3. Dispersing Toxic Clouds
HTX assesses the effectiveness of different mitigation measures against the threat of toxic chemical plumes.
4. SGSecure 2.0
SGsecure is the key platform for public to contribute towards the safety and security for Singapore and for MHA to disseminate important messages during peacetime and crisis periods.

Saving Lives Exhibits

1. Electric Pump Ladder
The Electric Pump Ladder is the first electric firefighting vehicle in Southeast Asia, and is integrated with a Fire Fighting Robot for remote fire fighting operations.
2. Insect-Hybrid Robot
HTX is developing miniature insect hybrid robots with locomotion control and human detection capabilities which can be used to search for survivors in disaster zones.
3. Robotics for Search and Rescue
Rover-X is a robotic dog that is suited for search and rescue deployment to unstructured terrain and places that are unsafe for humans.
4. SPYDER – Hull Climbing Robot
HTX has developed SPYDER, a self-powered Hull Climbing Robot to augment ship boarding operations.
5. Multi sensorial XR (MSXR) RTA and Hazmat Simulation
The MSXR employs multisensorial technology and instrumented equipment to enhance and augment Road Traffic Accident (RTA) and Hazmat training.
