Philippine Air Force (Ground-Based Air Defense System) APPROVED
The Philippine government’s Department of Budget and Management (DBM) has approved funding for the procurement of a ground-based air defense (GBAD) system for the Philippine Air Force (PAF), according to a recently released budgetary documentation.
In a ‘Special Allotment Release Order’ (SARO), the DBM said the PAF’s ground-based air defense project has been allocated PHP2.39 billion (USD48.4 million). It said the funds were approved and released under a Special Allotment Release Order issued to the Department of National Defense (DND) in mid-June.
According to the DBM, the Special Allotment Release Order provides approval for procurement agencies such as the DND to sign contracts with vendors.
In January this year, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said the PAF intended to meet its ground-based air defense requirement through the procurement from Israel of the Spyder self-propelled surface-to-air missile (SAM) system made by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems.
The procurement has been prioritized by the Philippines for several years to boost the PAF’s air defense capability and is included under the second phase of the Revised Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Modernization Program (RAFPMP).
