SHOALWATER BAY, Australia - For the first time, drones from the Singapore Army and Republic of Singapore Air Force are flying together to give troops on the ground more eyes in the sky to pinpoint enemy locations, which could give them an edge in battle.

Known as the Mobile Imagery Intelligence Dissemination System , the new system developed by the RSAF in August pipes down information captured by the Heron 1 to anyone who has an access point. The two UAVs operate at different scales - the Heron 1 provides a bird's-eye view of the battlefield with advanced imaging sensors and can guide munitions to targets precisely using a laser. It is operated by an RSAF pilot at a distance.

Before its development, information from the Heron 1 could be accessed only at specific control centres, he said.The RSAF is currently putting the Mids system to a trial at Exercise Wallaby, the Singapore Armed Forces' largest overseas exercise, which fully resumed in 2022.
