  KENNY CHEE & JAMIE KOH
  ONBOARD RSS STEADFAST
  IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA
  IT WAS a day of quick manoeuvres
  and intense firing
  on the rough waters of the
  South China Sea, as the Republic
  of Singapore Navy (RSN) conducted
  its first fleet exercise of
  the year yesterday.
  This was also the first time
  that all six of the Navy’s stealth
  frigates are taking part in an exercise.
  The warships became operational
  last month.
  The two-day exercise saw the
  third-generation RSN reacting
  nimbly to aerial and naval
  threats, thanks to advanced technology
  and months of training
  and preparation.
  The action started off with
  the test firing of the anti-air
  weapon systems on board the
  Navy’s frigates and missile corvettes
  early yesterday afternoon.
  The ships had to “search and
  destroy” hostile aircraft in a simulated
  attack by F-16 and F-5
  fighter jets from the Republic of
  Singapore Air Force.
  The briny sea air later thundered
  with the salvos of
  76mm-calibre guns of the Navy’s
  warships, as they took out
  floating enemy targets in a simulated
  sea battle.
  Nearly 800 personnel are involved
  in the fleet exercise, including
  sailors manning a Challenger-
  class submarine.
  It is the first time the Defence
  Ministry has allowed the
  Singaporemedia to observe a naval
  exercise in its entirety.

  Hey Mr noisylion,

  As i have mentioned 1001 times since your registration into this forum years back. You need to change the way you post your threads. Its just so retardedly messy and disorientating. You are suppose to accommodate to your readers not to yourself bro

  I think needless to say the UAV mentioned was a VTOL type.  Possibly firescout... Batman's UAV a bit unlikely.

  u are partly right.

  
  

   -Today ST hard copy '' UAV--The Human factor is supreme'' by William Choong

  says Scan Eagle has been launched from frigate during the frigate fleet

  ex and Endurance is 20 hours.

  well,it is a small matter for other big countries.

  ''Boeing Insitu ScanEagle UAS Completes Sea Trials With Singapore Navy

  SINGAPORE, March 02, 2009 -- ScanEagle, a long-endurance, fully autonomous unmanned aircraft system (UAS) developed by The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] and subsidiary Insitu, today successfully completed a ship-based trial with the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN).

  The trial included both an RSN LST (Landing Ship, Tank) and a frigate. ScanEagle was launched and recovered from the ships' helicopter decks, flying day missions using an electro-optical camera payload and night missions using an infrared camera payload.

  During the flights, the ScanEagle UAS successfully demonstrated sea-based launch and recovery capabilities and the ease with which the physical ground support equipment and control hardware can be integrated onboard. All tactical objectives and operational scenarios set for the flights were achieved.

  "ScanEagle performed exceptionally well during the trials and proved it has the potential to be an asset for building the RSN's organic ship-based unmanned aerial vehicle capability," said Andrew Duggan, ScanEagle program manager for Boeing Defence Australia. "The ScanEagle UAS adds another dimension to persistent situational awareness for the ship's crew and generates actionable intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance information."

  Boeing Defence Australia provided a complete maritime ScanEagle system for the trial, including a ground control station, communication links, launcher and SkyHook recovery system. A Boeing Insitu team deployed to Singapore for the entire trial.

  The ScanEagle UAS has operated from a variety of maritime platforms, most notably U.S. Navy ships since 2005, achieving 1,500 launches and recoveries. It has also operated from a UK Royal Navy Type 23 frigate and from commercial vessels.

  Boeing Defence Australia began operating ScanEagle in December 2006. Since then, it has surpassed 16,000 flight hours supporting Australian Land Forces overseas as well as delivering in-country operator and field maintainer training.''

  ''A ScanEagle is recovered at sea aboard the destroyer USS Oscar Austin''

  ''ScanEagle carries an inertially stabilized electro-optical and/or infrared camera on a light-weight inertially stabilized turret system integrated with communications range over 100 km, and flight endurance of 20+ hours. ScanEagle has a 10-foot (3 m) wingspan and can fly up to 75 knots (139 km/h). Block D aircraft featured a higher resolution camera, a custom-designed Mode C transponder and a new video system. A Block D aircraft, flying at Boeing's test range in Boardman, Oregon set a type endurance record of 22 hours, 8 minutes.^[1]''
