	Micro-UAV DSO has developed a micro-Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) designed to be a low-cost platform that retains and even exceeds the capabilities of existing UAVs of its class Unlike larger UAVs that require high build-up and maintenance costs, DSO's Micro-UAV's highly effective, yet low-cost qualities, make it well suited for training and operations, especially when conditions for the retrieval of the craft is unfavourable.
	Solar Cell and Fuel Cell Augmented Powered UAV Integrating solar cells, which are often fragile and brittle, onto existing UAV platforms can be a challenge. However, with a proper design and careful integration process, DSO has developed a Fuel Cell and Solar Cell Power Augmented UAV, which can capture maximum solar energy to augment the UAV's power source and extend its endurance. The AUV also comprises an intelligent power management system to ensure undisrupted power management.

Land
	Prototype Crew-Class UGV Terrain conditions such as off-road tracks and sand can be a driving challenge for Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) and for soldiers, affecting accurate sensing and interpretation of its immediate surroundings to make appropriate mission plans and decisions. To enhance the operational effectiveness of soldiers on the battlefield, DSO has developed a prototype crew-class UGV, capable of autonomously travelling at a speed of up to 25 kilometres per hour over undulating terrain.
	Hand Thrown Robots The development of Hand Thrown Robots stemmed from a study to explore the production of stealth-class robots - small and stealthy light-weight robots that are deployable for surgical close-in surveillance or suicide missions in an urban environment. The Hand Thrown Robot carries a pan-tilt-zoom camera and can survive drops of up to 6 metres. It also allows the soldier to throw the robot into windows or openings and provides a real-time video of the interior to the soldier.
	Autonomous Robotic System To meet the Singapore Armed Force’s needs for battlefield intelligence in urban operations, DSO has developed a prototype sensor system that allows a robot to navigate waypoints and avoid obstacles, such as walls and barriers, autonomously. With the system, the robot is able to gather initial information in a more flexible and effective manner, without risking human life in an unknown environment. Multiple robots can also be programmed to co-operate with each other, making them suitable for a wide variety of missions - from chem-bio and radiological defence, to search and rescue operations.

Sea

Meredith AUV
With the aim of supporting mine countermeasure operations to protect Singapore’s sea lanes, DSO has developed the Meredith Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) – a versatile and robust AUV that is able to adapt to diversified payload requirements for different operations.

Equipped with an intelligent sensing and communications system, the Meredith AUV is also able to adapt to the unique characteristics of Singapore’s waters.
