Mitsubishi Electric Corporation will complete the delivery of air surveillance radars ordered by the Philippines, later this year. Speaking to Daily News at the ongoing ADAS 2024, a Mitsubishi Electric Corporation official said the deliveries of the air surveillance radars made by Japan’s Mitsubishi Electric Corporation will complete deliveries of the remaining two fixed FPS-3ME air surveillance radar systems to the Philippine Air Force (PAF) by next year.
Japan and the Philippines had announced a Government-to-Government deal in August 2020, for three fixed long-range FPS-3ME air surveillance radars with building facilities and one TPS-P14ME medium-range mobile air surveillance radar in a deal worth USD 103 million in.
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation is has already supplied two air surveillance radar systems to the PAF, one FPS-3ME and one TPS-P14ME. The sole TPS-P14ME mobile radar inducted significantly enhances the PAF’s operational capabilities by providing real-time situational awareness, early warning detection, and precise target tracking capabilities. TPS-P14ME is a mobile-type long-range air surveillance radar offering precise detection and tracking of multiple aerial targets. Based on the highly-successful J/TPS-P14 operated by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, the system is proven to be reliable in a wide range of operating environments and conditions.
According to information provided by the Philippine Air Force at the ongoing show, the FPS-3ME can detect ballistic missiles as far away as 540 nautical miles, maritime patrol aircraft at 350 nautical miles and fighter class aircraft as far as 200 nautical miles away. Entirely developed and manufactured in-house by Mitsubishi Electric, the FPS-3ME is a long-range 3D AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) air surveillance radar system capable of simultaneous detection and tracking of multiple aerial targets. The system is a new and improved version of the J/FPS-3, which has been in use by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force for over 30 years. The Highly reliable L-band air surveillance radar system offers superior range and ballistic missile detection capability.
The four radars are being acquired by the Philippines under the Horizon 2 Air Surveillance Radar System (ASRS) Acquisition Project.. The planned air surveillance radar sites will cover large areas of the Philippine Rise, Southern Areas of the country, and the Southern portion of the West Philippine Sea and allow the Philippine Air Force to provide optimal airspace monitoring, aircraft control, perform its air defence mission and enhance the security in Areas of Interest identified by the DND.
