Frequently used in reconnaissanceand swift deploymentmissions, it literally “flies” on crosscountryterrain at top speeds. Itsconfigurable roll-cage design makes itmodifiable for various missions;while its ability to negotiate steepslopes makes it ideal in providingclose fire support for infantry troops.GPRS General Packet Radio Switchtechnology allows data to be sent/received across a mobile telephonenetwork at up to 115 kbps, fourtimes faster than the current speed.Labelled the third-generation (3G)mobile technology, it will enable aconvergence of voice, data and videoto be sent/received instantly and costeffectively. GPRS is an enhancementto the GSM standard but with betterdata transfer rates.HUSH-KIT Refers to a muffler ornoise reduction kit fitted onto an aircraftengine to reduce noise so theydo not exceed regulatory levels specifiedby airports.

It reflectsour fundamental values ofreliability, of dependenceupon tried and tested methodsand techniques.The 1999 cover showstwo hands gently cradling aglobe.The year’s theme was“Nurturing a World-ClassEnterprise.” We are ambitiousto become greaterthan what we already are,and yet recognising that weare at a stage of developmentwhere we still have tofully establish our internationalstanding.The annual report for 2000, is thereport of a Group that is confidentof its world-class status. vision is atitle that can be interpreted on differentlevels. As a desirable quality,vision embodies imagination andforesight. It also implies having aview of what the future could be,a sense of where we are going andhow we will get there.1997 19981999 2000Who can spot a bright idea a mile away?When it comes to bright ideas, one recent engineering breakthrough shines out. The blue LED, 100% brighterand 75% more energy efficient than an ordinary Edison lightbulb, has been achieved after eluding engineersfor more than 40 years. It is engineering feats like these that inspire <strong>Singapore</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong> <strong>Engineering</strong>to take engineering further.For example, ST Engg’s aerospace capabilities have soared to great heights – our F-5 Tiger upgrades areacknowledged as the most advanced in the world. In the field of electronics, we have provided solutionsfor the commercial, defence and industrial sectors with core businesses in multiple systems.Meanwhile, our land systems arm has achieved technological sophistication with the launch of Bionix,<strong>Singapore</strong>’s first locally designed and manufactured Infantry Fighting Vehicle. Our marine sector offersproven turnkey solutions and total project management, including the design and construction of PatrolVessels and Landing Ship Tanks.With our combined experience and resources, ST Engg is a one stop provider of engineering solutions,from turnkey projects to customised upgrades.www.stengg.comWe can.228 • visionWe take <strong>Engineering</strong> further
