Defence research and development (R&D) is at the heart of what we do at DSO. As Singapore’s largest national defence R&D organisation, DSO is entrusted with the critical mission of developing technological surprises to enhance Singapore’s defence capabilities. From research to systems development, our defence engineers and scientists push the boundaries to develop game changing technologies and solutions that are not available in the market, or not available to Singapore.

DSO also invest and explore emerging technologies to ensure the nation’s defence and national security capabilities are future-ready. With more than 50 research areas across the domains of air, land, sea, space and cyberspace, DSO shapes the future of defence with our imagination and dare-to-do spirit in the relentless pursuit of the next big idea.
