“Israel also offered assistance in the development of command, control, communications, computers and intelligence capabilities as well as the availability of excess defense articles for Philippine acquisition,†Defense department spokesman Peter Galvez said in a statement released Wednesday.
The radars will be purchased from state-run Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. – Elta for P2.6-billion. Security officials signed last week an implementation arrangement that would pave way to the purchase.
Part of the deal is the lending by Israel of one radar to address the Philippines’ immediate security needs. The delivery of the three radars is expected within the next two years while the radar to be lent will arrive in a year.
