These will be the tools in exploiting available resources in developing our own technological systems to address growing maritime concerns.
Fabic said that the PN thru the leadership of the Vice Admiral Jose Luis Alano decided to reactivate the NRDC (formerly theNaval Systems Engineering Center
R&D as one of the pillars of the PN’s modernization efforts is making its way through the initiatives of NRDC. With the current trend and advent of technology, absorption of new technologies will pave the way to be at pace with modern technological advancements.
Since its reactivation, the NDRC has already formulated strategies on how it can pull off its mission and vision particularly in carrying out its research activities and projects.
A major highlight of this strategy is involving people from the academe, government agencies, industry and foreign research and development centers.
