Airbus offers C-295 variant as PH’s long-range patrol aircraft
March 3, 2016 Joel Dizon


Airbus Defence and Space has confirmed that will be offering a variant of its C-295 aircraft for Department of National Defense (DND)’s long range patrol aircraft project. The bid opening for the said project is scheduled on March 14, 10:00 a.m. at the DND Bids and Awards Committee Right Wing Basement, DND Building, Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City.

This project has an approved budget for the acquisition of two long range patrol aircraft for Philippine Air Force. These aircraft will provide the Air Force with capability to monitor and patrol Philippine exclusive economic zone (EEZ).

The reopening of this acquisition project is after a failed bidding mid-2015. Seven firms reportedly participated in the said failed bidding: Saab Asia Pacific, L3 Mission Integratio, IAI Elta Systems, Elbit Systems, Lockheed Martin, PT Dirgantara Indonesia (Indonesian Aerospace), CASA-Airbus Defense and Space.

Airbus Defence and Space Press Manager for Military Aircraft Kieran Daly confirmed today in an email to Update.PH that they will be offering the C-295 for this project.

The said aircraft has a variant equipped with integrated surveillance systems, including the Fully Integrated Tactical System (FITS) to effectively act as maritime patrol aircraft.

The Philippine Air Force is currently operating three C-295M aircraft as medium lift aircraft.

Two second-hand C-130 planes from the United States worth P1.6 billion and expected to boost territorial defense and humanitarian operations are scheduled to be delivered this year.
“We expect the first C-130 by the middle of this of this month, March 15. The Air Force Technical Working Group are in the United States right now,” outgoing Air Force chief Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Delgado told reporters on Tuesday.
The Armed Forces of the Philippines is currently modernizing its capability for humanitarian and disaster response and territorial defense amid China’s sweeping expansion in the West Philippine Sea.
The other C-130 plane, meanwhile, is expected to be delivered by September.
The military transport planes are currently based in Davis-Mothan Air Base in Arizona. They are acquired under the Excess Defense Articles program of the United States.
The additional aircraft will raise the number of mission-ready C-130s of the Philippine Air Force to five.
