Cash-Flush TNI ‘Receptive’ to Saab Pitch for Airborne Radar Platform
Linkoping, Sweden. Swedish aerospace and defense firm Saab plans to continue discussions with the Indonesian Air Force for the purchase of an airborne early warning and control system amid the nation’s heightened efforts to secure its borders.
Martin Vobora, the company’s senior director of marketing and sales for Asia Pacific region, told the Jakarta Globe that government officials have been largely receptive to the offer.
“It seems like the government realized that there is a need for the technology. Now, it’s just a matter of timing and placement,” he said in Linkoping on Tuesday.
Still, he noted that no official talks have yet taken place regarding procurement Saab’s airborne early warning and control system, known as the Erieye AEW&C mission system.
Other companies offering airborne early warning systems include Northrop Grumman and its E-2C Hawkeye airplane.
Saab’s Erieye AEW&C is capable of multiple roles, including air surveillance, sea surveillance and intelligence, the Swedish company said. The radar can be installed on three different platforms, including Saab 340 and 2000 aircraft.
The technology, which has been operational since 1996, has been used in seven countries — including Thailand, Mexico and Brazil — for both military and civilian purposes, such as protection against illegal fishing and drug trafficking.
“There are two keywords for the Erieye system, coverage and mobility,” Lars Ekstrom, business developer of marketing and sales for Saab’s electronic defense systems, told reporters in Gothenburg, Sweden, on Monday.
The Swedish company is offering the airborne early warning control system amid ongoing discussions with Air Force officials on the possible purchase of the Gripen fighter jet. Saab currently has branch offices in 35 countries. Its Indonesian office was established in late 2013.
Since then, Saab Indonesia has signed early-stage agreements with a few local companies, such as state-owned weapons manufacturer Pindad and state electronics manufacturer Len Industri.
“It’s good for us to have local partners for maintenance and it’s also good in helping the country with its industrial base,” said Lars Tossman, vice president and head of airborne surveillance systems.
Indonesia has budgeted 7 percent of its annual spending on defense over the past two years in an effort to revamp its aging military arsenal. Military spending increased by 3.3 percent to Rp 97 trillion ($7.8 billion) in the 2015 state budget compared with the previous year— the equivalent of roughly 1.2 percent of Indonesia’s gross domestic product — with 40 percent of it allocated to weaponry and equipment.
“[Saab Technologies] has been very successful in making things cost-efficient … Indonesia is on the right track to growth and we’d like to be a part of it and help the industrial base,” Tossman added. “That’s the reason we invest.”

DSME selected to design new South Korean submarine rescue ship
Ridzwan Rahmat, Singapore - IHS Jane's Navy International
23 August 2015

Key Points
The company was selected on 13 August as the sole preferred bidder for the basic design phase for the ship. The vessel is referred to as the ASR-II.
The RoKN currently operates a multipurpose submarine rescue ship, the 102 m, 4,300-tonne vessel RoKS Cheong Hae Jin (pennant number 21, commissioned in November 1996). It also operates a single 107 m, 3,500-tonne, helicopter-capable multipurpose salvage ship, RoKS Tongyeong , which is designed to meet the submarine rescue role. Both ships were built by DSME. The service is also expecting the delivery of another vessel of similar type to Tongyeong .
With the impending operation of larger submarines, such as the 3,000-tonne KSS-III diesel-electric boats (SSKs) that are due for delivery from 2020, the RoKN has begun to look for a rescue platform with improved capacity. A preliminary description of the ASR-II suggests that, unlike the other vessels, it will be a dedicated submarine rescue platform.

"The latest submarine rescue ship will have improved supportability and performance that covers the extended operational support for the bigger type of submarine," said the DSME representative.
As reported by IHS Jane's in October 2014, in late 2012 DSME was contracted by South Korea's Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) to build an initial two KSS-III SSKs. The first boat, for which steel was cut in November 2014, is due to be handed over to the RoKN at the end of 2020, with the second to follow in late 2022. Currently, up to nine are planned.

Trade, Defense Cooperation Top Agenda During Erdogan's State Visit
Jakarta. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, during a three-day state visit to Indonesia, discussed intelligence sharing about the Islamic State movement as well as greater economic and defense cooperation between the two nations.
After meeting with his counterpart Joko Widodo at the State Palace on Friday, Erdogan later in the day had a tete-a-tete with Vice President Jusuf Kalla at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in South Jakarta.
At a press conference after the palace meeting, Joko said that he had proposed to the Turkish president to improve intelligence cooperation, especially to prevent Indonesian nationals from joining the Islamic State movement.
Most would-be fighters leave for IS-controlled territories in Iraq and Syria through Turkey, which borders both. A number of Indonesians have already been apprehended by Turkish authorities while supposedly trying to join IS.
Erdogan told reporters that the IS fighters are creating serious problems in the Middle East and that indeed Indonesians were among those trying the join.
"We'll have to close our border for those [people who want to join IS]," he said, adding that so far 1,600 people had been deported for trying to do so.
Joko said that he had also discussed boosting trade with Turkey, and Erdogan acknowledged that "entrepreneurs from our two countries can cooperate more closely."
"Indonesia is a leader in Asean [the Association of Southeast Asian Nations] and we would like to be one of their partners," the Turkish leader said.
With Kalla, later in the day, Erdogan also discussed trade, defense cooperation as well as ways to foster moderate understandings of Islam.
A number of defense deals were closed during the state visit, including with Indonesia's state-owned weapons manufacturer Pindad.
"We will set up a joint industry," the vice president said. "Pindad is certain, [the Turkish side] I don't know yet."
Erdogan also met with leaders of the House of Representatives, with whom he discussed trade and investment, education and defense cooperation.
Mahfudz Siddiq, chairman of the House's Commission I, which handles defense, foreign relations and intelligence matters, said the Turkish delegation had expressed a desire to invest in a military shipbuilding industry here.
Pindad already works together with companies from several countries, including Turkey's FNSS Defense Systems. With FNSS, Pindad is developing a medium-sized tank.
Erdogan left the country on Saturday, from Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport.

Police to seek training
from UK
Fedina S. Sundaryani, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | National | Sat, August 22 2015, 3:12 PM
The National Police said on Friday that they would seek assistance from England’s National Crime Agency (NCA) to further train the force’s Mobile Brigade (Brimob) to help catch wanted terror suspect Santoso in Poso, Central Sulawesi.
National Police chief Gen. Badrodin Haiti said the plan was decided following the Indonesian Military’s (TNI) reluctance to conduct a joint training session between the Army’s Special Forces (Kopassus) and police officers in order to improve the latter’s capability to survive in the wilderness.
“We have several alternatives if the TNI does not want to [conduct a joint training session]. One of the countries we may seek assistance from is England,” he told reporters at the National Police headquarters in South Jakarta.
Although the plan has not yet been made official, Badrodin said he hoped there could be an agreement between the NCA and the National Police so that an instructor from the agency could be sent to train Indonesian officers.
The National Police have been hunting down militant groups in Poso for more than 14 years with little progress. Santoso and members of the radical Mujahidin Indonesia Timru (MIT) group have been known to operate in the region for the last four years, hiding out in local forests to avoid being
arrested.
Santoso’s arrest has become increasingly important as the police suspect that his group has been communicating with the Islamic State (IS) movement in Iraq and Syria.
During a recent gun battle with members of the gang allegedly led by Santoso, a police officer, identified as First Insp. Bryan T. Tatonas from Central Sulawesi’s Brimob, was fatally shot. A person believed to be part of the radical group also died from multiple gunshots during the shoot-out.
Badrodin said that there had been five shoot-outs since Monday, which involved 146 Brimob personnel, all of whom were still hunting for members of the group, thought to comprise 30 to 40 people.
“[One of the largest obstacles] is the size of the forest, which measures around 60 kilometers from end to end. If it was just a small 10-hectare area then we would have caught them by now,” he said.
He said that another reason the Santoso-led group had survived for years was because its members received support from locals in Poso.
“That’s one of their strategies. Some [of the group members] live among the local communities. This is why they can easily receive weapons,” he said.
Separately, Institute of International Peace Building founder Noor Huda Ismail disagreed with Badrodin and said that locals in Poso did not assist the Santoso group in a show of support, but out of resentment toward the police force.
“The police have wrongly arrested civilians [as terrorist suspects] and may have tortured them. However, these civilians were never rehabilitated or given compensation for their wrongful arrests,” he told The Jakarta Post.
Noor Huda said locals in Poso begrudged the presence of the Santoso group but were forced to provide its members with basic needs.
In order to overcome such obstacles, he said, the police force must become more engaged with local communities in the region.
“The police force must change the way they deal with the locals,” he said.

Indonesia, Boeing discuss Chinook offsets
By: GREG WALDRON SINGAPORE
Source: Flightglobal.com 7 hours ago
Indonesia is in discussions with Boeing about offsets related to a planned acquisition of four CH-47F Chinook helicopters.
Boeing technicians have visited Indonesian Aerospace (also known as Dirgantara Indonesia) in Bandung to discuss potential workshare in the programme, and the company has held talks with defence minister Ryamizard Ryacudu about the deal, according to a defence ministry statement.
“The Ministry of Defence plans to buy four Chinook helicopters to strengthen the air force's capabilities. This purchase can be tailored to the real threats facing Indonesia, especially the problem of natural disasters,” says the ministry.
In February, a previous statement from the ministry revealed that talks for the Chinook are underway.
Ten years ago, in 2005, Jakarta expressed interest in possibly obtaining four examples to bolster its disaster relief capabilities. CH-47Ds operated by Singapore were active in disaster relief operations following the 26 December 2004 tsunami, which laid waste to coastal regions of Indonesia’s Aceh province.

Yogyakarta (ANTARA News) - Police anti-terrorist squad Densus 88 arrested a man believed to be a terrorist in Cupuwatu village, Sleman, Yogyakarta, on Tuesday evening.
"Yesterday, an arrest was made for an alleged terrorist, who has so far been on the wanted list and is known by his initials SF (25)," the head of public relations at the Yogyakarta regional police command, Adjunct Senior Commissioner Anny Pudjiastuti, said on Wednesday.
She said the arrest of the alleged terrorist from Solo, Central Java, was made by members of Densus 88 at the National Police Headquarters at around 6.30pm while he was traveling on the road between Solo and Yogyakarta, and did not involve the Yogyakarta police command.
"The technicality and process of the arrest was handled by Jakarta," she said.
Pudjiastuti said the arrest came in the wake of another alleged terrorist being arrested in Solo, Central Java, on August 12.
"This is a result of the developments following the recent arrest in Solo," she said.
She said further developments in the case would be handled by the National Police Headquarters (Mabes). "It is currently being handled by Mabes. So its development is fully in the hands of Mabes," she stated.
On August 12, Densus 88 had arrested three men believed to be members of a terrorist group.
They were identified as Ibadurahman (19), a resident of Semanggi RT06 RW04, Pasar Kliwon, Solo, Yus Karman (31), a resident of Semanggi RT05 RW03, Pasar Kliwon, Solo, and Sugiyanto alias Gento (35), a resident of Semanggi RT06 RT05, Pasar Kliwon, Solo.(*)

Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) of South Korea is to design a new 6,300-tonne submarine rescue ship that is planned for delivery to the Republic of Korea Navy (RoKN) in 2021, a company representative told IHS Jane's on 21 August.
