Indonesia targets 2018 completion of indigenous submarine

Quote:

State-owned shipbuilder PT PAL will complete an indigenously-built Chang Bogo-class diesel-electric submarine (SSK) by 2018, Indonesia's Defence Industrial Policy Committee (KKIP) said on 19 February.

The KKIP, established in October 2010 to formalise national policies on defence procurement and indigenous manufacturing, was responding to discussion of the Indonesian government's decision to invest a further USD250 million in the local shipbuilder. PT PAL was allocated the funding to enable it to modernise its facilities in order to construct and support submarines.

Indonesia's first and second Chang Bogo-class SSKs, scheduled to be delivered by 2017, are currently being constructed by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) with gradually increased input from PT PAL engineers and technicians. The third SSK will be license-built in a PT PAL shipyard in Indonesia.

To date, the KKIP has sent 206 personnel to South Korea to work with DSME.

Admiral Purnawirawan Sumardjono, head of the KKIP, said that the bigger picture behind these arrangements is for Indonesia to develop the capacity to operate 12 submarines. "We have 5 million km 2 of water to patrol. At this point in time, we only have two [boats]", said Adm Sumardjono. The Indonesian Navy (TNI-AL) currently operates two German-built Cakra Type 209/1300 submarines, built in the 1970s.

The admiral added that Indonesia ultimately plans to move away from imports as a means of fulfilling its defence requirements, including in the underwater domain. "If we are embargoed, we are finished", he said. "A country that takes charge of its own needs via an indigenous defence industry can have its say in world politics".

COMMENTS
Given Indonesia's current level of local experience in building submarines, the build timeline set out by the KKIP seems optimistic.

No concerted work appears to be underway as yet on the infrastructure upgrade, and reports suggest only a small proportion of the industrial workforce has been sent for training in South Korea.

Moreover, building a boat of this size can take 4-5 years when supported by an established knowledge base and production line. Taking these steps into account, it may be more likely that a boat assembled locally (following material build elsewhere) could be ready by 2020, with a locally built boat ready in 2022.

[Indos]

N-270 will compete R-80 right ? How can PT DI make a product that will be in the same market with R-80 (PT DI/PT Ragio) ? Where is the rational ? Or N-270 is maybe designed for military purpose.....I hope we just can start making Hercules class airplane....in domestic market only....at least 50 are needed for our air force and army (to replace our 30 old Hercules)

Netherlands, RI maintain naval ties

Historical friendship: Commander of the Royal Netherlands Navy Vice Adm. Matthieu Borsboom (center) presents the Prins Hendrik medal of honor to the Indonesian Navy, represented by Indonesian Navy chief of staff Adm. Marsetio (left) in an event to commemorate the Battle of the Java Sea, commemorated every year on Feb. 27, in Surabaya, Thursday. The medal is meant to honor cooperation and friendship between the two countries. JP/Indra Hapsaputra

The Royal Netherlands Navy (RNN) is committed to increasing cooperation with the Indonesian Navy in various sectors, Navy chief of staff Adm. Marsetio said on Thursday.

“In the education sector, we are sending a number of officers to study with the RNN,” he told The Jakarta Post after receiving the Prins Hendrik medal of honor on behalf of the Navy, in honor of the cooperation between the two navies.

“We also have cooperation in the procurement of new warships such as the SIGMA corvettes and a guided-missile destroyer escort [PKR].”

The medal was handed over by the RNN commander Vice Adm. Matthieu Borsboom on the KRI Ahmad Yani-351 which was berthed at the Madura Pier in the Eastern Fleet headquarters in Surabaya.

Also attending the ceremony was Dutch Ambassador to Indonesia Tjeerd de Zwaan and Eastern Fleet commander Rear Adm. Agung Pramono. The Prins Hendrik medal of honor has been awarded since 1998 to individuals or institutions who have made an exceptional contributions to the RNN. “I hope the cooperation between TNI AL [Navy] and the RNN can thrive and be constructive and increase in the future,” Marsetio said.

He added that Navy was the second institution to receive the medal after the British Royal Navy, which received it in 2010.

“Indonesia is the second country to get the medal with the UK the first. This is natural because the UK and the Netherlands are neighbors.”

Meanwhile, Borsboom said the RNN had been cooperating with the Navy for almost 30 years with significant benefits.

There are a number of Indonesian loan words that are still in use in the RNN such as “barang” (goods), “baru” (new) and “Atjeh jasje” (Aceh military coat). On Wednesdays, Indonesian-style dinners are served aboard all Dutch warships.

The KRI Ahmad Yani-351 is the leading vessel of six Ahmad Yani-class frigates. The warships were formerly Van Speijk-class frigates of the RNN.

The Navy operates four Diponegoro-class SIGMA corvettes and a SIGMA PKR is currently under construction by Dutch shipbuilder Damen Group with the involvement of state-owned shipyard PT PAL.

Before the medal award ceremony, Borsboom led a ceremony at the Kembang Kuning Ereveld cemetery to commemorate the Battle of the Java Sea, which took place on Feb. 27, 1942. The battle saw the annihilation of the Allied forces by an Imperial Japanese fleet, which allowed Japan to occupy the then Dutch East Indies largely unopposed.

Previously, Borsboom had conducted a series of courtesy calls to Defense Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro, the Indonesian Military chief Gen. Moeldoko and Marsetio.

Liputan6.com, Jakarta Tak hanya Amerika Serikat dan Eropa, industri pertahanan Indonesia terus berusaha bangkit untuk mengurangi ketergantungan pada negara lain. Untuk menjadi digdaya di atas kaki sendiri.

Salah satu yang dikembangkan adalah roket. Di penghujung Maret 2012 lalu, Kementerian Pertahanan melakukan uji coba penembakan Roket Pertahanan (R-Han) 122 di Pusat Latihan Tempur TNI AD, Baturaja, Sumatera Selatan.

R-Han 122 berfungsi sebagai senjata berdaya ledak optimal dengan sasaran darat dan jarak tembak sampai 15 kilometer.

Tak sampai di situ. Setelah keberhasilan R-Han 122 mengisi alat utama sistem senjata (alutsista) TNI, kini Lembaga Penerbangan dan Antariksa Nasional (Lapan) kembali mengembangkan roket R-Han. Kali ini dengan target daya jelajah 100 km.

Untuk roket pertahanan ini, pengembangannya diambil dari roket RX-320 dan RX-450. "R-Han tersebut akan dipenuhi oleh RX-320 untuk jangkauan 70 km dan RX-450 untuk jangkauan 100 km," kata Kapusroket Lapan, Dr Rika Andiarti kepada Liputan6.com di Jakarta, Kamis 27 Februari 2014.

Senjata jenis baru itu dikembangkan oleh konsorsium roket yang terdiri dari Kemenristek, Kemenhan, PT Dirgantara Indonesia, PT Dahana, dan PT Pindad.

Rika menambahkan, RX-320 sudah bisa dikembangkan menjadi roket pertahanan namun RX-450 perlu uji statis kembali.

"Sedangkan untuk RX-450 akan dilakukan uji statis ulang. Karena di uji statik pertama hasilnya belum bagus," imbuh wanita berjilbab ini.

Untuk pengembangan roket-roket tanah air diperlukan banyak bahan pendorong atau propelan. Saat ini untuk bahan baku propelan masih bergantung pada impor negara lain. Pemerintah pun merencanakan membangun pabrik propelan di areal PT Dahana.

Dihubungi secara terpisah, Koordinator Proyek Khusus PT Dahana, Yusep Nugraha mengatakan, pihaknya siap menampung pembangunan pabrik bahan berenergi tinggi di areal PT Dahana di Kabupaten Subang, Jawa Barat. Namun, pembangunan ini terkendala perencanaan anggaran.

"Proyeknya saja masih dalam perencanaan anggaran. Kalau merujuk kemandirian dan kebutuhan pertahanan, kita ingin pabrik propelan dibangun mulai tahun 2014, tapi pada akhirnya pemerintah yang akan menentukan kapan anggaran untuk propelan bisa dialokasikan," tutur Yusep. (Raden Trimutia Hatta)

Indonesia Develop rocket R-Han with 100 Km range

Indonesia's defense industry continues to rise to reduce dependence on other countries . To be digdaya on their feet .

One rocket is developed . At the end of March 2012 , the Ministry of Defence test-fired Rocket Defense ( R - Han ) 122 on the Army Combat Training Centre , Balfour , South Sumatra .

R - Han 122 serves as an explosive weapon optimally targeting land and a range of up to 15 kilometers .Do not stop there . After the success of R - Han 122 fills the main tools of weapons systems ( defense equipment) TNI , now Institute of Aeronautics and Space Agency ( Lapan ) re- develop the rocket R - Han . This time the target of 100 km cruising range .To rocket this defense , rocket development taken from the RX - 320 and RX - 450 . " R - Han will be met by the RX - 320 to reach 70 miles and RX - 450 to a range of 100 km , " said Lapan Kapusroket , Dr. Rika Andiarti to Liputan6.com in Jakarta , Thursday, February 27, 2014 .

The new type of weapon was developed by a consortium consisting of rocket Kemenristek , Kemenhan , PT Indonesian Aerospace , PT Dahana , and PT Pindad .Rika added , RX - 320 was able to be developed into a rocket RX - 450 defense but need a static test back ." As for the RX - 450 will do the static test repeated .

Due in the first static test results have not been good , " said the veiled woman .For the development of ground water rockets required a lot of driving or propellant material . Currently propellant for raw materials is still dependent on imports of other countries .

The government also plans to build a factory in the area of PT Dahana propellant .Contacted separately , Special Projects Coordinator PT Dahana , Yusep Nugraha said it is ready to accommodate the construction of high-energy materials plant in the area of PT Dahana in Subang Regency , West Java . However , this development is constrained budget planning ."

The project is still only in the planning budget . When referring independence and defense needs , we want propellant plant was built starting in 2014 , but in the end the government will decide when the budget for the propellant can be allocated , " said Yusep . ( Raden Trimutia Hatta )

Japan, Indonesia to arrange defense, foreign ministers' meeting

Japan and Indonesia agreed Saturday to convene a meeting of their defense and foreign ministers at an early date to enhance security ties, Japanese officials said.

During talks in Jakarta, Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida and his counterpart Marty Natalegawa reaffirmed an accord reached by the two countries' leaders last December in Tokyo to bolster security cooperation by holding a ministerial meeting.

Referring to territorial disputes in the South China Sea between China and some member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, Kishida expressed Tokyo's support for compiling a code of conduct to avert conflicts. Natalegawa said it is important to expedite negotiations, according to the officials.

Kishida aired concerns over a recent Indonesian ban on exports of unrefined ores such as nickel in order to foster its own industries, saying such a ban would "seriously affect the Japanese economy," they added.
