The Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) is putting in place a state of the art multi-layered air defence system to provide a comprehensive shield to protect Singapore against airborne threats.

It will soon acquire a new surface-to-air missile system called the ASTER-30. This missile defence system is used by advanced militaries such as France and Italy.

The ASTER 30 capability is many times more potent than the current I-hawk ground based air defence system. It will allow the RSAF to engage multiple threats simultaneously and from a longer distance.

In addition, the RSAF will be upgrading its fighter fleet.
