In order to operate "surgical strikes", these systems "illuminate" the target with a laser beamand guide weapons with final laser guidance, with a accurancy of less than one meter. All controls and commands of DHY 307 LW are remotely located on a separate box, the RCU (Remote Control Unit). This separate box can be easily disconnected and stored in safe place if necessary. It allows also remote controle of the DHY 307 LW keeping the operator safe for dangerous missions.
This innovative system offers a flexible architecture in order to optimize its technology capabilities. Through a simple interface, the DHY 307 LW is compatible with thermal infrared camera, see spot camera and laser pointer. The technical knowledge of CILAS is in constant evolution to provide the best equipment for critical applications.

Thanks to its large internal volume, high payload and flexible architecture, TULPAR has sufficient growth potential to meet the future protection needs and mission equipment.
Streit Group to introduce its training programme at IndoDefence 2014.
A specially designed STREIT Group training programme will be introduced to customers at Indodefence 2014, aimed at maximising performance of armored vehicles, their drivers and their operators. Launched this summer, and now available in Indonesia and across the Asian region as a whole, STREIT Group’s Defence and Emergency training programme is part of what the company describes as its ‘total protection’ approach - combining the best equipment with the best knowledge.
Streit Group booth at IndoDefence 2014 Tri-service defence exhibition in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Chief Executive Guerman Goutorov explains: “Drivers and operators need to know how to operate armored vehicle technology to its best effect. This requires particular driving skills and security strategies. It also means avoiding any misuse or mishandling that could result in downtime for the vehicle.”
The programme offers more than 120 specialised courses, each of which can be adapted to meet particular customer needs. They are delivered by experts with a strong background in the relevant military and police fields, backed by STREIT Group’s 23 years of experience in responding to the conflict situations faced by users of armored vehicles.
Guerman Goutorov adds: “With a deployment of more than 10,000 STREIT vehicles globally, including some of the world’s most hostile environments, we take no chances when it comes to saving lives. As well as providing drivers and operators with the ultimate protection, we are committed to offering the necessary skill sets to make sure they can use the vehicles and equipment confidently, safely and effectively.”
Airbus Helicopters hands over Indonesia’s first EC725 for combat search and rescue missions.
Airbus Helicopters has handed over the first of six EC725 rotorcraft acquired by Indonesia for combat search and rescue (CSAR) missions. Present at Airbus Helicopters’ Marignane, France facility to accept the aircraft included members of the Indonesian Ministry of Defence, the Indonesian Air Force, as well as PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI). The 11-ton twin-engine helicopter will be delivered to the Air Force by mid-2015 after PTDI completes the mission equipment outfitting and customization at its Bandung, West Java facility.

“We are pleased to receive this first EC725 from Airbus Helicopters, which will allow us to complete it in the CSAR version to be handed over to the Indonesian Air Force,” said PTDI President Budi Santoso. “We will continue to work closely with Airbus Helicopters to ensure the on-time delivery of the remaining units, as we anticipate an additional order from the Air Force for 10 more EC725s to complete its squadron of 16 helicopters.”
When deployed by the Indonesian Air Force, the EC725 fleet will significantly enhance the military service’s CSAR capabilities, benefitting from the proven performance and durability of Airbus Helicopters’ latest member in its Super Puma helicopter family.
The mission equipment integration and completion of these six EC725 will mark a new step in Airbus Helicopters’ well-established cooperation with PTDI, which includes a strategic industrial agreement and the Indonesian company’s role in Airbus Helicopters’ global supply chain.
The Indonesian Air Force has been a long-time operator of both the AS332 Super Puma and SA330 Puma rotorcraft, which were license-produced by PTDI since over 30 years ago. The partnership between PTDI and Airbus Helicopters has continued to grow, resulting in PTDI becoming a key supplier of tail booms and airframe assemblies of the EC225 and EC725 since 2008.
“Airbus Helicopters’ cooperation with PT Dirgantara Indonesia is exemplary,” said Philippe Monteux, Head of Region South East Asia & Pacific at Airbus Helicopters. “Our delivery of the first EC725, with significant parts being first built by PTDI, underscores how our partnership continues to evolve, meeting Indonesia’s helicopter needs and further contributing to the progress of its aerospace sector.”
At IndoDefence 2014 Rheinmetall shows Wiesel 2 120mm tracked airborne armoured mortar carrier.
At Indo Defence 2014 Rheinmetall is showing the
Wiesel 2 tracked airborne armoured 120 mm mortar carrier. Equipped with a sophisticated recoil system, Rheinmetall’s extremely accurate 120mm mortar system is specially optimized for small vehicles.
Rheinmetall Wiesel 2 tracked airborne armoured vehicle mortar carrier at at IndoDefence 2014 Tri-service defence exhibition in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Sensors monitor the barrel temperature, fire position and the volumetric efficiency of the barrel brakes, indicating the functional readiness and operational status of the weapon. Systematic FE analysis, lightweight design and high-strength materials have produced a mortar system weighing just 310kg. The increased wall strength in high-stress zones of the tube and the use of high-strength materials enable a maximum range of 8km with the mortar’s specially developed rounds.
In order to operate in difficult terrain – in the mountains, for example, in the jungle, on coastal terrain or in an urban environment – today’s armed forces need a flexible, quickly deployable, protected platform that can be readily integrated into network-enabled operations and which, above all, can be transported by air either on board or as underslung cargo. It was precisely with these capabilities in mind that Rheinmetall developed the Wiesel (‘weasel’) family of vehicles, which the company is presenting at Indo Defence 2014.
Today the
Wiesel 2 family covers practically the full range of military ground capabilities, encompassing a reconnaissance vehicle, a command post version, an antitank missile launcher platform, an automatic cannon platform, an engineering scout vehicle and a field ambulance version. Other variants include joint fire support team and joint fire support coordination team vehicles and a 120mm mortar carrier; a Wiesel-based mobile air defence system consisting of an air defence command post vehicle, an air defence reconnaissance and fire control vehicle, and an air defence weapon carrier round out the portfolio.
Lockheed Martin highlights long-range precision rocket artillery systems at IndoDefence 2014
At IndoDefence 2014, which is held from 5-8 November in Jakarta, Indonesia, Lockheed Martin chose to highlight a selection of long-range precision rocket artillery systems. Among them are the M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System and the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS).
Lockheed Martin's booth at IndoDefence 2014
Offering Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) firepower on a wheeled chassis, the
High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) is the newest member of the MLRS launcher family. HIMARS carries a single six-pack of rockets or one ATACMS missile on the Armys Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) 5-ton truck, and can launch the entire MLRS family of munitions. It was successfully combat-tested in Operation Iraqi Freedom. HIMARS is C-130 transportable and can be deployed into areas previously inaccessible to heavier launchers.
It also incorporates the self-loading, autonomous features that have made MLRS the premier rocket artillery system in the world. The HIMARS fire control system, electronics and communications units are interchangeable with the existing MLRS M270A1 launcher, and the crew and training are the same.

The
Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) is a highly mobile, automatic system that fires surface-to-surface rockets and missiles from the M270 platform. From inside the cab, the crew of three can fire up to 12 MLRS rockets or two Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS). The system is operational in U.S. Army, and fourteen countries have fielded or ordered MLRS, such as Bahrain, Denmark, Greece and Israel.
