Indonesia's state-owned PT Pindad and BAE Systems have signed a deal to explore opportunities for industrial collaboration, the UK-headquartered company confirmed to IHS Jane's on 22 September.

The memorandum of understanding (MoU), which was signed at the DSEI 2015 defence exhibition in London, facilitates potential co-operation on each company's defence products and the development in Indonesia of cyber-security capabilities.

"The MoU is a framework agreement allowing both companies to explore opportunities for co-operation across the range of BAE Systems and PT Pindad's products and to support PT Pindad's intent to establish a cyber capability," said a BAE Systems spokesperson.

BAE Systems did not elaborate on the scope of the potential collaboration but PT Pindad specialises in land systems products, including firearms, munitions and military vehicles such as the 4x4 Komodo and the 6x6 Anoa armoured personnel carriers.

Sudah saatnya dipisah bandaranya, terakhir naek batik air ke Jogja dipaksa muter dulu 1 jam sebelum turun, masih dipake TNI-AU buat latihan. Jam penerbangan berikutnya berantai kelabakan molor semua.

Sepertinya, kedepan trendnya memang seperti itu. Akan ada pemisahan penggunaan bandara sipil & militer, tapi karena dana terbatas, jadi harus ada prioritas. Dimulai dari bandara2 super sibuk baru ke bandara yang kepadatannya lebih rendah..

Klo tdk salah budget hankam 2016 prioritas lebih banyak untuk pembangunan infrastruktur militer & perawatan/upgrade dibandingkan pengadaan persenjataan baru.

Contohnya di Natuna, 400M buat bangun infrastruktur militer, mengorbankan dana pengembangan IFX/KFX.

Indonesia, Iran agree to enhance bilateral cooperation
Sabtu, 26 September 2015 02:20 WIB | 778 Views

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Indonesian Foreign Affairs Minister Retno Marsudi and her Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif have agreed to enhance bilateral cooperation between Indonesia and Iran.

The Indonesian foreign minister took part in the bilateral meeting before attending a United Nations session in New York, according to a press release from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs received here on Friday.

At the meeting, the two foreign ministers agreed to boost cooperation between Indonesia and Iran, including in the areas of trade, investment, and energy.

In addition, the Indonesian foreign minister will visit Iran in October. The visit is expected to increase bilateral cooperation between the two countries, considering the United Nations Security Councils approval to the Iran nuclear deal.

During the visit, the two foreign ministers will explore the establishment of a joint business council.

"As a friendly country, Iran invited Indonesias foreign minister and its businessmen to Tehran as part of the efforts to strengthen cooperation and explore opportunities for increasing economic cooperation," Zarif emphasized.

The Iranian foreign minister also lauded Indonesias initiative to hold a meeting of key countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to seek a peaceful resolution to the conflicts in Middle East.

Minister Zarif pointed out that Iran considered lending support to Indonesia to become a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council for the 2019-2020 period.

Earlier, the two foreign ministers, who met before attending a United Nations session in New York, agreed that dialog is the key to putting an end to regional conflicts.

Retno stated that Indonesia welcomed the signing of the Joint Comprehensive Action Plan between Iran and members of the United Nations Security Council and Germany after a nuclear agreement was reached between Tehran, permanent members of the Security Council, and Germany.

"The (nuclear) agreement was a historical event that was expected to improve relations between Iran and the West and serve as a starting point for the settlement of conflicts in the Middle East," Retno emphasized.

The two foreign ministers gave serious attention to political and security developments in the Middle East.

Retno stressed on the importance of dialog and diplomacy in settling the conflicts in the Middle East, including in Syria.

"Iran and Indonesia agreed that inclusive dialog involving all parties, internal and external, related to the Syrian conflict is important," Retno affirmed.

"The Iranian foreign minister hopes that Indonesia could contribute to creating national reconciliation in Syria," she added.(*)

Hawaii Air National Guard completes first ever Indonesia air defense subject matter expert exchange

The three day exchange took place near Halim International Airport in Indonesia’s capital of Jakarta. This was the first time a SMEE involving air defense had been conducted between the HIANG and Kohanudnas, the component of the Indonesian armed forces responsible for air defense.

“The team’s immediate goal was to lay the foundation for a productive relationship between the Hawaii Air National Guard and the Kohanudnas.” said Maj. Michael O’Donnell, Mission Crew Commander, 169th Air Defense Squadron.

“Long term, we would like to have an enduring partnership with the Kohanudnas that promotes stability in the region.”

The exchanges were part of the National Guard’s State Partnership Program. The program matches a state’s National Guard with a partner country in order to build capacity and reinforce security cooperation. Program partners engage in a wide range of security cooperation activities such as homeland defense, disaster response, and interagency cooperation.

“The State Partnership Program is a Department of Defense joint security cooperation program administered by the National Guard.” said Maj. Robert Galino, Theater Command and Control Officer with the 109th Air Operations Group.

“It supports the combatant commander’s security cooperation objectives and Ambassador’s intergrated country strategies.”

A team of seven HIANG personnel from the 169th ADS and 109th AOG engaged with Kohanudnas on topics ranging from air battle management, target identification, target tracking, and data transmission.

“It’s very important to share experiences with air defense and to learn and collaborate with each other as we share in the common goal of peace and security.” said Galino.

“We hope to continue our relationship with Indonesia…to not just include the tactical level, but operational and maybe strategic.”

The partnership with Indonesia was just one example of the HIANG’s execution of the SPP mission and reflects the National Guard’s growing international affairs mission. In August, the HIANG hosted air defense officials from the Philippine Air Force for bi-lateral learning and discussions. The HIANG teams up with the Guam National Guard to execute the SPP mission with the Philippines.

Currently, the National Guard maintains SPP relations with 76 nations around the world.

“The purpose of the State Partnership Program is to build mutually beneficial military relationships with foreign nations. This is accomplished by face to face interactions that foster professional and personal contacts.” said O’Donnell.

House agrees to proposal to raise military budget
Saturday, 26 September 2015 02:06 WIB | 507 Views

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Chairman of the Commission I of the House of Representatives Mahfudz Siddiq said the Commission had agreed to proposal for additional budget for the military.

"In principle, Commission I agrees to the proposal to increase the military budget by Rp37 trillion," Mahfud said here on Friday.

Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu has proposed the increase in budget to buy more military equipment and improve the welfare of the soldier.

In the draft state budget, the defense ministry was given a budget of Rp95 trillion less than its original proposal of Rp105 trillion.

Around Rp30 trillion of the proposed additional budget would be used to buy military equipment, Mahfud said.

In 2015, the budget for the military is Rp102 trillion.

Ryamizard also proposed to set aside Rp450 billion of the military to strengthen military bases in border areas such as on the island of Natuna.

Strong Natuna base is important with potential conflicts in South China Sea, the retired four star general said.(*)

What's the armed specs on this ship, Sister @madokafc ? She looks beautiful....!

the first pic is a support vessels, her intended roles is for surveillance and mapping of ocean floor.

The below picture is an Fatahillah class corvette, her intended roles is for ASW operation. Armed with Harpoon missiles, limbo ASW mortar, 100 mm cannon, and several other 20 mm automatic cannon.

the first pic is a support vessels, her intended roles is for surveillance and mapping of ocean floor.

That's good to see that the Indonesian Navy is actively mapping her archipelagic-broad ocean floor. This will be crucially imperative for future advanced sumbarine surveillance , not to mention possibility of easier extraction and tapping of hidden energy resources throughout the Indonesian-controlled areas of the Malay Archipelago.

The first ship; does she have any defense armament or just an unarmed scientific vessel?

The second ship; the Fatahillah class, its the first time ive seen this class of ship till now. I like the crisp clean design, very linear and clean design. I like her look. And she's well armed it appears.
