Hill delivers F-16s to Indonesian government
Tuesday , July 15, 2014 - 3:54 PM

HILL AIR FORCE BASE — About 9,000 miles and six time zones separate Hill Air Force Base and Indonesia, but that distance hasn’t stopped the two entities from forming an unlikely partnership.

On Monday, Hill’s Ogden Air Logistics Complex delivered three of what will eventually be 24 F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft to the government of Indonesia.

The delivery constitutes the beginning of a nearly $700 million aircraft acquisition and refurbishment deal between Indonesia and the U.S. where Hill maintenance workers are upgrading the avionics and overhauling the wings, landing gear and other components on each aircraft.

By the end of 2015, the Ogden ALC is scheduled to deliver 21 more F-16s to the Indonesian government.

A single F-16C and two F-16D Block 25 aircraft were among the jets delivered Monday. The aircraft were formerly flown by U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard units, but had been warehoused by the Ogden ALC's Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group located at Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson, Ariz.

In May 2013, the planes were transferred to Hill when the upgrade work began. The initial batch of three F-16s took 15,000 man-hours to upgrade, said Hill spokesman Richard Essary.

According to the White House, the deal represents the largest transfer of excess defense articles in the history of the U.S.-Indonesia partnership, and will allow the Indonesian government to improve its air defense capacity without compromising its defense budget and other national priorities.

The deal will also “contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by improving the security of a strategic partner that has been, and continues to be, an important force for economic progress in Southeast Asia,” according to a Defense Security Cooperation Agency news release.

Deputy Undersecretary of the Air Force, International Affairs, Maj. Frank Taravella said the military relationship between the U.S. and Indonesia is growing rapidly.

In April, Hill hosted a visit with Chief of Staff of the Indonesian Air Force, Air Chief Marshal Ida Bagus Putu Dunia. During his visit, the Air Chief Marshal toured the Hill Aerospace Museum, F-16 production line and airspace and coastal defense radar facilities.

In addition to the Chief of Staff's visit, the Indonesian Air Force sent officials in June to observe one of the U.S. Air Force's premier air-to-air fighter exercises, Red Flag-Alaska.

Taravella said the F-16 refurbishment deal will ensure interoperability between the two forces into the future.

“This F-16 program currently stands as the flagship program of the defense relationship between the U.S. government and Indonesia,” Taravella said in a statement.

Indonesia's PT PAL receives orders for warships from foreign countries, Myanmar and Turkey interested in PT PAL.

(Picture: Indonesian-made Banjarmasin-class Landing Platform Dock made by PT PAL Indonesia with Pindad Anoa APC's made by PT Pindad)

JAKARTA, -- PT PAL Indonesia has just received orders from the Philippines for 2 Makassar-class LPDs, just after successfully launching it's KCR-60 Fast Missile Boat for the Indonesian Navy.

The company has also cooperated with a number of countries for the same purpose.

"There's already two countries interested in cooperating with us. On the 16th of July 2014, it is scheduled for a cooperation agreement with Myanmar, as well Turkey which also expressed interest in PT PAL's products" Edy Widarto, Production Director of PT PAL said in Surabaya, 15th of July 2014.

He explained, PT PAL Indonesia is the middle of cooperating with a number of countries among them, Turkey and Myanmar. "However, we haven't yet know what those countries need or interested in". said Edy.

Currently, PT PAL Indonesia have been making a number of commercial ships, such as tankers, ferries, merchant vessels, etc. as well as warships such as Fast Missile Boats, Frigates, Landing Platform Docks as well as Submarines in the future.

Myanmar have been reported to be interested in an Landing Platform Dock, similar to the one the Philippines ordered with a price tag of around $90 million. About the specific type of vessel that Myanmar will order is not yet confirmed. "Currently, we are still working on the Fast Missile Boat order from the Indonesian Ministry of Defence." he said.

In May, Indonesian Defence Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro stated that the government needed 16 KCR-60(Fast Missile Boat) and 16 KCR-40(Fast missile boat). Meanwhile, PT PAL is able to produce 3 KCR-60s in a year.

Deputy Defence Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin on his visit said the government is currently working together with a number of countries, by showing PT PAL Indonesia as the "lead integrator" which has a "combat system".

"In the year 2025, our military assets would be ideal. Currently, we need a more advanced defence industry, whether it's for ships, aircraft, etc." he said.

HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah, July 14 (UPI) --The U.S. government is well on its way to refurbishing and modernizing two dozen F-16 Fighting Falcon jet fighters for Indonesia.

The first three of the 24 planes refurbished under a 2011 contract were being delivered to the Asian country Monday (July 14). The remainder will be delivered by the end of 2015.

"This F-16 program currently stands as the flagship program of the defense relationship between the U.S. government and Indonesia, as their fighter aircraft inventory grows by 24 American-made F-16 aircraft," Deputy Undersecretary of the Air Force, International Affairs, Maj. Frank Taravella said. "Indonesia is receiving a completely refurbished aircraft, with astounding workmanship, and improved capabilities."

The Block 25 Fighting Falcons had been in Air Force storage at the Ogden Air Logistics Complex' facility at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona.

The Ogden Logistics Center in Utah began refurbishment there after Indonesia formally accepted a U.S. grant and committed about $670 million for the planes, the Air Force said. The bulk of the work, however, was performed at Hill Air Force Base in Utah.

A total of 15,000 man-hours were spent on each plane to upgrade the avionics, overhaul wings, landing gear, and other components.

Thts a good deal .. Any specs on the upgrade ?

I believe in previous post Indonesian member has already given it, in a raw look, the up grade will make them in par with F-16 Block 52. But the airframe is still using earlier block, thus better in close combat.

From TNI AU spokesperson

Upgrade The F-16 C / D 52ID is not serious, because the pursuit of equal ability with Block 52, especially the installation of Mission Computer MMC- 7000A version of the M-5 used 52+ Block, Improved Data ModemLink 16 Block-52, Embedded GPS INS (EGI) block-52 which combines the functions of GPS and INS, WarfareManagement Electronic System AN / ALQ-213, Radar Warning Receiver ALR-69 Class IV, Countermeasures Dispenser Set for release ALE-47 Chaff / Flare. While the ability of radar AN / APG-68 (V) increased in order to be able to support new equipment and systems are installed.

In air operations undoubtedly, this aircraft capability is quite powerful, for the affairs of air combat short-range missiles capable of carrying the AIM-9 Sidewinder P-4 / L / M and IRIS-T (NATO) as well as mid-range missile AIM-120 AMRAAM-C so that F -16 C / D 52ID air Force is not inferior to the F-16 C / D Block 50/52. As for the land and waters of the target aircraft carries a 20mm cannon armament, bomb MK standard 81/82/83/84, Laser Guided Bomb Paveway, JDAM (GPS Bomb), anti-runway bomb Durandal, AGM-65 Maverick missiles K2, missiles AGM -84 Harpoon (anti-ship) missile AGM-88 HARM (anti-radar). Improved Data Modem Link16 equipment allows the pilot to communicate without using only voice data communications with other aircraft or ground radar, marine radar or radar to fly.

The most important is this planes are equipped with the latest navigation equipment guide combines INS / GPS (EGI) so their accuracy is very high. Latest version of Head Up Display with big screen will be installed that is compatible with a Helmet Mounted Cueing System and Night Vision Google will become our completeness. The aircraft will also be equipped with sophisticated navigation and targeting pods like the Sniper / LITENING for combat operations like during the night in addition to able to carry out the mission supression Of Enemy Air Defence (SEAD) to neutralize enemy air defenses.

President to inaugurate marine HQ soon, says Navy chief
Fadli, The Jakarta Post, Batam | Archipelago | Fri, July 18 2014, 10:27 AM

(Illutstration: Indonesian Marine HQ in Jakarta)

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono will officially open the Marine Corps’ Infantry Battalion 10 headquarters on Setokok Island in Batam, Riau Islands province, according to a top Navy official.

“The President said the launch of the headquarters was just a matter of time. We will wait,” Indonesian Navy chief of staff Adm. Marsetio told The Jakarta Post on Thursday.

He said the launch was expected before October when the President’s term of office ended.

Marsetio added that the Navy had already started to operate some facilities at the headquarters.

The Navy also gave assurances that no objection had been filed by the neighboring government of Singapore, as the headquarters was located in Indonesian territory.

Marsetio was in Setokok to officially open the mosque in the battalion’s compound.

Marsetio said a company of marines had been assigned to the battalion with the specific task of maritime integration operations, armed with special equipment. The battalion, he added, was led by a lieutenant colonel with a special unit background.

“This is a composite battalion, a combination of the Navy’s special units,” Marsetio said.

He added that its presence was to secure the Malacca and Singapore straits from piracy and other marine security disturbances frequently committed in the area.

The infantry battalion headquarters in Setokok was scheduled to be launched at the same time as the official opening of the 2014 Multilateral Naval Exercise Komodo (MNEK) in Batam in March this year, but was canceled.

The launch was then rescheduled for June, but the President officially opened the Koran Recital Competition (MTQ).

Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa previously said no objection was conveyed by the Singaporean government regarding the establishment of the battalion headquarters in Setokok, which directly borders Singapore.

“No such objection was discussed at the meeting,” Marty said after accompanying the President during a meeting with Singaporean President Tony Tan in Batam last June.

Marty also said the two leaders had an annual forum for discussing bilateral relationship issues in detail, including military issues.

The battalion headquarters has been developed within the last year to strengthen security in the border region that has high conflict potential.

The establishment of the battalion was in accordance with the Navy’s strategic plan 2024 that will consist of three armadas, west, central and east. A similar headquarters will also be established in Natuna.

Covering 37 hectares, the construction was finished in 10 months. By February this year, all facilities at the headquarters were expected to be completed, including the helipad, shooting field and other supporting buildings.

Setokok Island is located some 4 kilometers off Batam and is connected to other islands in the region by bridge.

As an initial step, a total of 600 marine personnel will be deployed at the headquarters. They will be strengthened with smaller units with special capacities.

Sorry .. I was just lazy got the source :


WASHINGTON, Nov. 17, 2011 – The Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress Nov. 16 of a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Indonesia for the regeneration and upgrade of 24 F-16C/D Block 25 aircraft and associated equipment, parts, training and logistical support for an estimated cost of $750 million.

The Government of Indonesia has requested a sale for the regeneration and upgrade of 24 F-16C/D Block 25 aircraft and 28 F100-PW-200 or F100-PW-220E engines being granted as Excess Defense Articles. The upgrade includes the following major systems and components: LAU-129A/A Launchers, ALR-69 Radar Warning Receivers, ARC-164/186 Radios, Expanded Enhanced Fire Control (EEFC) or Commercial Fire Control, or Modular Mission Computers, ALQ-213 Electronic Warfare Management Systems, ALE-47 Countermeasures Dispenser Systems, Cartridge Actuated Devices/Propellant Actuated Devices (CAD/PAD), Situational Awareness Data Link, Enhance Position Location Reporting Systems (EPLRS), LN-260 (SPS version, non-PPS), and AN/AAQ-33 SNIPER or AN/AAQ-28 LITENING Targeting Systems. Also included are tools, support and test equipment, spare and repair parts, publications and technical documentation, personnel training and training equipment, U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical and logistics support services, and other related elements of logistical and program support. The estimated cost is $750 million.

The proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by improving the security of a strategic partner that has been, and continues to be, an important force for economic progress in Southeast Asia.

Indonesia desires the F-16 aircraft to modernize the Indonesian Air Force (IAF) fleet with aircraft more capable of conducting operations in the outermost border regions of Indonesia. The IAF’s current fleet of F-16 Block 15 aircraft is not capable of fulfilling that role, and the aging F-5 aircraft are expensive to maintain and operate due to diminishing resources existing to support the aircraft. The avionics upgrade will provide the IAF an additional capability benefitting security by modernizing the force structure, and enhancing interoperability by greater use of U.S.-produced equipment. Indonesia, which already has F-16 Block 15 and F-5 aircraft in its inventory, will have no difficulty absorbing these upgraded systems.

The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.

Indonesia requested the regeneration be sole sourced to the 309th Maintenance Wing, Hill Air Force Base, in Ogden, Utah, and Pratt Whitney, in East Hartford, Connecticut for the engine overhaul. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.

Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to Indonesia.

There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.

This notice of a potential sale is required by law and does not mean the sale has been concluded.

Indonesia – Regeneration and Upgrade of F-16C/D Block 25 Aircraft | The Official Home of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency


The MLU upgrade is much more extensive and expensive.. But these jets will surely be good ADFs I'm sure... Also it seems Indonesia reduced the upgrade order from 750 million to 670 million $?

hmm DSCA notice is only predicted/assumed price to be seen and approved by the Congress of USA before the contract got signed by the two party (it is necessary because those the way of US to approve FMS programme), thus they are including everything what they (US gov. side) think is needed in one of upgrading package project. In summary that's not the final prices.
