India, Philippines Expected to Sign Agreement on BrahMos Missile System in 2021

 

The governments of India and Philippines are looking into signing an agreement regarding the BrahMos missile system during the planned summit between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Rodrigo Duterte in 2021, according to report by Indian newspaper Hindustan Times.

In line with the expected signing, BrahMos Aerospace officials are expected to visit Philippines in December to address remaining details regarding the deal.“The BrahMos team is expected to iron out a few kinks and address some small issues so that the deal can be signed during the upcoming summit. Everything else has been worked out,” a source cited by Hindustan Times said.

Russian Deputy Chief of Mission at the Russian Embassy in India Roman Babushkin was also quoted by Hindustan Times during an online media briefing saying “all tests of contemporary versions are successful. They were carried out mainly to increase the range of this exclusive missile. We are exporting it to third countries beginning with the Philippines.”BrahMos is a joint development between Russian Federation’s NPO Mashinostroyeniya and India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

In October last year, Philippine Army officials visited Indian Navy Ship Sahyadri docked at Pier 15 in Manila. The Indian Navy warship is armed with BrahMos missile system.The Philippine Army said that it is “interested in acquiring this type of missile as it will strengthen our coastal defense operations.”

Also in October 2019, the Army activated the 1st Land-based Missile System Battery (1LBMS Btry) under Army Artillery Regiment (AAR) in preparation for the acquisition of land-based missile system.

Moreover, the Army displayed a mock-up unit of the BrahMos land-based missile system for its two-day Philippine Army Technology Day 2019 in December 2019.

Hanwha Selects Kongsberg for Australia's ‘Huntsman' Project

 

Hanwha Defense Australia (HDA) has announced a partnership with Kongsberg Defence Australia (KDA) in support of its bid to supply the Australian Army with K9 155 mm self-propelled howitzers (SPHs) and 15 K10 armoured ammunition resupply vehicles (AARVs).

HDA said on 13 November that KDA will be responsible for integrating command, control, communications, and computing (C4) capability into the two platforms – to be known in Australia as the ‘Huntsman’ family of vehicles – which are expected to be acquired through the Protected Mobile Fires programme under Project Land 8116 Phase 1.In early September HDA, which is the local subsidiary of South Korea’s Hanwha Defense, was named by the Australian government as preferred supplier in the programme. HDA was issued with a request for tender (RFT) later that month.

HDA said its selection of Kongsberg to supply C4 integration was a “natural choice”, given that the Norwegian-headquartered company provides the digital architecture and fire-control system for Hanwha Defense’s K9 and K10 platforms.Hanwha Defense and Kongsberg have previously partnered on projects to supply K9 and K10 platforms to Norway and K9 SPHs to Finland and Estonia.
