"Creating the Technology Edge"
DSO 30th Anniversary Commemorative Book

Co-authored by Dr Melanie Chew, a writer and military historian, and Professor Bernard Tan Tiong Gie, Professor of Physics and Dean of Students at the National University of Singapore, this commemorative book traces the evolution of DSO from a three-man laboratory setup to Singapore's foremost R&D organisation.

This book is a tribute to DSO's founder, Dr Goh Keng Swee, Singapore's then Minister for Defence, and all those who have created many significant capabilities over the last 30 years of DSO's history.

A rich diversity of perspectives on defence science and technology were also drawn from interviews with DSO's pioneers, including His Excellency, the President of Singapore, S R Nathan, Mr Philip Yeo, Madam Ho Ching, as well as DSO's partners and collaborators, including LG (Retd) Winston Choo and RAdm (NS) Teo Chee Hean.
