PTDI Eyeing Philippine Air Force CN235 ASW Need

Our Bureau - : Sep 24, 2024 - : 8:20 pm

Following the meeting between Indonesian President Joko Widodo and Philippine Secretary of National Defense Gilberto Eduardo Gerardo C. Teodoro Jr. in January 2024, PTDI and Indonesia are poised to achieve a new milestone in the Philippines: the potential acquisition of CN235-220 Maritime Patrol Aircraft and Anti-Submarine Warfare (MPA/ASW) for the Philippine Navy.

PTDI is proud to announce its strategic collaboration with SCYTALYS, a leading software development and systems integration company with offices in Greece, the USA, and Singapore. SCYTALYS specializes in Mission Systems, Tactical Data Links, and Interoperability Solutions. This partnership aims to address the MPA and ASW needs of the Philippines.

“SCYTALYS is thrilled to enhance the CN235’s role as a versatile and cost-effective solution, meeting the growing demands for multi-role surveillance, maritime patrolling and SAR platforms. Our MIMS Airborne is a state-of-the-art, modular and scalable Mission System that combined with the CN235-220 from PTDI offer a unique solution for effective MPA/ASW missions”, said Dimitris Karantzavelos, President of SCYTALYS.

PTDI and SCYTALYS will work closely together, not only to fulfill the requirements of the Philippines but also to cater to MPA/ASW demands from other countries. “We are intensifying our efforts to make the CN235-220 more competitive, with the goal of securing new export contracts,” stated Gita Amperiawan, President Director of PTDI.

As an additional update, during the High-Level Forum on Multi-Stakeholder Partnership (HLF MSP) and Indonesia-Africa Forum (IAF) 2024 event in Bali weeks ago, PTDI signed a Framework Agreement with AD Trade Belgium for military business development involving the air forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Senegal.

This agreement includes the procurement of two CN235-220 Military Transport aircraft for the Congolese Air Force. Besides, five units of the N219 were also contracted at the same time by the DRC Government.

Similarly, at the Bali International Airshow 2024, PTDI is set to sign a Letter of Intent (LoI) with PT Indo Aviasi Perkasa for the acquisition of two N219 aircraft. This LoI underscores PT Indo Aviasi Perkasa’s commitment to purchasing the N219, reflecting confidence in the aircraft’s innovative and efficient aviation solutions.
