Singapore Artillery

The Singapore Artillery is a formation of the Singapore Army. It consists of two regular battalions and currently one active National Service (NS) and Reservist battalions. The primary role of the Artillery is to deliver timely, accurate and effective fire in support of the man-oeuvre force to accomplish its missions. As the Artillery is an indirect fire support system, the gunners at the weapons do not need to see the targets in order to engage fire.

The location of the targets are provided by the forward observers as well as elements of target acquisition unit. This information is then passed to the command post which commands and controls the weapons delivering the fire
