Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Defense Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro said Indonesia will soon build infrastructure for the production of submarines.

The infrastructure will be built by state shipbuilding company PT PAL in Surabaya, Purnomo said after a session of the Committee for the Defense Industry Policy here on Tuesday.

He said the country is expected to have the infrastructure ready in the next two to three years.

The session of the Committee, which is chaired by Purnomo, also discusses a plan to produce jet fighter planes in the country.

Purnomo said legal umbrella would be needed before any step taken to build the war plane and submarine infrastructure.

"Support from the House of Representatives would be needed to provide a legal basis for the project," he said.

Indonesia as the world`s largest archipelago, would need strong navy and air force to protect its thousands of islands.

Indonesia has agreed with South Korea to cooperate in building the infrastructure for the production of submarines. The cooperation will include in license, engineering manufacturing and production of prototype.

Cooperation is already implemented in design technology and in the next two years cooperation is expected to be implemented in engineering manufacturing and prototype.

Indonesia and South Korea also agreed on transfer of technology in the construction of submarines.

Earlier, the government said development of modern factory to produce submarine would be implemented in 2016-2017.

The first submarine to be produced under the cooperation agreement in Korea will be completed in 2014.

Construction of the second submarine will involve Indonesian technicians and production of the third unit will be in Indonesia by PT PAL.

The submarine bases will be built in the Palu bay, Central Sulawesi to be commissioned by the end of this year. All units of Indonesian submarine will be stationed in the Palu bay including the new one produced in Korea.(*)

Antara News : Indonesia to build infrastructure for submarine production

Indonesia preps for Type 209 submarine construction

Indonesia is preparing to build facilities in support of local shipbuilder PT PAL's planned licensed construction of the third of three South Korean Type 209 diesel-electric attack submarines, although IHS Jane's understands that the scope of Indonesia's involvement in the programme remains subject to negotiation.

The facilities to license-build the submarines, which were ordered from Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) in December 2011, will be operated by state-owned PT PAL adjacent to its existing industrial plant in Surabaya, East Java. Secondary facilities are also expected to be constructed at the Indonesian Navy base in Palu, on the island of Sulawesi, which is scheduled to be commissioned later this year.

The schedule to construct the submarine facilities has slipped several months due to administrative delays, but in a meeting with the Committee for Defence Industry Policy (KKIP) on 11 June, Defence Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro said in comments published by the Indonesian Ministry of Defence (MoD) that the programme would start "soon".

He added that the industrial infrastructure to construct and maintain the submarines will be completed by 2015 or 2016 in line with Indonesia's objective to license-build the third submarine.

I notice that Indonesian uses South Korean weapons?

Does Indonesia have good ties with S.K.

Yes they have good relations

Data from the Korean Defense Acquisition Program Administration shows that Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) has delivered 17 KT-1 single turboprop basic trainers to Indonesia, worth US$91 million.

In May 2011, Indonesia signed a $400 million deal to procure 16 units of T-50 Golden Eagle advanced jet trainers from KAI.

In December 2011, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) won a $1.1 billion contract to manufacture three 1,400-ton U-209 diesel-electric submarines.


the joint development of the KFX/IFX jet fighter program.

The project’s letter of intent was signed in 2009 and concluded the technology development phase.

Five prototypes of the jet fighter are expected to be rolled-out by 2020.

The $5 billion venture is reportedly being delayed until September 2014 due to the leadership transition from President Lee Myung-bak to Park Geun-hye.

vice versa

So far, South Korea is still the biggest buyer of CN-235s followed by Malaysia which has purchased 8 units.

In 2009, PT DI was building one of the four CN-235s ordered by South Korea whose deliveries would be carried out in stages beginning in November 2010. The value of the contract was US$90 million. The deal was concluded after South Korea had previously purchased 8 units of the planes.

The second to be dispatched of the four ordered by South Korea was sent last on May 12, 2011. Two others would be dispatched later.

The CN-235 airplanes ordered by South Korea would be used as Search and Rescue (SAR) aircraft, or CN-235 Korea Cost Guard. This plane is equipped with tools for carrying out evacuation by the SAR team.

The CN-235 Korea Coast Guard plane delivered in May 12, 2011 was series 57. There were two other CN-235, namely series 58 and 59 to be delivered to South Korea in the future.

Totally South Korea has ordered 12 units, Malaysia 8 units, United Arab Emirates 7 units, Pakistan 4 units, Senegal 2 units, Thailand 2 units. Brunei Darussalam 1 unit, Burkina Faso 1 unit.

After all, South Korea is the biggest market for the Indonesian made airplanes.

In the future, Indonesia will push for more use of the aircraft to serve inter-island routes in the country.
