Project BUHAWI – short for “Building a Universal Mount for Heavy-Barrel Automated Weapon Integration” – is an automated gun mount for heavy barrel Browning 0.50 caliber machine guns on small Navy patrol craft. It was developed in 2019 by the DOST’s Metals Industry Research and Development Center (MIRDC).
Key to DOST's realignment of the government's economic agenda is the development of “an entrepreneurial mindset," according to DOST secretary Renato Solidum.
Newly appointed Department of Science and Technology (DOST) secretary Renato Solidum Jr. assured the public that the current programs of the agency will be continued since they are already addressing the current administration’s priority concerns in pumping up the economy.
