The ScanEagle UAS will provide intelligence,
surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities to the AFP 71st Maritime
Unmanned Aerial Reconnaissance Squadron (71 MUARS) of the Philippine Fleet’s
Naval Air Wing, which will operate the aircraft out of Naval Station Leovigildo
Gantioqui, San Antonio, Zambales. 71 MUARS is the AFP’s leading unit for
unmanned maritime ISR operations.
“Transferring the ScanEagle system for
operation by the Maritime Unmanned Aerial Reconnaissance Squadron represents
the steadfast commitment by the United States to our partners in the Armed
Forces of the Philippines,” said Acting Deputy Chief of Mission Kelly.
“This new asset will complement the same kind
being operated by the 300th Air Intelligence and Security Wing at the Antonio Bautista
Air Base in Palawan, which is very close to the disputed areas in the West
Philippine Sea that need our consistent attention,” said Armed Forces of the
Philippines Deputy Chief of Staff Vice Admiral Erick Kagaoan, who was guest of
honor and represented Secretary of National Defense Delfin Lorenzana at the
handover.
“Aside from its primary use for ISR, the
ScanEagle UAS will greatly aid our organization in the effective assessment of
the subject areas, timely decision-making, and prompt action in the conduct of
territorial defense, internal security operations, as well as humanitarian
assistance and disaster repose,” said Philippine Fleet Commander Rear Admiral
Loumer Bernabe.
