Unmanned Systems Asia 2023

The Association of Aerospace Industries (Singapore) (AAIS) organised the Singapore Pavilion at Rotorcraft and Unmanned Systems Asia (RCA-UMSA) 2023, held from 3rd to 5th May at the Changi Exhibition Centre. The Singapore Pavilion featured six innovative Singaporean companies, each showcasing their diverse range of technologies and groundbreaking solutions.

RCA-UMSA 2023, co-located with IMDEX Asia and organised by Experia Events, provided a dynamic platform for thought-provoking discussions, start-up pitching sessions, and an impressive unmanned technology showcase. During the Mobility Forum, several noteworthy points were raised by industry leaders. For instance, it was projected that the entire process of developing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, from inception to commercialisation, would likely span around 12 years, with profitability anticipated to be achieved only after 2035. Furthermore, industry experts predicted that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) would potentially merge to consolidate funding and foster the growth of the sector. Another significant insight highlighted the expectation that drone deliveries would primarily focus on middle-mile deliveries, rather than final-mile deliveries.

Within the Singapore Pavilion, an impressive array of cutting-edge technologies was on display. These included unmanned traffic management (UTM) and UAS mission systems, additive manufacturing, precision engineering, composites for aerospace and unmanned systems, autonomous driving technologies, and deep-tech Robot as a Service (RaaS) solutions, among others.
