The Defence Science and Technology Agency of Singapore has teamed up with Oracle to deploy Oracle Cloud Isolated Region for the Ministry of Defence and the Singapore Armed Forces. The facility will breed high-performance air-gapped cloud computing infrastructure to improve national security operations, facilitate Artificial Intelligence joining, and modernize mission-critical defense applications.
This partnership aims at taking advantage of advanced cloud and AI technologies in the digitalization and transformation of the business; thereby announcing Singapore's commitment to taking advancement in technologies for national defense purposes.
Oracle Cloud Isolated Region has been designed as a secure and isolated cloud infrastructure meant for the custody of sensitive data against AI-driven defense programs of MINDEF and SAF with air-gapped security, AI and data management, scalability, and resilience. With the solution, the Digital and Intelligence Service can analyze real-time data, thus enhancing threat detection and improving decision-making. The Hyperscale infrastructure of Oracle allows SAF to put in a high-speed performance while processing large volumes of defense-related data. The integration of AI in MINDEF's digital architecture will allow the defense industry in Singapore to automate and optimize its operations, including logistics management and cybersecurity monitoring.
With rapid transitions undergone by the militaries toward the digital transformation strategy, cloud computing is essential for all defense operations. Oracle Cloud Isolated Region will enhance the modernization of its infrastructures, facilitate collaboration across agencies, and enable real-time intelligence and C4ISR. It offers more than 150 services, all of which are backed by one of the largest companies in cloud computing, Oracle. Some of these services include AI, cybersecurity, analytics, and database management. Alongside these services, Oracle has partnered with Singapore's DSTA in tightening the cybersecurity measures and defense operations further.
The Ministry of Defence of Singapore (DSTA) announced its partnership with Oracle in the strengthening of an integrated digital defense strategy. The partnership integrates AI, cloud computing, and data analytics to improve national defense capabilities. The Oracle Cloud Isolated Region deployment will provide real-time analytics, AI-driven processing capabilities, and mission-critical computing to MINDEF and SAF, placing Singapore right at the edge of transformation in digital defense.
