Program: The Hari-Digma APC was a project of the
AFP Logistics Command in the 90s to create a locally-manufactured
version of the V-150 APC. LogCom developed two, local
prototype, which has a US-made engine and locally
manufactured components, cost per unit was Php 3 M as to
the V-150's Php 9 M price tag. The project was abandoned
after the Philippine Army decided to order GKN Sankey's
Simba ACV.

Program: The Kalakian (Water Buffalo) is a
locally built wheeled APC which was designed as a larger,
improved, local version of GKN's Simba APC. Developed in
the early 2000s as a joint project between PA's Light
Armored Brigade (later Light Armored Division) and
Steelcraft Industries, Incorporated of Manila,
Philippines, the prototype vehicle, presented to the
Light Armored Brigade in December 2002 featured a one-man
turret and rear gunner's position. The vehicle used a
commercially available transmission and other commercial
vehicle components, all intended to reduce unit cost. The
vehicle had an armored hull with the same thickness as
the Simba (12mm) equipped with two side doors and one
rear door. It can accommodate up to twelve fully equipped
troops.
It can mount a larger turret and a heavier weapons system,
the design was conceived to reflect the experience of
using the Simba in actual combat operations, including
having two side doors instead of the Simba's single one.
The turret was a modification of the Cadillac Gage 1-meter
turret found on V-150 armored cars also in service in the
Philippines. This turret was also produced in a modified
form in the Philippines by the Floro International
Corporation. The major difference was the incorporation
of an additional element allowing for the turret to be
armed with a .50 caliber machine gun, 40mm automatic
grenade launcher, and 7.62mm machine gun. The Cadillac
Gage turret could only be armed with 2 of those weapons
at any time. On V-150 and Simba vehicles the 40mm grenade
launcher was often added to the top of the turret. This
required the gunner expose themselves. The modified
turret allowed all the weapons to be fired from within
the turret.
Apparently the PA ordered 20 units, the status currently
which is unknown, most are showpieces in static Army
displays. The prototype vehicle was said to have cost the
Philippine government Php 8 M.

Program: The MX-8 Armored Escort Vehicle (unofficial
name, Barako or Wild Boar) was developed by Steelcraft
Industries, Incorporated of Manila, Philippines in the
mid-2000s as a low cost armored escort vehicle for the PA.
The MX-8 was said to be a 100% Filippino design utilizing
commercially available components. A 4x4 armored car with
mobility almost equivalent to HUMVEE with shorter turning
radius, a 1-man turret armed with a 7.62 mm machine gun,
it was intended to escort motorized infantry convoys
through hostile areas. This would free up heavier combat
vehicles for other operations and reduce the dependence
on improvised armored trucks then being used. The vehicle
was said to cost around Php 6 M, less than a third of the
cost of the GKN Simba, one of the PA's primary combat
vehicles.
Steelcraft Industries had also reportedly suggested that
the MX-8's roles and armament options could be expanded
depending on what needs the AFP identified. The initial
prototype (later referred to as the Mk 1) had been tested
with a .50 caliber machine gun or 7.62 mm M134 "Minigun"
in the turret, as well as unidentified "rocket
launchers."
In 2008 a Mk 2 prototype was announced with a revised
internal arrangement, a independent front suspension, and
various other minor modifications. Run-flat tires were
also installed as standard. The turret was modified to
have vision blocks all around, providing 360 degrees of
vision for the gunner. Perhaps the biggest change was the
increased ground clearance and installation of a V-shaped
hull design. The Mk 2 was developed as a private venture
and the modifications were not requested by the AFP.
A further improved Mk 3 appeared in 2009. It featured
another minor redesign of the hull shape. By that time
the 4 (2 Mk 1, 1 Mk 2, and 1 Mk 3) prototype vehicles
were already in service with the Philippine Army and
Philippine National Police.

Program: The PMC has produced a local version of
the HMMWV and called it the Marine Multi-purpose Vehicle
(MMPV). Sources say that it is a heavily modified
Mitsubishi Pajero (Montero in US), powered by the
Mitsubishi 2.8 L SOHC turbodiesel rated at 92 kW (123 hp/125
PS), transmission, chassis, and 4WD, with an electronic
transfer shift that could split power between both axles
without the need to stop the vehicle. It cost much less
than US-made Humvees, about P310,000 bare, with an
additional P35,000 for military equipment and
modifications. The Marines have been testing the
prototype with a M-40-A1 106 mm recoilless rifle that was
taken from Marine soon-to-be decomissioned M-151 jeeps.
While the Philippine Navy is negotiating for US-made
Humvees including several variants, the Marines will make
do with these local version. The prototype is currently
undergoing rigorous test to prove its reliability.

clandestinely as a point defense weapons, by National
Science Development Board (NSDB), Universiity of the
Philippines and German engineers, headed by Commo.
Protacio in Sangley Point, Cavite, the project developed
several experimental variants and was powered by a solid
propellant, anhydrous hydrazine, the one used in the 7.2"
hedgehogs anti-submarine depth charges aboard the PN's DE's.
Prototypes were test fired in Fuga and Caraballo islands.
The project was shelved in '80s. Status is currently
unknown, most probably abandoned, with the stored
propellants reportedly converted to cleaning agents by UP
experts, which NAPOCOR bought and used for their boilers.

fuselage by 2 meters. Wingtip fuel tanks were added as
well as provision for six underwing hardpoints and was
renamed Super Pinto. The prototype first flew in June
1968. The PAF bought the rights for the work drawings,
design and production of the aircraft from AJI in 1978
and had plans for the commercial production of the
aircraft and had it renamed Cali. After the Marcos
administration collapsed the project was shelved. Status

Unit cost: [bare MSSR] P120,000; [bare NFWS] P40,000
Program: Developed in-house by N-6 out of need
for a dedicated sniper rifle for the PMC MBLT-6 in 1996,
the current model is a third generation sniper rifle
derived from the M-16A1 5.56 mm rifle. The entire weapon
system consists of the rifle, hard case, Otis cleaning
kit, binocular and a variable 15-35 x spotting scope,
with the itself rifle painted Marine paint schemes. The
rifle uses PMC-manufactured match-grade 5.56 mm and 7.62
mm ammunition from Hornady reloaders acquired in 2005,
which can produce 1,000 rounds a day. These rifles are
used by the graduates of the PMC's gruelling Marine Scout
Sniper Training School. The Navy Night Fighting Weapons
System (NFWS) is also a derivative of the M-16A1 and
produced in-house by the Navy research and development
group, with an integral suppressor/silencer and uses a
Litton Model M845 Mk.II Night Vision Sight or the Night
Optics D-740/760 Advanced Night Vision Weapon Sight as
night gunsights. The NFWS is slightly heavier than the
MSSR.
