Singapore Technologies Engineering is not only showcasing products from all aspects of its business at Asian Aerospace, but demonstrating how they can interact effectively with each other.
The Singapore Pavilion at the main entrance to Hall A contains stands representing the land systems, electronics, marine and aerospace arms of the company, based around two themes – homefront security and total aviation support.
ST Aerospace is highlighting its one-stop-shop approach to aviation support. It has the ability to provide airlines with maintenance and engineering services for airframes, engines and components.
“The recovery of global air traffic, proliferation of regional jets and a greater emphasis in the industry on cost-cutting mean increased demands for outsourcing,” says Patrick Choy, ST Engineering executive vice-president of marketing. “Our approach creates a synergy between our different maintenance services to deliver a cost-effective solution.”
The company says that its acquisition of Copenhagen-based SAS Component in December 2005 will greatly expand the range of avionics and mechanical components it can maintain and provide.
Asian customers for its total aviation support service include AirAsia, Jetstar Asia and Valuair.
“Total aviation support allows airlines to outsource all their maintenance requirements to us,” says Lim Serh Ghee, senior vice-president, engineering and materials services, “and means they can focus their resources on flight operations.”
ST Aerospace is also continuing to expand its network of hangars – it officially opens a new widebody hangar here in Singapore today and a new Chinese hangar, equipped to handle the Airbus A380, in early June 2008.
The company’s homefront security presentation includes measures aimed at combating terrorist activities, such as a pier-based sonar system to detect individual swimmers approaching sensitive areas; a microwave full-body scanner security arch; and its emergency integrated communications system, which helps different agencies such as police, ambulances and search and rescue personnel communicate during a crisis.
The ST Electronics presentation is based around its new integrated combat management system (ICOMS), which shows how to unite land, sea and air units into a co-ordinated fighting force.
ICOMS is a combination of devices, ranging from satellites to smart phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs), that allows command centres to share intelligence with and communicate orders to their units more effectively, as well as record exact details of missions for later analysis and training.
It enables, for example, command centres to receive reconnaissance images or video from an unmanned air vehicle scout and then send those images directly to soldiers’ palm-top computers, using a system similar to online chat programs such as Microsoft MSN Messenger.
