Indonesia Will Have Fastest Growing Defence Budget in Asia Pacific Over Next Five Years, New IHS Report Says

Defence expenditure to pass $14.3 billion by 2020

LONDON, UK (21 May, 2015) – Indonesia will have the fastest growing defence budget in Asia Pacific over the next five years, according to new analysis released today by IHS Inc. (NYSE: IHS), the leading global source of critical information and insight.

Indonesia’s defence budget will increase by 17 percent in 2015, from IDR83.3 trillion ($6.3 billion) to IDR97.4 trillion ($7.4 billion) and is expected to grow 14 percent a year until the end of the decade (average annual growth). IHS Aerospace, Defence & Security forecasts that the Indonesian Defence expenditure will pass IDR180 trillion ($14.3 billion) annually by 2020.

“Growth of this scale is certainly exceptional and the Indonesian government appears committed to raising defence spending significantly” said Craig Caffrey, principal budget analyst for IHS Aerospace, Defence & Security. “The economic outlook for Indonesia remains strong and President Widodo’s removal of the fuel subsidy will free up additional money for defence.”

For the next five years, Indonesia is likely to see a consistent level of growth. “Achieving sustainable high growth rates seems entirely possible given the strong political backing defence appears to have,” Caffrey said.

Indonesia was the world’s 15th largest importer of equipment in 2014, according to IHS data, importing $1.8 billion worth of equipment. The single largest supplier of equipment to Indonesia last year was South Korea ($450 million).

Asia Pacific Driving Global Growth in Defence Spending

Growth elsewhere in Asia Pacific is also expected to be robust over the remainder of the decade averaging 4.7 percent in real terms. “Asia Pacific is really expected to be the driver behind global defence spending increases over the next five years,” Caffrey said “By the end of the decade, regional spending is expected to reach around $550 billion, or around a third of all global expenditure.”

National scene: Three fighter
jets patrol eastern region

The Jakarta Post, Kupang | National | Sat, May 23 2015, 6:01 AM


The Air Force has prepared three fighter jets at the El Tari Air Base in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, to secure eastern parts of the country, Air Force chief Marshal Agus Supriatna says.

He said the deployment of the three jets would be part of a campaign to protect the country’s territorial integrity.

“We will intensively operate the three fighter jets to guard East Nusa Tenggara as it is close to two neighbouring countries, Timor-Leste and Australia,” he said on Thursday.

Agus said that the Air Force would focus on possible movements that could pose security threats to the territory and its people. The Indonesian and Timor-Leste government have signed a deal that would allow the two countries to cooperate on defense measures. The ratification will allow Indonesia to improve joint military training, exchange intelligence information and trade weapons with Timor-Leste. - See more at: National scene: Three fighter jets patrol eastern region | The Jakarta Post

Asia Navies Introduced to the ‘Tank Boat’
24 Mei 2015

X-18 Tank Boat for riverine operations (image : Lundin)

Indonesian shipyard PT Lundin and turret manufacturer CMI Defence are working on an innovative craft aimed at the riverine and amphibious assault market.
Dubbed the X18 Tank Boat, the design essentially wraps a boat around a CMI gyrostabilised 105mm turret, according to the head of PT Lundin, John Lundin.
‘We identified the need for better boats for riverine operations and amphibious assault operations for countries without good air support some years ago,’ Lundin told Shephard.
They began initial discussions with CMI three years ago, quickly identifying the company’s 105mm as having the necessary firepower and elevation for the mission. ‘That elevation also allows the gun to be used as artillery if needed,’ added CMI’s local representative Patrick Ledig.
PT Lundin has used its expertise in advanced composites to design the 18m craft to ‘wrap around the gun’.
‘We’ve used a lot of existing technologies and put them together in an innovative design,’ Lundin stated.
The companies believe that marrying existing technologies has allowed them to jump-start the engineering process and they have already conducted CAD and structural design feasibility studies.
The X18 only has a 0.8m draught making it ideally suited for the confines of riverine operation and is propelled by two MJP waterjets making it highly manoeuvrable.
According to PT Lundin, the boat should be capable of maximum speeds of 30kts and have a range of some 900nm. The size needed to accommodate the 105mm also means that alongside the crew of six the X18 can also carry up to 20 troops.
Although it is a composite design, Lundin said that the crew areas would have a level of ballistic protection. ‘We believe we will be able to give protection against 7.62mm, but the weight costs of moving up to 12.7mm were prohibitive,’ he added.
Further crew protection would be provided by integrating a number of close-in systems. The company has already had discussions with Bofors about potentially integrating its Lemur fire control system that would integrate a remote weapon station designed to carry missiles, weapons up to 30mm and 40mm AGL.

Police Densus 88 kills 2 terrorist in Poso during a raid last night (24/5). The terrorist are suspected member of East Indonesia Mujahidin.

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, PALU -- Two suspected terrorists were killed during a raid and a firefight that followed with police in Poso, Central Sulawesi, on Sunday night (24/5).

Following the clash the police confiscated a number of weapons and bullets from the two who were killed in the village of Gayatri, Central Sulawesi regional police command spokesman Adjunct Senior Commissioner Hari Suprapto said.

Among the weapons confiscated were an M16 riffle, two home-made bombs and two magazines containing 20 5.56 caliber bullets, he said.

He said the two were believed to be members of the East Indonesia Mujahidin led by Santoso who is now still at large.

The bodies of the two have been taken to the Bhayangkara police hospital in Palu but "I have not yet received information about their identities," he said.

Some of the police officers involved in the firefight at around 7pm were reported to have also been wounded but no police officer was killed in the incident.

The police have initially monitored the location of the group in the village of Gayatri before raiding it that led to the clash.

The police continued searching alleged terrorists who had so far been wanted and are believed to still be hiding in the forests in Poso and Parigi Moutong.
The operation to find them was started last week involving around 1,000 personnel.

Some time ago one of the terrorist group members, Daeng Koro, was killed in Parigi Moutong.

The police are currently increasing their operations in a number of locations in Central Sulawesi in their effort to reduce the operation room of the alleged terrorists.

TNI FTW! Indonesian forces sweep gold medals at shooting competition in Australia

We may not have the biggest gold medal collection from the Olympics, but when it comes to sharpshooting, it seems there are none more pin point accurate than shooters from the Indonesian Army.

Sharpshooters from the Indonesian Army absolutely destroyed the competition at an Australian Army Skill at Arms Meeting (AASAM) international shooting competition, which was held in Puckapunyal, Australia, from May 20-23.

“Our medal collection far exceeded the others. It could be said we won by a landslide,” said Brigadier General Wuryanto, head the Indonesian Army’s Public Information Agency, as quoted by Tempo yesterday.

Indonesia claimed 30 gold, 16 silver, and 10 bronze medals. The next best performing country, Australia, only managed 4 gold, 9 silver, and 6 bronze medals. The USA, in third, collected 4 gold, 1 silver, and 2 bronze medals.

For the competition, the Indonesian Army sent 14 of its best sharpshooters from the Special Forces Command (Kopassus) and the Strategic Reserve Command (Kostrad). It seems they were so damn good it wasn’t fair for the competition.

This was the eighth overall victory for Indonesia at an Asia-Pacific shooting competition.

Fijian PM supports Indonesia’s move to become MSG associate member

Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama has supported Indonesia’s bid to become an associate member of the Melanesian Spearhead Group (MSG).

PACNEWS reports Bainimarama confirmed that having Indonesia as an associate member made sense given the population in Papua is more than 11 million Melanesian people in Indonesia.

Voreqe Bainimarama says Fiji will not interfere in Indonesia’s sovereignty saying Papua comes under the governance of Indonesia and for anything to do with Papua – the best thing to do is to bring in Indonesia.

He adds Indonesia will continue to do what it wants to do and hearing talks of assault, human rights abuses – the best thing to do is to bring in Indonesia as an associate member of the MSG.

He also says the issue of alleged human rights abuse by Indonesia will best to be dealt with if Indonesia is allowed in the MSG bloc.

Bainimarama adds that at the end of the day, Papua comes under the sovereignty of Indonesia and the last thing Fiji wants to do is to interfere with someone else’s sovereignty.

The Prime Minister believes if they talk to Indonesia about some of these allegations they will do something about it.

It is expected a decision on the issue will be decided when the Melanesian Leaders will meet in Solomon Islands in July.

Papua New Guinea Prime Minister Peter O’Neill earlier this month backed a move by Indonesia to become an associate member of the MSG.
