In the war against obsolescence, the mindset and development processes employed by the defence sector have to change to stay ahead of the latest innovations in technology, said a United States defence official.
Speaking on Thursday (Oct 14) at the third Singapore Defence Technology Summit, US Department of Defence chief technology officer Heidi Shyu said the “very long and very risk-averse process” that defence systems have to go through now has to shift.
Systems being used now are continuously under development and tests, added Ms Shyu, who joined the conference at the Shangri-La hotel live from Washington via hologram technology.
