HTX (Home Team Science and Technology Agency) and NCS have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at the Milipol TechX Summit 2026, establishing a Continuous Engineering Programme (CEP) framework. This initiative aims to enhance the operational systems of Singapore’s Home Team through long-term capability development.
The CEP framework builds on a five-year Master Agreement signed in July 2025, further strengthening the collaboration between HTX and NCS. The partnership will focus on five key technology areas: robotics, drones and unmanned aircraft, quantum-safe technologies, data architecture, and AI-enabled systems. These efforts are expected to accelerate the delivery of mission-ready capabilities for the Home Team.
Chan Tsan, Chief Executive of HTX, emphasised the importance of strong engineering partnerships in an evolving public safety landscape. “We are always working to empower the Home Team with operationally impactful science and technology capabilities,” he stated.
Sam Liew, CEO of NCS, highlighted the synergy between the two organisations. “This partnership brings together HTX’s operational expertise and NCS’ strengths in AI, data, cybersecurity, and quantum-safe technologies to deliver intelligent, mission-ready systems for Singapore’s public safety agencies,” he said. “Built for real-world operations, these systems strengthen frontline effectiveness and resilience.”
The collaboration between HTX and NCS is poised to significantly enhance the technological capabilities of Singapore’s public safety agencies, ensuring they remain at the forefront of innovation and operational readiness.
