DSO

Established in 1972, DSO National Laboratories (DSO) has evolved from a three-man laboratory into Singapore’s foremost applied R&D organisation with more than 900 research scientists and engineers under its wings.

Guided by our primary focus in defence R&D, we strive to enhance the military capability of Singapore by assimilating new technologies and generating indigenous ones to give the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) the decisive edge on the battlefield.

Our Vision To be a wellspring of technological knowledge, a fountain of innovation and an inspiration to the R&D community in Singapore.

Our Mission To develop technologies and solutions that can provide technological surprises to sharpen the cutting edge of Singapore’s national security.

DSO is a strategic and indispensable national resource and our role as a National Laboratory is multi-faceted. Our research and development activities are steered towards three broad thrusts:

Enhancing the SAF’s operational effectiveness

Creating the critical edge in defence technology

Strengthening Singapore’s national security

A*STAR

A*STAR’s mission : Fostering world-class scientific research and talent for a vibrant knowledge-based Singapore.

Both BMRC and SERC promote, support and oversee the public sector R&D research activities in Singapore. Both Councils fund the A*STAR public research institutes which conduct cutting-edge research in specific niche areas in Science, Engineering and Biomedical Science. The following R&D Capability Diamonds show clearly how the research capabilities of A*STAR Research Institutes strengthen the key industries in Singapore.
