LIPI, Iran Electronics
to develop radar systems
Fadli, The Jakarta Post, Batam | Archipelago | Tue, May 13 2014, 9:47 AM

The Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) and Iran Electronics Industries (IEI) will join forces to develop and produce active- and passive-radar systems for civilian and military interests. The joint venture is the first of its kind in the telecommunications field, as out of the two, Iran is considered to have the edge in technological advances and transfer of technology.

LIPI telecommunications division head Mashury Wahab told The Jakarta Post recently in Batam, Riau Islands, that LIPI would work with IEI to develop and manufacture radar systems by collaborating with Indonesian company PT Dirgantara Aviation Enterprise. They will develop both active- and passive-radar systems. The passive-radar system detects signals from a different party, while an active radar system has the capability to resist enemies.

“Iran and Indonesia will work together in developing and producing the [two] radar systems. They will be used in the interest of the Indonesian Military’s [TNI] main weaponry system as well as civil aviation at commercial airports,” Mashury said. “Iran possesses the technological edge in this field, such as radius capacity of up to 500 kilometers. Iran also has good technology and components as they are used by more than 52 countries,” he said on the sidelines of the 3rd International Conference on Radar, Antenna, Microwave, Electronics and Telecommunications (ICRAMET) in Batam.

According to Mashury, the collaboration is expected to be realized this year, so PT Dirgantara Aviation Enterprise could immediately produce the radar systems. The products will be branded as “made in Indonesia”, while for military use, LIPI will convey the matter to the Defense Industry Policy Committee (KKIP) to be included in TNI’s main weaponry systems.

Meanwhile, IEI representative Ali Nasheer Ahmadi addressed the audience at the ICRAMET conference, saying that technology could provide security for Indonesia and Iran. “Indonesia and Iran, as Muslim countries, can work together to develop a variety of telecommunications technologies in the future,” he said. Based on a statement from LIPI, IEI is an Iranian state enterprise involved in technological development and employs up to 5,000 people

Is anyone know where the production line base for R80? Because it's made by different company right?not Dirgantara

 

[dlclong]

I personally think Indonesia should enter the BRICS, Indonesia is a rapid growth emerging countries.

PT RAI will be responsible in funding the project, designing (including using former PT DI engineers working abroad at Boeing and others), and marketing. The production itself will be conducted by PT Dirgantara Indonesia. I believe PT RAI will also use PT Dirgantara asset like labs since PT RAI office is in PT Dirgantara office building. The relation between BJ Habibie (former PT Dirgantara Director) and Ilham Habibie (former N-2130 project director) with PT Dirgantara is quite emotional. It is a good combination between a private enterprise with a state owned one.

So R80 will be build in Dirgantara assembly line then?

Thanks for the respon indos

Yup, that's why PT DI has a plan to improve its production line capacity. N-219 and R-80, combined, have already had around 200 preliminary orders. Current production line is not enough and has already been in a full capacity for present products.

Your welcome.

i am despise Habibie and his chrony, R-80 project is craps

i am despise Habibie and his chrony, R-80 project is craps

Why did you say thing like that ? I always like people who brave enough to set up a private company in high technology sector like them. Bringing an inspiration for many young Indonesian entrepreneurs. R-80 project has already had 125 orders.....

 

[Nike]

come on, it is Habibie want to push PT DI into another bullshit and craps project like in the past, if he want to starting their own private designer aircraft companies, i dare him to offer his project into another aircraft maker I am talking about financial constraint and current abilities of PT DI to go venturing into another project. They (PT DI) has been full at hand, N-219 project, KFX/IFX project, Airbus order and so on, and it is all about money and market research.

 

[Dante]

I have to admit that I agree with madokafc comment, if RAI is a different entity then they shouldn't burden Dirgantara with their production line, that's very unprofessional and abusive

Unless they can ensure Dirgantara share in the project and divided the profit equally

A friend of mine, former Dirgantara employee, told me that Dirgantara is too full with aircraft designers who only want to do designing and making prototypes and neglect the business side of a company
