MINDEF and the United States (US) Department of Defense (DoD) signed a Statement of Intent (SOI) regarding Data, Analytics and Artificial Intelligence Cooperation. The SOI was signed by MINDEF’s Deputy Secretary (Technology) BG Yew Chee Leung and US DoD’s Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Officer Dr Radha Iyengar Plumb, and enables both defence establishments to discuss approaches and exchange best practices on leveraging these technologies. The signing of the SOI builds on MINDEF’s and the United States Department of Defense's long-standing defence technology cooperation, where both countries agreed to cooperate in new, advanced and niche areas, and further defence cooperation in existing military, policy, strategic technology, and non-conventional security spheres.
About us
The mission of MINDEF and the Singapore Armed Forces is to enhance Singapore's peace and security through deterrence and diplomacy, and should these fail, to secure a swift and decisive victory over the aggressor. The Defence Executive Officer (DXO) scheme is the non-uniformed career scheme of MINDEF that offers myriad opportunities in various job functions, such as corporate communications, cyber security, data analytics and visualisation, defence policy, finance, HR, psychology, and more. Embodying the same level of commitment towards defence, DXOs work together with their military counterparts to contribute to MINDEF/SAF’s mission and ensure Singapore's security and stability. United by this common cause, our lines of defence complement each other to secure the prosperity and progress of our nation. Discover a different line of defence as a DXO at www.mindef.gov.sg/dxo.
