Igla M113 (or Mechanized Igla) is the designation of the short-range anti-aircraft missile kit (SHORAD) used by the Singapore Armed Forces. The set is included in the Air Defense Division Group and is an interesting combination of Western, Soviet and Russian technologies. The PLRK was developed by the Defense Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) and has been in service since at least 2005.

The set itself consists of two combat vehicles - WFU (Weapon Fire Unit) and IFU (Integrated Fire Unit). Both means are built on the chassis of the armored personnel carrier M113A2 on which the rotating body is placed. The WFU has a simple box-shaped superstructure with a large operator window, on which are placed 2 modules of the system 9S846 Sagittarius with 4 missiles (9M39 ( 9K38 Igla), or 9M342 ( 9K338 Igla-S)). Additional equipment consists of a machine gun. The IFU vehicle is constructed similarly, but on top of the body it also carries a radar in a dielectric housing. The firing unit (platoon) consists of one IFU vehicle and a pair of WFU vehicles.
