the defence budget, respectively. Singapore's education system has also produced national servicemen who can be trained to operate SAF's sophisticated platforms and systems. In Sep 2008, the SAF officially opened its Murai Urban Training Facility (MUTF) to hone the SAF's networked urban operations capability. The MUTF resembles a typical town and allows the soldiers to train realistically in an urban setting. In the same month, the SAF's new combat uniform, as well as the Advanced Combat Man System, were also unveiled for the first time. The country also has an established military manufacturing industry that is responsible for the design and development of the following military hardware: PRIMUS – Self-propelled Howitzer Bionix II – Infantry Fighting Vehicle (an upgrade of the Bionix AFV) MATADOR – Unguided Short Range Anti-Armour Weapon Terrex I, II, III – Infantry Carrier Vehicle PEGASUS – Light Weight Howitzer SAR 21 & Bullpup multirole combat rifle – Bullpup Assault Rifle Formidable-Class Stealth Frigate – warships designed with stealthy characteristics, equipped with advanced combat systems and with longer endurance Independence-class littoral mission vessel – warships designed for littoral and coastal warfare Uniforms The SAF's first-generation uniform is named Temasek Green from the army's simple flat green uniform, with brown and blue for the navy and air force respectively. This was followed by the second-generation uniform which used a patchy camouflage pattern for the army while both the navy and air force used overalls. The current (third generation) combat uniform, more commonly known as the No. 4, used by the tri-services are based on digital camouflage with base colors green, blue and light grey for the army, air force and navy respectively. In June 2018, the SAF introduced a new variant of the uniform for combat units which provides more effective cooling similar to the ones issued to US army personnel for tropical climate. The SAF's desert-camouflage uniforms are only issued to personnel deployed overseas to countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan.
