Eight companies in bid to purchase patrol aircraft

FROM four to eight -- there are now eight competing firms for the P5.9-billion acquisition contract on long-range patrol aircraft, the Defense department said.

BusinessWorld reported in June the four companies that have signified interest in this bidding -- Canadian firm Field Aviation Ltd., Israeli defense contractors Elbit Systems Ltd. and Elta Systems Ltd., and European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company-Construcciones Aeronautics SA Airbus.

Fairly new into this foray are Sweden-based aerospace firm SAAB Defense and Security, Canada-based Bombardier Aerospace, PT Dirgantara Indonesia and American defense contractors Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Company and L3 Mission Integration.

Lt. Col. Enrico B. Canaya, spokesperson of the Philippine Air Force (PAF), said more bidders will give the Philippine military more choices in its procurement of patrol aircraft.

“For now we mostly use the N22-Nomad. But really, for patrol operations, we can use any of the available aircraft that we have,” Mr. Canaya said.

The PAF has at least three N22-Nomad aircraft in its arsenal. The N-22 Nomad is a transport and patrol aircraft utilized in missions with short takeoff and landing areas. -- Alden M. Monzon

Jayapura, Papua (ANTARA News) - The chief of the Papua Regional Military Command, Major General Christian Zebua, has expressed TNIs (military) readiness to assist the police in dealing with armed groups that have been causing restlessness in the region.

"We are ready to offer our services in overcoming the armed groups that have recently attacked civilians as well as security personnel," he said to ANTARA News here.

He said he condemned the shooting incidents involving the groups in the Papua inland regions.

Regarding the form of assistance the TNI will provide, he said that as the situation is still under civil order status, he would only prepare personnel who could be used immediately in case they were required by the police.

The TNI will remain behind the police and support every action they carry out, he affirmed.

He said personnel in Wamena had been made available to be embedded in the police force.

In the last two months, four people including two police officers had been killed by civilian armed groups in the region.

They had carried out attacks in Tingginambut, district of Puncak Jaya, and Tiom, district of Lanny Jaya.

Jakarta: Five separatist rebels have been shot dead in an exchange of gunfire with the Indonesian military in the country's easternmost province of Papua.

The shootout occurred in the district of Lanny Jaya in the mountainous central part of Papua, where two policemen were ambushed and killed earlier this week.

Jakarta has deployed a heavy military presence in the area to quell a low-level separatist movement, spearheaded by the Free Papua Movement (OPM).

"We have shot five OPM members, and two of our personnel were also grazed by bullets," said Papua military commander Christian Zebua.

The OPM has for decades waged an insurgency against Indonesian rule over the resource-rich but poor ethnically Melanesian region.

JAYAPURA, Indonesia — Aug 1, 2014, 8:55 AM ET

Five suspected rebels were killed Friday in a clash with Indonesian soldiers in restive Papua province, the military said.

The clash occurred in the mountainous district of Lanny Jaya when a group of gunmen ambushed a passing army motorcade in Pirime subdistrict, Papua army chief Maj. Gen. Christian Zebua said.

He said two soldiers were wounded in the clash.

Zebua said there were 17 cars in the motorcade carrying soldiers assigned to hunt rebels who had attacked a group of police on Sunday in Lanny Jaya, killing two officers and injuring four others.

Media reports say armed groups have killed 30 officers and stolen 20 firearms in the region this year.

Nice addition, btw i'm curious what's the reason for putting heli in oiler ship?

 

[Nike]

to give support for the ships, it is more related to maintain their everyday duties in check. Heli is useful to bring the replacement crew, bringing much needed supply like medicine drugs, bringing letter and hard copy documents of the crew, extension of the ships itself to adding the situational combat awareness, and etc.
