AFP Modernization & Defense Acquisitions / Re: Retitled: BRP Teresa Magbanua (MMRV-9701)
« on: May 21, 2022, 01:50:18 AM »
MANILA – If given an opportunity or chance, Philippine Coast Guard Commandant, Admiral Artemio Abu, is keen to have 15 more 97-meter long multi-role response vessels (MRRVs) like the newly-commissioned BRP Teresa Magbanua (MRRV-9701) to fully cover the country's maritime territories.

This comment makes it 2 + 7 just like the 2020 PCG Acquisition Plan. It maybe possible that the Maritime Disaster Response Helicopter Acquisition Project (seven units) is still alive.

PCG Commandant Ursabia:

“We are pursuing procurement of seven more, hopefully this time so that we can deploy more helicopters nationwide. But it is still in the pipeline and still with the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA). We are hoping and praying that the procurement will be approved accordingly,” Ursabia told Daily Tribune.

Some scenarios:
a. seven H145 + two H215/H225
b. five H145 + two AW139 + two H215/H225
c. nine H145 (to sharpen TTPs first with the air crew and maintenance crew, before taking in other types)

Interesting to know where 1451 is. It is the one with FLIR and weather radar.

These large MRRVs do have helicopter hangars.

Quote
As a minimum, design load of helideck platform and hangar should be able to accommodate the maximum-take-off weight of the heavier helicopter listed below with a margin for heavy landing conditions/ factor of safety:

1) AIRBUS EC145 T2
2) SIKORSKY S-76C
3) AGUSTAWESTLAND. AW139
4) BELL 412EP

Mitsubishi ShipBuilding was issued a NOA last January 17, 2020 for the construction of two 94 meter MRRVs. Hopefully, no more issues so that the NTP can be issued right away.

In the 2018 PCG budget, they had an allotment for six 50 Cal. RCWS, but an image from PCG looks like they were "additions" to the RCWS buy.

If there is an ambiguity in the tech specs, almost every time, they say, just implement what’s in the latest Kunigami class variant.

Regarding the helicopter support equipment, the reference is the Gabriela Silang.

Besides the 40 units of 11.5 meter High Speed Response Boat project, the DOTr has a pending unfunded 16.61 billion ODA-planned (4.29 billion local counterpart fund?) project for 20 units of 27.3m Fast Patrol Crafts.

Latest information from the DOTr is that the first and second vessel is for delivery around March 2022 and June 2022, respectively, if there are no more delays. Bidding for construction is on-going.
