Future acquisition plans
The Philippine Army has embarked on a 3-phase modernization program starting from 2013 to 2028 under the Revised AFP Modernization Program (RAFPMP) covered by Republic Act 10349, while still completing a previous modernization program spanning from 1995 to 2012 under the AFP Modernization Program (AFPMP) covered by Republic Act 7898.[81] Several new acquisitions found in the current inventory were acquired under the AFP Modernization Program, as the Army projects under the RAFPMP are yet to be implemented as of September 2015.
Infantry and crew-served equipment
An additional 22,253 units of Remington R4A3 (M4 standard) assault carbines were ordered by the DND from Remington Defense USA, using the savings from an earlier order for 50,629 rifles.[82] It is expected that not all will be given to the Army, that some are for the other AFP branch of services.
The Government Arsenal is being tapped to refurbish or rebuild a majority of the Army's M16A1 rifles, and prototypes were already made to convert them to several variants.[8][83]
Aside from the M16A1, the Government Arsenal will also be refurbishing or rebuilding the existing M14 battle rifles of the AFP, into either the M14 SOCOM 16 battle rifle similar to the Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM 16 rifle, the M14 Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR) which similar to the US Marine Corps' Designated Marksman Rifle; and to the Enhanced Battle Rifle (EBR) which is similar to the US Navy's Mk 14 Enhanced Battle Rifle.[8]
-
GA's Designated Marksman Rifle/Special Purpose Rifle (DMR/SPR) with an 18" barrel and optics
-
GA's Squad Designated Marksman Rifle (SDMR) for SOCOM units, with a 16" barrel and optics.
-
GA's Musang Personal Defense Weapon (PDW) with a 10" barrel chambered to fire the 7.62×37mm Musang round developed by GA.
-
GA's SOCOM 16 rifle, an upgraded M14 using a 16" barrel for SOCOM units.
-
GA's enhanced and refurbished M16A1. Will be distributed in the following years,
There are also acquisition programs for Designated Marksman Rifles, with more than 800 units of the SIG716 G2 7.62x51mm rifle recently delivered by American firearms company SIG Sauer USA.[84]
As part of the Horizon 1 phase of the RAFPMP under Republic Act 10349, the Philippine Army acquired 4,464 night fighting equipment from Turkish defense company Aselsan A.S.,consisting of 4,464 Aselsan A100 night vision monoculars, 4,464 Aselsan infrared aiming devices, and hundreds of laser zeroing devices.[85] The Philippine Army received the first tranche delivery in 2016, with Aselsan delivering all 4,464 sets within 2017.[30][86]
There is also a requirement for Thermal Imaging Devices, which are planned for acquisition within the Horizon 1 phase of the RAFPMP.[87] Turkish defense company Aselsan A.S. again won the public tender for 10 Long Range and 48 Medium Range Clip-On Weapon Mounted Thermal Sights, and 10 Long Range and 48 Medium Range Thermal Imaging Cameras.
The Philippine Army also had several acquisitions through the US Foreign Military Sales (FMS) acquisition program with the US government as part of the AFPMP RA 7898. Among them include 2,884 units 40mm Grenade Launchers divided into 2 phases of 2,200 and 684 units, both of which delivered within 2017.[22] Another is the acquisition of 1,129 units of RPG-7 under the Rocket Launcher Light acquisition project in 2 phases of 355 and 774 units under both the AFPMP RA 7898 and Horizon 1 phase of the RAFPMP RA 10349;[22] The US tapped Bulgarian arms manufacturer Arsenal JSCo. to supply 250 units of their ATGL-L derivative of the RPG-7, which were fully delivered in 2017.[86] The 2nd batch, reduced to 744 units, was awarded to Russia's Rosoboronexport, which will supply and deliver the RPG-7V.[26]
Communications equipment
The DND has recently awarded an US$18 million contract to Harris Corporation to supply Harris Falcon III tactical vehicular radios and intercom systems for the Philippine Army's Mechanized Infantry Division (formerly Light Armor Division). The contract composed of RF-7800V Combat Net Radios and RF-7800I Intercom Systems to be installed of the MID's armored and support vehicles.[22][88]
The Philippine Army will also acquire more Falcon-series tactical radios from Harris under a FMS deal with the US government, with a requirement for 62 100W base radios, 520 20W man-pack radios, and 1,376 5W hand-held radios under the AFPMP RA 7898 already awarded in 2014.[89] Another set of orders is expected under RAFPMP RA 10349, with an additional 60 units 50W HF vehicular radios and 1,446 5W hand-held radios.[89]
Artillery
6 units of 155mm towed howitzers, as part of a larger order with the Philippine Marine Corps, is expected to be awarded within 2015 after Elbit Systems Land & C4I was declared the single calculated bidder.[90][91]
The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is negotiating with its South Korean counterparts for the transfer of four (4) batteries worth of surplus K136 Kooryong multiple launch rocket launchers (MLRS), related equipment and ammunition. Of the four batteries, three (3) would be for the Philippine Army. One battery can consist between four to six firing units.[92]
The Philippine Army is also preparing the acquisition of 155mm self-propelled howitzers, selecting the Soltam ATMOS 155mm/52 cal. Self-Propelled Howitzer system from Israel's Elbit Systems. 2 batteries are planned.[93]
Utility vehicles
The Army will be acquiring 60 new Field Ambulances under an G2G deal with the Korean government. It is expected that Kia's KM451 Field Ambulance will be chosen since the PA has recently acquired the several units in the past.[89] The order is then confirmed, with the DND releasing a Notice to Proceed to South Korea's KIA Motors Corp. in October 2015.[56]
Armored vehicles
As part of the Horizon 2 phase of the Revised AFP Modernization Program, the Philippine Army is embarking on the modernization and firepower upgrade for 49 of its M113A2, as talks are underway with Elbit Systems Land & C4I negotiating for the works which include uparming 44 M113A2 with the Elbit Dragon 12.7mm RCWS, and 5 M113A2 to armored mortar carriers armed with an Elbit Soltam Cardom 81mm mortar.[94]
Also part of the Horizon 2 phase involves the acquisition of light or medium tanks.[95] A total of 30 light tanks are being considered, with both 8x8 wheeled and tracked variants being discussed with several manufacturers from Europe, Turkey, South Korea and Israel.[96] The Philippine Army have shortlisted the competition with the ASCOD, Kaplan MT, and K21-105 as well as the Pandur 2, Centauro 2, and Arma. It is expected that Elbit systems partnered with GDELS and Excalibur Army, offering the ASCOD Medium Main Battle Tank and Pandur 2 armed with a 105 mm gun, might bag the contract. [97][98]
The Philippine Army is also considering either the upgrade of several dozens of Simba and V-150 4x4 armored vehicles, or the acquisition of new 28 6x6 or 8x8 wheeled armored personnel carriers armed with whatever fits the budget allocated, preferably a 30mm cannon in an unmanned turret.[97][98]
