Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) and the Indonesian government signed an agreement on 22 November to formalise proposed investment and workshare arrangements to support the development of the Korean Fighter Experimental (KFX) 4.5-generation fighter aircraft.

The agreement is framed by an accord signed by the governments of South Korea and Indonesia in October 2014 under which South Korea will pay 80% of the costs associated with the joint engineering and development phase of the KFX, with Indonesia paying the remaining 20%.

The newly signed deal, which in essence reaffirms Indonesia's investment in the project, will become operational once KAI formally secures the contract with South Korea's Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) to complete the development of KFX aircraft. KAI was named preferred developer of the KFX in March, and a contract to undertake the work is expected to be signed before the end of the year.

Under the terms of the newly announced agreement, Indonesia has agreed to invest about KRW1.7 trillion (USD1.5 billion) of the total KRW8.7 trillion in KFX development costs.

KAI said that in return for its investment, Indonesia's state-owned aerospace manufacturer, PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI), will participate in the design phase of the aircraft and produce unidentified components. PTDI will also secure rights to some areas of intellectual property involved in developing the KFX and have access to one of six planned prototypes.

KAI plans to commence manufacturing the KFX from 2025. Company officials have previously suggested that about 250 KFX fighter aircraft could replace the Republic of Korea Air Force's ageing F-4E Phantom and F-5E Tiger II aircraft and, ultimately, its F-16 Fighting Falcon platforms. KAI also expects to export several hundred KFX fighters to countries that include Indonesia.

The KFX is envisaged as a single-seat, twin-engine, multirole aircraft equipped with stealth features, active electronically scanned array radar, and internal weapons carriage.

PT Dirgantara Indonesia Director Budi Santoso said yesterday that he will send at least 200 Indonesian experts on next stage of KFX/IFX program. At the first stage of development that ended in December 2013, Indonesia sent around 65 experts that includes Air force personnel, legal team, and design engineers.

Budi Santoso also said that the fighter will be operational in 2020, but I guess the journalist misunderstand him, I rather interpret this as maiden flight at 2020 (according to the plan of course). The newspaper that quote him is the most credible one in Indonesia (Kompas) by the way.

Indonesian contribution in this project will be 50 percent at the end of the program according to Indonesian Defense Minister, Ryamizard Ryacudu.

With N 219 program that has finished making the prototype, more engineers can be brought to KFX/IFX program I guess.

“The jet fighter is expected to be operational in 2024 or 2025,” he said.“

PT DI will send a contingent of some 200 engineers to South Korea for the production preparation stage.”

He added that there would be minor differences between the KFXand IFX.“

The IFX will have a greater range as required by the Indonesian Air Force ,” he said.“For air refueling, the IFX will use a probe system while the KFX will use a boom system.“

The third difference will be the data link. South Korea will use the US-made Link 16 and probably develop their own while we will also develop our own.

”Budi said Indonesia needed its owndata link to allow communications with the Russian-made Sukhoi Su-27/30 Flankers heavy jet fighters.

Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) has continued its engagement with Indonesia in the development of the Korean Fighter Experimental (KFX) aircraft after signing a co-operation agreement with Indonesian state-owned company PT Dirgantara.

The deal was signed on 4 December in Jakarta by KAI CEO Ha Sung-yong and Budi Santoso, president of PT Dirgantara. Its aim is to establish the framework of closer ties between the two companies necessary to allow joint development and production of the KFX, as well as to promote collaboration in associated capabilities, such as unmanned platforms and commercial aerospace.

This follows a recent agreement between KAI and the Indonesian government on 22 November detailing investment and workshare arrangements in the KFX programme.

Budi Santoso: The President can be the company's salesman

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Aircraft manufacturer Dirgantara Indonesia has made known its disappointment at the government's plan to purchase an Agusta Westland AW101 helicopter, manufactured by British company Westland Helicopters jointly with Agusta from Italy. Ordered by the Indonesian Air Force, the plan became a hot topic public debate when it was reported that it was to become President Joko Widodo's mode of transportation when he goes on his 'blusukan', or unscheduled inspection trips, around the country.

Dirgantara regards the purchase to go against Law No. 16/2012 on the defense industry. The problem is that "something like that (the process) must involve the domestic industry," explained Dirgantara CEO Budi Santoso. Budi contends that his company is experienced in manufacturing Puma and Super Puma aircrafts. He feels the government would do better to order EC725 or Cougar aircrafts because they would be part of the Super Puma's development process, which is part of Dirgantara's program.

Following the prolonged polemic on the AW101, the information officer of the Air Force, First Marshal Dwi Badarmanto clarified that the plan to purchase the helicopter was not solely for the use of the head of state but also for the state's security purposes. "We also need the helicopter to transport troops," said Dwi in Jakarta, last week.

Budi Santoso recently met with Tempo reporters Jobpie Sugiharto, Tito Sianipar and Raymundus for an interview, during which the company's finance and restructurization director Budiman Saleh was present. In addition to the helicopter issue, Budi Santoso also spoke about Dirgantara's operations, including one order from the South Korean President's office.

* * * *



Are you disappointed that the Air Force plans to order a foreign-made helicopter?

For us, this would be problematic because the Air Force also buys aircraft from us. They ordered the fix wing (aircraft) from Dirgantara, because we are experts at making them. We still produce rotary wing or helicopters in partnership with other companies. This collaboration was initiated by Pak B.J. Habibie when we produced the Super Puma.



Are you saying it's alright for the Air Force to buy this presidential helicopter?

I don't mind it if it's in the interest of the President's safety. But wouldn't it be possible to involve the domestic industry? Because according to Law No. 16/2012 on the defense industry, such procedures must involve the domestic industry.



You are saying Dirgantara Indonesia was not involved.

Correct. The local content mandated by law is at least 35 percent. It doesn't need to be from one item ordered by the government. For example, if this item only contains a 5 percent local content, it means an additional 7 items must be ordered to meet the 35 percent requirement of the total value (of the order price). That legislation was enacted in 2012 and the government's implementing regulation, Government Regulation No. 76/2014, was issued last year. So it became official last year. If a Cougar had been ordered, we would have been able to take part, based on the criteria set by the government. That would take at least two years to produce. But this one seems like it's needed soon. If so, it would have to be ready-made. And that means they will take a ready-made AW (helicopter).



(According to Dwi Badarmanto, the Air Force has been using domestic aircraft, like the CASA 212, CN-235, CN-295 and the Super Puma. The TNI Indonesian military has also ordered long-distance transport helicopter like the Cougar, but to date, the process has yet to be completed.)



So this one will be a VVIP helicopter?

A ready-stock aircraft, formerly ordered by India.



Is it more expensive?

In fact, ready stocks are really usually cheaper. They are usually orders that were cancelled. The party ordering them probably paid a down-payment, which cannot be returned, hence the cheaper price.

PUSAT TEKNOLOGI PENERBANGAN


What I can say here is that LAPAN is more ambitious than PT Dirgantara Indonesia (under current leader) by seeing the fact that LAPAN will start ( under this plan ) N 270 design phase at 2017.

I better see collaboration between LAPAN and PT Ragio (and of course PT Dirgantara) to develop plane that will compete ATR 72. Despite being a private owned company, PT Ragio has many senior designers who has huge experience working in Boeing and N 250/ N 2130 program when they were still working at PT Dirgantara. One of PT Ragio owners (Ilham Habibie) is also a lead project on N 2130 program. PT Ragio is currently designing R 80 that has similar type with N 270.

Better we combine the forces.....

I can't say LAPAN is more ambitious, since it is their job to do R&D. Dirgantara Indonesia today is freed from the burden to provide capital for development of new aircraft. This is healty cooperation. And the goverment supporting this effort by providing enough money for LAPAN to do proper R&D for N219, N245, and N270.

I can't see how LAPAN will give up their N270 R&D fund for Regio R80. Can Ilham provide the money to develop R80?

The collaboration I suggest can be anything, it also means using Ragio designers as technical assistant of N 270 project as all are Indonesians. This also means shutting down R 80 project built by Ragio, and the program will be continued by LAPAN/DI/ PT Ragio.

By doing so we still keep improving our nation confidence and in the same time help our high tech private owned company beside the state owned ones.

(we must appreciate the ability of PT Ragio to bring back our senior engineers working in Boeing, and use this project to transfer knowledge of our senior designers who has huge experience abroad into LAPAN and PT DI junior designers)

I said LAPAN is more ambitious by comparing LAPAN plan with PT Dirgantara leader interview who seems to be not really motivated to compete with ATR 72 and want to stay in market below ATR 72.

I do agree that we need to combine this 2 project since they are targeting the same market. But that's mean, one of them (LAPAN & Regio) have to give in. Without proper funding Regio will not be able to realize their design. In the other hand LAPAN will be fully backed up with government funding, so they will be more confident to complete their R&D.

It's either they choose N270 or R80. If Ilham can secure the funding, then he have stronger case to win, but if he can't, he will have to let LAPAN lead the R&D.

Indonesia to Unveil First Local-made Plane after N250
Zoom Out Zoom In Normal
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - PT Dirgantara Indonesia, (Persero) or PT DI, today will roll-out the N219, the first plane Indonesia has made again after the N250, which was made in 1995. The N219 is the result of a collaboration between Dirgantara Indonesia and the National Aeronautics Space Agency (Lapan).

The roll-out—a term for unveiling an airplane for the first time—was supposed to be done in August, but the plane was only ready by November. The roll-out marks that the N219 prototype is ready to be introduced to the public,

Initially, President Joko Widodo was supposed to attend the unveiling ceremony. But Widodo had canceled his trip to Bandung, where he was supposed to open the 2015 Anti Corruption Festival and the N219 roll-out ceremony.

Dirgantara Indonesia president director Budi Santoso said that the N219 could mark the beginning of the revival of Indonesia'a aerospace industry.

"We hope it will help create synergy between industrial sectors and absorb skillful labor," he said today, December 10, as Bisnis Indonesia reported.
