Philippines gets sophisticated radars
from u.s approve the sale of 25 million
dollars. United States approved the sale of 25
million dollars sophisticated radars to
the philippines. The sale of and slash SPS 77C giraffe 3D air search radars and related equipment
including support and training for the
philippine navy. Amounting to 25 million
dollars has been finally approved by the
united states government without any
rejection from the U.S Congress, the u.s
defense security cooperation agency said
on tuesday.
The philippine government immediately
requested to acquire such radars wherein
the principal contractors will be VSE corporation in Saab and it will be
installed on two philippines navy ships
that will greatly enhance the ability to
detect and track air contacts, improve
its monitoring capabilities on
territorial waters specifically the west
philippine sea. The radars will likewise serve as an eye
for the philippine ships to increase its Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) capabilities, monitoring of its
territorial seas and Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ).
Likewise strengthen its maritime
security and helps reinforce an
important u.s regional security
relationship at a time when washington
is concerned about what it sees as
china's overreaching claims in the south
china sea. The philippines has for quite a long
time been one of the nearest u.s allies
in asia yet the relationship has been
strained as of late as philippine
president Rodrigo Duterte has voiced
despise and mistrust of washington, while
u.s authorities are concerned and
worried about potential human rights
violations specifically on the
accusation of Extra Judicial Killings (EJK) under the Duterte administration JCE.
Rada gets order for radars for High Energy Laser (hel) system. Rada electronic industries has received
an order for its Multi-mission Hemispheric Radar Based (MHR) RPS 42 radar
system for the development and testing
of High-Energy Laser (HEL) ground-based
tactical weapon system. The RPS-42 radar system is to be used by
a key customer based in the far east.
The
company announced tuesday, ground-based tactical hel systems are
widely perceived today as the weapon of
the future. This is because they are able to produce
precise and tailored effects against
multiple targets. they support speed of
light responsiveness and have deep
magazines. These disruptive capabilities allow them
to support a wide range of missions and
create military technology breakout.
Moreover their significant lower cost
per shot compared to expendable kinetic
munitions has the potential to change
the economics of war. Typically such weapons would be used
against tactical, low-cost and
short-range threats which endanger the
maneuver force, such as rockets mortars, cram mission and UAV's CUAV mission.
"We have developed the MHR to meet the
highest requirements of tactical
land-based force protection solutions," Dav Sella Rada's CEO commented. The MHR is currently integrated into the
u.s navy slash marine corps bad hel
program. The Lockheed Martin Athena HEL program and boeing's he lmd and silent
strike programs. This current order is
the fourth order of MHR for HEL weapon
systems re-emphasizing the suitability
and potential of the MHR to HEL systems.
Rada's mhr platform has been developed
to address the protection needs of the
maneuver force. It is an S-band, software-defined, pulse doppler, active
electronically scanned array radar. The radar system introduces
sophisticated beam forming capabilities
and advanced signal processing, which can
provide various missions on each radar
platform and offers performance to price
ratio. It is compact and mobile, operates on the
move and enables tactical threats
detection capabilities which make it an
ideal choice for the surveillance radar
as part of emerging hel systems.
