This visit is also followed by Colonel Tech. Dedi Laksmono as Directorate-General of Defence Potentials at the Ministry of Defence (Ditjen Pothan Kemhan) officer.

This work visit is to present KFX/IFX program to Infoglobal. Bilqis Fitria Salsabiela, International Collaboration KFX/IFX, said that IFX/KFX program is a program from Indonesia government in cooperating with Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) to develop and manufacture KFX/IFX fighter aircraft. Hopefully, with this program, Indonesia could get Transfer of Technology (ToT) in manufacturing fighter aircraft. So, Indonesia can produce the fighter aircraft independently. Currently, KFX/IFX program enters its second year in Engineering Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase.

This program is also an inspection towards Infoglobal competencies and readiness in the development of KFX/IFX aircraft. By visiting Infoglobal, PT DI as Indonesian Industrial Participant (IIP) pointed by government through Balitbang Kemhan could depict about potential sectors and review the national readiness to manufacture fighter aircraft.

Infoglobal as one of defense industries capable of developing and manufacturing aircraft avionics. Ahmad Fauzi, Infoglobal Marketing Representative, in this chance, explains about avionics that are developed and made by Infoglobal. Those avionics are Miniature Standard Central Air Data Computer (MSCADC) that can been used on F-5. Digital Video Recorder (DVR) installed on F-5, F-16, Hawk 100 and Hawk 200 fighter aircrafts. Multi Purpose Cockpit Display (MPCD) and Inertial Navigation System/Global Navigation Satellite System (INS/GNSS) that can be used in Hawk 100/200 fighter aircraft. Rear Cockpit Monitor (RCM) used in Hawk 100. Also Weapon Control Board (WCB), Weapon Programming Instrument (WPI) and Radar Monitor Unit (RMU) that can be used in Hawk 200.

Infoglobal also develops mission system for Maritime Patrol Aircraft. The mission system is named Tactical Patrol Mission.

Not only avionics, Ahmad Fauzi also explains that Infoglobal also produce defense application, named Soyus Wargaming System used by Air Force Staff and Command School (Seskoau) to train strategic and military operation plans.

Besides that, Infoglobal also has competencies in radar data processing by developing Transmission Data Air Situation (TDAS). TDAS is a aircraft traffic monitoring system that integrates civil and military radars and this system has been used by National Air Defence Command (Kohanudnas).

Col. Tech. Dedi Laksmono said that with this inspection hoped the development and manufacturing KFX/IFX fighter aircrafts later can implement the requirement of Tingkat Kandungan Dalam Negeri (TKDN) that should reach minimum of 40%. Those can be implemented by involving domestic defense industries, one of them is Infoglobal.

(Antara/Jefri Tarigan)

A number of African countries have expressed interest in purchasing CN 235 and N 219 planes produced by state-owned Indonesian aircraft maker PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PT DI).

The two types of aircraft are on display at the Pavilion Indonesia of the 2018 International Monetary Fund –World Bank (IMF-World Bank) Annual Meetings in Nusa Dua, Bali, from Monday to Friday.

“Madagascar, Congo and Sudan have expressed interest. They are in the process of exploring a possible [purchase],” PT DI president director Elfien Goentoro said in Nusa Dua on Wednesday as quoted by kompas.com.

He explained that PT DI’s motivation for displaying its products in the Pavilion Indonesia was not to sell, but to showcase them to the delegates of the IMF-World Bank event from across the globe.

However, he said his company did eye the African market, because the CN 235 and N 219 were well suited to the geography of many African countries.

Elfien added that Norway had also sought information about the two types of aircraft, because the country needed planes with short take-off and landing to be operated in remote areas of the Nordic country.

PT DI currently managed to produce an average of 10 airplanes a year, he added.

Elfien revealed that PT DI would deliver four planes next year. Senegal had purchased a CN 235 plane worth US$25 million, Nepal had purchased a CN 235 with maritime patrol configuration worth $30 million and Thailand had purchased two N 219 planes worth $13 million each. (bbn)

JAKARTA

Perusahaan dirgantara Turki Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) melakukan kunjungan ke Badan Pengkajian dan Penerapan Teknologi (BPPT) di Serpong, Tangerang Selatan pada Kamis, untuk memperkuat kerja sama.

Kunjungan tersebut sekaligus menandai 10 tahun kerja sama antar perusahaan dan lembaga kedua negara tersebut.

Vice President Corporate Marketing and Communication TAI Tamer Ozmen mengatakan kepada Anadolu Agency bahwa kerja sama kedua pihak tersebut sudah berlangsung sejak 2008.

“Kerja sama dimulai pada saat pengembangan program pesawat terbang tanpa awak (unmanned aircraft vehicle/UAV) ANKA,” ujar Tamer.

Pada waktu itu, TAI melakukan uji coba terowongan angin (wind tunnel) UAV ANKA di fasilitas Indonesian Low Speed Tunnel (ILST) milik Balai Besar Teknologi Aerodinamika, Aeroelastika, dan Aeroakustika (BBTA3) BPPT.

ANKA merupakan pesawat terbang tanpa awak (UAV) kelas Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) yang dikembangkan TAI. Pengujian tersebut untuk memperoleh data karakteristik aerodinamika UAV tersebut.

Kemudian, Tamer menjelaskan pengujian kedua yang dilakukan TAI di BBTA3 untuk varian lain ANKA termasuk varian SATCOM pada April hingga Mei 2015.

Pengujian ini untuk mendapatkan data terkait efek dari perubahan bentuk (deformasi) sayap, SAR dan SATCOM, kamera, winglet, dan saluran masuk udara dalam karakteristik aerodinamika ANKA.

Selanjutnya, pada April dan Juni 2015 telah dilakukan pengujian ketiga dalam skala penuh untuk bagian sayap dari ANKA generasi terbaru. Dan pengujian keempat dilakukan pada Oktober 2017 untuk seluruh konfigurasi ANKA generasi terbaru.

“Keempat pengujian terowongan angin (wind tunnel test) di ILST telah berkontribusi besar terhadap pengembangan sistem UAV ANKA dengan performa terbang yang superior dan fitur keamanan yang meningkat,” Tamer mengakui.

Tamer menegaskan bahwa UAV ANKA kelas MALE memiliki sistem kecerdasan, pengintaian, pengawasan, dan penyerangan untuk bertempur yang sudah teruji untuk keamanan dalam negeri di Turki.

“Selain itu, ANKA juga sudah teruji untuk operasi pengawasan yang dipakai oleh berbagai end users di Turki,” imbuh Tamer.

Tamer juga mengatakan saat ini ANKA sudah siap untuk melayani misi militer dengan berbagai konfigurasi payload yang dibutuhkan angkatan udara dari berbagai negara.

“ANKA sudah memiliki pengalaman yang matang dan sudah terbang di Turki dan negara lainnya untuk aktivitas anti terorisme serta pengawasan darat dan laut,” ungkap Tamer.

Saat ini, TAI juga sedang berkolaborasi dengan BBTA3 untuk kelima kalinya dalam pengujian kapasitas payload sistem UAV di ILST untuk mendapatkan data karakteristik aerodinamika untuk pesawat terbang tanpa awak terbaru yang sedang dikembangkan TAI

“Kami sangat mengapresiasi kontribusi BPPT melalui BBTA3 untuk kesuksesan dari pengembangan barisan produk UAV kami dan hal ini sangat menentukan untuk tetap mempertahankan kolaborasi yang bermanfaat untuk tahun-tahun yang akan datang,” ungkap Tamer.


This article said, Indonesia since long had capacity and facilities to designing and testing any new Aircraft not even the Turks had the expertise to do so and they are collaborating with Indonesia Research agency to testing their Anka design. No wonder South Korean prefer to work together with us

INDODEFENCE 2018
Regional revival on upward trajectory

GÜNTER ENDRES
06 November 2018

After many years of delays and setbacks, interest in Indonesia's indigenous N219 Nurtanio regional turboprop aircraft, named by President Joko Widodo after Nurtanio Pringgoadisuryo, one of the country's foremost aviation pioneers, is accelerating, now that expected certification is only a few months away, tentatively set for April or May next year.

State-owned enterprise PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PT DI) (BUMNIP Pavilion) plans to deliver the first two aircraft to Thailand in 2019 and last month also signed a memorandum of understanding with Jakarta-based PT Aviastar Mandiri for 20 aircraft, which would be used to serve isolated locations in Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Nusa Tenggara and Papua.

According to PT DI president director Elfien Goentoro, interest has also been expressed by operators from Madagascar, Congo and Senegal as well as from Norway, where the N219's short take-off and landing (STOL) performance from short, rugged airstrips is particularly valued. Other customers are said to include Lion Air, Pelita Air, Trigana Air Service, Nusantara Buana Air and Air Born, adding up to a total of 120 aircraft.

The company projects a requirement for 276 units over the next 10 years, of which 96 will serve the local market. Production could start early in 2019, ramping up from a modest six units in the first year, to 16 in 2020 and 36 every year thereafter.

The N219, a joint venture between PTDI and the Indonesia National Aeronautics and Space Agency (LAPAN), is a 19-seat aircraft powered by two 850hp Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-42 turboprop engines driving four-bladed Hartzell propellers, designed for multipurpose missions from semi-prepared airstrips in remote areas.

It boasts what is claimed the largest cabin volume in its class, which, together with a wide cargo door, offers a multirole and quick-change capability to fulfil various requirements such as troop transport, medical evacuation, cargo transport, surveillance and search and rescue.

Under consideration is a float-equipped version that would be capable of linking major hubs with small communities on the more than 2,000 inhabited islands on the Indonesian archipelago.

The prototype, PK-XDT, made its maiden flight on 16 August 2017 at Bandung's Husein Sastranegara International Airport in West Java and will be certificated by the Directorate of Civil Aviation of Indonesia's Transport Ministry and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) after completion of the required 2,000 flight test hours. The purchase price has been stated at $5.8-6 million.

Earlier this year, PT DI signed purchasing agreements for other aircraft on its production line. These included two NC-212 Series 200 and one CN-235 Series 220 twin-turboprops for maritime patrol and surveillance for the Senegalese Air Force, and one CN-235 Series 220 military transport for the Ivory Coast Air Force, at a total value of $75 million. The Senegalese CN-235 will be delivered next year, as will a similar aircraft ordered previously by Nepal.

The company manufactures 10 aircraft a year from its portfolio, which also includes the NC212i, NC212i MSA (maritime surveillance aircraft) and CN295 tactical military transport.
