The Advanced Combat Man System (ACMS)[1] is part of the Singapore Armed Forces's (SAF) move to integrate into 3G to progressively provide tactical units with network capabilities, including C4I capabilities in the field.[2] The project costs about SG$100 million to maintain.[2]
The head of the ACMS project is Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Toh Yong Leng.[3] According to him, ACMS was created to address the concern of urban warfare operations, especially "key challenges in this environment were survivability, situational awareness (SA) and the avoidance of civilian casualties and collateral damage."[3]
In a future deployment, the section commander and two commanding officers are to be equipped with the ACMS system as a part of honing urban operation capabilities.[4]
