TOO MUCH TALK ABOUT “WORK FROM HOME”

United Defense Manufacturing Corp. wishes to announce that, while we fully support the Community Quarantine and the checkpoints, the “Work from Home” scheme that is being actively discussed and encouraged on social media and broadcast media will not be implemented by our company for the simple reason that there is no way can our workers bring home the huge CNC machines to produce firearms parts. There is also no way that our workers will be allowed to assemble the UDMC rifles in their homes. Even the support services staff cannot simply work from home since Production will need supplies, money, food, etc. to remain in operational mode. We also cannot tell our customers (government and civilians) to wait until the crisis is contained before we can deliver our contractual obligations to them.

Therefore, what we have decided to implement is to reduce the number of working days starting this coming week. It means that we will continue to operate INSIDE THE MANUFACTURING FACILITY AND OFFICE but with strict health and safety measures, from MONDAYS until THURSDAYS. This reduction in working days will reduce the exposure of our staff to the virus by at least 20%.

If you must come to our office regardless if you are a civilian customer or from a government agency, you will need to be wearing a medical mask and be subjected to an infrared laser thermometer to check your body temperature. You will also be required to spray your hands with diluted Hydrogen Peroxide and/or 70% Isopropyl Alcohol. These are just a few of the measures that we will undertake starting tomorrow, Monday. MAKE SURE YOU CALL US FIRST BEFORE COMING!

The “Work from Home” scheme must always be qualified and clarified since majority of the workers are coming from the manufacturing sector. LET US ALL BE REAL BY USING OUR COMMON SENSE!

NIGHT FIGHTING SYSTEMS

An evening of NIGHT FIGHTING SYSTEMS with guest of honor Philippines Secretary of National Defense, DELFIN N. LORENZANA. The joint venture project between United Defense Manufacturing Corp and ASU Corp of USA will initially establish a facility to repair and maintain all night vision devices in the Philippines regardless of country of origin. The next stage of the JV is to assemble brandnew night fighting systems in the Philippines.

As we post this news, UDMC and ASU have just completed the upgrade of one of the presidential helicopters of the President into a night-flying aircraft with night vision instrumentation. The night vision goggles and helmets for the pilots were also delivered last week. And by the end of this year, UDMC and ASU will deliver spare parts for the refurbishment of the Philippine Army’s night vision monoculars.

S9-DBB COMPETITION MODEL

United Defense Mfg Corp’s S9-DBB (commercial or civilian semi-automatic model) is a pistol caliber model inside an AR-looking rifle chambered in the time-tested 9mm NATO round (9x19mm) and designed to hit point targets up to 100-120 meters. This S9-DBB model of United Defense take after the AR-looking rifle designed by Eugene Stoner but using the 9mm Glock magazine and other after-market 9mm Glock-style magazines. The S9 (and its brother F9 military sub-machinegun model) uses the very simple delayed straight blowback system influenced by the design of Ferdinand Mannlicher in earlier years. In this design, the breech block is delayed after the round is fired to make sure that the ammunition cartridge is fully supported while under high gas pressure. UDMC did not design the system using the rotary or roller delayed blowback as it believes it is unnecessary, adding more moving parts that will be subject to wear and tear while the weapon is in battery, specially on full-automatic mode.

“Blowback is a system of operation for self-loading firearms that obtains energy from the motion of the cartridge case as it is pushed to the rear by expanding gas created by the ignition of the propellant charge.”

Both the F9-DBB and S9-DBB models use a one-piece KeyMod picatinny rail handguard held securely only at the barrel extension which allows the barrel to “float” and preserve barrel harmonics while in battery. This allows for greater accuracy and consistency. As designed, the fluted barrel does not touch any part of the entire length of the handguard except at the barrel extension. For both models, the barrel comes in different lengths: 7.5, 10.5, 11.5, 14.5 and 16 inches. For special orders, UDMC can produce a lightened model that will reduce weight by another 10%.

The barrel is fluted, non-glare, matte finish, using the SS-410 stainless steel or 4150 carbon steel barrel made by UDMC from Bergara cylindrical blanks, and IS NOT CHOOSY WITH ANY BRAND OF AMMUNITION. It works very well with the Philippine-manufactured Armscor 115 grains 9x19mm ammunition!

The following features are not to be taken for granted when comparing with other designs:

1. The S9 uses a Bergara SS-410 fluted match barrel versus ordinary carbon steel barrel.
2. The S9 uses a ONE PIECE bolt and bolt carrier versus two pieces and it has an "open bolt" feature after the last round is fired. This OPEN BOLT feature is a very important SAFETY feature and a huge advantage in fast reload situations. Yung tinatawag na "Last Round Bolt Hold Open" (LRBHO) is very important. Yung S9-DBB has that feature both for safety reasons and for fast reloads. Dapat bigyan ng halaga yang feature na yan ng mga buyers.
3. The S9 uses KeyMod monolithic rail floating handguard versus plastic non-floating handguard.
4. The S9 uses Ambidextrous charging handle with a left and a right latch versus the ordinary left latch only.
5. The S9 uses Ambidextrous safety selector a left and a right knob versus the ordinary left knob only.
6. The S9 uses a 2-chamber Compensator versus the ordinary flash hider. This compensator tames muzzle rise.
7. The S9 uses Flip-up front and rear sights versus the ordinary fixed front sights and a heavy rear sight on the carrying handle.
8. The S9 uses an H2 tungsten buffer versus ordinary light buffer that aids in a more reliable cyling.
9. In the S9, the cartridge is FULLY SUPPORTED inside the chamber with no possibility for the cartridge to rupture at the base of the ammunition shell.
10. The S9 looks aesthetically like an M4, a preference for some shooters.
11. Most of all, the S9 warranty is in the Philippines and not in a faraway country. How can the warranty of a foreign brand be fully supported if their manufacturing is not in the Philippines?
12. The bottomline is that our S9 is not cheap but it has a better "value for the customer's money". The key words are "VALUE FOR MONEY". So when comparing prices, you also have to compare functionalities, safety, reliability, accuracy, other features, accessories and overall design. Now if the above features and accessories are not important to you and you want a simple home defense 9mm rifle, let UDMC know and they will build one for you at a much less price. Again, the one posted above is NOT a home defense rifle. It is a competition PCC carbine.

Defense Technology Institute

Delegates from the Defense Technology Institute, Ministry of Defense of the Kingdom of Thailand led by Major General CHARAT OUMSOMRIT, as arranged by Assistant Secretary JESUS REY R. AVILLA of the Philippines Department of National Defense, visited UDMC this morning and discussed a possible cooperation in the area of small arms manufacturing.

S7 SEMI-AUTOMATIC SNIPER SYSTEM (SASS)

United Defense Mfg Corp’s S7-PVAR and S7-DGIS are variants of the M110-SASS, Semi-Automatic Sniper System precision rifles chambered in the time-tested 7.62 NATO round (7.62 x 51mm) and designed to hit point targets up to 1,000 meters (MER). The S7 takes after the M110 battle rifle designed by Eugene Stoner. The S7 uses two action designs, the Direct Gas Impingement System (DGIS) and the patented Pneumatic Valve and Rod System (PVAR). The DGIS has a simpler design between the two as it has fewer parts and uses the hot gases coming from the gas port of the barrel and through a gas tube, the hot gases are rammed into the bolt carrier group to cycle the round.

The patented PVAR or Pneumatic Valve and Rod System are a “bare-bones, no-frills and very simple” designed gas and piston operating system that utilizes a combination of gas and mechanical energy for more effective and reliable cycling of the weapon. The PVAR design prevents hot and high-pressured gases from reaching the bolt assembly and the chamber. This results in a cleaner and reliable operation, as well as minimal maintenance even in the most rugged environments such as jungles, deserts, snow, and salt-water conditions.

This means reduced cleaning time and overall longer rifle life span. The S7-PVAR’s simplified parts and mechanism allow reduced recoil and reduced muzzle rise, which enables the sniper to refocus instantly on the target for each and every round fired! Furthermore, the PVAR allows the sniper to select if he wants to use the rifle in bolt-action mode or self-loading (semi-automatic) mode. Both the PVAR and DGIS models use a one-piece KeyMod Picatinny rail handguard held securely only at the barrel extension which allows the barrel to “float” and preserve barrel harmonics while in a battery.

This allows for greater accuracy and consistency. As designed, the barrel does not touch any part of the entire length of the handguard except at the barrel extension. For both the DGIS and PVAR, the barrel comes in different lengths: 14.5, 18, 20, 22, 24 and 25 inches. For special orders, UDMC can also produce the M110-CSASS or the “compact SASS”, with a retractable buttstock and with a barrel length of 14.5 or 16 inches for use by the spotter. The non-glare, matte finish of the stainless steel barrel is also an alternative to the standard carbon steel in black manganese finish.

Q – What type of ammo can your rifles use?
It can use any brand of M80, M118 and M118LR ammo. It can also use the commercial type of .308 ammunition.

Q – What are the maximum effective ranges (MER) of your rifles?
For the caliber 7.62mm NATO, 1,000 meters for the 22 inches barrel.
__________________________________
Maximum Effective Range (MER)
*To borrow a definition, MER is “The maximum range within which a weapon is EFFECTIVE against its intended target”. This would translate into the maximum range that the weapon could effectively put a man out of action.
______________________________
Q – What type of barrels do you use for the rifles?
We use only stainless steel 416 Premium or carbon steel in ordnance grade and duly certified from source or origin of the blanks as raw materials.

Q – Do you manufacture your own barrels?
Yes we do. We manufacture them from barrel blanks supplied to us by Dikar-Bergara from Spain. We are the Exclusive Distributor of Dikar-Bergara for all their products, barrel raw materials (blanks) including their bolt-action rifles in the whole of Asia-Pacific.

Q – What is so special about your UDMC barrels?
The Bergara cylindrical blanks are made from the finest carbon steel and 416 Premium stainless steel, used in the ordnance, aerospace and defence industries.
If other suppliers will claim that their barrels are SS-416, only a Certificate of Chemical and Mechanical Analyses can determine its quality. UDMC’s AISI 416 Stainless Steel PREMIUM ordnance grade barrel has contents of Vanadium, Nickel and Molybdenum which are not found on a standard AISI 416 stainless steel barrel. The net effect is that the UDMC-Bergara barrels have a yield strength of 780 MPa (versus 275 MPa of std AISI-416 SS) and a tensile strength of 920 MPa (versus 517 MPa of std AISI-416 SS). In terms of toughness, a UDMC-Bergara barrel is 73 Joules versus 34 Joules of the std AISI-416 SS.
The optimum combination of high hardness, yield strength, and tensile strength, along with the correct toughness, allow UDMC-Bergara barrels to withstand the generated pressures when the rifle is in battery, even with powerful rounds such as the .30 caliber precision rifles.
UDMC-Bergara barrels, compared with other stainless steel barrels in the firearms industry, are very hard steel which increases the mechanical properties of the barrels and it is fair to say that this is one of the best insurance from the safety point of view of a barrel. In addition to this, one of the differences of UDMC-Bergara barrels is the small grain size of its molecular structure thus guaranteeing excellent toughness. The homogenous microstructure during hardening and tempering provides a uniform hardness along the bar, producing a very uniform rifled bore, which is the key to accuracy of a barrel. The heat treatment, in combination with the precise deep hole drilling, honing and button rifling process results in a uniform finish of the bore under 0.0008 inches. The stress relieving heat treatment on the other hand, after the button rifling process, protects the bore from inside deformation after the tapering of the barrel. It also helps protect the barrel from heat generated after continuously firing several hundreds of rounds.
The same level of quality speaks of the UDMC-Bergara carbon steel barrels in durability, safety and accuracy.
Finally, the high chromium content of UDMC-Bergara barrels provides a good corrosion resistance to it.

Q – What is your warranty on the life cycle of your barrels?
20,000 rounds minimum under normal use.

Q – What raw materials do you use for the rifles?
We use T6-7075 for the upper and lower receivers, T6-6061 for the handguard (or thermoplastic) and buttstock tube. For metal parts, we use only 4140, 4150 and MIM-S7 for the small parts. Our barrels are made either of SS-410, SS-416 or 4150 Premium ordnance grade which has contents of Molybdenum, Nickel and Vanadium not found in other barrels which makes it double the tensile strength versus other barrels (FEBRUARY 15, 2019)

PHILIPPINES – KOREA DEFENSE COOPERATION

The Philippines and Korea have a very special friendship that dates back to 1951.

Upon the invitation of the Minister of Korean Defense Acquisition Program Administration, Minister Wang Jung Hong, and the Secretary of Philippines Department of National Defense, Secretary Delfin N. Lorenzana, on August 28, 2019, United Defense Manufacturing Corp. (UDMC) participated in the PHILIPPINES-KOREA DEFENSE INDUSTRY COOPERATION SEMINAR held at the Makati Shangri-la.

The following Korean defense industry heavyweights were in attendance and made their individual business and product presentations, namely: S&T MOTIV, DAEWOO SHIPBUILDING, HANWHA DEFENSE, HYUNDAI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, KOREA AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES, KIA MOTORS and LIG NEX1, among many others.

The objective of the conference was to foster a more vibrant defense industry cooperation between Korean and Philippines defense companies (B2B) including government to government (G2G) cooperation and the cross-sectional government to business (G2B) cooperation which will involve the sale and procurement of defense articles from the Republic of Korea including the transfer of defense technologies to the Philippines.

It will be recalled that the Philippines sent a contingent of soldiers to defend South Korea against the combined forces of North Korea and China in 1951. In fact, two of our Filipino soldiers received the TAEGEUK MEDAL (Korean Medal of Valor), the highest decoration given to a soldier for bravery in combat during the Korean War. These two Filipino soldiers are Maj. Maximo Young and Capt. Conrado Yap. The Philippines was also the very first country which established diplomatic relations with the Republic of Korea.

Because of this long history of alliance between the two nations, their defense industry collaboration is as strong as ever and has in fact reached a heightened level during the present administrations of Philippines President Rodrigo R. Duterte and Korea President Moon Jae-in.

Read more on the link below how our Filipino soldiers gallantly fought against the combined North Korean and Chinese forces during the Korean War in helping defend democracy and the South Koreans in 1951. And now, because of the rapid technological advances in defense achieved thus far by the Koreans, they are poised to reciprocate by way of making the Philippines their priority market for defense articles supply and technology transfer.

Thanks for sharing Jun Miranda Martinez.

ANOTHER ADDITION TO THE UDMC FAMILY OF MILITARY WEAPONS

Here is now the K3 machinegun, the younger brother of the K12 machinegun which we published earlier. Produced by S&T and marketed in the Philippines by UDMC.

The K3 is in caliber 5.56 NATO and has an effective range of 600 meters.

For government sale only to the AFP, PNP, PCG and BFAR.

LATEST ADDITION TO THE UDMC FAMILY OF MILITARY WEAPONS

This is the K12 machinegun, caliber 7.62 NATO (7.62 x 51mm) made by S&T and sold by UDMC in the
Philippines. Incidentally, just a few weeks ago, this K12 machinegun passed the Test and Evaluation of the PNP-Special Action Force, among others the 20,000 rounds endurance test. As you will note in the photo, this particular model can be adapted and mounted on both mid-size vessels and choppers. It has a maximum effective range of one kilometer.

For government sale only to the AFP, PNP and PCG. Maybe at some future point in time, this will also be for sale to our BFAR; which, according to Defense Secretary Lorenzana, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) must also be strengthened in monitoring the operations of Filipino fishermen in the West Philippine Sea.

UDMC TEAM VISITED CAMP O'DONNELL IN TARLAC

Last May 31st, the UDMC team visited Camp O'Donnell in Tarlac to meet with members of the Philippine Army who dropped by the camp for the opportunity. Thanks to some individual owners of UDMC rifles from the Army who volunteered to show and demonstrate their wares to their colleagues which added more fun to the "Test-Shoot". Thanks too to Col Leomar Doctolero, MTC Commander, for allowing us to use the Tradoc grandstand for the activity.

SPECIAL ACTION FORCE TAKES NEW DELIVERY OF UDMC WEAPONS

Another delivery by UDMC of locally-manufactured 1,760 units of the F5-DGIS caliber 5.56 NATO rifles to the elite commandos of the Special Action Force of the Philippine National Police. This delivery coincided with the 36th founding anniversary of the PNP-SAF last May 25, 2019.

Unlike foreign-manufactured rifles that have difficulty backing up their warranty program, UDMC’s warranty in case of general cleaning and/or repairs is a turnaround period of 24 hours in Metro Manila, 48 hours in Luzon, 60 hours in key cities of Visayas/Mindanao and 72 hours in far flung provinces in Visayas/Mindanao. Soon, UDMC will also be supplying belt-fed 7.62 NATO and 5.56 NATO Light Machine Guns to the PNP and the AFP.

The photos show the rifles before and during the final inspection and packing by the UDMC team of sales and production staff.

Incidentally, individual sales of semi-automatic models of our rifles designated as the S5-PVAR and S5-DGIS are still allowed for sale to ACTIVE individual members of the AFP, PNP, PCG and other Law Enforcement Agencies.
