Singapore and Bruneian Navies Conduct Bilateral Exercise Singapore and Bruneian Navies Conduct Bilateral Exercise 11 Mar 2013 Commanding Officer (CO) of 188 Squadron Colonel Alan Goh (right) and CO of KDB Darulehsan Lieutenant Colonel Shamsul Bahren Bin HJ Taweh exchanging handshakes after the opening ceremony. The Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) and the Royal Brunei Navy (RBN) are conducting a bilateral naval exercise, codenamed Exercise Pelican, from 11 to 15 March 2013. Hosted by the RSN, this year's exercise marks the 32nd in the series. The command teams from RSN's Formidable-class stealth frigate (RSS Tenacious) and missile corvette (RSS Valour), as well as RBN's Darussalam-class patrol vessel (KDB Darulehsan) and Ijhtihad-class fast patrol boat (KDB Afiat), will be involved in this year's exercise. During the exercise, the two navies will be conducting a series of tactical discussions and simulation exercises in naval warfare such as anti-surface, anti- submarine, anti-air and maritime air operations. Exercise Pelican underscores the strong and long-standing defence ties between Singapore and Brunei. During the opening ceremony, Commanding Officer of 188 Squadron Colonel Alan Goh pointed out that since its introduction in 1979, "Exercise Pelican has remained the mainstay of the professional interactions between both navies. Not only has the exercise strengthened theoverall defence relationship between Brunei and Singapore, it has also significantly enhanced the level of interoperability between both navies." Besides Exercise Pelican, the two navies also interact regularly through visits, professional exchanges and cross-attendance of courses. These interactions have enhanced the mutual understanding and camaraderie between the personnel of the two navies.

  • Singapore Defence Minister Visits 40Th Anniversary of Bilateral Exercise Pelican
    Singapore Defence Minister Visits 40th Anniversary of Bilateral Exercise Pelican 06 Nov 2019 Minister for Defence Dr Ng Eng Hen (fourth from right) and Brunei Minister of Defence II Pehin Datu Lailaraja Major-General (MG) (Rtd) Dato Paduka Seri Haji Awang Halbi bin Haji Md Yussof (fifth from right) on board KDB Darussalam as part of their visit to Exercise Pelican. Minister for Defence Dr Ng Eng Hen visited the bilateral Exercise Pelican conducted by the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) and the Royal Brunei Navy (RBN) earlier today. The exercise, which is in its 40th year, saw the participation of the RSN's Formidable-class 1 frigate RSS Tenacious, Victory-class missile corvettes RSS Valour and RSS Vigour, as well as the RBN's Darussalam-class offshore patrol vessels KDB Darussalam, KDB Darulehsan and KDB Darulaman. Dr Ng, accompanied by Brunei Minister of Defence II Pehin Datu Lailaraja Major-General (MG) (Rtd) Dato Paduka Seri Haji Awang Halbi bin Haji Md Yussof, observed the conduct of a coordinated task group operation by the ships at sea. Dr Ng and Pehin MG(Rtd) Halbi watched the deployment of RSN's ScanEagle Unmanned Aerial Vehicles from RSS Valour and RSS Vigour, which provided tactical surveillance and targeting information for a coordinated engagement on simulated enemy ships. Both Ministers then visited KDB Darussalam to witness a coordinated gun firing and a sail-past of the participating ships from both countries. This year's Exercise Pelican is being conducted from 3 to 7 November 2019 in the waters off Brunei. In addition to the coordinated task group operation witnessed by Dr Ng and Pehin MG(Rtd) Halbi, both navies conducted other serials such as manoeuvring drills and communications exercises.

  • Factsheet - Republic of Singapore Navy's Frigate Program
    Factsheet - Republic of Singapore Navy's Frigate Program 09 May 2006 INTRODUCTION In March 2000, MINDEF signed a contract with Direction des Constructions Navales (DCN) of France for the construction of six frigates for the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN). DCN is a reputable shipyard that designed and built the French Navy's low signature La Fayette-class frigates. Under the technology transfer arrangement, DCN will design and build the first ship while the remaining five will be built locally by Singapore Technologies Marine. The six new frigates will replace the RSN's Missile Gunboats, which have been in service for more than 25 years. SHIP'S CAPABILITIES The new frigates are highly capable warships designed to be stealthy and are equipped with advanced combat systems. They also have greater endurance and are able to stay at sea for longer periods of time. Each frigate is designed to carry a Sikorsky S-70B Naval Helicopter capable of complementing the ship in Anti-surface and Anti-submarine warfare. By leveraging on a high level of automation and enhanced work processes, each frigate will only require a crew of 71. The frigates will be equipped with state-of-the-art combat capabilities allowing them to perform a wide spectrum of missions and to deal with various threats in all dimensions of naval warfare - surface, air and underwater. These systems include the Thales Herakles Multi-function Radar (MFR), the MBDA Aster SAM System, the EDO Active Low Frequency Towed Sonar (ALOFTS) system, the Eurotorp A244S torpedo and the Boeing Harpoon missile system. Command and control of the various sensor and weapon systems onboard each frigate is achieved via an indigenously developed Combat Management System (CMS).
