Commissioning of SAF's New
Float Bridge and CBRE Defence Capabilities |
|
|
Minister for Defence Teo Chee Hean,
commissioned the SAF's new generation float bridge and Chemical,
Biological, Radiological and Explosives (CBRE) Defence capability at
Marina Bay this evening (24 Apr 2007). |
|
The commissioning ceremony was part of the
commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the Singapore Combat Engineers. |
|
The M3G Float Bridge replaces ageing
bridging equipment and significantly enhances the Singapore Army's
ability to cross waterways. |
|
Besides providing greater mobility and for
faster deployment, the new bridging equipment also offers improved
carrying capacity and requires less people to operate. |
|
The commissioning of the CBRE Defence
Capability, coupled with the launch of the GR 660 Radiation Surveillance
System, marks a major milestone in the CBRE Defence Group's ability to
respond to the full spectrum of chemical, biological, radiological and
explosives threats to homeland security. |
|
The M3G Float Bridge and CBRE defence
capabilities are another step forward in the Singapore Combat Engineers'
transformation journey as part of the 3rd Generation SAF. |
|
The venue of the commissioning event is
significant as the Singapore Combat Engineers was part of the creative
team that mooted the idea of the floating platform as a venue for mass
spectator events, in view of the closure of the National Stadium to make
way for the new Kallang Sports Hub. |
