The 2024 Philippine Air Force Symposium at the Marriott Hotel

Powered by RedCircle

I went to a Government Institution last Month, and after I was done there late in the Afternoon, I decided to drop by the 2024 Symposium of the Philippine Air Force (PAF) at the Grand Ballroom of the Marriott Hotel in Pasay

I arrived there early Evening, and all the Defense Company Representatives were gone and the PAF was already packing up their Things, so I didn’t get to see much of anything.  

By the way, the Marriott Hotel is one large and pretty impressive Hotel, and so is that Area surrounding it, it is like a Micro Version of the Bonifacio Global City (BGC)

There were some Scale Models on Display, the most notable for me would be that of the T129B ATAK Helicopter, the TPS-P14ME Mobile Radar System from Japan, the FPS-3ME Fixed Radar System that was also from Japan. The PAF has all three of these Items in their Inventory. 

There were also Full-Scale Mock Ups (FSMU), notably what I think is the GBU-49 Enhanced Paveway II Guided Bomb, and the Advanced Precision Kill Weapons System (APKWS) II and Guided Advanced Tactical Rocket (GATR) Guided Rockets of the PAF. 

There were around a handful of Supplier Tables there also like the Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) where they showed a Scale Model of  what I assume to be an FA-50 block 10 as it was armed with Guided Bombs and equipped with a Targeting Pod, but no Aerial Refueling System. 

Interestingly, KAI’s large Banner Poster showed not just their FA-50 and KF-21 Boramae Aircraft, but also their Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T) Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) which is designed to work with both the FA-50 and KF-21. 

The FA-50 and KF-21 will control at least four of these MUM-T UAVs which can serve as Decoys, Jammers, Reconnaissance Aircraft or even as Missiles themselves, and it seems that this early they are already offering this to the PAF.
