SINGAPORE - A new heavily fortified vehicle able to shield police officers from bullets while they counter armed threats will be added to the Special Operations Command fleet.
He said: “It is able to swiftly punch through the heart of the public security incident to neutralise the threat. Other features include a public announcement system, flood lights and sensemaking cameras.” SOC officers, using the new Tactical Strike Vehicle as a shield in the ensuing shootout, were able to breach the building to neutralise the threat.
At the seminar held at the Singapore Expo, police also introduced their counter drone system, which was put into operation earlier in 2023. When a drone is detected, officers use the sensor to locate and track it, while simultaneously deploying officers on the ground to stop the drone’s flight by finding the drone pilot.If necessary, officers equipped with the jammer gun can use it to disrupt the drone’s control signal and bring it down, before retrieving it for investigations.
