ST Engineering made multiple announcements at the recently concluded Singapore Airshow 2026, including the unveiling of the AirFish, a hovercraft-like vessel that skims over water and is set to start taking passengers from Singapore to Batam from the second half of 2026.
It also announced that it will design and develop new satellites in Singapore and debuted its largest cargo drone.
In addition, ST Engineering inked a pact with Shield AI at the show to integrate the defence technology company’s “Hivemind” autonomy software into its drone platforms.
The collaboration aims to enable ST Engineering’s drones to operate autonomously in GPS-denied environments, where traditional communications are jammed or unavailable.
