JAKARTA — The National Police have launched an investigation into allegedly terrorism-linked money transfers worth Rp 7 billion (S$710,368) from Australia to Indonesia, possibly to pay for Indonesians to join the Islamic State movement in Syria.

Gen Badrodin Haiti, the chief of National Police, said the information came from the country’s anti-money laundering agency, the Financial Transactions Report and Analysis Centre (PPATK).


“It will take time to determine who was behind this,” Badrodin said yesterday (Dec 1).

The PPATK has been working together with its counterpart Down Under, the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (Austrac).

According to the deputy head of the PPATK, Santoso, the Rp 7 billion came from an Australian national living there.

Hundreds of Indonesians are believed to have joined IS and other radical groups in Iraq and Syria in recent years.

An IS financier was jailed by a Jakarta court last month. JAKARTA GLOBE

Jokowi Wants L-Band Satellite Slot Secured

President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo asked his staff about the state's financial ability to secure the L-Band satellite slot used for mobile communications.
During the opening of a closed cabinet meeting, the President asked the Defense Ministry and the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology to give him the details of how much it would cost for the government to get the slot.

"I want more details about the budget, cost and what have been decided so we can follow-up on this," the president said here on Friday, December 4.

Jokowi said that L-Band satellite possesses great benefits, that's why, the government wants to procure it. One of said benefits would be to help develop communications in remote areas and outer islands.

The satellite can also be used to enhance marine communication systems and vessel monitoring systems.

Indonesia has an L-Band satellite that orbits in the mentioned slot, however, a fuel leak had caused the satellite to orbit outside its provided slot.

The government has decided to secure the slot—so that no other countries would take it—by confirming Indonesia's present in that slot.

The government plans to have the satellite used by the Maritime Security Agency (Bakamla) and the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), so that they can monitor natural disasters, sea and forest explorations, and have a general view and coverage of the Southeast and East Asian regions.

Rudiantara, Minister of Communication and Information Technology, said that Indonesia actually has several satellite slots for them to orbit on, but there is only one slot for an L-Band satellite, which is specifically used for mobile communications.

Many Indonesian high tech companies are in Bandung, the place where ITB (Bandung Institute of Technology) and many big high tech state owned enterprises and Government research agencies located.

Some promising Indonesian high tech private owned companies founders are actually from former employee of PT Dirgantara/ LEN/ ITB lecturer etc

:tup:

Trickle down effect or positive externality of our existing strategic state owned companies and agencies isnt it....?

KAI signs further Indonesian co-operation agreement

Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) has continued its engagement with Indonesia in the development of the Korean Fighter Experimental (KFX) aircraft after signing a co-operation agreement with Indonesian state-owned company PT Dirgantara.

The deal was signed on 4 December in Jakarta by KAI CEO Ha Sung-yong and Budi Santoso, president of PT Dirgantara. Its aim is to establish the framework of closer ties between the two companies necessary to allow joint development and production of the KFX, as well as to promote collaboration in associated capabilities, such as unmanned platforms and commercial aerospace.

This follows a recent agreement between KAI and the Indonesian government on 22 November detailing investment and workshare arrangements in the KFX programme.

Actually KFX will be operated like Apache Guardian that will fly along the UAV/UCAV

I wonder this UAV/UCAV accompanying KFX/IFX will be stealth as well and will be design by both companies (KAI and PT DI)

Hell no

KFX will be operated just like what a fighter is be operated, yes they can/or may develop sharing data abilities, but flying along with UAV will negate much of Fighter capability.

And AH-64E is not fly along with UAV but they had a capability to sharing real times data to ensure the awareness of combat situations.....
 
It is really a very good idea for KIA and PT DI to collaborate on civil aircraft, maybe N 219, N 245 and R 80 will be collaborated with South Korea as well, like using South Korea radars for planes offered there, and other cooperation possibilities as well. Thus will help those planes to penetrate South Korea market, win win situation, and South Korea has already operated CN 235 for their coast guard for quite long time.

Getting South Korea as a customer of that new civilian planes will help the marketing effort of that programs.
