The former will provide flight tests and development services for system integration. ST Engineering and Norway-based Wilhelmsen Ships Services (WSS) will be developing and testing solutions for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) unmanned shore-to-ship parcels in Singapore, according to a news release. For this venture, ST Engineering will provide flight tests and technology development services for system integration and solution prototyping.
