Room to work on robotics and AI in new DSO Complex

In the face of a decline in manpower, the role of technology in defence is more important than ever, said Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen yesterday.

He was speaking at the launch of DSO Complex, the new headquarters of defence research organisation DSO National Laboratories.

With a total floor area of 69,000 sq m across two eight-storey buildings, the complex in Science Park Drive houses more than 1,000 staff working across 200 laboratories and offices, said DSO. It leases the premises from Ascendas Land. In December, Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust announced that it would acquire the two buildings which currently make up the DSO complex - together with the neighbouring seven-storey DNV GL Tech Centre - from Ascendas Land for $420 million.
