titleCourse Description

Through the years, the nature of threats have evolved from traditional security, e.g. territorial threats and terrorism, to hybrid threats, in which state or non-state actors conduct coordinated propaganda, sabotage, pressure, and other overt or covert non-military or military actions to subjugate the target. In this course, students will learn the key concepts of total defence to deal with such threats to a nation’s well-being; identify and articulate a potential hybrid threat to Singapore; and then design, and possibly execute, a community project that could provide suitable counter-measures that integrate an effective multi-faceted response to the identified threat.
