Gripen: Ideal For Indonesian Air Force

The Indonesian government is planning to replace the F-5 fighter aircrafts. The Indonesian Air Force (TNI-AU) polices a very large area. Indonesia’s vast archipelago includes about 17,000 islands stretching over nearly 2 million square kilometres. It has a coastline of 54,716 kilometres to protect and three land borders (Timor-Leste 228 kilometres, Malaysia 1,782 kilometres, and Papua New Guinea 820 kilometres). Moreover, it sits right at Southeast Asia’s maritime chokepoints, such as the Strait of Malacca.

Given this large geographical spread, effective Air Force capability requires high availability of aircraft, long time on station, short turn arounds, long ferry range and large combat radius. The country spends around 1% of its GDP on Defence so it would be looking at an aircraft that isaffordable, superior and have low operational cost. All these make the Gripen an ideal solution for Indonesia.

Gripen is the first of the new generation, multi-role fighter aircrafts to enter operational service.Using the latest technology, Gripen is capable of performing an extensive range of air-to-air, air-to-surface and reconnaissance missions employing the latest weapons.

Gripen is designed to meet the demands of existing and future threats, while simultaneously meeting strict requirements for flight safety, reliability, training efficiency and low operating costs.

Gripen’s inherent design concept is its ability to operate in groups, sharing targets and friendly ship information and cooperating when launching the most modern weapons available.Designed to ensure outstanding combat agility, Gripen features a delta-canard configuration withrelaxed aerodynamic stability. The delta wing and canards, along with the digital Fly-By-Wire Flight Control System, give the fighter an optimum combination of maneuverability, acceleration, top speed and short-field performance.

Gripen is a true multirole fighter, designed as such from the very beginning. This means it can perform missions in all the three roles: air-to-air, air-to-surface and reconnaissance. It can change role while airborne, and it can even act in multiple roles simultaneously. This simultaneous capability will grow over time, as the AESA radar and other systems are further developed. This multi-role capability will help Indonesian Air Force use the same aircraft for different roles, thereby reducing the need for different aircraft to play different roles. The Gripen can replace the F-5E/F not only in its interceptor role but also play a strike fighter role.

Within the three roles, Gripen can perform a wide range of missions such as for example Offensive Counter Air, Defensive Counter Air, Air Policing, Cruise Missile Defence, Close Air Support, Air Interdiction, SEAD/DEAD, Maritime Strike, Strategic Attack, Sea Surveillance, Tactical Air Reconnaissance and Non-Traditional ISR. These missions can be performed 24/7 and in all types of weather.

Gripen C has an overall maximum ferry range of approximately 3000 km. The ferry range is reached at high altitude with maximum use of external drop tanks and no weapons attached. The ferry range for Gripen E with large drop tanks (optional) is approximately 4000 km. This is ideal for Indonesia with its very vast territory and large number of islands.

Saab is committed to working together with the Indonesian government to offer and deliver industrial cooperation programmes and social value that reaches far beyond the aircraft contract. This way, we create sustainable business and real economic growth. Industrial cooperation is achieved through the direct participation of Indonesia’sindustry in the production and development of the contracted system, or by Saab generating investments within areas of national priority. These areas can cover high-level objectives ranging from purely military strategic goals all the way up to overall contribution to the GDP.

The pilot’s fighter.Gripen is a pilot’s dream. It is easy to fly and gives the pilot full control. Gripen’s outstanding agility with high instantaneous and sustained turn rates means unrivalled performance in close combat. Its state-of-the-art HMI and digital Fly-by-wire flight control system enables the pilot to concentrate fully on the mission at hand.

Multirole is in the DNA.Gripen was built to be a true multirole fighter, and was the first fighter of its kind to enter operational service. It is also true to Saab’s tradition of developing smart, unique and extremely functional solutions for combat aircraft. In short, Gripen is a multirole fighter through and through.

Any mission.Anytime.Anywhere.Gripen can carry out air intercept, attack and reconnaissance missions – all in the same sortie if required. On top of this Gripen’s robust design allows for unrivalled simple and rapid maintenance, resulting in turnaround times that no other fighter can match. A Gripen fighter is always ready to fly.

Gripen is a truly Network Centric multirole fighter with the world’s most highly developed secure and multifrequency data link. Together with its fully integrated avionic mission system, Gripen offers total situational awareness for the pilot in all roles. In fact, it excels.

When it comes to peacetime surveillance and air policing, Gripen is the multirole fighter of choice. It will support TNI-AU in detecting and reporting activities such as illegal fishing, illegal immigration and piracy. Gripen is your eye in the sky.

From the very beginning, Gripen was developed with availability, cost and upgradability in mind. Its robust design keeps maintenance and service costs down, and its modular design allows it to be continuously upgraded in order to deal with future threat scenarios. All this boils down to the fact that when choosing Gripen, you get more time in the air. And when it comes to fighters, air time means quality time.

The Gripen paradox: Get more. For less.Every part of the Gripen concept is designed to be as smart and cost-effective as possible. Instead of simply opting for any solution, at any cost, Saab’s engineers are always looking for the smartest one. But they never compromise. Instead, they innovate.

And together with Saab’s attractive and innovative financial solutions, this means the total life time cost for a Gripen becomes very moderate in comparison with other fighters.

Industrial Cooperation (IC): The Gripen effect. In the defence industry, IC is an essential part of doing business. For Saab, good IC means partnerships – lasting, business-driven relationships that generate long-term mutual benefits. Saab has an unrivalled proven track record of successful win-win partnerships created within Gripen packages.

The smart fighter: The combination of excellent operational performance and moderate through life costs makes Gripen unique on the world market today. It is as simple as that!

Indonesian Soldier who Became Victim from Grenade hands Explosive Accident Using Bionic Hand

For the first time in Indonesia, the application of bionic hands toward Siswadi (44), TNI member who became victims from grenade explosive accident

The Bionic hand is made in UK with software application from United States. According to dr. Adi Suriyanto, an orthopedi specialist at dr Ramelan Hospital, this bionic hand is made from titanium and working according along with motoric sensor from human muscles.

"This tools had been applied in large number by foreigner, but it was for the first has been applied in Indonesia. This tools will work when accepting signal pulse from muscles contraction." said the dokter who had been graduate from Diponegoro University, when he showing the Bionic hand at Dr Ramelan Hospital in Surabaya, Monday (9/3/2015)

According to him, this tools had a weakness, that's they can't touch water, "so Mr. Siswadi can't take a bath if using this bionic hand" add him in his statements

Siswadi acknowledge himself became a victim from a grenade accident while training 90 of his member company on how to throwing grenade, " But during the exercise we had three grenade doesn't explode and i must tracking and finding them. When i wanna to pointing where is the grenade fall, suddenly the grenade exploded and hurting both of my hands." Said Siswadi

He surely doesn't expected if the grenade will exploding suddenly, "Before, I had giving up with my condition and with this hands who had been applied for my right hand, i feel helped greatly" add him

Boeing is not with Korea Airline bid, instead KAL is with Airbus Military only. What kind of offer they will give remain to be seen.

KAI, KAL squaring off in homegrown fighter project

2015-02-06

By Kang Seung-woo

Korean Air's planned participation in the nation's indigenous fighter program has finally set up a two-horse race. The other competitor is Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI).

The 8.7 trillion won ($8 billion) project, codenamed KF-X, is to build F-16 plus class jets with the help of global defense contractors to fill a fighter gap expected over the next decade.

Korean Air recently teamed up with Airbus Defence and Space, while KAI plans to take advantage of technology transfers from Lockheed Martin in the F-X program, which will see Korea buy 40 F-35 stealth fighters from the U.S. firm.

Aviation pundits said that each player is heading to the KF-X with its own fighting chance.

"Of the Korean companies, KAI has more experience producing fighter jets," said Greg Waldron, Asia managing editor of Flightglobal, an aviation and aerospace industry website.

"In addition to the T-50 program, it also has experience in other production and re-manufacturing work. In short, with Lockheed's help it has participated in the development of a fighter from start to finish."

KAI and Lockheed co-developed the T-50 supersonic trainer jet in 2001 and the Korean company, based in Sacheon, South Gyeongsang Province, has also manufactured its aerobatic and combat variants, namely the T-50B, TA-50 and FA-50, as well as the Surion utility helicopter.

James Hardy, Asia-Pacific editor of IHS Jane's Defense Weekly, echoed Waldron.

"KAI would seem to have a major advantage in that it has already produced designs for the KF-X and has a proven record with the T-50 program," said Hardy.

"That will be extremely difficult for DAPA to ignore."

DAPA stands for the Defense Acquisition Program Administration.

In terms of the foreign partners ― Lockheed and Airbus ― the U.S. company seems to be more assertive. Airbus Defence and Space is a descendant of Airbus Military ― a subdivision of the defunct EADS. EADS competed with Lockheed and Boeing in the F-X program.

"Lockheed Martin will push its experience with the F-35, its work on the T-50, and its successful partnership," said Hardy.

"It will also play up the transfer of technology that this will play as part of the F-35 sale."

Waldron also questioned Airbus' technology and knowhow to contribute to an advanced, modern fighter aircraft.

"Airbus Military is mainly focused on transports and tankers. They are very good at what they do," he said.

Currently, Airbus is also vying with Boeing and Israel's IAI in Korea's purchase of four aerial refueling tankers.

However, analysts also say that Korean Air can appeal to the nation's arms procurement agency.

"Korean Air may look to EADS to leverage its experience with the Eurofighter Typhoon, which fulfills many of the 4.5 gen fighter requirements outlined by the KFX requirement," said Hardy.

The Typhoon is an aircraft that EADS promoted in the F-X program against Boeing's F-15 Silent Eagle and the F-35. Korean Air also built the Air Force's KF-5E/F under license between 1982 and 1986.

DAPA's assessment on bids from KAI and KAL will be comprised of 80 points for the technological capabilities and 20 for price.

However, Waldron expressed concerns over the transfer of technology from Lockheed to KAI.

"Given the sensitivity around designing a new fighter, and the complicated technology involved, it is often difficult to tell, from the outside, the level of technological transfer that really takes place," he said.

"Another element that cannot be ignored is that a great deal of the technological knowhow that Lockheed possesses is controlled by the U.S. government. The U.S. government will, no doubt, have a great degree of influence in the U.S. content that goes into a foreign fighter design developed with U.S. assistance."

In July, the Joint Chiefs of Staff decided to go with a two-engine platform for the project.

Korea and Indonesia have agreed to a joint engineering and development agreement ― the latter paying 20 percent of the program costs and later buying 50 aircraft.

However, Waldron said the signing may adversely affect the transfer of technology.

"Some industry observers have told me that Indonesia's 20 percent involvement in the KF-X program could be of concern to the U.S.," he said.

"The U.S. government trusts South Korea, but could have concerns about very sensitive technology making its way to Indonesia."

Indonesia was under a U.S. arms embargo until 2005.

The KF-X, initiated by the late former President Kim Dae-jung in March 2001, had been delayed due to budget constraints and questions over its feasibility.

The Air Force plans to secure 120 new jets to replace its aging fleet of F-4s and F-5s under the project.

DAPA is scheduled to close the bidding process on Monday to select a preferred bidder in March before a final selection by the first half of the year.
