There a quite a number of system provider / integrator that can work with shipbuilder. if a company spend money for R&D there better be return. That is where the government comes in. The procurement law states that whatever we buy should be in current use of a number of countries. From that condition alone, PHL shipbuilder lose already. Same thing with small arms. The best we can do is to have a deal of technology transfer like for example if we buy 10, 2 will be built in the supplier's country. The rest shall be built with some sort of joint venture by local supplier(s).krazzerzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485540049092883490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-1479668158314252142016-09-19T16:52:16.164+10:002016-09-19T16:52:16.164+10:00Just for thought:

The vessel has a top speed of 28 kt, a maximum range of 5,000 n miles at 14 kt, and a standard range of 4,000 n miles at 18 kt.<br />Raden Eddy Martadinata has been configured for anti-surface, anti-submarine, and anti-air missions with a suite of weapons that include launchers for MBDA MM40 Exocet Block II anti-ship missiles, six (two triple) Eurotorp B515 torpedo launchers, and a 12-cell vertical launch system that can deploy the MBDA VL-MICA surface-to-air missiles.Soshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300061707268236259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-10834019109360203702016-09-10T11:56:42.589+10:002016-09-10T11:56:42.589+10:00In addition, there would be a thourough study why ...In addition, there would be a thourough study why we need a lot of small attack crafts? Wherein such capability can be crippled by unmanned AAV with missiles and precision guided munitions. Our enemy would not hit us near but they will hit us afar. If we really want to have a multiple attack crafts starts to fortify our island where they could "hide and seek". Putting them in an open ship yard is a dooms day. In World War 2, the mosquito fleets where not be able to sustain its capability to cripple the enemy ships vis-a-vis the small submarines staioned at Fort San Felipe at that time. We need an integrated battle network from land, air and sea. With our acqusition it seems we are neglecting our Air-Sea superiority with longer strikes capability and capacity integrated with our C4ISR for Joint Operation in COP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-60113431053325868982016-09-10T11:50:05.106+10:002016-09-10T11:50:05.106+10:00With these series of acquisition, do the defense a...With these series of acquisition, do the defense and security studied very well our layered of credible defense vis-a-vis with materiel acquisition and its sustainment. The SSV and our other capital ship right now has no permanent basing as a garage for maintenance in case of eventuality. With our defense and security acquisition is lean towards beyond the 2030 threats. Warfare technologies now a days is fast changing this is the reason the capability and capacity we are acquiring must be upgradeable specially its architectural integration to secured C4I. I have seen our procurement process I think the waterloo in the future is the Joint Operation from Strategic-Operaitonal-Tactical vis-a-vis its logistical sustainment from personnel development and enhancement to logistical capacity to sustain it. I suggest to upgrade the Naval Sea Systems Command shipyard capability and capacity to inlcude the area in Subic and somehere in Central Luzon or Palawan Area. Lesson learned from orld War 2 and from present and furure threats must be taken into account. Defense and Security of our country is very complex in nature. Technically speaking to sustain it in case of war up to depot level of maintenance and repair what must be done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-43283059272996700412016-09-03T06:09:31.168+10:002016-09-03T06:09:31.168+10:00hi sir max, down ata page mo sa facebook?hi sir max, down ata page mo sa facebook?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-55945214834515457302016-08-28T11:26:13.831+10:002016-08-28T11:26:13.831+10:00This is a clear understanding of what the requirem...This is a clear understanding of what the requirements the PN needs in its littoral fleet warfare . The MPAC series although has its advantage in speed and maneuverability has its Achilles heel on its limited size and load space for major armaments and electronics upgrades not even considering for crew support . Although limited to coastal patrol and interdiction missions it will need several strategically located base of operation to have a better scope of coverage to maximize its capabilities and range . Considering all of these factors , this is where the Shaldag Mk V comes in the picture . One of the major factor that would provide a better layer of mission coverage when mixed with the propose FAC MPACS is its size and its capabilities for the type of mission the PN needs . I'm always marveled and have high respects with the Israel defense industry for developing cost effective and mission capable defense equipments. There are several designs that could be adapted to the type of mission the PN needs in combatting these lawless elements in the southern waters . With the upcoming Horizon 2 requirements it would be best to develop other venues with the government of Israel for a better way to get more informations for other much needed defense contract for the AFP . This actually will give us a wider options and "Bang for the Bucks " defense deals other than US sourced equipments without making major changes in their equipments commonality .

(Disclaimer, I am not a military officer, nor expert in ship building, What I know is from my various research and readings of defense equipment from various online sources.)<br /><br />My Answer:<br />The government will probably build local MPACS(they are already doing it with the help of local ship builders, but with simple weapons systems.) with the transfer of technology when the Philippines will purchase those fast attack crafts from Israel. The reason why we can't yet build our own because it will take years or decades of research in providing a weapon system for such small crafts, the sensors and the radar capabilities. In short, we do not have our own technology to mount advance weapons for the patrol boats. Building a ship here? That's for sure is possible, but what we are lacking is the technology, that is why we need first to purchase, those boats and acquire a license in the process to use their technology. Creating our own techs will take time like 10 years or more.<br />Calebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06243862771214639281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-68362791571783537362016-08-22T18:08:30.344+10:002016-08-22T18:08:30.344+10:00The problem with Norway is that we have different ...The problem with Norway is that we have different climate than them..

The Philippines' unemployment is also the highest in the region. <br /><br />Yet much of what the government procures seem to be made overseas, sending precious dollars and creating jobs in Indonesia (Tarlac/Makassar-class LPDs), India (Karmota-class frigates), South Korea (T/A-50 lead-in fighter trainers).<br /><br />Hopefully, the Philippines can negotiate more offset agreements that will include tech transfer, local co-production and even perhaps licensed exportation.<br /><br />Thank you very much.<br /><br />Mat E<br />Blacktown NSWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-42999947170560993412016-08-19T18:42:08.526+10:002016-08-19T18:42:08.526+10:00They're called offset agreements, Einstein.

The Philippine Navy's next frigates will most likely be made in India, providing hundreds if not thousands of jobs to Indians.<br /><br />Like India, the Philippines should have laws to always include offset agreements when negotiating with foreign defense suppliers. <br /><br />Sir Max, I hope you don't mind if I include links below, to websites that have some more info regarding offset agreements, for those who are interested to learn more: <br /><br />http://lexicon.ft.com/Term?term=offset%20agreement<br /><br />http://www.mckinsey.com/industries/public-sector/our-insights/defense-offsets-from-contractual-burden-to-competitive-weapon<br /><br />http://www.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/new-offset-rules-allow-technology-transfer-relax-time-limits-112080302018_1.html<br /><br />http://www.idsa.in/jds/3_1_2009_LeveragingDefenceOffsetPolicyforTechnologyAcquisition<br /><br />http://saab.com/id/region/saab-czech-republic/about-saab/company-profile/industrial-cooperation/industrial-cooperation-programme/<br /><br />http://saab.com/air/gripen-fighter-system/gripen/gripen/partnership/<br /><br />Not only will the AFP benefit greatly from offset agreements, but also the Philippine economy as a whole, creating more jobs and thus, increasing government revenue for improved services to the population.<br /><br />Thank you very much.<br /><br />Mat E<br />Blacktown NSWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-41014301875478764792016-08-19T16:10:25.873+10:002016-08-19T16:10:25.873+10:00i hope from now on whether navy or air force their...i hope from now on whether navy or air force their equipment will all have missiles.
