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.^[117] 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[]

In line with the Philippine Army's requirement to acquire additional rifles to meet its growing needs, the branch of service conducted the acquisition of additional 2,702 new rifles in 5.56x45mm Nato caliber under the Assault Rifle M4/AR15 Platform Acquisition Project in which deliveries started in October 2019 and would end in February 2020.

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.^[85][118]

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.^[85]

The Philippine Army also had several acquisitions through the US Foreign Military Sales (FMS) acquisition program with the U.S. 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.^[32] 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;^[32] 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.^[120] The 2nd batch, reduced to 744 units, was awarded to Russia's Rosoboronexport, which will supply and deliver the RPG-7V.^[121]

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.^[32][122]

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.^[123] 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.^[123]

Artillery[]

The Philippine Army are awaiting the delivery of four batteries worth of surplus K136 Kooryong multiple launch rocket launchers (MLRS), related equipment and ammunition. Of the four batteries, three would be for the Philippine Army. One battery can consist of between four and six firing units. The delay is due to the non-released for funds for its shipment from South Korea to the Philippines.^{[citation needed]}

The Department of National Defense has awarded the acquisition of 155mm self-propelled howitzers, to Israel's Elbit Systems choosing the Soltam ATMOS 155mm/52 cal. Self-Propelled Howitzer system. Of which 2 batteries or 12 units of ATMOS 155mm/52 cal. Self-Propelled Howitzer will be delivered by February 2022.^[124]

Land-Based Surface Missile System acquisition[]

The DND plans to acquire a shore-based missile system with a budget of ₱6.5 billion that will be placed under the control and supervision of the Army.^[125] It will consist of 12 launchers with its attendant trailers and tracking systems plus the missiles themselves. These shore-to-ship missiles could be fired to hit naval or other sea-based targets.^[126]

The Shore Based Missile systems were shelved in favor for body kits and other internal security operations.

In 2018, the plan was back on track as part of the PHP 300 billion/USD $5.6 billion Horizon 2 phase projects, with the budget for the Land-Based Missile System approved by President Duterte in June 2018. The BrahMos Missile Systems from India being the main contender for the project. The contract is expected to be signed by 3rd quarter of 2020, with an at least 2 batteries set to be acquired for Philippine Army.^[127][128]

Air Defense Artillery[]

Short Ranged Air-Defense (SHORAD) Systems[]

With the activation of 2nd Air Defense Artillery Battery, The Philippine Army is preparing to acquire Man-Portable Air-Defense Systems (MANPADS), as part of the Horizon 2 projects. The Army is eyeing the MBDA Mistral system from France, and the LIG Nex1 Chiron system from South Korea being shortlisted, aside from the current M39 cannons and other AA guns in its inventory. Decisions on the acquisition will be announced within 2020, and deliveries are expected on or before 2024.^[129]

Utility vehicles[]

The Army will be acquiring 60 new field ambulances under a 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.^[123] The order is then confirmed, with the DND releasing a Notice to Proceed to South Korea's KIA Motors Corp. in October 2015.^[31]

Armored vehicles[]

Light Tanks[]

The Philippine Army, along with the DND, plans to acquire 28 units of light to medium tanks consisting of 10 Tank destroyers and 18 Light tank tracked units, plus 1 command vehicle and 1 armored recovery vehicle to serve as transition units as the Philippine Army creates more armor and tank units. The acquisition was also the result of lessons during the Battle of Marawi, when existing 90mm and 76mm guns were insufficient in punching through concrete structures used as defensive positions by the enemy, as well as proper armor protection under heavy fire. The project is under the Horizon 2 phase projects of the Modernization Program.^[130]

The main contenders for the project were the K21-105 Medium Tank of South Korea, The GDELS ASCOD 2 MMBT of Austria and Spain but offered by Israel, and the PT Pindad Harimau of Indonesia and Turkey for the tracked version units. Meanwhile, the contenders for the wheeled tanks are the Turkish Otokar Arma and the Pandur II based platform from Israel, all equipped with a 105 mm gun system.^{[131][132][133]}

On October 4, 2020, Elbit Systems revised its offer with the Sabrah Light Tank for the Army's Light Tank Acquisition Project, and still using the same platforms as before. The new entry for the acquisition project is also set to compete with the previous offers made to the Philippine Army.^[7]

On October 24, 2020, the Philippines has awarded the contract for the Philippine Army's Light Tank Acquisition Project to the Israeli company Elbit Systems and C4I. It is expected that the first unit would arrive at late 2021 and the completion of the delivery by late 2022^[7]

APC Acquisition and Upgrade Program[]

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.^[133] The main contenders for the project are the Anoa, the Pandur I, the Otokar Arma, the FNSS Pars, the VBTP-MR Guarani, the Hanwha Tigon and the K808 Armored Personnel Carrier.^[134]

On October 24, 2020, the Philippines has awarded the contract for the Philippine Army's Wheeled Armored Personnel Carrier Acquisition Projects to the Israeli company Elbit Systems offering the VBTP-MR Guarani 6x6.^[7]

There was a previous report from Thailand where in it was mentioned that the Thai government is nearing a G2G agreement with the Philippines to supply 200 units of First Win 2 4x4 wheeled armored vehicle to the Philippine Army to resist any ambush mostly landmines.^[135][136]

The Philippine Army has recently awarded the Elbit Systems for the acquisition of the M1074 Joint Assault Bridge. ^[137] The contract signing is expected at the 1st quarter of 2020.^[138]

Aviation aircraft[]

In October 2019, the Philippine Army activated its aviation regiment. In addition, the Philippine Army is planning to buy helicopters in the next few years to be used by its sole flying unit, which currently has fixed-wing aircraft for special aviation missions.^[139] The United States will be turning over rotary and fixed-wing aircraft to the Philippine Army as the ground forces intensify counterinsurgency operations to end the Maoist-led rebellion before the term of President Duterte ends in 2022. Washington has offered four UH-60 Black Hawk combat utility helicopters, four Bell AH-1 SuperCobra attack helicopters and five twin-engine, turbo-prop C-12 Huron planes for troop transport and medical evacuation.^[140] The Army, along with the Boeing Rotorcraft Systems are also in talks for the possible acquisition of the Boeing AH-6I light attack helicopters.^[141]
