PT TES Makes Multi Tank and F-16 Simulator

Some of the products

Various simulators for aircraft and combat vehicles are produced by PT Technology and Engineering Simulation (TES). One that is quite interesting is a simulator that can be used for several types of combat vehicles.

The type of this simulator is the order of the Education Center Cavalry Army. Unlike simulators in general where one simulator is for one type of tool, Multiranpur simulators can be replaceable (program).

"We are building Multiranpur, 3-year project hopefully will be completed this year. It is quite unique, to save as replaceable 3 types of tanks," said President Director of PT TES Muhammad Mulia Tirtosudiro in office, Mekar Wangi village, Lembang , West Bandung, West Java, on Thursday (04/09/2015).

Multiranpur can be changed to the cabin simulator Scorpion tanks, tank Stormer and AMX tanks. Looking ahead, TES will develop to make the main cabin Leopard battle tank.

With such efficiency, means that the government can save considerable cost. The reason for the creation of the simulator is not fairly cheap price.

"The simulator is designed to operate for 20 years. The price is approaching the price of the aircraft, depending on the configuration. If the world over defense equipment purchased price it costs. If we are almost close to the original," explains Business Development Manager of TES, Muhammad Iqbal Tirtusudiro in the same location.

Multiranpur Simulator is the only simulator in the world that could be changed for some type of combat vehicle. Iqbal was the artificial TES simulators can compete with foreign-made products, especially the staff of PT TES itself is still young and has a lot of potential.

"Actually, they can compete, in the value of the simulator accuracy and simulator packet data. In the world there are many source so it does not have to rely on just one source ( country). It can be done because of regular cooperation between the companies. The principle that we want is to maintain technical competence. Keep what goods, if our program can make it. Clearly if the government want to make it, we will be very happy, "said Iqbal.

"We are good at simulation software. So if we want to use the module so Korea, we can, depending on the agreement. We are 90 percent locally made. Software, mathematical models, the connection between software, visual database are all local made. It can and are ready to compete," continued the ITB (Bandung Institut of technology) graduates.

Multirampur Simulator built in Padalarang Cavalry Education Center, Bandung, in 3 stages. The first stage is for the Scorpion, the second stage for Stormer, and which is currently in the process of completion are cabins for AMX tank.

This simulator designer turns come directly from the Army Research and Development Center. In manufacturing, PT TES takes 4 years in which a special year to make the concept. Taiwan is said as being negotiated for the manufacture of this Multiranpur simulator.

"Yes is being negotiated. Perhaps the concept is the same, but the visual is difference. Due to be distinguished for the same country outside," said Business Development PT TES, Gerald S Manurung added.

A number of simulators have been developed by this company. Like Hawk simulator for Malaysia and the Indonesian Air Force. CN-235 simulators and tank ACV 300 Simulators ( 5 pieces ) are for Malaysia. Simulators for Indonesian Air Force that has been made by PT TES is for Hawk fighter, Super Puma helicopter, and Bell 412 helicopter.

Project which are currently under development are Multiranpur, F-16 simulator, and anti warships flight simulator for the (Indonesian) Navy. PT TES also exploring local content for the manufacture of Sukhoi simulator.

"Actually, the most important in the manufacture of the simulator is to make the model or the software to be able to actually represent such defense equipment," added Gerald.

TEMPO/Johannes P. Christo

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Indonesia is placed at 12th in the world’s military ranking with power index 0.5231, according to Global Firepower, which ranks military power based on 50 indicators, which include budget, infrastructure and energy reserves without including nuclear capability.

“The most important thing is not the military rank achieved by Indonesia, but what countries are in the top five and what can we do for improvement,” said Hanafi Rais, deputy chairman of commission I of the House of Representatives, on Wednesday, September 16.

The top five countries are the United States, Russia, China, India and Britain.

Hanafi said even though Indonesia is in the 12th place, Indonesia is still far behind the top five countries in terms of military quality. Therefore, improvement must be done through modernization of primary weaponry defense system and strengthening of defense strategy.

He explained that the strengthening of defense strategy is in line with President Joko Widodo and TNI commander Gatot Nurmantyo’s vision that emphasizes land and sea border control.

“Besides that, we need to modernize other equipment, such as radar to safeguard Indonesia’s airspace, including taking over Indonesia’s flight information region that is used by Singapore in northern Bintan Island,” said Hanafi.

Ministry to set up paramilitary force in border areas
Nani Afrida, The Jakarta Post, Natuna, Riau Islands | National | Thu, September 17 2015, 4:57 PM

Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu revealed on Wednesday a government plan to hold military training for civilians living in border areas. Such training would allow them to join in efforts to maintain the country’s territorial sovereignty.

“If the country faces serious threats, people should assist the military to protect the country. It is impossible for the military to protect the country without getting any support from the people,” Ryamizard told reporters on the sidelines of his visit to Natuna, Riau Islands.

He said that people in places like Natuna would be given priority in the military training program.

“[Natuna] is situated on our outer border area. Natuna’s residents should be trained [how to protect their country] and they should know about war,” he said, adding that the military training program could start next year.

Natuna, located between Malaysia and Kalimantan, is part of the Riau Islands Province. It has 154 islands, of which only 27 are inhabited. The 27 islands are home to 85,000 residents, comprising 50,000 adults.

Currently, at least 300 military personnel from the Army and Navy are guarding Natuna, which is also located near the disputed South China Sea.

Ryamizard said that because Natuna was very important to Indonesia, protecting the area was a priority for the government.

“We will hold military training for the adults. There will be a paramilitary group here,” Ryamizard said.

Besides Natuna, the government plans to implement a similar program in other border areas such as Merauke, Maluku, and in the border areas of Sulawesi and Kalimantan.

The regent of Natuna, Ilyas Sabli, welcomed the plan, saying that the people on the island had in fact sought for the opportunity to form a paramilitary group.

“We need the skills because we live in a border area. We also want to protect our land. When the military needs us, we will be ready,” Ilyas said on Wednesday.

Ryamizard said that the military would train civilians in the border areas, although there was no plan to distribute weapons to them.

“It is just training. We will not allow them to keep weapons,” Ryamizard said.

Earlier this year, Ryamizard said that he planned to enlist at least 100 million reservists who could be deployed to defend the country. The recruitment plan was also aimed at rekindling a sense of nationalism, especially among the country’s younger generation.

The plan to involve civilians to back up the military is not a new idea. The government has pushed the House of Representatives to pass a military reservist bill.

According to the draft bill, citizens who are older than 18 would be obliged to participate in five years of military duty under the condition that they pass a number of tests. Furthermore, citizens could be called on until the age of 45.

If a citizen refuses to take part, they could be imprisoned for one to two years.

Rights groups are strongly opposed to the proposal of mandatory military service, saying that the plan would compromise the capability of the Indonesian Military (TNI), and that training from the program could easily be abused by subversive organizations.
