At the heart of the Light Reconnaissance Strike concept lies the Electronic Architecture Kit (EAK), a digital backbone that connects the Ground Deployed Advanced Mortar System (GDAMS), Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (CUAS) technologies, the ADDER Remote Weapon System, and unmanned ground vehicles into a fully integrated sensor-to-shooter ecosystem. This platform-agnostic solution enables armed forces to transform existing analogue vehicles into digitally enabled assets, accelerating modernization cycles without the heavy cost of replacing entire fleets.
The versatility of the EAK is being demonstrated at DSEI 2025 across nine different tactical vehicles at ST Engineering’s and its partners’ exhibits. Meanwhile, the GDAMS is displayed on three partner platforms, highlighting its modular design and ability to deliver fast, precise indirect fire support. By showcasing the interoperability of its systems, ST Engineering is emphasizing the operational advantages of rapid adaptability in modern conflicts where speed, precision, and survivability determine battlefield outcomes.
“Modern warfare is changing, and militaries are reviewing their concept of operations. The Light Reconnaissance Strike concept is designed to provide rapidly realisable capability upgrades for forces to meet today’s operational challenges with speed and agility,” said Chua Jin Kiat, Executive Vice President and Head of International Defence Business at ST Engineering. “By upgrading existing equipment through digitalisation, armed forces can achieve force multiplied outcomes through a quick modernisation cycle.”
In addition to its digital integration solutions, ST Engineering is spotlighting the Bronco family of articulated tracked vehicles, known for their exceptional mobility in extreme terrain and combat environments. Developed initially for the Singapore Armed Forces, the Bronco is amphibious, highly mobile on snow, swamps, and soft ground, and capable of carrying heavy payloads for combat or logistics missions. Its reputation was cemented during British operations in Afghanistan, where the Warthog variant of the Bronco demonstrated outstanding survivability against improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and mines.
At DSEI 2025, the focus is on the Sisu GTT articulated tracked carrier, manufactured in Finland in partnership with Sisu. This localized version adapts the Bronco’s proven performance to European operational needs and industrial capacity, strengthening NATO’s cold-weather and Arctic mobility capabilities. Meanwhile, in Italy, a Bronco variant produced with ARIS and Leonardo is featured at ARIS’ booth, highlighting ST Engineering’s strategy of building long-term European partnerships to deliver in-country production, maintenance, and support.
“We work hand in hand with partners like Sisu, ARIS and Leonardo to build capability,” Chua added. “By localising production and establishing in-country support, we contribute to stronger, more resilient defence ecosystems.”
The unveiling of the Light Reconnaissance Strike concept alongside the Sisu GTT Bronco at DSEI 2025 highlights ST Engineering’s role as both a technology innovator and a global defense partner. By combining digital integration solutions with the expansion of localized armored vehicle production, the company is positioning itself to meet the urgent modernization demands of NATO and allied armed forces facing increasingly complex and contested battlefields.
