From here, we can gather knowledge and expertise about Turbojet Engine. In essence, the principle of Turbojet Engine is similar like gas turbine engine, in which one of PT Dirgantara subsidiary has some expertise on it. Recently they joined with Siemen.


Siemens ready to meet surging
industrial turbine demand

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Business | Fri, May 18 2012, 10:14 AM

PT Siemens Industrial Power (PSIP), a joint venture between Siemens AG of Germany and domestic turbine-maintenance company PT Nusantara Turbin and Propulsi (NTP), is ready to meet the surge in demand for industrial turbines with the opening of its steam-turbine factory in Bandung, West Java, on Wednesday.

PSIP president director Dierk Unterspann said the steam turbine factory would be able to produce different types of steam turbines for small- and large-scale power plants, textile factories and sugar mills.

“This new facility is another major step toward becoming the leading developer of industrial steam turbines in Indonesia to support not only the energy market but also various industries,” Unterspann said during the official launch.

Budi Darmadi, the Industry Ministry’s director general for high technology priority industries, said that operations at the PSIP’s factory were expected to help revive the country’s ailing and aging sugar and textile industries.

“This establishment comes at the peak of Indonesia’s sugar mills’ and textile industry revitalization. There are 3,000 textile factories in the country, most of which need to be equipped with turbines,” he said.

Starting from June, the PSIP will commence production of the Siemens Turbine SST-140; a single-casing geared steam turbine with a capacity up to 20 megawatts (MW).

The factory, which has an initial investment of about 12 million euros (US$15.21 million), is set to produce 60 custom turbines per year. So far, the PSIP has signed agreements with several companies to build six turbines.

Siemens AG has a 60-percent stake in PSIP, while NTP, a subsidiary of state aircraft maker PT Dirgantara Indonesia, holds the remaining 40 percent.

The plant mainly oversees final turbine assembly, while spare parts are made by local partners in Bandung, Jakarta and Surabaya. One of them is Bakrie Tosanjaya. The production design is in compliance with Industry Ministry regulations, which require a minimum 40 percent of local content.

Looking at the company’s contribution in supporting local talent, NTP’s president director, Supra Dekanto, hopes the government will allow them to supply turbines for some government energy-plant projects.

“Our products are aimed at supporting the government in the energy sector, such as its steam turbine geothermal project, which is currently being planned by the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology [BPPT],” Supra said.

Siemens sees the plant as strengthening their presence in the domestic market, amid the domination of imported steam-turbine products. The Bandung plant will allow the company to reduce its costs, conduct technology transfers to local engineers and create closer relationships with their customers. Moreover, the PSIP is expected to strengthen its financial performance.

“The energy sector contributes 37 percent of our global business revenue. Hopefully, the plant will be a successful contributor for Siemens in the regional,” said Siemens’s energy sector head for ASEAN-Pacific, Markus Lorenzini, adding that the firm was the world’s market leader in industrial stream turbines.

Prior to its collaboration with local companies, Siemens operated a power generation plant in Cilegon, Banten, which produces large-scale turbines and condensers for power plants. (yps)

The base design is nearly the same as Otokar's Tulpar IFV.

i wish they share the same basic design,

BTW i've got a recent updating news about Indonesian-Turkey cooperation

This SOE Invites Turkey Production "Marder Likes Tank and Cobras"



Subang - State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) and vehicle combat arms manufacturers Indonesia, PT Pindad (Persero) took FNSS Turkey to develop a new medium class Marder tanks and Cobra.

This program is one of the strategic plans of the government in producing the main weapon system (defense equipment) in the country. Early stage, and FNSS with PINDAD will signed project agreement next week.

"Next week there is an agreement with FNSS.'s Project agreement," said Director of Product Manufacturing PINDAD Tri Hardjono in Subang, West Java, on Friday (10/10/2014).

This cooperation will give birth to a prototype of medium tanks. Later the two countries will create a prototype that is 1 unit in Indonesia and 1 unit in Turkey. After birth prototype, the next process is to conduct testing and certification phase.

The process to produce prototypes, certification testing to take as long as 3 years. This means that mass production of the new medium tank performed locally in 2017.

"The money from the Ministry of Defense of Indonesia and Turkey," he explained.

Medium tank itself will have a weight of between 25 tons to 40 tons. Medium tanks are equipped weaponry canon models. Variant tanks with canon weaponry is a model of the hardest in the product tank

"Medium tank canon type is the most difficult variant. Terms of human resources is the connection with our co-operation with foreign parties. We develop our human resources and competence," he said.

In addition to cooperating with Turkey, actually PINDAD has made their own medium tank prototype in which has been original work of the engineers in the country. Forward to the results of the prototype will be synergized with medium tank development program with FNSS Turkey.

"Later we will combine the result," he said

So, what is the chance of PINDAD/FNSS medium tank to be inducted into your Army ? As far as I know you don't have medium tank yet. I believe your government will also try to help FNSS business as well.

I don't think so. But we have 170 Sabra Mk.II tanks. They are 59 tons but AFAIK they are used for the roles of medium tanks as well. The geographical location we live on requires mobile heavy tanks. Army Armored Divisions are totally focused on 1000+ Altay supplied by 400+ Tulpar AFV.

Sabra Mk.II a.k.a M-60T1:

As for Leopard. Aselsan have offered the Leopard 2NG upgrade package for current 394+ leo 2A4s. But no orders as of yet.
