Indonesia will be acquire Arisgator for army?
If last year the Army is rumored to be buying M113 Arisgator that is M113 with amphibious abilities and operates from landing craft, the information received by Arcinc.id this time informed that TNI AD will definitely buy this M113 crocodile. This kind of news will make a fanatical ArcinC friend of M113 like Weka G. Cha Bi is very happy.
For the amount to be purchased and when this unique amphibious vehicle will be received, the info is kept tight. What is clear, the number was not much. The Army may still feel the need to evaluate the doctrine of the need for the Coastal Swamp Battalion (Ralasuntai) which is planned to be established for the outer islands' defense. The question of when will be accepted is also unclear, but do not be surprised if M113 Arisgator will appear in the anniversary of the TNI, either this year (hope) or even next year.
Just to remind, Arisgator is a modification offered by an Italian company called ARIS (Applicazioni Rielaborazioni Impianti Speciali) Spa. In the Arisgator concept. The basic idea is the modification and improvement of M113 in the floating and propulsion sectors so that M113 can be transcribed into amphibious landing vehicles.
To achieve this, there are a number of modified kits prepared, ie an additional muzzle on M113 in the shape of a ship's vessel (or even a crocodile muzzle) containing lightweight cork and rubber that can increase buoyancy, plus wave dividing panels that can be stretched while wading water .
A similar auxiliary panel affixed to the rear of the vehicle is also home to the waterjet system. A similar buoyancy buoyancy box can be caught on the left-right side of the Arisgator. At the top, the exhaust or exhaust is lengthened by using the snorkel on the right side of the roof. Grille for engine air intake is also given a higher cover of the vehicle so as not to enter the water when wading the surface of the river and sea.
For propulsion systems in water, two hydrostatic propellers are installed in the lower back with a large size, capable of pushing the vehicle at a speed of 5 knots on the surface of the water. This propeller system can be driven independently to make the Arisgator turn when maneuvering on the surface of the water.
This excellent amphibian capability allows the Arisgator to be used to perform amphibious landing operations, released from LPD ships to then swim, reach the surface, and fight. Modified Arisgator itself does not affect its maneuverability on land as compared to M113.
For armaments the same, Arisgator only provides dome and holder systems with waves splinting walls, plus stands for M2HB machine guns or 40mm Mk19 Mod. 40th grenade launchers. Palkes on the top side of the vehicle are also maintained for alternative access to and out of troops.
Overall, the M113 who is in an arisgator style is arguably similar to the LVTP-7 amphibious landing vehicle, but smaller in size. The figure is definitely longer than M113 in the form of a soapbox tube, and its amphibious abilities are well suited for amphibious landing operations or operations in the river and estuary channels. In Italy, Arisgator was given the official name of VAL and was used by the San Marco Battalion of the Italian Navy Landing Regiment.
