Hanwha Systems Co. will supply its indigenous combat management system (CMS) to the Philippine Navy in a deal valued at US$33 million.
The CMS will be installed in two 3,100-ton patrol combat corvettes, according to Hanwha Systems, the defense and ICT unit of South Korean conglomerate Hanwha Group.
The CMS, known as the vessel's "brain," is designed to integrate all equipment, such as diverse sensors, weaponry, and communications systems, into a unified system to assist combatants in countering threats more effectively.
In 2017 and 2019, Hanwha Systems inked similar export agreements with the Philippine Navy to deliver CMS for use in five frigates.
