DSTA chief executive Tan Peng Yam said: “Under this agreement, we will jointly develop an information management tool leveraging data analytics to identify trends and insights on aircraft performance.

“As we broaden our demonstrated commercial digital portfolio and apply them to defence systems operations, many will benefit from data-driven solutions that will increase the overall effectiveness of operation.”

“This signifies our emphasis on tapping digital technologies and working closely with the industry to co-develop new capabilities.”

The new information management tool will enable DSTA and Boeing to analyse flight and maintenance data for the Republic of Singapore Air Force’s (RSAF) F-15 multirole fighter aircraft and AH-64 attack helicopter.

Findings from the joint research programme will be used to develop algorithms for predictive analytics for smarter maintenance and operations of the RSAF aircraft.
