Thai private companies It was selected as number 1 by the Philippine government to produce 4 by 4 wheeled vehicle. 

Should be within reach of the national defense technology institute (NRSA) to be a leader in defense technology To meet the needs of the 'Thai Army' and its allies in 2021 by bringing research, production, development of military equipment. Push for self-reliance Significantly reduce imports from abroad

As soon as Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha, Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, together with the Defense Technology Policy Committee, has approved the principles of the production and sale of equipment, joint ventures and promotion of defense industry operations. T. with the private sector

By the first two projects It is the establishment of a corporate entity consisting of the widely used Unmanned Aircraft (UAV) project. Not only the Ministry of Defense There are also government agencies. The private sector is constantly in demand. Be it small, medium or large unmanned aerial vehicle.

Weapons and ammunition scheme Is the basic weapon of the body And there is a large demand of security agencies, with the NBTC found that the private sector in Thailand has the capacity Including design, manufacture, assembly, improvement, transformation, transformation, and the ability to maintain equipment That will be able to reduce dependence from abroad

While the other two projects Not joining the establishment of a juristic organization consisting of the latest Offshore Patrol Boat Project, the Philippine Navy Received budget approval for the implementation of the project for procurement of 6 offshore patrol vessels, which the Thai agency has a shipyard with potential to build this type of ship, which can build 6 ships within a period of 4 years, divided into continuation. 2 ships in Thailand and 4 ships in the Philippines

And the 4 × 4 wheeled vehicle project, with the Philippines determined a second phase of the Army Improvement Program (2018-2022), which has the need to supply vehicles. 900 wheeled armored vehicles by Thai private companies have competed and were selected as number 1 by the Philippine government to produce 4 by 4 wheeled vehicles. 

Gen. Preecha Pradubmook, director of the Defense Technology Institute, revealed that the meeting In addition to requesting approval for the principle of production and sales Also asking for approval PTT to be the representative to negotiate the purchase of equipment by the government to the government (G2G) because the government of the Philippines wants a government-to-government event. To prevent problems that will arise in the future

Thai private companies have the potential to produce 4 by 4 wheeled armored vehicles for the Thai Armed Forces and have been sold in many countries. Therefore, the NBTC has announced a joint venture for the manufacture of 4 x 4 alloy armored vehicles with private companies, thus promoting and supporting the national defense industry operations for the Thai private sector.

"A step from now PTT and the private sector will implement a systematic plan such as the 4 × 4 wheeled vehicle project after it has been approved in principle of production and sales. And as a trading agent By the way of the government to the government We came to make a business plan. How much will be in the first year? Year 2, how much if there is a risk or the production is not in time, who is responsible? Confirm that everything has been prepared, but the process has not yet been reached. "

Gen. Preecha further stated that before implementing all 4 projects, we must first look at the market whether there are clear customers or target groups. Such as unmanned aircraft PTTEP joint venture with foreign countries Which the country already produces and sells But sometimes he has some treaties that cannot be sold to other countries. And that he entered into a joint venture with the NBTC can be a sales channel to the country. Because the sale will be sold in the name of Thailand As well as weapons and ammunition projects Preparing to sell Middle East countries

“ NACC has an opportunity to promote the private sector. Employment was born in Thailand. Including acquiring knowledge Which we can only get with Investment, we have the law. While other departments can not Asked if there was a risk There was almost no sound. Because each country that joins the capital with Thailand He already has customers, but he just moved to production. "

Previously The research and development of national defense technology of the NBTC has been used as a prototype for the production of armaments. Ready to deliver to the army Put into the experiment, which truly meets the needs of use Only at that moment Not yet an industrial model Protect the country due to the law and budget

Until there has been a push for the National Defense Technology Act of 2019 with the objective To encourage development Systematic defense technology Since research, manufacture and use Which requires cooperation from other government agencies As well as the private sector

Approval on the principles of equipment production and sales, joint ventures, and promotion of defense industry operations for 4 pilot projects It is considered a success to another step for the Office of the NBTC because in addition to enabling the Thai military to be self-sufficient. Can also generate incomeinto the country as well. Source: bangkokbiznews.com
