To boost its maritime situational awareness capability, the
Philippine Navy announced that it will establish coast watch centers and
related facilities in the northern part of the country.
Maritime domain awareness capability refers to the ability
of a nation's armed forces to detect, monitor, and if needed, drive away
intruders on its territorial waters.
This was announced by PN vice commander Rear Admiral Caesar
Taccad.
No exact figures and locations were given for security
reasons.
"The (proposed) Maritime Situation Awareness System
will enhance the Navy's maritime domain awareness capability," he added.
Taccad said the strategic goal of maritime situational
awareness, as stipulated in our Active Archipelagic Defense Strategy, is to
ensure effective maritime information support in order to facilitate effective
decision-making for credible deterrence and support to national and regional
cooperation for maritime security and development and governance," Taccad
stressed.
The project is now undergoing pre-bidding, the PN vice
commander added.
