PHILIPPINE ARMY ATMOS 155mm Artillery System
The Philippine Army is set to receive the ATMOS 155 mm artillery produced by Elbit Systems of Israel after the Notice to Proceed was released by the DND.
The guns will be acquired by the Philippine Army (PA), which will operate the systems through two batteries initiated under its Army Artillery Regiment (AAR).
The NTP provides Elbit with formal authority to start building the howitzers for the PA consistent with the terms of the contract, which was signed early this year.
The contract was signed by the DND and International Defense Cooperation Directorate (SIBAT) of the Israel Ministry of Defense (MoD) and framed by an inter-government agreement.
It confirmed that the ATMOS contract has a value of PHP2.386 billion (USD47.2 million) and features the supply and delivery of 12 units. The gun systems are expected to be delivered to the PA from April 2022.
The procurement of the ATMOS system follows the DND’s order in 2015 of Elbit’s 155 mm M-71 towed gun for PHP438.6 million. This order consisted of 12 units, with six each for the PA and the Philippine Marine Corps (PMC). And all were delivered in 2017.
