As part of the transformation of the Next Generation Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), the Digital and Intelligence Service (DIS), the fourth Service of the SAF was established in 2022. The mission of the DIS is to defend and dominate in the digital domain. As part of an integrated SAF, the DIS will enhance Singapore's security, from peace to war. The DIS plays a critical role in defending Singapore from threats in the digital domain, and allows the SAF to operate better as a networked and integrated force to deal with a wider spectrum of external threats to enhance and safeguard Singapore's peace and sovereignty.
