Teknisi TNI AU Akan Ditempatkan di GMF AeroAsia Selama Tiga Tahun
Juli 25, 2018 Berita No comments

GMF AeroAsia
ANGKASAREVIEW.COM – TNI Angkatan Udara akan menempatkan personel teknik perawatan mesin pesawat di PT Garuda Maintenance Facility AeroAsia (GMF AeroAsia) dalam kurun tiga tahun per satu kali penugasan. Personel yang akan ditempatkan dipilih terlebih dahulu oleh TNI AU berdasarkan kompetensi yang dimiliki.

Selain melaksanakan pengabdiannya di GMF, personel tersebut juga akan mendapatkan peningkatan kemampuan di anak perusahaan Garuda Indonesia itu.

Penandatanganan kerja sama antara PT GMF AeroAsia dengan TNI AU telah dilaksanakan oleh Asisten Personel (Aspers) KSAU Marsda TNI Anastasius Sumadi dan Direktur Human Capital dan Corporate Affairs GMF Asep Kurnia di Tangerang, pada 20 Juli lalu.

Aspers KSAU mengapresiasi tercapainya kerja sama ini yang sekaligus membuktikan dukungan TNI AU sebagai bagian dari kekuatan pertahanan matra udara. Dikatakan, TNI AU sudah siap dengan personel yang akan ditugaskan di GMF nantinya.

“TNI AU telah menyiapkan prajurit yang memiliki kualifikasi dan kompetensi untuk melaksanakan pengabdiannya di PT GMF Aero Asia,” jelas Anastasius Sumadi.

Senada dengan hal itu, GMF AeroAsia menyambut baik atas tercapainya kesepakatan yang merupakan simbiosis mutualisma dengan TNI AU dan telah dijajaki sejak setahun terakhir ini.

“Dengan perjanjian ini diharapkan dapat memantik lahirnya hubungan yang bersifat simbiosis mutualisme dari kedua belah pihak,” kata Asep Kurnia yang didampingi Direktur Business and Base Operation GMF Tazar Marta Kurniawan.

Dispenau
Sobat AR, seperti diketahui, TNI AU mengoperasikan sejumlah pesawat B737 baik di Skadron Udara 5 maupun di Skadron Udara 17 termasuk pesawat hibah dari Garuda Indonesia. Perawatan pesawat ini membutuhkan peningkatan kemampuan bagi para teknisinya.

Sementara GMF AeroAsia sebagai sebuah industri perawatan pesawat (MRO) yang memiliki cakupan yang luas di satu sisi juga membutuhkan personel-personel bantuan kedinasan melalui penugasan dari TNI AU. Selain jenis pesawat yang telah disebutkan, GMF AeroAsia juga memiliki sertifikasi untuk perawatan pesawat-pesawat lainnya.

Bagi personel teknik TNI AU sendiri, kesempatan penugasan di GMF AeroAsia akan menambah wawasan, pengetahuan, dan peningkatan kemampuan.

Saat mendengar seputar kemandirian industri alutsista, tentu ada rasa bangga dalam benak hati. Diantara bentuk kemandirian tersebut tercermin pada teknologi Battlefield Management System (BMS) yang dirilis perusahaan swasta nasional asal Bandung, PT Hariff Daya Tunggal Engineering (DTE). Bila di tahun 2015 serangkaian prototipe BMS baru diuji coba dan diperlihatkan ke media, maka kini ratusan ranpur lapis baja kavaleri TNI AD sudah mengadopsi teknologi BMS produksi dalam negeri.

US To Exempt India, Indonesia And Vietnam From CAATSA Sanctions

The United States Senate Committee on Armed Services plans to exempt some US strategic allies; India, Indonesia and Vietnam from Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) that allows the nations to buy Russian military equipment without any threat sanctions.

“The final piece of legislation will exempt just three countries—India, Indonesia, and Vietnam—from a robust sanctions regime enacted and imposed last year,” Sen. Jim Inhofe Republican Senator from Oklahoma, who helped craft the annual defense bill as part of the House Armed Services Committee was quoted as saying by the Daily Beast Monday.

“They are currently buying [Russian] equipment that has to be maintained until they make the transition, and those three fall into that category,” Inhofe said in a brief interview.

“That was us,” Inhofe added, referring to the fact that Congress, not the Trump administration, decided which countries can obtain waivers.

According to the defense bill’s summary released Monday night, the “modified waivers” will “exclude the possibility of waivers for Russian intelligence agencies and other entities engaged in cyberattacks.” Additionally, the legislation requires the administration to certify whether India, Indonesia and Vietnam can remain exempt from sanctions. That means those countries must show that they are sufficiently reducing their reliance on Russian weapons systems.

The CAATSA was passed to punish Russia for its interference in elections and its involvement in Ukraine. A section of the bill requires sanctions against those countries doing business with Russian defense industry.



Defense Secretary James Mattis, earlier this year had requested Congress to grant national security waivers to sanctions on countries that have historically had relations with Russia but are now leaning towards US to buy defense equipment, namely India, Indonesia and Vietnam.

But last week, some top senators were arguing against waivers altogether. Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), the top Democrat on the foreign relations committee, told The Daily Beast that expanding the waiver process "undermine (s) the very essence of those sanctions” against Russia, the Daily Beast reported.

But others, like Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-TX) and Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA), the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, argued that sanctioning India would drive that nation even closer to Russia.

“The Pentagon has made a very strong case that we need India, we want to build a relationship there and not cut it off,” Smith told The Daily Beast last week.

Well, it made a point. US cant afford to confront us over trivial things such as this one. The stake is too large and heavy, meanwhile for saving face i thing both side is trying to landing a deal behind the backdoor

Indonesia bargaining power today is in its strongest position since ORBA days, what we need is to play the political game nicely.

Some common sense from DC. Good to see.

Last time we got embargoed it just pushed us to import from Russia, China, and S. Korea. Also spurred our paranoia in developing our own Strategic Defence Industry. We have PT DI, Pindad, and PT PAL as rising stars partially thanks to American embargo.

CIRNOV UAD DAN TNI AD RISET RUDAL SASARAN UDARA
25 JULI 2018 DIANEKO_LC 4 KOMENTAR


Center for Integrated Research and Innovation (Cirnov) Universitas Ahmad Dahlan Yogyakarta bersama Dinas Penelitian dan Pengembangan Angkatan Darat melakukan penelitian dan akhirnya berhasil membuat rudal sasaran udara.

Dilansir dari laman Suara Merdeka (25/ 07), Peneliti Cirnov UAD Prof Hariyadi mengungkapkan, rudal atau peluru kendali merupakan senjata ampuh untuk melumpuhkan sasaran terbang. Senjata ini sangat vital sehingga harus dikuasai dan dimiliki negara. Karena itulah kampus menggandeng Dislitbang TNI AD membuat dan mengembangkan rudal kaliber 70 milimeter yang mampu menghantam sasaran seperti pesawat, pesawat tempur, drone, dan sejenisnya dengan kecepatan tinggi.

‘’Pembuatan rudal yang dapat mengejar sasaran di udara sudah dilakukan sejak tahun 2016 dan telah berhasil diujitembakkan tiap tahun untuk penyempurnaan yang mendapat dukungan dari PT Pindad dan Pustekbang Lapan untuk uji aerodinamik dan telemetri,’’ papar pakar fisika metrologi, elektronika dan instrumentasi tersebut.

Uji tembak rudal produk lokal tersebut merupakan rudal kaliber 70 dengan kecepatan tinggi yang pertama kali dibuat anak bangsa Indonesia. Selama ini uji-uji tembak banyak dilakukan untuk roket-roket balistik dalam negeri yang tidak mengejar sasaran.

Rudal ini merupakan jenis antipesawat terbang dengan kategori jarak dekat hingga jangkauan 4.000 meter dengan teknologi fire and forget, yakni menembak sasaran tanpa harus memandunya.

Ini sekelas rudal panggul antipesawat Strela buatan Rusia, Stinger (Ameriksa Serikat), dan QW (Tiongkok).

Menurut Hariyadi, rudal buatan UAD dan TNI AD memungkinkan bagian seeker (pencari sasaran-Red) mengunci sasaran yang telah dibidik secara akurat menggunakan deteksi pancaran sinar infra merah yang dihasilkan sasaran seperti pesawat terbang dan helikopter. Kemudian, bersama dengan subsistem kendali akan melakukan manuver gerakan untuk mencapai sasaran.

Cukup rumit sehingga di sinilah pentingnya penguasaan ilmu fisika optik dan material yang memadai untuk dapat membuat dan mengembangkan rudal.

Sistem kendali yang bergerak sangat cepat melebihi kecepatan suara dalam mengejar pesawat tempur tidak mudah dibuat. Hal yang harus diperhatikan antara lain aspek kestabilan rudal selama terbang, tekanan udara, berat yang berubah seiring dengan pembakaran bahan roket pendorong, juga respons seeker yang harus cepat sehingga diperlukan kemampuan penguasaan teknologi yang sangat berbeda dari teknologi kendali pada robot yang bergerak lambat.

Profesor yang pernah melanglang buana ke berbagai negara di Eropa dan Amerika Serikat itu menjelaskan sejumlah tahapan pembuatan rudal. Salah satu tahapan yakni uji karakteristik bahan propelan roket yang dilakukan di Lapangan Tembak, Laboratorium Disltibang TNI AD, Batujajar, Bandung, Jawa Barat.

Uji ini sangat penting untuk dapat mengetahi performa roket pendorong untuk rudal yang harus disesuaikan dengan sistem kendali yang di dalamnya. Ada bagian pencari sasaran, sirip, penyeimbang atau stabiliser, dan lainnya.

‘’Kami memiliki rencana besar pengembangan riset hingga produksi rudal kaliber 70 milimeter. Riset ini sebagai langkah awal untuk membuat dan memproduksi sendiri rudal antisasaran udara yang mudah dioperasikan, murah, antiembargo, dan sesuai postur TNI,’’ tandas Hariyadi.
