At Saab-NTU Joint Lab, we aim to be the world-leading laboratory in Air Traffic Management & Tower Control and Unmanned Underwater Vehicles domains.
We develop the next-generation technologies to enhance the capabilities of Saab products & services in these areas
and groom the research talent for Saab AB via Ph.D. training.
Saab AB - Our Leading Partner
Learn more"Saab-NTU Joint Lab evolves from Saab’s strategy to digitalise our programmes & products.
For Saab digitalised research programme, we selected several institutions & countries as collaborators.
Singapore is our very first partner in Asia to have a research centre. For that, NTU is our top choice."
Dr. Jovice Ng Boon Sing
Co-Director, Saab-NTU Joint Lab
Research Director, Saab Singapore
NTU and Saab jointly committed a total of S$13m for the R&D activities of Saab-NTU Joint Lab (SNJL).
Saab's research in Singapore focuses on the market needs of the Asian region. SNJL will contribute towards developing the next-generation products and services in the fields of air traffic management and underwater robotics with a focus on such areas as artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, anomaly detection and robot perception (i.e. sensing, detection and navigation).
While NTU looks forward to realising the great potential of this research partnership via tapping on the talent & creativity of our faculty & students and from Saab's technical capabilities. The collaboration will also see Saab recruits top candidates to do their PhD at SNJL. The Saab-hired PhD students will have opportunities to be involved with Saab's various branches in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as its global headquarters in Sweden.
