As operational demands increase across defence, security and civil aviation, operators are seeking more flexible ways to deploy airborne intelligence, surveillance, targeting and communications capability — without the cost, complexity or timelines associated with bespoke platforms or aircraft modification.
At Singapore Airshow 2026, SiNAB will demonstrate how its Australian-developed airborne solutions are enabling this shift, showcasing capability that can be deployed on aircraft already in service and proven in real-world operations.
Held from 3–8 February 2026 at the Changi Exhibition Centre, Singapore Airshow is one of the world’s most influential international aerospace and defence exhibitions, bringing together global industry leaders, government decision-makers and operators from across the Indo-Pacific and beyond.
Representing Australia with Team Defence Australia
SiNAB will exhibit as part of Team Defence Australia (TDA), the Australian Government’s flagship platform for showcasing Australian defence and dual-use capability at major international events.
Supported by the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade), the Team Defence Australia pavilion provides direct access to international partners, customers and decision-makers across defence, security and public safety sectors.
Participation in Team Defence Australia reinforces SiNAB’s position as a sovereign Australian capability provider with a growing international footprint.
From payload to mission system
Traditionally, airborne capability has been delivered through individual sensors or platform-specific integrations. SiNAB’s approach has evolved differently.
Rather than treating ISR, targeting and communications as standalone payloads, SiNAB has developed a fully self-contained, integrated airborne mission system that brings these functions together in a single solution, designed to operate across multiple aircraft types with minimal integration burden.
This approach enables operators to achieve meaningful mission effects using aircraft they already fly, while retaining the flexibility to adapt capability as operational requirements evolve.
Introducing the Phoenix range of airborne systems
At Singapore Airshow 2026, SiNAB will present elements of its Phoenix range of mission pods, a growing portfolio of airborne systems built on a common mission architecture and designed to support a wide range of defence, security and civil use cases.
The Phoenix capabilities reflect SiNAB’s focus on trusted, tested and tactical capability, enabling operators to select system configurations suited to their platform, mission profile and operating environment.
Two systems will be on display at the show:
Phoenix Pod
Phoenix Pod is a fully self-contained airborne mission system integrating ISR, targeting, communications and training functions into a single podded solution. Designed and proven for real-world operations, Phoenix Pod delivers a complete, tested and approved airborne ISR and Close Air Support–relevant capability, ready for rapid deployment.
Unlike new or developmental systems, Phoenix Pod is flight-tested, approved for carriage and operationally proven across multiple aircraft types, with civil and military flight approvals including FAA, EASA, CASA, USAF and RAAF. The system has flown on platforms including the Lear 35, PC-9, Hawk 67, L-39 ZA, L-39 Skyfox, L150 Alca and Cessna O-2A, providing operators with confidence in its maturity and deployability.
Phoenix Mini
Phoenix Mini is a lightweight, compact airborne ISR solution, based on the Phoenix Pod capabilities, and designed for light aircraft, helicopters and emerging tactical platforms. Extending the Phoenix architecture to smaller platforms, Phoenix Mini is particularly suited to agile operations — including counter-UAS detection, tracking and identification, as well as surveillance and security missions in complex or congested airspace.
By enabling airborne sensing and mission data delivery from smaller, lower-cost platforms, Phoenix Mini supports flexible counter-UAS and security operations across both defence and civil environments.
Demonstrating capability through operational scenarios
Developed to illustrate real-world mission concepts, SiNAB’s OV-1 scenarios demonstrate how our airborne systems support end-to-end operational workflows, from airborne sensing and data management through to mission coordination and decision support.
At the Singapore Airshow, SiNAB will display real-life training and flight-test footage captured during recent operations in Houston, flying on the RAVN Aerospace Hawk 67 aircraft. This footage provides a direct view of the system operating in a live flight environment, reinforcing the maturity of the capability beyond conceptual or simulated demonstrations.
Our display will offer visitors a grounded, operational perspective on how integrated airborne mission capability can be delivered using aircraft already in service.
Australian-developed capability, built for international operations
Designed and developed in Australia, SiNAB’s airborne systems support deployable outcomes across defence, security and civil environments, with growing application among international partners and operators.
Singapore Airshow represents a key opportunity for SiNAB to engage with customers, partners and decision-makers shaping future airborne capability requirements across the Indo-Pacific region.
