i was in Indonesia end of noember. really liked itttt. you also make fish kebab with wood, liked it, sorry that its not part of it.
You might hae your own drone but making thermal amera, designing its mission omputer and so on is super hard
That was good. I rarely see Turkish in Indonesia, just one occasion I had a meeting with Turkish man, very respectful and polite guy. My friend also has business or work ( I forgot work or business) with Turkish man. My mother and sister had plan to visit Turkey just last year but because of my sister tight schedule, the plan was cancelled and change to China. Can you tell me more about your visit, is it for business, work, or vacation ?

Talking about drone subsystem, Indonesia also try to make its own mission system, flight control system, and SAR Radar. This is why there are 3 drone related program that enters National Strategic Program. PT LEN Industry, our state owned electronic company has been appointed to develop mission system and flight control while LAPAN (space agency) will make SAR Radar. There is also ITB (Bandung Institute of Technology) and BPPT (Gov Research Agency) in the consortium that will help the development.
PT LEN Industry has already made mission system for our UAV Wulung and has been operated since 2017. Here is the official PT LEN Industry website talking about that.

The task Today is to make one for MALE UAV and they are right now developing a prototype for that.
There is contract signed already.
Indonesia’s PT Len to develop UAV mission systems
Jon Grevatt, Bangkok - Jane's Defence Industry
03 February 2020
The Indonesian Ministry of Defence (MoD) has signed an agreement with local company PT Len Industri to support the production of mission systems for the country’s indigenously developed Elang Hitam (Black Eagle) medium-altitude, long-endurance (MALE) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
The MoD said the contract, signed on 30 January, will see PT Len Industri develop, produce, and integrate key systems into the strike-capable Elang Hitam UAV by 2023.
The work under the deal, the value of which was not disclosed, includes the “detailed design engineering” of the UAV; “technology acquisition documents” that will outline the technologies needed for mass production; “hardware in the loop” reviews and testing; and production of the UAV’s ground control station.

SAR Radar will be developed by LAPAN (Space Agency). Our LAPAN agency has close relationship with Prof Josaphat Tetuko Sri Sumantyo, an Indonesian who lead SAR Radar development in Japan and has his own Josaphat Microwave Remote Sensing laboratory in Japan. Our government has also had cooperation with him to make SAR Radar for micro satellite but according to my cousin working in Gov Research Agency, the cooperation is not continued and LAPAN will develop it independently.
He was formerly working in our Gov Research Agency (BPPT) for 10 years and until now is still having a position as Head Division Center for Remote Sensing (CRS) in Bandung Institute of Technology, our MIT version but it is state owned, as our best universities are all state owned.
You can see his research on his laboratory website

But according to PTDI engineer, first block of MALE UAV will still use subsystem from Spain.
Other subsystem that we cannot make will be subcontracted to foreign companies and of course Turkey will likely be considered, judging from our previous defense industry cooperation.
