Airbus Defence and Space together with NCS will establish a Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Singapore for the research, development and the commercialisation of safe city solutions in Asia. Technologies and solutions like data fusion and predictive analytics, video content analytics and crowd simulation will better support emergency services and operations in an urban environment, allowing data sharing between the various city stakeholders. Thus, preventive measures can be taken early to allow each involved agency to respond in an appropriate manner.

“The establishment of the CoE paves the way for a better, safer and smarter way of life for city dwellers. We share the strength of each organisation’s expertise in Safe City solutions and look forward to working closely with NCS to strengthen our industrial capabilities through this partnership,” said Johan Pelissier, Managing Director of Airbus Defence and Space in Singapore.
