According to a PR published by Rafael on August 9, 2023, the Israeli company has secured a contract to offer extensive maintenance support services to an Asian Navy that could be the Philippines.
The Typhoon, designed by Israel’s Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, is a remote weapon station. Its design fundamentals and technologies align closely with the land-based Samson Remote Controlled Weapon Station, also crafted by Rafael. The adaptability of the Typhoon is showcased in its diverse configurations.
The Typhoon, along with its lightweight counterpart, the Mini Typhoon, equip navies worldwide. These include the Israeli, Indian, Philippine, Australian, New Zealand, Singaporean, and Sri Lankan navies, as well as Singapore’s Police Coast Guard.
