The Philippine Air Force’s (PAF’s)
longstanding requirement to procure a new close-air support (CAS) aircraft has
finally progressed, with the Embraer EMB 314 Super Tucano having been selected
by the Department of National Defense (DND) as the programme’s single lowest
bidder.
Speaking to Jane’s on 16 June, Arsenio
Andolong, the DND’s chief of public affairs, said the Super Tucano was recently
selected ahead of another unidentified platform. “There were two bidders,” he
said, “and after going through the process as mandated by law, Embraer was
declared the ‘lowest calculated bidder’.”
He said the bid now proceeds to the next
phase, which is post-qualification evaluation.
