Rolls-Royce signs collaborative agreement with DSTA to explore digital and sustainable technologies

Rolls-Royce has signed a collaborative agreement with the Defence Science and Technology Agency in Singapore to explore sustainable solutions and digital technologies.

The Memorandum of Understanding was signed at Farnborough International Air Show and will allow each of the parties to work together on application of digital technologies such as data analytics, predictive maintenance across the Defence domain and the usage of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) across aircraft platforms operated by the Ministry of Defence of Singapore.

This collaboration with the DSTA is an exciting opportunity for us to work with our customers in Singapore to develop leading digital technologies that will help us meet evolving requirements and stay ahead of new challenges. One such challenge is enabling our customers to meet their sustainability goals, and I am pleased that this partnership will also explore how we can explore the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels to achieve that.

Senior Vice President Abhishek Singh at Rolls-Royce Defence

Rolls-Royce has a longstanding relationship with the DSTA and the Republic of Singapore’s armed forces, helping to power their equipment for more than 50 years. The Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) is an important Rolls-Royce customer. Its C-130 Hercules transport aircrafts are powered by Rolls-Royce T56 turboprop engines and RSAF’s fleet of Gulfstream 550- Airborne Early Warning (G550-AEW) are powered by Rolls-Royce BR710 engines. In August 2018, RSAF’s new fleet of Rolls-Royce-powered Multi-Role Tanker Transport aircraft entered into service.

The company also supports ST Engineering Aerospace, which runs an Authorised Maintenance Centre (AMC) for the Rolls-Royce T56 engine. Rolls-Royce has signed a long term service support agreement for RSAF’s fleet of G550 airborne early warning aircraft.

Rolls-Royce is a proud defence partner in Singapore, working with industry supporting a range of products and services including close relationships with the likes of the Nanyang Technology University and National University Singapore to develop and share innovative ideas and technologies.
