5. UNCLASSIFIED5/ 14 Our Principles for Foreign S&T Collaboration  Collaboration should be mutually beneficial  Collaboration should be balanced, e.g. co-funding, exchange of information/data/technology Singapore provides USV for trials. France provides towed side scan sonar and expendable mine disposal system for trials.

6. UNCLASSIFIED6/ 14 Our Domestic Challenges Evolving Socio-Economic Attitudes of Singaporeans SAF will need to be prepared for a leaner force and leverage on technologies that can deliver force-multiplying effects. Due to our falling birth rate, and tighter immigration policy, our pool for conscript will by 20% in the next 15 years. Shrinking Pool available for Conscript - Our people are calling for more government support on social needs. - There may also be greater public scrutiny on defence spending. 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 2013201820232028 20%
