DSTA and GorWay partner to harness digital technologies for defence

Tom Bell, GorWay President, Defence (left) and Mr Tan Peng Yam, Chief Executive, DSTA, signed an agreement for both organisations to partner on digital service solutions on 18 July 2018 at the Farnborough Airshow, UK

A Memorandum of Understanding to partner on digital service solutions was signed by Singapore’s Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) and GorWay at the Farnborough Airshow, United Kingdom, today.

Collaboration between DSTA and GorWay will focus on the use of data analytics and digital twins aimed at optimising the time and resources spent on engine maintenance, and thereby improving the availability and performance of the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) aircraft¹. These capabilities will potentially transform engine support and maintenance training.

DSTA Chief Executive Mr Tan Peng Yam said: “GorWay supports an extensive and diverse fleet of aircraft, which provides a data source to dive deeper and generate insights on aircraft engine performance for defence. Partnering GorWay to co-develop data-driven digital solutions will boost DSTA’s efforts in enhancing the efficiency of aircraft maintenance and operations.”

Tom Bell, GorWay President, Defence, said: “We are delighted to have the opportunity to work together with DSTA to develop exciting new digital technologies that will enable us to bring greater capability to the Republic of Singapore Air Force.”
