God bless us, Indonesia actually managed to avoid such mess and back to civilized world.

We won back Irian Barat, and thats should be the end of our costly political endeavour and should strive hard to pursue economy development and stabilize the political chaos back home.

John Cockerill Defense's PWS Gen 2 completes trials


Belgium’s John Cockerill Defense (previously CMI Defence) has confirmed that its private venture Protected Weapon Station Generation 2 (PWS Gen 2) finished trials in late 2019 and is now at Technology Readiness Level 7 (TRL 7), meaning it is an operationally demonstrated prototype.

According to Simon Haye, chief marketing officer at John Cockerill Defense, “The PWS Gen 2 has now undergone successful firing trials integrated onto a French Arquus Vehicule de l’Avant Blinde [VAB] 6×6 Mk 3 armoured personnel carrier [APC] [and] targets were successfully engaged while the platform was moving, followed by engagement of moving targets while the platform was moving.”

During these trials, the PWS Gen 2 was armed with a Northrop Grumman Armament Systems (previously ATK) 25 mm M242 dual feed cannon with a 7.62 mm machine gun (MG) mounted co-axially to the left.

A John Cockerill Defense computerised fire control system (FCS), which includes a mast-mounted meteorological sensor, was coupled to a French SAFRAN stabilised roof-mounted panoramic sighting system with day/thermal channels and an eye-safe laser rangefinder.

The latest PWS Gen 2 was shown as a full-scale mock-up at the 2018 Eurosatory exhibition in Paris, and in late 2019 another full-scale mock-up was shown fitted to the latest Indonesian PT Pindad Komodo 4×4 APC. The system was demonstrated at the 2019 Bushmaster User Conference in the United States, installed on an Oshkosh Defense M-ATV 4×4 platform.

This good choice for our light armored vehicles

It is also very good if istalled on ANOA (arquus VAB look alike anoa)

Untung PKI ancur, seenggaknya kita ga buang2 tenaga buat konflik terbuka RI vs Inggris dkk. Tpi ya gara2 konfrontasi, warga ke2 negara ini musuhan (atau juga menjurus ke rasisme suku/etnis trntu). Masih suka berandai2 jika gada konfrontasi mgkn Malaysia-RI warganya biasa2 aja.

Ga juga lach. "Gesekan" dengan bangsa Beruk Jiran sudah dari jaman Majaphit dulu. Ingat Sumpah Palapa itu wilayah mana saja

Skadron Udara 3/TNI AU
Menanti bom JDAM TNI AU

CategoryAngkatan UdaraPosted onMay 25, 2020AuthorAntonius KK4 Comments

AIRSPACE REVIEW (airspace-review.com) – Seperti telah diberitakan beberapa waktu lalu, seiring dengan tahapan modernsasi 10 unit F-16A/B Block 15 OCU Fighting Falcon TNI AU melalui program Falcon STAR dan eMLU, jet-jet tempur tersebut juga akan dibekali sejumlah senjata canggih.

Selain rudal udara ke udara AIM-9X Block II Sidewinder dan AIM-120C-7 AMRAAM, bom pintar (smart bomb) JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition) pun akan menyusul.

Memang sudah waktunya “Sayap Udara Nusantara” masuk era kepemilikan munisi berpemandu presisi atau PGM (precision guided munition).

JDAM adalah munisi berpemandu presisi buatan Amerika Serikat yang memadukan keluarga bom konvensional standar AS (dan NATO) dengan kit pemandu terintegrasi inertial guidance system dan GPS (global positioning system).

Kit-kit buatan pabrikan Boeing tersebut bisa langsung dipasang pada bom-bom jenis Mk.82, Mk.83, dan Mk.84. Bom jenis Mk.82 berbobot 500 pon (225 kg), Mk.83 berbobot 1.000 pon (450 kg), dan Mk.84 berbobot 2.000 pon (900 kg). Ketiga bom standar NATO tersebut sudah lebih dulu dimiliki oleh TNI AU.

Sesudah diimbuhi kit JDAM, bom-bom itu berganti kode desainasinya menjadi GBU-38 (dari bom Mk.82), GBU-32 (dari bom Mk.83), dan GBU-31 (dari bom Mk.84).

JDAM diproduksi oleh Boeing selaku prime contractor dari program yang digawangi bersama USAF (AU AS) dan US Navy (AL AS). Bom ini mulai masuk dinas operasional tahun 1997.

Dalam berbagai pengujian hingga penggunaan awalnya di palagan Afganistan serta Irak, JDAM terbukti sangat akurat dalam perkenaan targetnya. Tingkat melesetnya atau yang dikenal dengan circular error of probability disebut-sebut sangat kecil.

Pemasangan kit JDAM pada bom konvensional tersebut juga sekaligus menjadikan daya jangkau bom lebih jauh. Jangkauan rata-rata bom JDAM berkisar 15-28 km, tergantung pada kecepatan angin, ketinggian, dan sudut pelepasan bom oleh jet tempur.

Sebenarnya tak hanya F-16A/B TNI AU hasil Falcon STAR dan eMLU yang mampu dipersenjatai JDAM. Jet-jet tempur TNI AU lainnya seperti F-16C/D, Hawk, T-50i dan Super Tucano pun bisa dipersenjatai JDAM, dengan syarat dibekali pod pemandu macam Sniper atau Litening.

Dan kalau mau melangkah lebih jauh, armada jet tempur Sukhoi Su-27 dan Su-30 Flanker TNI AU juga sebenarnya bisa mengusung JDAM, kendati harus terlebih dulu menjalani serangkaian modifikasi.

Sejauh ini AU India yang sudah terbukti berhasil memadukan armada Su-30MKI dengan PGM buatan Barat (kebanyakan yang dibeli India untuk Su-30MKI adalah PGM buatan Israel). Salah satu hal terpenting adalah pemasangan interkoneksi MIL-STD-1553 databus.

Wishing something like integrating JDAM to Sukhoi is a wet dream. Our flankers isn't like Malaysian or Indian which is western subsystem integrated from day one. Ours are almost 100% ruskies. I don't think US will allow it.

Also, if we're able to integrate our Su to carry western munitions, someone will use it as another excuse to buy more Su in the future

It's more than likely DSME.

It's only stalled eventually it can be restarted, opportunity won't lost. Such overreacting on his tweet.

Probably won't be lost but I wouldn't say it's an overreaction. For the most part our side of the issue isn't really blameless. What else were they expecting if they kept asking to cut corners?

Their Flankers can't use western munitions apart from the Paveway bomb. All of them still primarily use Russian made ordnance. Most of its systems are still Russian made and would only work with Russian equipment.

Looks like the Philippine plan to award PT PAL with 2 more SSV order.

Two more strategic sealift vessels are also planned and will be awarded to an Indonesian supplier, which already delivered two ships – the BRP Davao del Sur and BRP Tarlac. The two ships will cost P5.5 billion.

Does our plan to equip ALKI with SOSUS evaporated? If yes such unfortunate IMO

Imho, before moving on to fixed array like SOSUS in which maintenance intensive, the Navy should moving toward moving platform such as dedicated MPA/ASW aircraft helicopter and ASW equipped destroyer and frigates. In this field we are not up to the standard

I agree, what you listed in there is navy current goal for MEF phase (hopefully it still goin well even on condition like this). SOSUS is absolutely needed after we surpassed our current goal.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I heard wild rumors on navy Procurement, stated they pushed procurement on frigate, destroyer (heard it's platform going to be KDX III or omega), And something bigger (perhaps LPH). IgI can't confirm this rumor yet, you guys may take this rumor with grain of salt. Or perhaps someone here can confirm it? Idk.
