DSTA Chooses Oracle Cloud for Singapore's Defence Needs

The Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) has partnered with Oracle to implement an Oracle Cloud Isolated Region for Singapore's Ministry of Defence and Armed Forces.

Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) has signed a contract with Oracle to establish an Oracle Cloud Isolated Region for Singapore's Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) and the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF). Announced in a press release, this collaboration aims to provide high-performance, air-gapped, and secure cloud computing, data management, and AI services.

The Oracle Cloud Isolated Region will enhance the SAF's Command, Control, Communications, and Computers (C4) functions by offering a scalable and secure environment. This setup is completely disconnected from the internet, ensuring a sovereign and resilient infrastructure for mission-critical applications.

The agreement allows the Digital and Intelligence Service to leverage Oracle's air-gapped cloud services to accelerate AI deployment for SAF missions. This initiative is part of a broader effort to modernize digital capabilities and improve decision-making processes within Singapore's defence sector.
