The vehicles will be progressively delivered from 2028 and will be based on the Terrex s5, the latest 8×8 armoured fighting platform in the company’s Terrex family. The Terrex s5 is designed around five core pillars: Smartness, Superiority, Sustainability, Survivability and Serviceability.
Built on the proven Terrex lineage, the platform features digitalised systems to enhance situational awareness, a cyber-secure Generic Vehicle Architecture and advanced vehicle electronics with enhanced firepower. ST Engineering will also partner the Ministry of Defence and the Defence Science and Technology Agency to integrate additional capabilities into the vehicles.
Lim Kok Ann, President of Land Systems at ST Engineering, said: “MINDEF’s selection of the Terrex s5 as its next generation IFV reaffirms our ability in designing and building advanced armoured mobility platforms.” He added: “As we continue to innovate and address the evolving needs of the modern armed forces, the Terrex s5 will strengthen our portfolio of integrated defence offerings for nations seeking proven and robust solutions to expand their national defence capabilities.”
