00:00May dagdag na kagamitan ng Philippine Army na 100% locally developed ng mga Pinoy.
00:06Ito ay ang Project Cobra. Kung ano yan, alamin sa ulat ni Patrick DeJesus.
00:17Sa tulong ng isang remote-controlled weapon station,
00:21inasinta ng caliber .50 machine gun mula sa armored personnel carrier ng Philippine Army
00:26ang mga target sa isang capability demonstration sa Camp O'Donnell sa Kapas, Tarlac.
00:32Ito ay ang Project Cobra o ang controller-operated battle-ready armament na 100% locally developed ng mga Pinoy.
00:41Formal nang itinerd over ito ng Department of Science and Technology sa Department of National Defense.
00:47Integrated ng Project Cobra sa caliber .50 remote-controlled weapon station
00:51na nakakabit sa armored vehicle at equipped ng electro-optics with target-locking capability at ballistic computer.
01:00Gamit lamang ang isang joystick, maaaring gamitin ang Project Cobra na kayang tumukoy ng target sa layong hanggang 3 km.
01:08Kaya't sa mga bakbakan, mas matitiyak ang kaligtasan ng mga sundalo.
01:13With the manual, it's very dangerous for our soldiers.
01:18They are exposed to enemy fire.
01:21And with this, all the operations in manning the gun, firing the gun, will be done inside the APC.
01:33Huwag po kayong mag-alala. This Cobra does not bite.
01:39But it does strike with precision, stability, and most importantly, proudly Filipino engineering.
01:48Dalawang taon tumagal ang research and development ng DOST para sa Project Cobra na umabot ng 29 milyon pesos.
01:55Bukod sa pagpapalakas ng firepower ng Philippine Army, alinsunod din ito sa revitalized, self-reliant defense posture ng pamahalaan na layong matulungan ang defense industry ng bansa.
02:08Later on, we can compete also our local defense industry.
02:13Can also later on, aside from tayong sinusuplayan, with that capability na at par na sa ibang country's defense industries.
02:24Then, our local industry can also supply to our allies.
02:31So, malaking bagay sa ekonomiya natin.
02:33As we have learned from conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, supply chain reliability is of the utmost importance.
02:44Therefore, the implementation of the SRDP program through projects such as Cobra,
02:50not only brings economic benefits to our people, it also builds our resilience.
02:57Sa ngayon ay may isang unit pa lamang ng Project Cobra,
03:01pero target ng Philippine Army na lahat ng kanilang armored vehicle ay malagyan nito.
03:06Ayon sa DOST, may limang manufacturer na rito sa Pilipinas ang nagpahayag ng interest para mag-reproduce.
03:13Hopefully, once na nag-mature na ito, na-test naman na, successful ang testing, very accurate, precise,
03:22and sustained naman yung mga parts nito kasi most of them are locally available.
03:33The maintenance nito, even the soldiers can maintain it kasi tuturuan sila ng DOST.
