone solution combines advanced sensors, AI-enabled command-and-control, and soft-kill and hard-kill effectors to detect, track, identify and neutralise evolving drone threats. Its modular design enables deployment across defence, public security and critical infrastructure protection missions.

Low Jin Phang Comments

Low Jin Phang, Chief Operating Officer for Defence & Public Security, and President for Digital Systems, ST Engineering, said, “Counter-drone capabilities have become an increasingly important part of modern defence and security operations. These deployments underscore the growing demand for integrated solutions against evolving drone threats and validate our ability to deliver operationally proven counter-drone capabilities.”

Developed through extensive testing and operational validation, ST Engineering’s counter-drone capability draws on the Group’s expertise in sensors, communications, AI, and mission systems to deliver integrated protection against a broad spectrum of drone threats.
