==History== ST Engineering's history stemmed from the foundations of the Singapore defence industry, with the earliest roots being the Chartered Industries of Singapore in 1967. Its origins are linked to several defence-related companies that later became its operational divisions. These notable companies were held under Sheng-Li Holding Company Private Limited ({{lang-zh|s=胜利控股公司|t=勝利控股公司|p=Shènglì kònggǔ gōngsī|w=Shêng-lì K'òng-kǔ K'ung-sī|c=|first=t}}), which was formed on 3 January 1974 to serve as the holding entity for eight defence-related companies of significant interest to [[Ministry of Defence (Singapore)|Ministry of Defence (MINDEF)]] through a share exchange with the [[Ministry of Finance (Singapore)|Minister for Finance (Incorporated)]].<ref name=":3">{{Cite book |last=Cheong |first=Colin |url=https://www.stengg.com/getmedia/12639d17-046f-4479-a4bc-2d192d6e1b49/40th-anniversary-i-under-one-sun?ext=.pdf |title=Under one sun |publisher=SNP International Publishing |year=2007 |isbn=978-981-248-168-9 |location=Singapore |publication-date=2007 |pages=19–63, 131–133}}</ref><ref name=":18">{{Cite journal |date=2025-01-08 |title=2024國防科技趨勢評估報告 |url=https://indsr.org.tw/uploads/indsr/files/202501/2a7b5769-0b86-4f91-9bfe-681b23ab640e.pdf |journal=財團法人國防安全研究院 |pages=111–140}}</ref> The name was a direct phonic adaption of the Chinese word "胜利" ({{lang-zh|s=胜利|t=勝利|p=Shènglì|w=Shêng-lì|c=|first=t}}), which translates as "victory".<ref name=":8">{{Cite book |url=https://www.stengg.com/getmedia/47e77ce2-28c9-43dc-8d60-ca0372bb17b9/30th-anniversary-towards-tomorrow?ext=.pdf |title=Towards tomorrow: The Singapore Technologies story |publisher=Singapore Technologies |year=1997 |location=Singapore |pages=176, 178–179, 236}}</ref>
The Singapore Technology Corporation (STC), established in 1983, briefly served as a holding company to consolidate the manufacturing and service capabilities of the ordnance-related companies, with the exception of [[Bofors]]-linked joint venture Allied Ordnance Company of Singapore (AOS), which later became a subsidiary of CIS in 1988.<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":8" /> Sheng-Li Holding Company was later succeeded as the '''Singapore Technologies Holdings''' (SingTech, or ST) on 11 May 1990, through a series of restructure and re-consolidation following the introduction of its new corporate identity and sunburst logo in 1989.<ref name=":22">{{Cite news |last=Chew |first=Sim Wai |date=1994-12-29 |title=Name change for Sing Technologies units |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19941229-1.2.47.14 |access-date=2025-09-03 |work=[[The Straits Times]] |pages=32}}</ref><ref name=":19">{{Cite news |last=Menon |first=Jayaram |date=1989-04-04 |title=New corporate image planned for Sheng-Li |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/biztimes19890404-1.2.6 |access-date=2025-09-03 |work=[[The Business Times (Singapore)|The Business Times]] |pages=1}}</ref><ref name=":20">{{Cite news |last=Tsang |first=Jeffrey |date=1989-04-20 |title=Sheng-Li restructured and given new corporate identity |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/biztimes19890420-1.2.42.16 |access-date=2025-09-03 |work=[[The Business Times (Singapore)|The Business Times]] |pages=22}}</ref>
The following companies were instrumental in the foundation of ST Engineering.
=== Chartered Industries of Singapore (CIS) === The Chartered Industries of Singapore (CIS) was established in 1967 as a munitions manufacturer to address the defense equipment needs of Singapore following [[Independence of Singapore Agreement 1965|its independence]]. The company's first facility, located in [[Jurong]], began operations as an ammunition plant. Parts of this facility later became the [[Singapore Mint]]. Initially, CIS produced 5.56mm caliber ammunition for the [[Singapore Armed Forces]] (SAF), while simultaneously minting [[Singapore dollar#Marine series 1967|circulation coins]] for the [[Monetary Authority of Singapore|Board of Commissioners of Currency of Singapore]] (BCCS). Both operations shared a workshop that supported both military and civilian markets.<ref name=":21">{{Cite book |last1=Kuah |first1=Adrian |last2=Wee |first2=Jin |url=https://www.stengg.com/getmedia/3bb0a54f-6cc2-4e2c-a406-062a103e9791/40th-anniversary-ii-unchartered-territory.pdf |title=UnChartered Territory - DR GOH KENG SWEE AND THE ST ENGINEERING STORY |publisher=SNP International Publishing |year=2007 |isbn=978-981-248-169-6 |location=Singapore |pages=15}}</ref>
In its early years, CIS focused on licensed manufacturing and subcontracted work for foreign ordnance producers. During this period, the company's engineers and technicians gained experience in development and production of munitions across various calibers.<ref name=":3" />
By 1996, CIS, through its subsidiaries, had expanded its operations to produce various types of ordnance for the SAF and international export. Its subsidiaries included:
* ''Chartered Ammunition Industries (CAI)'', which produced small, medium, and large caliber ammunition, explosives, pyrotechnics, and anti-tank weapons.<ref name=":3" /> * ''Ordnance Development Engineering (ODE)'', incorporated in 1973 with the objective to achieve indigenous design and manufacture medium to large caliber weapon systems, including mortars, cannons (such as the [[FH-88|FH88]] and [[FH-2000|FH2000]]).<ref name=":3" /> * ''Chartered Firearms Industries (CFI)'', which manufactured infantry and crew-served weapons, including the SR88A assault rifle, Ultimax 100 light machine gun, 7.62mm General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG), 40mm grenade launchers, and the 40/50 Cupola Weapon System.<ref name=":3" /> * ''Allied Ordnance of Singapore (AOS)'', which provided [[Short range air defense|short-range air defense systems]], including the 40mm L70 air defense gun and associated missile and optronic fire control systems.<ref name=":3" />
In 1973, CIS formed ''Allied Ordnance of Singapore (AOS)'' in partnership with Sweden's [[Bofors]] to manufacture quick-firing anti-aircraft (40mm) and naval (57mm) guns, along with their ammunition and fuzes. After Bofors withdrew from the venture in 1988, AOS became a wholly owned subsidiary of CIS.<ref name=":3" />
=== Singapore Automotive Engineering (SAE, later ST Automotive) === Singapore Automotive Engineering (SAE) was incorporated in 1971 in one of the SAF's vehicle maintenance base at [[One-north|Ayer Rajah]], to support automotive-related services for the SAF. Its first immediate task was to service and maintain a fleet of [[Cadillac Gage Commando|V200]] Armoured Personnel Carriers, as well as the repair and overhaul of the fleet of [[Bedford Vehicles|Bedford]] trucks inherited from the British military forces in 1972.<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":23">{{Cite web |title=Refer to Year 1970 |url=http://www.tdsi.nus.edu.sg/Downloads/Staff/MB_LPC.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071230234028/http://www.tdsi.nus.edu.sg/Downloads/Staff/MB_LPC.html |archive-date=30 December 2007 |access-date=3 January 2008 |publisher=[[National University of Singapore|NUS]]}}</ref>
By 1982, SAE expanded into the commercial sector, including establishing the SAE Inspection Centre to provide vehicle servicing for military and civilian clients.<ref name="FAS">{{Cite web |title=FH2000 |url=http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/row/fh2000.htm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061015012456/http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/row/fh2000.htm |archive-date=15 October 2006 |access-date=7 January 2008 |publisher=Federation of American Scientists}}</ref> In 1983, the company established Singapore Commuter, a taxi service operator.

=== Singapore Electronic & Engineering Limited (SEEL, later ST Electronics & Engineering) === Singapore Electronic & Engineering Limited (SEEL) was established in 1969, following the withdrawal of the [[Royal Navy|British Royal Navy]] from Singapore and the acquisition of Her Majesty's Sembawang Dockyards by [[Swan Hunter]]. SEEL took control of assets and electronics workshops previously operated by the Royal Navy and inherited staff, including weapons maintenance personnel and seconded civilians.. The workshops were initially managed by Philips Australia.<ref name=":3" />
SEEL continued to provide maintenance services for the Royal Navy Fleet and, subsequently, for United States military forces deployed in Vietnam, as well as the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF). To adapt to the reduced demand following the Royal Navy's departure and the slow uptake of US Navy contracts, SEEL established an aviation electronics service wing alongside its general engineering operations. This expanded its client base to include private, charter, and military operators.. Despite this expansion, SEEL struggled to generate significant profits during its early years.<ref name=":3" />
By 1974, financial difficulties led to staff retrenchments and the sale of some assets. In an effort to remain viable, SEEL briefly diversified into the distribution and maintenance of commercial electronic products, laying the groundwork for its future system integration capabilities. A Systems Division was subsequently established within the Engineering Department, along with an Aircraft Electrical Overhaul Shop at Seletar Air Base.
By 1977, SEEL had returned to profitability. SEEL was placed under the Singapore Aircraft Industries (SAI) in 1980 prior to its listing in July 1991, for its involvement aviation-related businesses.<ref name=":3" /><ref>{{Cite news |last=Lim |first=Carolyn |date=1990-07-15 |title=SEEL expected to launch offer of over 20m shares today |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/biztimes19910715-1.2.13.4 |access-date=2025-09-05 |work=The Business Times |pages=3}}</ref>
SEEL ventured into commercial ventures beginning from the 1970s. In September 1978, SEEL won the contract to do the Building Automation System for [[Changi Airport|Changi International Airport Terminal 1]] with ITT Regelungstechnik, a West German subsidiary of US company [[ITT Inc.|ITT]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=1990-07-17 |title=SEEL launches intelligent building control system |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/biztimes19900717-1.2.36.3 |access-date=2025-09-05 |work=The Business Times |pages=13}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=1978-09-16 |title=Keeping heads cool at new Changi airport |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/biztimes19780916-1.2.57 |access-date=2025-09-05 |work=The Business Times |pages=12}}</ref> In 1982, it secured the contract through a Singapore-German joint venture Systems Union Pte Ltd, to supply new control and automation systems for the second 3.35 km runway of Changi International Airport.<ref>{{Cite news |date=1982-08-18 |title=New company to provide control system for runway |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/biztimes19820818-1.2.5 |access-date=2025-09-05 |work=The Business Times |pages=1}}</ref> It went on to secure contracts for integrated communication and control systems for local and overseas metro projects, including the [[Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore)|Singapore MRT]] in 1992 and the [[Taipei Metro]] in 1993.<ref>{{Cite news |date=1993-03-03 |title=Seel bags $30m telecom contract for Taipei MRT line |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19930303-1.2.58.4 |access-date=2025-09-05 |work=[[The Straits Times]] |pages=40}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=1992-05-30 |title=Seel-led consortium clinches MRT deal |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19920530-1.2.61.46 |access-date=2025-09-05 |work=[[The Straits Times]] |pages=47}}</ref>
In the defence industry, SEEL was awarded contracts by MINDEF for the outsourced operations of the Electronic Supply and Maintenance Base in 1981 and the Central Missile Supply Base in 1983.<ref name=":3" />

In 1986, a joint venture, Singapore Engineering Software (SES), was established between SEEL and the Swedish company Ericsson Radio Systems AB. The purpose of the venture was to enhance engineering capabilities, particularly in software development for real-time command and control. Over time, it was expected to provide SEEL with access to Ericsson's global market reach.<ref name=":3" />
On 29 December 1994, Singapore Electronic & Engineering Limited was renamed Singapore Technologies Electronics & Engineering Ltd (or ST Electronics & Engineering, or ST E&E), along with announced name changes of the other three main subsidiaries under the Singapore Technologies group.<ref name=":22" />
=== Singapore Shipbuilding and Engineering (SSE, later ST Shipbuilding & Engineering) === Singapore Shipbuilding & Engineering (SSE) was established in May 1968 as a private company with the Singaporean government holding a minority stake. Initially, SSE focused on constructing vessels for the [[Republic of Singapore Navy]] (RSN) as well as commercial operators.<ref name=":3" />
In its early years, the company faced financial difficulties. Although the RSN had ordered several logistics vessels, funding priorities shifted towards the expansion of the [[Republic of Singapore Air Force|Singapore Air Defence Command]], and the RSN had no further significant work for SSE. This led to a decline in business, compounded by ongoing management-labor issues. By 1978, SSE experienced a significant setback after underbidding a contract for a series of 10 cargo container vessels for a consortium of European owners. As a result, the company faced the possibility of loan defaults.<ref name=":3" />
To avert collapse, Sheng-Li Group, a company within the same corporate group, injected fresh capital into SSE. During this period, key personnel from the RSN, joined SSE to lead the company through its turnaround. The company recovered within a year following restructuring.<ref name=":3" />
Following the restructuring, SSE began to focus more aggressively on the commercial market, offering vessel designs for commercial clients. The company invested in building a skilled team of engineers and introduced a variable bonus scheme. By 1981, SSE secured a major contract to build three 120-meter cargo container vessels for Hellenic Lines, a Greek shipping company.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Chee |first=Linda |date=1980-09-26 |title=SSE wins order for three vessels from Hellenic |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/biztimes19800926-1.2.54.2 |access-date=2025-09-06 |work=The Business Times |pages=13}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=1980-09-26 |title=Yard wins $70m order for three container ships |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19800926-1.2.87 |access-date=2025-09-06 |work=[[The Straits Times]] |pages=13}}</ref> The vessels were delivered ahead of schedule.<ref name=":3" /><ref>{{Cite news |last=Goh |first=Eng Kee |date=1981-12-19 |title=Greek line's plan to increase fleet |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/biztimes19811219-1.2.14.4 |access-date=2025-09-06 |work=The Business Times |pages=3}}</ref>

==== 120 mm Super Rapid Advanced Mortar System (SRAMS) ==== The 120SRAMS is developed specifically for rapid and close range requirements of the battlefield. The semi-automatic Ammunition Transfer System and the patented Valve System in the breech mechanism provides an effective vent for the trapped air to let the bomb "free-fall" into the barrel. This reduces the projectile's in-bore travel and reportedly allows the 120SRAM to achieve the highest continuous firing rate of up to 18 rounds per minute—3 times faster than a conventional [[Mortar (weapon)|mortar]] system which can fire up to 6 rounds per minute.<ref name="120SRAM">{{Cite web |date=12 September 2001 |title=ST Kinetics unveil 120mm SRAMS and 40mm SLWAGL at DSEi |url=http://defence-data.com/dsei/pageds1019.htm |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080202041757/http://defence-data.com/dsei/pageds1019.htm |archive-date=2 February 2008 |access-date=6 September 2007 |publisher=Defence Systems Daily}}</ref> Recent product information has indicated the firing rate at a more modest 10 rounds per minute.<ref>{{Cite web |title=120SRAM Product Brochure |url=http://www.stengg.com/upload/620JKKP6Y94P4nl3aZf.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110717020329/http://www.stengg.com/upload/620JKKP6Y94P4nl3aZf.pdf |archive-date=17 July 2011 |publisher=ST Engineering |df=dmy-all}}</ref> The patented Cooling System is able to reduce the temperature that builds up in the barrel quickly to enable continuous firing without blockage. The patented Blast Diffuser reduces the blast overpressure by about 8 to 10 decibels. The 120SRAM is also currently the only system in the world with a recoil of less than 20 tonnes, which allows the 120SRAM to be mounted on board a 4×4 wheeled vehicle. The 120SRAM has a navigation and positioning system, power gun drives and integrated with an automatic fire control system, which require just a 3-person crew to operate the weapon.<ref name="120SRAM" />
