Hanwha Systems to supply CMS for Philippine Navy's OPVs

From Jane's (May 12, 2023): Hanwha Systems to supply CMS for Philippine Navy's OPVs (By Oishee Majumdar)

South Korea's Hanwha Systems has secured a contract worth USD34.5 million to supply its combat management system (CMS) and tactical datalink (TDL) for the Philippine Navy's new offshore patrol vessels (OPVs), being built by Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI).

Under the contract, Hanwha Systems will provide CMSs worth USD29.5 million and TDLs worth USD5 million for the six 2,400 tonne OPVs that the Philippine Navy will acquire, the company said in a media release on 12 May.

Hanwha Systems' CMS will integrate the various sensors, weapons, and communication systems of the OPVs, and facilitate quick and appropriate response from defence forces by enhancing their ability to analyse any situation or environment, the company said. The TDL will support communication of tactical information in real time, Hanwha Systems added.

Hanwha Systems had not responded to Janes request for more information at the time of publication.
