WITHIN the next few months, commanders of the Philippine Navy ’s two brand-new missile frigates will now have the airborne capability to deal with unknown submarines running submerged beneath the waves and intruding into the country’s vast maritime domain.
“Both the JRCFs and the PN Wildcats were products of the 1st Horizon Projects under the Revised AFP Modernization Program, which were delivered and commissioned into service in 2020/2021 and 2019, respectively. The JRCFs were built by Hyundai Heavy Industries of South Korea, while the PN Wildcats were built by Leonardo Helicopter Limited UK ,” the post further said.
“The PN through the Naval Air Wing and Offshore Combat Force are taking steps to complete the integration of these game-changer assets in order to be deployed together in securing our maritime domain,” the post said. Before the actual deck landing, the ship’s crew and flight crew of the anti-submarine helicopter squadron had a series of lectures and workshops to ensure the preparedness and safety of personnel and flight deck equipment.
AS this developed, the PN announced that the two JRCFs are now equipped with countermeasures as protection for hostile missile and torpedo attacks. Chaff works by distracting radar-guided missiles from their targets by dispensing a small cloud of aluminum, metalized glass fiber or plastic which appears as a multiple cluster of targets in radar screens of the launching platforms.
“As insights, one of the unique identities of chaff and decoys as countermeasures against modern naval warfare threats is to confuse radar-guided or infrared-guided missiles fired so that they could be diverted. BRP, as a guided missile frigate, has launchers with each tube set at slightly different angles, so at least one is covering every position of the ship.
