Its nice to know that both Kostrad 1st & 8th Cavalry Battalion are regularly conducting exercises. The 1st Cavalry Battalion sharpened up their skills in Baturaja South Sumatera and the 8th Cavalry Battalion in Baluran Situbondo East Java.

That's a must....they are basically the jewel of the crown of all indonesian cavalry units.

Le Maroc intéressé par des blindés indonésiens

Selon le ministère indonésien du commerce, le gouvernement marocain a fait part de son intérêt pour des véhicules militaires blindés de marque Anoa et Komodo fabriqués par le constructeur PT Pindad.

Outre ces deux véhicules militaires, le Maroc s’intéresse également à des armes et des munitions fabriquées en Indonésie.

Lors d’une mission commerciale composée de 18 entreprises et 35 entrepreneurs de divers secteurs qui s’est tenue au Maroc, les exportateurs indonésiens ont obtenu une commande potentielle de 10,96 M$ de différents produits, mais cette transaction n'inclut pas celle potentielle du constructeur militaire PT Pindad.

Cette rencontre a été l'occasion de discuter des termes d'un accord commercial visant à faire du Maroc une plaque tournante pour les produits indonésiens en Afrique et de l’Indonésie un carrefour pour les produits marocains sur le marché de l’ASEAN.


Notons qu’n 2017, les échanges commerciaux de l'Indonésie avec l’Afrique ont atteint 8,85 MM$. Sur ce montant, les exportations non pétrolières et gazières se sont élevées à 4,86 MM$, soit une hausse de 4,17 MM$ par rapport à 2016.

Dans le même temps, les importations non pétrolières et gazières de l’Indonésie se sont élevées à 1,36 milliard de dollars, en hausse par rapport à 2016, à 925 millions de dollars.

Les principaux produits exportés par l'Indonésie sont l'huile de palme, le papier, les machines, les véhicules motorisés, le caoutchouc, ainsi que les produits alimentaires et les boissons. Alors que les importations en provenance d'Afrique sont le pétrole, le gaz, le coton, la pâte à papier, le fer et l'acier.

That's a must....they are basically the jewel of the crown of all indonesian cavalry units.

Could not agree more. They have been willing to expend lots of live munitions for training exercise, including rockets and artillery (both ASTROS and CAESAR), and some of the gun-based ADA (the venerable S-60, Rh202, and 23mm ZSU variants) which is good. They should do the same with their missile-based ADAs. So far, we've seen a live fire exercise of Grom, but limited to 1 firing instance. Have not seen any Rbs-70, Mistral, and Starstreak.

Come to think of it, no PGM live fire exercise has been shown by the Army beyond the single instance of Grom firing (it's searchable on YouTube). TNI-AD IMO is in a unique position where they can develop combined arms doctrine composed of heavy cavalry, light infantry units (the Raider qualed units), with air support/assault with PGM support (either Ataka or Hellfire).

With the Leos and Marders coming online with Kostrad, where will they distribute the Scorpions/Stormers? Will those stay with Kostrad, or will they go to the Kodam level? I thought the Army has a lot of Anoas going to the Kodam level instead of the Alvis family.

The Scorpions stay with the leopards...the 8th cavalary battalions for example (if Im not mistaken) operate both leopards and scorpion (as well as stormer)....IMHO they both represents the use of high pressure guns of the leopards for anti tank warfare combined with the low pressure 90mm guns for anti infantry and fire support role.

Btw speaking of those Ground based anti aircraft gun.....they had been obsolete since like the 80s. In the near future Its wise for the army to repurpose them in the fire support role by mounting in on trucks or other heavy mobility vehicles. Considering that most of the time our infantry and mechanized infantry relied on .50cal machine guns which put our soldier in a serious disadvantage when encountering an enemy armed with autocannons

Which one? The Rh202, the 23mm ZSU with Grom, and the L/70 are still viable short range ADAs IMO, albeit in medium to low intensity threat environment. The S-60, I agree, but I thought it's against the local law to retire those ..... .... Some might even say that it is sacrilegious .... LOL. Those have been in service since sliced bread, feels like.

Why not arm the ANOAs with bigger ordnance? They can even stay with 50 cal, but up-gun it to a GAU/19 version perhaps? The rounds are cheap, mechanism is similar to the smaller Dillon Gatling gun, so training for maintenance can be leveraged to some degree.

I dont think our near peer neighbor will risk their aircraft by flying low (in range of the 20,23mm aa guns)...australia,singapore and malaysia operate long range standoff weapons which render our AA guns obsolete.

STERNA flies for Indonesian Navy - The first Magnetic Measurement Mission by UAV

Tuesday, September 25 2018

For the first time, a drone has been used to check the magnetic signature of a vessel in order to assess its vulnerability against underwater mines and other unfriendly detectors. STERNA is the first UAV based portable aerial magnetic range used by a navy in operational conditions. The UAV based solution STERNA, has been deployed by the Indonesian Navy in July 2018.

STERNATM is based on ECA Group’s airborne drone IT180, a compact, high-performance mini-UAV VTOL (complementary to the VTOL UAVs of the higher categories) embedding a magnetometer and its digitizer. This system is a part of set-up degaussing systems in compliance with NATO standards.

3 Years: From innovation to operational concept testing

Developed by ECA Group in 2016, STERNATM is a portable aerial ranging solution able to measure the magnetic signature of vessels. This solution is an innovative patented system rewarded with the innovation award by the French Minister of Defence in 2016. The first contract for this innovative ship protection system was awarded in early 2017 (see press release from 27th February 2017).

Today, ECA Group announces a first successful mission at sea for Indonesian Navy.

2017 contract press release:

ECA Group awarded a contract by an Asian MOD for degaussing & UAV IT180 based magnetic ranging system

Monday, February 27 2017

ECA Group will supply Degaussing Systems and UAV IT180 based Magnetic Ranging Systems to an Asian Ministry of Defence through a Contract of more than 7 million euros.

ECA Group will supply Degaussing Systems and UAV IT180 based Magnetic Ranging Systems to an Asian Ministry of Defence through a Contract of more than 7 million euros.

The knowledge of the ship signature and efficiency of its Signature Reduction System is of prime importance to assess vulnerability against underwater mines and unfriendly detectors. To reduce the magnetic signature of Client’s vessels, ECA Group will provide and set-up degaussing systems in compliance with NATO standards.

To perform magnetic signature vessel’s measurement, ECA Group will deliver its patented portable magnetic ranging systems, called STERNA® based on UAV IT180 technology.

STERNA® is the best combination of an IT180 UAV and an embedded magnetometer and its digitizer. To perform the mapping in a horizontal plane of the vessel, STERNA® overflies the vessel. Data are analyzed and degaussing parameters are computed.

This ECA Group innovation was awarded by the Innovation Trophy during Euronaval tradeshow for their patent named STERNA®. This patent combines the use of an UAV (for example, the UAV IT180) and a magnetic sensor carried by the drone to measure the ship’s magnetic field.

Integrating a robust industrial design and functionalities, this innovative and cost-effective solution is adapted for Navies seeking for reliable, modular and fast-deployable operational tools in order to secure the vessel and the crew.

ECA Group estimates the market for this new technological solution up to 30 M€ for the next 5 years.
