Space technology will play a crucial role in naval operations and other branches of the military.
“Here in the Philippine Navy, it is about time for us to consider the crucial role of space in our future naval systems in order to cope up with evolving challenges in the 21st century. Space technology is a new opportunity not only for the Navy but also for the other branches of service and the entire country itself,” Commodore Nichols Driz said during the third leg of the Philippine Navy Governance Forum (PNGF) Series 2019 held at PN headquarters in Naval Station Jose Andrada in Roxas Boulevard, Manila on Tuesday.
Driz, who is also head of the Naval Installation Command, represented PN flag-officer-in-command Vice Admiral Robert Empedrad in the event.
Lt. Commander Maria Christina Roxas, PN public affairs office chief, said the topic “Space Technology and its Significance to National Security and Development" was discussed by Dr. Rogel Mari Sese, the Program Leader of the National Space Development Program.
Around 100 naval officers, including Driz and Commodore Alberto A. Cruz, The Naval Internal Auditor, were present in the briefing which had Sese sharing the history of space technology in the country, the Philippine space program and policy, and the relevance of satellite technology for security and defense.
He also expounded on six key development areas of the Philippine Space Development and Utilization Policy: national security and development, hazard management and climate studies, space research and development, space industry capacity building, space education and awareness, and international cooperation.
These, according to Sese, are what the newly-created Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) will work on in the long run.
Roxas said Sese's presentation was followed with an ecstatic response from the audience during the open forum. Among the things discussed is how the defense sector can fully maximize the services of PhilSA for the development of national security and defense.
The PN, through the Center for Naval Leadership and Excellence (CNLE), conducts the Philippine Navy Governance Forum (PNGF) Series to serve as a platform to strengthen the culture of excellence and professionalism in the organization through the sharing of best practices on leadership, governance, and other areas of strategic importance to the Navy.
