The Singapore Police Force (SPF) is conducting trials for innovative technologies, including a jetpack and a weaponised drone, to provide its officers with a tactical advantage in hostile situations. The jetpack, created by British company Gravity Industries, weighs 35kg each and can reach a top speed of 137kmh. The drone, called the weaponised unmanned systems (WUS), is equipped with weapons and can be used to protect officers approaching a hostile vessel or to breach entry points in a building. The SPF aims to deploy these technologies in special operations where risks are heightened due to terrain limitations or the tactics used by adversaries. The use of these innovations is governed by strict legal principles, clear rules of engagement, and robust safeguards to ensure safety and appropriateness.
