The Navy is to enhance the monitoring of maritime defense by establishing a new primary base in Papua.

"We will establish the 12th Indonesian Primary Navy Base in Sorong, Papua," said Primary Navy Base X commander in Jayapura Commodore Putu Wijamahaadi, as quoted by the Antara news agency on Friday.

Wijamahaadi said the establishment of the new base would increase the number of naval bases in Papua to three. The other two bases are Base X in Jayapura and Base XI in Merauke, he said.

He expected the construction of the new base in Papua would reduce the number of violations of maritime law in the area. "The waters in the area are prone to illegal fishing," Wijamahaadi said.

Marder Harder!
Thursday, 07 February 2013 10:54 | Written by aryo nugroho

The excerpts of other first-hand information received was about the fate of Marder. Despite its status as an IFV (Infantry Fighting Vehicle), the first hand recipient will be the Army Cavalry. The reasons is because of administrative convenience. Going forward, from 50 Marder 1A3 amount to be received by the Army, most will be assigned to infantry battalions, while the rest is used by the Cavalry.

Especially for the Marder 1A3 which will be used by the Army Cavalry, the IFV will be modified with the help of PT Pindad. This is not out of the ToT agreement between Indonesia and Germany, which Indonesia will receive Marder 1A3 blueprint as a whole, which means PT Pindad will be able to make Marder own production line from the first stage with the assistance of the Germans. Surely Pindad itself needs help from other strategic industries, such as PT Krakatau Steel which are expected to develop metal with a specific hardness to meet the needs of manufacturing armor for the IFV.

Army itself hoping that PT Pindad will be able to oversee the manufacturing process of the Marder, which will directed as a basis for the development of a medium tanks. To meet those needs, the Army itself has done a preliminary study of the accuracy of the type dome to be installed, because as we know, there are a number of options available. One offered today are the dome-caliber 105mm cannon OTO Hitfact capable of firing 105mm APFSDS ammunition to fight tanks. But for the final product selected, would require further evaluation.
