Singapore Airshow 2018: Airbus looks to develop ISR derivative of commercial airliner with an eye on the Asia-Pacific
Jon Grevatt, Singapore - Jane's Defence Weekly
08 February 2018
Airbus is proposing to develop a military version of its A320neo commercial jet airliner and believes Asia-Pacific countries will be strong candidates to procure the platform.

Speaking at an Airbus media briefing at the Singapore Airshow on 7 February, Fernando Alonso, head of military aircraft at Airbus Defence & Space, said a military derivative of the platform would provide capabilities including intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), and maritime patrol.

Alonso said, “There is interest from a number of countries in this region. We have been discussing maritime patrol aircraft requirements with countries including Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines.”

Alonso added that the development of the military version of the A320neo (new engine option) will be based on Airbus’ experience of adapting commercial aircraft for military applications, such as the A330 MRTT (multirole tanker transport), as well as the integration mission-system applications on transport aircraft, such as the C295, which has been modernised for maritime patrol missions.

T129 sale
8th February 2018 - 01:02 GMT | byWendell Minnick in Singapore

RSS
Pakistan is planning to buy 30 T129 Atakattack helicopters built by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI), said Tamer Ozmen, vice president for corporate marketing and communications, at this week’s Singapore Airshow. TAI is very close to signing a contract, he said.

In December, TAI also received an RfI from Thailand for the T129 with the possible procurement of eight or more aircraft.

Ozmen said TAI is also developing a UAV that will compete on the international market for HALE surveillance missions, similar to the Northrop Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk. The aircraft will be able to reach an altitude of 15,000m using jet engines.

It is in the planning stages and the company is in discussions with potential international co-development partners, Ozmen said.

TAI is also in the R&D stage of the Anka II MALE UAV with the same body as the original Anka, except with extended wings and powered by two engines. The original Anka is powered by a single rear 155hp heavy fuel engine and has a maximum altitude of 9,000m.

The Anka II will be able to climb to 12,000m. Both aircraft have a 24h endurance. The payload will increase from 200kg to 750kg for the Anka II. Beyond the same sensor and systems payloads, the Anka II will also be able to carry two Mk 82 unguided bombs, he said.

Ozmen also said the first two Anka-S (SATCOM) UAVs were delivered to the Turkish Air Force on 1 February. He noted that all other Turkish armed forces are equipped with the original 200km-range line-of-sight variant, though the ground stations can extend it to 400+km.

On the international front, Anka has established strong cooperation with Malaysia’s DRB-HICOM Defence Technologies (DefTech) for a direct sale of the Anka UAV. This would be the first international sale, if approved.

Indonesia is also very interested in procuring six aircraft with two ground stations. Both Malaysia and Indonesia share challenging coastlines dotted with islets favourable to illegal maritime activities, such as piracy and smuggling.

400 HP engine on a 8 ton vehicle is an overkill... I hope they slap more armor to this beast making it a 20 ton MRAP. Modular armor would be nice.

Then the engine would be needing bigger torque.

CN235 is the beginning of TOT, Casa Spain (Now Airbus) teached and trained our Aircraft Industry (was IPTN / now PTDI) to design and make an aircraft, it looks like joint development.

C-295i is an under license from Airbus.

The CN-235 is a joint developnent between CASA & IPTN.

"The CASA/IPTN CN-235 is a medium-range twin-engined transport aircraft that was jointly developed by Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA (CASA) of Spain and Indonesian manufacturer IPTN, as a regional airliner and military transport.

The project was a joint venture between Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA (CASA) and Indonesian Aerospace (PT. Dirgantara Indonesia), formerly known as IPTN, which formed Airtech International to manage the programme. The partnership applied only to the Series 10 and Series 100/110, with later versions being developed independently."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CASA/IPTN_CN-235

The C-295 is the aircraft that is under-licensed from Airbus.

Sadly, many military and aviation magazines around the world are reporting that our aircraft is a mere under-license from Airbus. This prolonged reporting, for years, can change the world's perception, and it has. Does it bother PTDI at all? Bayangkan kalo kita diam saja setiap kali Cina bilang laut Natuna itu milik mereka. Tapi kita tidak tinggal diam. Nah, apa yang dilakukan PTDI terhadap artikel2x asing tentang status under-license CN235?

Hahahaha ..... Do you still think that those well known world magazine did not know the actual performance of PTDI ? ..

A more detail article of CN-235 from Air Force Technology site.

"EADS CASA of Spain and Dirgantara Indonesia (Indonesian Aerospace), formerly IPTN of Indonesia, formed the company Aircraft Technology Industries, or AirTech, to develop the CN-235 aircraft. Project teams in Spain and Indonesia simultaneously began the design work in 1980 and organised simultaneous aircraft roll out ceremonies in 1983. The aircraft took for its maiden flight in November 1983. The production version of the aircraft first flew in August 1986 and entered service in March 1988."

Eveyone knows in the aviation industries the designation letter N from CN stands for Nurtanio.

AFAIK for the CN-235 IPTN designed the wing, the tail section and the landing gear whereas CASA designed the main fuselage and the nose of the aircraft. Fortunately for me i saw the simultaneous roll-out of the first CN-235 prototype "Tetuko" live on TVRI.

No, I think that isn't a big deal and PT.DI doesn't have to bother in responding to that sort of thing. Since the use of "CN" designation itself has been shown to the world if that plane is clearly results of a joint development between CASA Spain and Indonesian IPTN., So whatever is said in those articles will not change that fact!

Yang daftarin ke EASA itu CASA bukan PT. DI.

Dunia melihat siapa yang mengajukan sertifikat approvalnya.
Kalau mau jujur sumbangsih PT. DI terhadap CN 235 juga gak lepas dari ToT C-212 dari CASA spayol.
Bisa di bilang sebenarnya semua design murni spayol sejak awal. Karena kandungan C-212 banyak di temukan di C-212. Tetapi di tangan PT. DI ilmu yang di dapat setelah mempelajari C 212 di aplikasikan ke platform baru CN 235.
Jadi sebenarnya gak ada masalah selama embel-embal Nurtanio masih melekat di situ.

Nah, kedepan walaupun PT.DI berencana minta tolong airbus buat dapat sertifikasi EASA untuk N-219, certificate holdernya harus PT.DI
