Actually there is nothing to be revealed except one guy sitting there perhaps sitting in front of a console but the pix did not reveal that.

If that is the case - why bother to put the vehicle on public display in the first place. Hatch was open, vehicle in the stadium carpark, with lots of civilian participants moving around the mobile colume holding area.

Actually it was facing Mac Donalds restaurant. Anyone sitting in there can have a view of its internal. If its secretive, they should have taken more precautions.

ADMS - Air Defense Mobile System
- is an advanced, self-propelled air defense system.

ADMS implements state-of-the-art battle management techniques for integrated air defense battery operation, yielding excellent close defense to vital sites, units in the field and mobile combat units.

ADMS fires VSHORAD missiles. C4I techniques and automatic target engagement facilities enable fast reaction and full utilization of the missile potential performance. The system provides day, night and adverse weather defense against fixed wing and rotary wing air targets.Installed on Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) chassis, ADMS features all-terrain mobility.
ADMS also supports mission planning, battle debriefing, and training.

ADMS battery consists of a Surveillance and Command Unit (SCU) and several Missile Launching Units (MLU).

The number of MLUs in each battery is determined by the user.
The SCU detects and classifies the targets using a surveillance radar and an IFF system, and generates an Air Situation Picture (ASP). A battle management system designates targets to the MLUs, and automatically transmits the ASP and C2 data to the MLUs through a data communication network.

The MLUs acquire the targets using an electro-optical day/night sight system. Target acquisition is initiated by an automatic auto-slewing process. Each MLU carries four ready-to-fire missiles mounted on a lightweight overhead weapon station.

The MLU is designed to optimally operate in battery formation. It also features an excellent stand-alone, autonomous operation capability, where target search and detection are performed only with the sight system, without cueing from the SCU.

Hmm…Hey folks, to enlighten you guys on what exactly is the AA missile system you guys are talking about, It is actually known as the Shimron AA missile system. The missiles mounted on the side is non other than the IGLA. This system however, is not new, It has always been put on trial by our nation’s ADA troops. ADSD if you guys have heard of it before…

What is it ? A Branco ?What version? p73 3Q 2004 Investors briefing ST.

The captions are:

---Continued contractual delivery of Bronco
---Secure contracts from European customer for to conduct feasibilty study for its future all terrain vehicle

Bronco studied by Finnish Defence Forces (Nokia's home country)

The Bronco All Terrain Tracked Carrier continued to attract interest from many overseas armies. In July(2004), ST Kinetics was awarded a feasibility study contract to explore the development of a Future All Terrain Vehicle for the Finnish Defence Forces. This endorses ST Kinetics standing as an international defence company. As part of the evaluation, the Bronco clocked more than 8,000km over a six month period under harsh arctic conditions in Finland. It also surpassed expectations in mobility trials conducted elsewhere in Europe, Africa, Asia Pacific and the US.

Headline: Catch the newest war machines at NDP
By: David Boey, Defence Correspondent

HOMING IN : The Mechanised Igla, with its bin-shaped radar and self-propelled
anti-aircraft missiles, will be on display for the first time in the Mobile Column.

SINGAPORE'S newest military machines will make their debut at this year's
National Day Parade (NDP)..................

Among the mighty war machines is an armoured vehicle topped with four
missiles and a machine gun.

It's the pride of the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), which says the machine
can swiftly down low-flying planes and helicopters.

Called the Mechanised Igla, it is used by the Republic of Singapore Air
Force (RSAF) to shield SAF units against enemy air attacks.

Other new weapons and equipment that will be in the Mobile Column include a 155mm self-propelled artillery gun, and the latest police cars and fire
engines.

They will begin moving towards the Padang just before 7pm.

The sharp end of the Mechanised Igla is its Russian-designed Igla missiles -
igla being Russian for 'needle'.

These have a needle-like nose containing sensors which home in on heat from aircraft or helicopter engines.

Igla missiles can destroy aerial intruders up to 5km away, and flying at a
height of 3km.

Each vehicle also carries a 7.62mm machine gun for self-defence against
enemy troops.

The two Mechanised Iglas will form part of the Mobile Column of SAF, police
and civil defence vehicles taking part in the parade.
.....................
The RSAF uses two versions of the Mechanised Igla and both will be on show at today's parade.
One has a cylindrical-shaped bin that houses a radar and the other does not have this sensor.

The Defence Ministry said the radar-equipped vehicle will send information
on air threats to other vehicles electronically, which helps missile operators
know which direction hostile planes and choppers are coming from, and thus
improve their threat awareness.

Colonel Woo Yew Chung, Commander of the 8th Singapore Armoured Brigade which organised the Mobile Column, said the column stretches some 2km from front to back and would need up to 45 minutes to walk from one end to another.

It seems M113 Igla exists few years ago.
