Infoglobal visit to PT DI (11/11/2021)

On November 11, 2021, Infoglobal CEO, Adi Sasongko and his team visited PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PT DI), Bandung. The visit was in the context of cooperation on the integration of the Infoglobal mission system into the N219 MSA aircraft.

The agenda for this activity discussed the Infoglobal mission system, as well as the N219 aircraft which was specially designed as a Maritime Surveillance Aircraft (MSA). The Infoglobal Mission System, which was previously installed on the CASA NC-212 PATMAR aircraft, will be further developed for use on the N219 MSA aircraft produced by PT DI.

The Infoglobal Mission System has features that can strengthen the N219 aircraft's ability to monitor maritime areas. The detection and identification features of ship targets, as well as its ability to calculate dynamic target position, speed, and heading are some of the features of Infoglobal Mission System. Furthermore, Infoglobal Mission Systemcan also display SAR routes and send surveillance results to the nearest KRI or ground station . So that the surveillance mission can be carried out by the N219 aircraft effectively.

With this collaboration, Infoglobal is expected to strengthen the capability of the N219 MSA aircraft and increase the TKDN value (local content) of the aircraft. This collaboration is a form of defense industry collaboration to create the best work of the nation's children.

Indonesian Navy Turns to N219 as Nomad Successor

14 Februari 2014

Indonesian aerospace company PT Dirgantara Indonesia (Persero) officials have said an Indonesian Navy (TNI-AL) naval aviation unit is replacing up to 20 of its ageing twin-engine turboprop ASTA/GAF Nomad maritime patrol aircraft with Persero's N219 platform.

Speaking to IHS Jane's on 12 February at the Singapore Airshow, Persero spokesperson Teguh Graito said that the Indonesian government plans to replace between 15-20 Nomads from the Skuadron Udara 800 unit with the N219s. Senior TNI-AL officials have approached the company to discuss the acquisition but details such as quantity and configuration have yet to be finalised.

The TNI-AL's Skuadron 800 unit is in charge of conducting airborne maritime patrol duties for the country and has been operating the Nomad since 1975.

Well, there is big plan currently regarding Indonesia defense holding SOE with UAE SOE defense holding, we will see what will happen next, but according to latest news, the cooperation could be in term of JV.

We will need to see what will happen within 1-2 years ahead, currently the cooperation is only on small arm, between Pindad and one UAE company ( the one who bought German rifle company)

N219 Amphibious Aircraft Made by PTDI Ready to Fly in 2023​

PT. Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) is developing the Amphibi N219 aircraft. The aircraft made by the country's children is expected to do maiden fight in 2023.

"If it is in accordance with the existing timeline, this aircraft is estimated to be able to carry out its first flight in 2023," said Batara Silaban, Production Director of PTDI.

Batara accompanied the Deputy for Infrastructure and Transportation Coordination, Ayodhia GL Kalake on a visit to PT. Dirgantara Indonesia on Friday, (12/11).

Batara explained that the Amphibi N219 aircraft has a speed of up to 296 km per hour at a maximum altitude of 10,000 feet.

With a load of 1560 KG, the aircraft is able to cover a distance of up to 231 KM. Take-off for an altitude of 35 feet from the ground requires a distance of 500 meters, while from the water, the aircraft requires a distance of up to 1400 meters.

N219 Nurtanio For landing from a height of 50 feet, the aircraft requires a distance of 590 meters on the ground, and 760 meters for the sea.

"The maximum take-off weight of this aircraft reaches 7030 KG with a maximum landing weight of 6940 KG, with a total fuel capacity of 1600 KG," said Batara.

The Amphibious N219 aircraft is indeed designed to be able to take off and land on the water surface. Thus, this aircraft is in accordance with the characteristics of Indonesia as an archipelagic country.

"This aircraft has been produced by prioritizing TKDN (local content), so that this domestic work certainly supports the development of land and sea connectivity in Indonesia," said Ayodhia.

He added that the flexibility of this aircraft is capable of covering land, large lakes and rivers, to bays and seas.

In addition, amphiports (airports for amphibious aircraft) can be built more easily and cheaply compared to airports in general.

"This plane can be used for various sectors, such as tourism services, government travel services, oil and gas companies, public health services, SAR and disaster management, and surveillance of maritime areas," said Batara.

The largest market potential for the Amphibi N219 aircraft is in the tourism sector. The aircraft is also able to accommodate the 3T (Outermost, Disadvantaged, Frontier) Islands spread across Indonesia.

Various regions in Indonesia have the potential to use this aircraft, such as Lake Toba, Pulau Bawah Kepri, Derawan Island, East Kalimantan, Raja Ampat, Wakatobi, and Moyo Island.

Huge market potential is also seen, especially in Asia Pacific. Now, there are 150 active aircraft units and 45% of the total population has entered the aging period.

Although promising, the development of the Amphibi N219 aircraft is not without problems. The main problem faced is in terms of budgeting.

In planning for development until 2024, the budget is allocated through the National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN) and the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT).

With the change in organization, LAPAN and BPPT are included in the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) organization, it is feared that it will affect the development planning that has been determined. In addition to budget, other problems such as high corrosive levels due to landing in the sea.

The Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries asked PTDI to take an inventory of the existing problems, "We hope that later there will be further meetings between PTDI and various parties, both with BRIN, the Ministry of Transportation, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of SOEs," said Firdausi Manti, Assistant Deputy for Maritime Industry and Transportation.

KF21/IFX production facility in Indonesian Aerospace. The picture has been around since about 4 months ago but I dont post it here before I can get confirmation that robotic system shown on the picture really belongs to Indonesian Aerospace. Now I have got confirmation from Indonesian Aerospace engineer who involve in KFX/IFX program. The production facility hasnt completed yet, more money needs to be invested, but it is not just empty building/hangar like some member in other forum always claim.

The N219 (seen here after completing its maiden flight on 16 August 2017) was showcased at the Teknofest 2021. During the exhibition, PTDI and HAVELSAN signed an MOU to develop and produce a simulator for the aircraft. (LAPAN)



PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) and Turkish company Hava Elektronik Sanayi ve Ticaret A Ş (HAVELSAN) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to proceed with the joint development of a simulator for PTDI's N219 Nurtanio short take-off and landing (STOL) multirole aircraft.

The MOU was signed on 21 September by PTDI President Director Elfien Goentoro and HAVELSAN's Mehmet Active Nacar at the PTDI booth during the Teknofest 2021 international exhibition held in Istanbul between 21 and 26 September.

The agreement also includes avionic and system modelling, flight and engine modelling, and computer system and interface development, PTDI noted in a statement released on 22 September.

The N219 transport aircraft is a twin-turboprop transport aircraft offered for passenger, troop and cargo transport, maritime surveillance, and medical evacuation, all with quick-change configuration. According to Janes All the World Aircraft , the N219 is capable of carrying up to 19 people in its passenger configuration, up to 21 people in the troop transport configuration or 2.7 tonnes in the cargo configuration.

The aircraft, developed by PTDI in collaboration with the Indonesian National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN), formally received type certification in late December 2020 from the Indonesian Directorate of Airworthiness and Aircraft Operation, part of the Ministry of Transportation.

Well PTDI has already made the simulator for N219 as you can see in the end of this video, but I guess they want to perfect it by bringing Havelsan in it

Just for information, this Youtuber height is 177 cm, so we can see at that height he can still sit in plane comfortably

Indonesia should join Azm as in JV

Even with KF21/IFX program that has been on going since 2011, we are still difficult to commit with our financial commitment, let alone taking 2 simultenous program.

I don't understand how you are worried about the financial side Indonesia has 3.5trillion economy.. There is something called Tax make space for your defense budget by extra additional tax make these indo civilians spit out the money. Anyways I don't think it is necessary for you to spend many on this you just buy for each fighter jet after completion instead hence the deal could be where you send over 200 engineers that join up with our team of engineers numbering around 500-1000 already working on it

We have economic team that is powerful in making decision about budget. The first Jokowi administration focus is in infrastructure and village development, we also have law that obligate any administration to spend 20 % of its budget in education. Our economic policy is very prudent since experiencing monetary crisis in 1997-2000.

Jokowi at his second term (2020-2024) will try to concentrate to human development and in 2020 whole world gets economic crisis due to Covid 19 Pandemic, not an ideal situation to have 2 program which is expensive. But the need to increase R&D has been understood as vital by our Minister of Finance and this is why she has LPDP program in which the amount of budget for 2021 is around 1.7 billion USD. The budget is intended for scholarship in master and Phd degree and also for R&D.

I would say, if we can grow at 5-6 % next year until 2024 and we have fresh new young leader ( which is based on pooling and survey is very likely), then I think we have capacity to finance many R&D program which is expensive like R 80 program.
