With a surfeit of defence-related shows and conferences filling the calendar year, companies have the unenviable task of selecting those which offer the best possibilities for sales and an acceptable return on investment. A recent report by global management consultants McKinsey & Company clearly reached the conclusion that Southeast Asia offers the next growth opportunity in defence.

“Following a sustained period of positive growth,” the report states, “many Southeast Asian countries are building up military capabilities, with an eye toward better protection of their assets, especially the shipping lanes, ports and maritime boundaries that are critical to exports and supply chains. They also seek to defend their territorial integrity in the context of a fast changing security landscape.

“Modernisation and replacement of ageing fleets and equipment is also driving much of this spending growth. In addition, many countries are today focusing on strengthening their local industrial capabilities, in a bid to end their heavy reliance on foreign suppliers for imports and services. The demand for defence materiel and the gap in capabilities present many opportunities for companies, especially those willing to partner and enable local manufacturing and research and development.”

The report continues, “While defence spending for the region is growing, the scale and pace varies significantly from country to country. Indonesia, for instance, has more than doubled its spending in the past five years.”

This trend is reflected by the continuing growth of Indo Defence 2014 Expo & Forum, which has an impressive track record since the first staging of the show in 2004.

The figures for this year speak for themselves. More than 670 companies from 45 countries, 25 of which have their own pavilions, are participating. These include Australia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Brazil, Canada, China, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, the Netherlands, Turkey, Ukraine, the UK and the USA.

A record 18,000+ trade buyers, including 545 overseas delegates, have registered for this event. But these figures alone do not tell the whole story. Around nine of every 10 exhibitors have rated the quality of the previous show as having met or exceeded expectations.

As Southeast Asia’s largest economy, Indonesia is in the forefront in the region in bolstering its capability to protect shipping lanes, ports and maritime boundaries and has sharply increased its defence budget since 2010.

Alongside the exhibition, the defence ministry will hold seminars to discuss opportunities available for co-operation on defence with Indonesian companies, and the local regulations that need to be taken into account for a successful implementation. “We want to promote to the international community all aspects of our defence industries, including the regulations,” said Dr Timbul Siahaan, director general for defence potential, at a press conference before the show.

“The 2012 defence industry law states that Indonesian firms must control at least 51 per cent of a joint defence project, and the other 49 per cent can be in the hands of its foreign counterpart,” he added.

The law is part of Indonesia’s visionary strategy to fulfil its Minimum Essential Force (MEF) objective, designed to provide the country with a strong defence industry by 2024. Since being implemented in 2010 with financial backing of 100 trillion rupiah ($8.25 billion), Indonesia has reached 40 per cent of its MEF this year.

The country plans to buy more than a dozen Russian Sukhoi fighter jets and domestically made, missile-equipped patrol ships, as part of a $15 billion five-year campaign to modernise its military. The budget also includes around $1.5 billion for missiles and helicopter gunships, including 24 more Bell helicopters and 20 Sikorsky Black Hawks. Indonesia is also strengthening its military cooperation with Japan, Spain and Turkey.

Indo Defence 2014 is the perfect showcase to target local requirements and those in the wider Southeast Asia region.

Anoa ready for specialist roles [ID14D1]
CHRISTOPHER F FOSS

The first 6x6 armoured fighting vehicle (AFV) to be designed and manufactured in Indonesia is the Pindad Anoa. The vehicle is being shown at Indo Defence this year in many configurations, including one for the armoured personnel carrier (APC) role (outside Hall A).

Now in service with Indonesia in significant numbers, Anoa features an all-welded steel monocoque hull that is stated to provide ballistic protection to NATO STANAG 4569 Level 3 standard. In the baseline APC configuration, Anoa has a crew of three, consisting of commander, driver and gunner, and carries 10 dismounts.

The commander and driver are seated at the front of the hull, with the powerpack to their immediate rear on the right side and the troop compartment extending to the rear. Anoa is normally fitted with a protected weapon station armed with a 7.62mm or 12.7mm machine gun or a 40mm automatic grenade launcher.

There is normally another roof-mounted machine gun at the rear and two banks of three 66mm electrically operated grenade launchers fitted covering the frontal arc. If required, heavier weapon systems can be fitted, including various turrets armed with medium-calibre cannon.

The powerpack comprises a Renault 320hp turbocharged diesel coupled to a ZF six-speed automatic transmission. This enables a top road speed of 100km/h and a maximum range of 600km.

More specialised versions of the Anoa developed so far by Pindad include ambulance, command, cargo, 81mm mortar-carrier and recovery, with the latter being fitted with a winch and crane for its more specialised role. Some of these variants, for example the ambulance, have a raised roof line to the rear of the engine compartment for increased volume.

The baseline Anoa is not amphibious, but at Indo Defence 2014 an amphibious version is being shown, propelled in the water by two large water jets mounted one either side at the rear.

Standard equipment for the vehicle includes an air-conditioning system, powered steering on the front four wheels and run-flat tyres but, as usual, there are many options, such as winch, fire detection and suppression system and blast-attenuating seats.

Pindad has been offering Anoa on the export market for several years now that it is in quantity production, but so far no sales have been announced.

PT Pindad Badak breaks cover
Today 12:56
Indonesian armoured vehicle manufacturer PT Pindad is exhibiting a version of its 6x6 Anoa APC integrated with a full CMI Defence 90mm turret for the first time at IndoDefence. The vehicle has been christened the Badak by the government.

In September the two companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collaborate on the development of military vehicle weapons systems.

Belgian company, CMI Defence, has agreed to transfer technology and expertise to PT Pindad under the terms of the MoU. The latter will then licence manufacture and integrate CMI weapons systems onto its military vehicles.

The vehicle on display is fitted with a Cockerill CSE 90 LP (low pressure) gun integrated on a two man turret. In 2009 the Indonesian Army signed a contract with Doosan for 22 Tarantula armoured combat vehicles, which mounts the CSE90 turret on the South Korean company’s 6x6 Black Fox APC. Doosan announced completion of the vehicles in May 2013.

However, a government mandate means that the army must purchase a domestic alternative if available, which will give PT Pindad’s Anoa preference. There is believed to an undisclosed mandated minimum number of vehicles to be ordered but the expectation is that the army will buy hundreds.

The two companies are expected to sign a full partnership agreement formalising the MoU on 6 November. The agreement covers CMI-designed systems ranging in calibre from 25mm to 105mm. As well as the Anoa, PT Pindad will also look at integrating systems on its 4x4 Komodo tactical vehicle.

Patrick Ledig, CMI Defence’s regional manager, told Shephard that he expects PT Pindad to begin manufacture of the turret in January and that the company expects to transfer some production to Indonesia for other customers as the company wins business.

The agreement marks the continuation of the Indonesian defence company's strategy to develop capabilities through partnerships with international partners a senior PT Pindad official told Shephard.

The Anoa was publicly unveiled in November 2008 and PT Pindad has built an estimated 150 for the Indonesian army. In addition, Brunei ordered 15 vehicles in 2011 and East Timor has bought four. Several countries in the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region have been cited as potential export customers.

PT Pindad displayed the Anoa at the DSA exhibition in Malaysia in 2012 as a contender for a Malaysian Army UOR.

Indonesian APCs are typically fitted with a protected weapon station which can be armed with a 40mm automatic grenade launcher, .50cal heavy machine gun or similar weapon. The vehicle has also been displayed fitted with a RCWS.

PT Pindad has proposed a complete family of Anoa variants including APC, IFV, reconnaissance, fire support, mortar carrier, ambulance, recovery, and logistics carrier.

The strong presence of LIG Nex1 Co Ltd (Hall A, Stand 033), one of the leading defence companies in the Republic of Korea, reflects the fact that Indonesia was its first export customer and, since 2006, has continued to strengthen the relationship between the two countries. In 2013, the company opened a branch office in Indonesia to assist in expanding Indonesia’s defence capabilities through substantial technology transfers, weapon improvement projects and munitions support.

Chief executive Hyokoo Lee has expressed his strong commitment towards the Indonesian market.

“It is true that we [the Korean defence industry] still have a long way to go. But it is also true that we’ve been very successful in our previous attempts to develop the most sophisticated defence products. I strongly believe that we are now ready to take our next step and expand our presence in the Indonesian market.”

Among its varied products and systems, LIG Nex1 is highlighting its latest C-Star ship-to-ship missile, the Raybolt third-generation anti-tank guided missile, the portable surface-to-air missile Chiron, and the Blue Shark, a lightweight torpedo. The completely automated C-Star was developed jointly with the Agency for Defence Development and has proven superior hit probability in live fire tests.

It is provided with sea-skimming capability, waypoints, and pop-up attack, to ensure guaranteed hits.

The Blue Shark torpedo can be launched from surface ships, ASW helicopters, and maritime patrol aircraft, and has been operated by the Korean Navy since 2005. Using beam-steering technology, Blue Shark transmits an acoustic wave to detect, track and engage hostile underwater targets.

The 1.6m-long Chiron portable guided missile can neutralise aircraft and helicopters at a range of up to 7km and an altitude of 35,000m, at a speed of Mach 2.0. Weighing only 16kg, its reduced size and weight significantly improve mobility. The infrared homing technology makes it unnecessary for the shooter to align the missile with the target. Raybolt, a third-generation, smokeless anti-tank missile for infantry units, also uses fire-and-forget technology.

Other precision-guided munitions include the short-range air-to-air Pegasus and medium-range K-SAM missiles, the Red Shark anti-submarine missile, and the wire-guided heavyweight torpedo. LIG Nex1 also has electronic warfare systems, combat network radio systems, and the LRS-450 long-range surveillance radar in its armour.

Missile pairing pitched to Indonesian Navy [ID14D1]

European guided weapons house MBDA (Hall D, Stand 261) has proposed a twin-track approach to meet the ship self-defence needs of the Indonesian Navy’s (TNI-AL’s) two newest surface combatant classes. The company is pitching its VL Mica point defence missile system for the two SIGMA 10514 Perusak Kawal Rudal (PKR) guided missile frigates being built by Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding (DSNS) in partnership with PT PAL (Persero). In parallel, the company sees its new Sea Ceptor local area anti-air missile system as an ideal fit for the three recently acquired Bung Tomo-class corvettes.

VL Mica uses the existing Mica air-to-air missile, available with active radar or infrared seekers, fired in a lock-on-after-launch mode to provide ship protection out to a maximum range of 20km. Vertical launch and the absence of dedicated target trackers provides for a 360° engagement capability against multiple simultaneous targets.

The full tactical VL Mica ammunition integrates a single missile all-up round with a single-use autonomous firing and storage canister; this is a sealed and pressurised dual-chamber enclosure designed with an integral duct to vent motor efflux upwards on launch.

Along with the ammunition canisters, below decks is the sequencer cabinet (containing power supplies and processing electronics), which links the VL Mica missiles with the ship combat management system, receives inputs from the ship’s inertial system and provides the link to the ship missile datalink.

Space and weight have already been reserved in the PKR design for a 12-cell VL Mica installation.

DSNS and its combat system supplier Thales Nederland have previously integrated VL Mica on the SIGMA 10513 frigate Tarik Ben Ziad and the SIGMA 9813 frigates Sultan Moulay Ismail and Allal Ben Abdellah delivered to the Royal Moroccan Navy.

MBDA is taking a different approach to the Bung Tomo-class ships, these 95m vessels having originally been designed to receive the VL Seawolf point defence missile system. With VL Seawolf no longer in production, MBDA is proposing to equip the three corvettes with the successor Sea Ceptor local area anti-air defence system.

Based on the new Common Antiair Modular Missile (CAMM) effector, Sea Ceptor has been ordered by the UK Ministry of Defence to replace VL Seawolf on the Royal Navy’s Type 23 frigates. Earlier this year, the New Zealand Ministry of Defence became the first export customer for the system, ordering Sea Ceptor as a key component of its ANZAC Frigate Systems Upgrade programme.

Capable of ranges of more than 25km, CAMM uses an active radar seeker (supported by mid-course guidance updates) to deliver an all-weather engagement capability against multiple targets simultaneously. It also features novel ‘soft launch’ technology, where a gas-powered piston propels the missile away from the ship before thrusters orientate it in the required direction of flight. Once the low-speed/low-energy turnover is complete, the missile fires its main rocket motor.

Airbus Helicopters has been selected to provide 11 AS-565 MBe Panther helicopters for the Indonesian Navy, Airbus announced today. These rotorcraft will to be used for naval anti-submarine warfare (ASW) missions, supporting operations from land bases and ships. The helicopters are scheduled for delivery within three years to Indonesia, where they will be outfitted for their ASW mission, before delivery to the Indonesian Navy. The mission equipment include the Helicopter Long-Range Active Sonar (HELRAS) dipping sonar and torpedo launching system.

Panther now becomes one of the world’s most capable light/medium anti-submarine warfare platforms, with an advanced ASW suite and the capability to operate from corvettes or small frigates

HELRAS DS-100 produced by L-3 comprises a descending vertical transmit array of seven projector elements and a receive array of eight hydraulically driven arms that expand to a diameter of 2.6 meters when deployed. The total weight of the system is about 350 kg. The AS-565 is configured to carry the Raytheon Mk 46 or Whitehead A.244/S lightweight ASW torpedoes.

The DS-100 is A 1.38 kHz version of the popular AQS-18A dipping sonar. The DS-100 is capable of operating at depths to 500 meters designed for long-range surveillance and underwater search. Using high resolution doppler processing and long shaped pulses, it can detect submarines even very low speed (near zero doppler signal). According to L-3, the DS-100 is also suited to redetection, target localization and weapon delivery against submarines at deep and shallow waters. The HELRAS is used with several types of helicopters, including the Italian Navy EH-101 and SH-3. A version of the system is also tailored for the ASW variant of the European NH-90.

“The Panther now becomes one of the world’s most capable light/medium anti-submarine warfare platforms, with an advanced ASW suite and the capability to operate from corvettes or small frigates,” said Philippe Monteux, Head of Region South East Asia & Pacific at Airbus Helicopters.

He added that the Panther’s ASW capability would meet the naval requirements of other countries in the region.

Although the Panther has been available for many years, the new contract represents its first penetration to the Asian market. The reason for its slow entry to market is probably the competition form the Chinese built variant – Harbin Z-9 which was based on the SA-565 civilian variant – Dauphin. Beyond the Chinese Army and Navy the Z-9 is operating with Cambodia, Laos and Pakistan.

This order will add to the Indonesian Armed Forces’ fleet of Airbus Helicopters rotorcraft serving the Indonesian military, which currently operates the light EC120 Colibris for training; the Fennecs and BO-105 for light attack missions and the Pumas and Super Pumas operated by the Air Force. The Indonesian Air Force is expecting to receive the EC725 for combat search and rescue missions.

PT Dirgantara, Airbus’ strategic industrial partner in Indonesia is also involved in other programs, including the C-295 military transport. The agreements were secured by PT Dirgantara Indonesia as a result of its long-standing cooperation and strategic alliance with Airbus Helicopters. The President of PT Dirgantara Indonesia, Budi Santoso explained, “This latest contract demonstrates the strength and efficiency of our commercial and industrial partnership with Airbus Helicopters. Together, we are able to identify and deliver the most modern and cost-effective solutions for the Indonesian Government and at the same time associate the significant involvement of the Indonesian industry.”

Euro fighter is here in Indonesia to promote the Typhoon multi-role warplane as a potential answer to the country’s airpower needs. e European consortium (Hall D, Stand 033) has labelled its marketing e fforts as ‘Lepas Landas’ – ready for take-o – and not only is Euro fighter stressing the capabilities of the aircraft itself, but also the economic and technological bene fits that Typhoon selection could bring to Indonesia.

Euro fighter’s chief executive, Alberto Gutierrez, is in Jakarta to promote the Typhoon o er. “Safeguarding the islands of Indonesia is a massive undertaking. In terms of airpower you need an asset that is fast, can y high, has staying power and which is versatile and reliable,” he said. “Crucially, we also recognise that it is important to foster and develop indigenous capability.

We know that to do that you need to be freely able to transfer knowhow and develop your own highly skilled workforce.”

Speci fic details of Euro fighter’s o er to Indonesia have not been revealed, but the consortium has highlighted the Typhoon’s multirole capabilities, including air superiority, air and sea strike, and non-traditional ISR. e Typhoon o ers excellent kinematic performance, state-of-the-art sensors and 13 hardpoints able to carry a wide variety of weapons.

Two of Euro fighter’s four partners are divisions of Airbus, which already has a sizeable presence in Indonesia through its partnership with PT Dirgantara Indonesia.

Indonesia has taken delivery from Avibras Indústria Aeroespacial of Brazil (Hall D, Stand 271) of the first batch of ASTROS (Artillery Saturation Rocket System) II artillery rocket systems (ARS), which were ordered in 2012.

The contract is valued at US$402m and covers the supply of a complete ASTROS II Mk.6 ARS comprising 36 6x6 wheeled launchers plus unguided surface-to-surface rockets, rocket resupply vehicles, fire control vehicles, battery command vehicles and associated logistics support vehicles.

The contract is expected to be completed by 2016 and also includes the transfer of technology to Indonesia to allow for local industry to carry out maintenance work on ASTROS II ARS.

ASTROS II ARS will be issued to two battalions of the Indonesian Army each with 18 launchers, which will be split into three batteries, each with six launchers and be deployed in West Java and East Java as part of the Strategic Reserve Command. These will complement the towed artillery systems currently deployed by the Indonesian Army and provide a suppressive firepower capability at long range, which it currently lacks.

ASTROS II ARS will fire the SS-60 300mm rocket, which has a minimum range of 20km and a maximum range of 60km, and the SS-80 300mm rocket, which has a range of 20-80km. In the longer term, the system would be capable of firing rockets with guidance system to provide a more precision effect.

Indonesia is the second country in the region to order ASTROS II ARS; Malaysia has already taken delivery of its systems, which have been issued to two Malaysian Army regiments (51st and 52nd).

Being shown for the first time in Asia at Indo Defence 2014 (Outside Hall A) is the Marder Evolution from Rheinmetall. Using independent research and development funding, the German company has developed the Marder Evolution specifically for the export market.

Marder Evolution draws on experience from well over 2,000 Marder 1 infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) built for the German Army, which have been constantly upgraded. The latest version is the Marder 1A5A1, which was developed for deployment in Afghanistan.

With the downsizing of the German Army, large numbers of Marder 1 IFVs have become surplus to requirements and Rheinmetall has purchased a significant number for potential overseas sales, either refurbished or upgraded to enhance their operational capabilities. Indonesia took delivery in late 2013 of its first two vehicles, with a total of 42 to be supplied. The first export customer for the refurbished Marder 1A3 IFV was Chile.

Marder Evolution is being marketed in a number of configurations including an armoured personnel carrier as well as an IFV. Enhancements include an upgraded MTU diesel powerpack, upgraded torsion bar suspension, air-conditioning system, enhanced ballistic and mine protection and a 300mm raised roof line extending to the rear to provide greater interior volume.

The IFV version would typically be fitted with a roof-mounted remote weapon station, such as the Norwegian Kongsberg Protector armed with a stabilised .50 M2 HB machine gun. The crew is provided with special blast-attenuating seats that are not attached to the floor for a higher level of survivability.

There is considerable flexibility in the Marder Evolution to meet different user requirements, such as cameras for situational awareness over 360° and a battle management system that can be provided by Rheinmetall Defence Electronics.

In addition to being used as the basis for an IFV, the hull of the Marder Evolution can be employed for more specialised roles, for example as ambulance, command post or mortar carrier.

The vehicle can also be fitted with heavier turrets and weapon stations, such as an Oto Melara three-person turret armed with a 105mm low recoil force rifled gun coupled to a computerised fire control system.

South Africa’s largest defence company, Denel (Hall A, Stand 261), has brought a range of its products to Indo Defence, including its latest unmanned air vehicle.

The Hungwe is a small UAV intended for both civilian and military use. While an earlier Denel project with the same name had a blended wing/body layout, the new Hungwe is a more conventional twin-boom vehicle that draws on the configuration of the company’s larger Seeker II.

Denel’s Dynamics division is responsible for the company’s UAV programmes and it first flew the new-look Hungwe in early 2014. Weighing 35kg at take-off and with a wings p a n of 4m, the Hungwe carries a 5kg payload comprising a daylight TV and infrared sensors in a single turret. Operational ceiling is 12,000ft.

The vehicle is intended for rapid deployment – in about 30 minutes – and can be transported aboard a one-tonne commercial vehicle. The ground control segment is packaged into a two-console laptop-based system, with one for the vehicle controller and one for the sensor operator.

Hungwe has a 100km line-of-sight radius of action and can loiter for three hours at that radius. Total endurance is six hours. Hungwe is being developed to operate in civilian airspace, which is currently denied to UAVs in South Africa. Denel Dynamics is working with the South African civil aviation authority to clear the UAV for such operations.

As well as military duties, Hungwe is aimed at operators that could use a long-endurance UAV for duties such as border or pipeline surveillance, anti-poaching patrols, anti-piracy and law enforcement.

The Indonesian Navy (Tentera Nasional Indonesia – Angkatan Laut, or TNI-AL) has begun upgrading its naval base at Ranai in Riau Islands to support a planned increase in ship numbers in the region.

Speaking on 14 August in Jakarta, TNI-AL Chief of Staff for the Western Fleet (KOARMABAR) Commodore Amarulla Octavian described the upgrades as consisting primarily of logistics support facilities, including the building of fuel depots, that will enable the TNI-AL to sustain deployments in the area. “The logistics facilities are being [upgraded] to support the TNI-AL’s increasing presence in the region so that we may safeguard the country’s maritime territories from any hostile forces should they pose a threat,” he said, without making specific reference to any particular country.

Future of threat detection [ID14D1]

04 November 2014
Airbus Defense and Space Inc (Hall A, Stand A049) is presenting its new SONEX-P portable explosives threat detection system, offering visitors the opportunity to witness live demonstrations. “The SONEX-P system represents the future of threat detection,” said David Romaine, SONEX-P programme manager. “It delivers faster results, clearer views of the threat and a greatly improved degree of safety for first responders and explosives technicians.”

Weighing less than 23kg (50 lb), the lightweight SONEX-P comprises only two elements – a manportable detection head and a companion laptop computer – that work in tandem to identify, detect and discriminate chemical, radiological, nuclear or explosive threats located in parcels, luggage, ordnance or abandoned bags.

The chief characteristic which differentiates SONEX-P from X-ray based detection devices is its combination of neutron technology with 3D imaging, enabling faster threat detection and more accurate views of a threat. It allows first responders to interrogate suspicious packages from a safe distance without handling them. Easy to use, the device does all the work – signalling a live threat with a red light on its console and a non-threat condition with a green light. The system software can be optimised to detect other emerging chemical, nuclear and radiological threats.

Successful demonstrations of SONEX-P have been conducted in the USA for representatives of major international airports, homeland security agencies, and federal, state and local law enforcement organisations. Capability demonstrations have been held for representatives of the US Domestic Nuclear Defeat Organization, the Metropolitan Washington (DC) Airports Authority, and the US Postal Service, among others.

SONEX-P accurately detected and identified a range of hidden explosive threats – each in a single scan.

Thales Nederland has begun testing its new-generation NS 100 E/F-band 3D dual-axis multi-beam radar at its Hengelo facility ahead of commencing customer deliveries next year.
Building on Thales Nederland’s established pedigree in both rotating and fixed-face shipborne radars, notably the respective SMART-S Mk 2 and Sea Master 400 product lines, NS 100 is being positioned to meet the littoral surveillance needs of small-to-medium size surface combatants. According to the company, the combination of an electronically stabilised, mechanically rotating antenna and an active electronically scanned array – able to generate beams simultaneously in elevation and azimuth – delivers a significant increase in time on target, and thus improved radar detection performance against small targets, even in clutter.

Thales Nederland has also provided the option to integrate other sensors into the NS 100 antenna housing, to save topside space and create a true multi-sensor platform.

Options include an IFF interrogator/ transponder (Mode 5/S), a SCOUT Mk 3 frequency-modulated continuous wave radar for close-in surface surveillance, AIS, ADS-B, and an infrared camera for local situational awareness.

Thales Nederland secured a first series production contract for eight NS 100 systems in early 2013. While the company has declined to identify the customer, it has been widely reported that the radars are to equip eight new Littoral Mission Vessels on order for the Republic of Singapore Navy.

The first NS 100 production system was installed on the test tower in Hengelo at the start of October; a second NS 100 unit is currently undergoing antenna testing, with a further two radars in the build-up phase. Factory acceptance testing to support initial deliveries to the lead customer is scheduled for mid-2015.

Model skala pesawat tempur kerja sama Indonesia dan Korea Selatan, KFX/IFX, di gerai Korean Aerospace Industry, pada Indo Denfence 2014, di Jakarta, Rabu. Inilah rancang-bangun pasti KFX/IFX yang digadang-gadang berteknologi stealth dan berbagai teknologi masa depan lain. (www.antaranews.com/Ade P Marboen)

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Spesisikasi calon pesawat tempur generasi 4,5 hasil kerja sama Indonesia dengan Korea Selatan, KFX/IFX, bisa jadi akan berbeda antara yang dimiliki Indonesia dan Korea Selatan, walau rancang bangun fisiknya telah final.

"Serangkaian pembicaraan tetap dilakukan walau rancang bangun fisiknya telah ditetapkan. Modelnya bisa dilihat seperti pada Indo Defence 2014 ini," kata Deputi Manajer Program KFX/IFX Korea Aerospace Industry, Hwang Sungho, di sela pameran industri pertahanan Indo Defence 2014, di Jakarta, Rabu.

Dia juga tidak mengungkap jenis-jenis teknologi --yang dikatakan akan menjadi teknologi "masa depan"-- yang akan dibagi kepada Indonesia.

Tentang ini, ahli teknologi penerbangan, Dr Mulyo Widodo, akhir 2013 lalu, menyatakan, "Meski sebagian lagi (teknologi) masih dicari, kami percaya Korea bisa meraihnya. Mereka punya peta jalan yang jelas dalam proyek pengembangan jet tempur," katanya.

"Mereka sudah memulainya dengan KT-1, lalu T-50, TA-50 dan setelah itu: FA-50. Lebih dari itu mereka juga punya belasan veteran NASA dan USAF yang jadi tempat bertanya. Mereka kini dosen di sejumlah perguruan tinggi," kata dia.

Program KFX/IFX yang digagas Presiden Korea Selatan (saat itu), Kim Dae-jung, pada 2001, masih dalam tahap pengembangan walau kesepakatan komposisi pembiayaan antara Indonesia dan Korea Selatan sudah ditentukan, yaitu 20 berbanding 80.

Secara total, berdasarkan perundingan kedua pemerintahan, akan dibuat 120 unit KFX/IFX ini.
Hwang juga tidak bersedia menjawab, apakah komposisi "kontribusi" pembiayaan 20:80 itu akan menentukan spesifikasi teknis KFX/IFX yang akan dimiliki Indonesia dan Korea Selatan.

Sempat berkembang "teka-teki" tentang rupa pasti fisik KFX/IFX ini, namun rancangan pasti fisiknya belakangan sudah dipastikan dan model skalanya dipajang di gerai KAI pada Indo Defence 2014 ini.

Secara kasat mata, bentuk fisiknya sangat mirip dengan F-22 Raptor; bermesin dua dengan sayap tegak ganda dan rancangan kokpit serta bagian depanfuselage serupa, pun pada kompartemen bomb bay-nya yang tersembunyi.

Dengan begitu, arsenal yang bisa dia bawa disembunyikan sedemikian rupa di dalam ruang bom itu. Ini juga yang menolong tangkap radar cross section-nya menjadi sangat minimal. Teknologi serupa lazim dijumpai pada F-22 Raptor dan F-35 Lighting II.

Perbedaan spesifikasi itu, katanya, bisa pada beberapa hal tergantung pada keperluan masing-masing pemilik unit pesawat tempur generasi tercanggih yang digadang-gadang berteknologi stealth dan melongkapi capaian kemampuan Dassault Rafale (Prancis), Eurofighter Typhoon (konsorsium Eropa Barat), walau masih di bawah Lockheed Martin F-35 Lighting II.

Dia katakan, penentuan macam dan sumber piranti avionika, sebagai misal, masih belum diputuskan. Banyak ambisi yang ingin ditanamkan pada tubuh KFX/IFX ini, di antaranya penguasaan teknologi stealth, yang pada beberapa tipe pesawat tempur secara terbatas bisa dientaskan dengan aplikasi cat tertentu yang bisa menyerap paparan gelombang radar.

Hwang sangat yakin bahwa Indonesia tetap pada pendiriannya yaitu mewujudkan KFX/IFX ini hingga operasional penuh. Saat ditanya mengapa perwujudannya sejak ide digulirkan memakan waktu lama, dia berujar, "Eurofighter Typhoon juga memerlukan waktu cukup lama untuk bisa beroperasi penuh."
