These systems are an extension of the existing variety of remotely controlled sea and land weapon positions, enabling execution of various actions without exposing the combat soldiers.

- SPOTLIGHT N System – an advanced maritime electro-optic system for locating sources of fire.
- TOPLIGHT HD System – an advanced HD-quality electro-optic payload system.
Singapore is an important market for the Israeli security industries. It does not disclose details about its defense deals, but several years ago there were news on purchase of early warning and intelligence airplanes from Israeli Aircraft Industries. The systems were installed on the G-550 executive aircraft like the ones serving for similar missions of Israeli Air Force.
According to foreign sources Singapore bought in the past other weapon systems from Israel, including fast boats for shores control.
Many visitors are expected at the exhibition from all over Asia and other areas of the world. This emphasizes the importance of this exhibition in times of defense market competition at its peak.
