Indonesia Defence Forum

Prabowo was present Yesterday during the launch of 2 made in Indonesia ship. The video get 195.000 viewers for just 1 day despite it is not sophisticated ship, and this is only from Kompas Youtube channel. We also can see the comment section to see people enthusiasm.

This actually can be something that both Prabowo and Jokowi should learn from general public view ( not defense enthusiast community which is very small ). They love Indonesian defense products and the policy to favor Indonesian made defense products will be supported with general public.

Just think what will be like if first IFX is made in Bandung before 2024 election and the roll out happen with so many TV and media are present........

He should run for office in my opinion imo

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (Nov. 2, 2021) – The Indonesian Air Force joins a growing list of customers that have selected Collins Aerospace for its C-130H Hercules military transport aircraft modernization effort. Serving as a contractor to GMF, Collins Aerospace will provide its Flight2™ avionics solution, that transforms dated analog controls into a modern digital glass cockpit and expands Collins’ position as the global leader in C-130 modifications.

Used for a broad range of missions, including personnel and cargo transport, as well as humanitarian efforts, the Flight2™ avionics modification will replace the C-130H’s analog instruments with seven multifunction displays, three control display units and new digital autopilot. In addition, the aircraft will be equipped with the Required Navigation Performance/Area Navigation flight management system, with high altitude release point and computed air release point precision airdrop software. The modernization will help the Indonesian Air Force optimize its operations, improve pilot situational awareness and minimize aircraft downtime.

“We worked closely with GMF and the Indonesian Air Force to leverage our Flight2™ Mobility Mission Application (MMA) architecture, and to tailor the system to meet all the specific mission requirements,” said Dave Schreck, vice president and general manager for Military Avionics and Helicopters at Collins Aerospace. “MMA enables customers to select from a superset of off-the-shelf capabilities, which really maximizes what we can provide for any given budget. In this case, we created a solution that is custom fit to the needs of the Indonesian Air Force.”


Andi Fahrurrozi, CEO of GMF, added, “We are delighted to work with Collins Aerospace to jointly modernize the C-130H owned by the Indonesian Air Force. GMF, as a proud Indonesian provider appointed by the Ministry of Defense, believes this prestigious project can be done in a timely manner by working closely with Collins Aerospace. This project is a part of GMF's effort to diversify the business and support the defense industry to rejuvenate the fleet and improve flight safety.”

By upgrading to Flight2™, the Indonesian Air Force’s C-130H will be in compliance with the most recent International Civil Aviation Organization standards, while also equipping it with a tactical advantage in military operations.
Collins Aerospace has delivered over 2,900 Flight2™ solutions for military fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft including 370 C-130s upgraded, or on contract to be upgraded, in 16 different countries. More C-130 upgrades have been fitted with avionics from Collins than from any other single provider in the world.

Older news but still relevant, as we only have 1.1 billion USD for MRCA program approved by MoF so better use it for F 16 V as it is intended to fill previous F 5 squadron.

The squadron is in Iswahyudi base where there are already F 16 C/D and F 16 MLU. It means the infrastructure and trained technicians are already ready. Weapons are ready to use (AMRAMM/Sidewinder/Maverick), while separate acquisition to buy more AMRAMM and Sidewinder have already been approved by Minister of Planning ( I believe MoF also has approved as well)
