In this issue
With the emergence of highly disruptive technologies alongside the geostrategic shifts occurring in the last few years, the author feels that the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) will have to change the way it functions to stay ahead of the curve. He adds that the SAF will have to adopt a forward-thinking approach and be ready for technological innovations that can potentially enhance our operations, or even transform the basis of how we work. With the ever changing global landscape, regional stability is bound to be affected, alongside the increasingly uncertainty of the future. The author highlights that it is therefore crucial that the SAF recognises emerging strategic trends, as well as changes and prepare for the uncertainties. In this essay, the author examines two contrasting disciplines—Big Data and Systems Thinking—and considers how the SAF stands to gain in many areas by adopting a Systems Thinking approach to harnessing Big Data.
