“The procurement of (702) units of Rocket Launcher Light will fill-up the gap and raise the readiness rating of the Philippine Marine Corps in terms of firepower,” says in the bidding documents released by DND.
“This will not only enhance the operational capability of the Corps in the pursuit of Internal Security Operations but will also fulfill its tasks in the Territorial Defense Operations and Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response Operations to accomplish its mission,” it adds.
The acquisition also involves anti-personnel (14,040), anti-tank (8,424), and thermobaric (351) rocket propelled grenades. Practice ammunition (21,061) and training devices (40) are also included.
