Electromagnetic Interference Test For Indonesian Lapan's ORARI Satellite.

One of the tests at the system level in satellite development is electromagnetic interference test. The test aims to avoid and, if possible, negating the electromagnetic emissions that can interfere with the system in the satellite itself or launcher system on the vehicle.

Interference can be caused by electromagnetic radiation (emitted) and conduction (connected). Testing refers to the MIL-STD-461F (standard test for electromagnetic interference), in which the symptoms are called CE (conducted emission), CS (conducted susceptibility), RE (radiated emission) and RS (radiated susceptibility).

The test is done in Anechoic Chamber P2SMTP (Research Centre of Quality System and Testing Technology) LIPI, Puspitek located in Serpong, Tangerang. Testing is done by turning on the satellite component of electromagnetic emissions that have alternately and together, and measure the level of emissions.

Remembering the First Indonesian Made Fighter; NU 200 Sikumbang (1954)

Long before the frenzied creation plan of KFX jet fighter / IFX, precisely in August 1, 1954, a light plane that has been categorized as a fighter actually aired in the homeland. That aircraft was later named NU-200 Sikumbang. Currently, Air Force Major Nurtanio's aircraft design can be seen at the facility of PT. Indonesian Aerospace in Bandung, West Java. Many readers may already know about this plane. Taken from Angkasa Magazine October 1955 issue of TH.VI. Here is the gist.

What happened to the plane? Was it cancelled before production?

Yep, budget constraint and growing rebellions in the mid 50's and the continuing conflict with the Britain and Netherland since 1960-67 sucked up pretty much national budgets and resources and left this project unattended. The government turned their face for foreign aircraft due to imminent need of large number of aircraft. These planes never saw any combat other than tests. The earlier versions of Nu-series were only produced in small numbers, under 100 pieces. The aerospace industry was back on its feet in early 1970's.

The Netherlands and Indonesia solidified on Wednesday their intention to increase defense cooperation while at the same time reaffirmed Indonesia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Visiting Dutch Defense Minister Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert held a bilateral meeting with her counterpart Purnomo Yusgiantoro to discuss measures to strengthen defense cooperation.

The cooperation will include training and education, seminars and exchanges between military officers of both countries.

Principal director of General Policy Affairs at the Dutch Defense Ministry, Wim Bargerbos, and director general of Defense Strategy at Indonesia’s Defense Ministry, Sonny ES Prasetyo, signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) on measures to increase defense cooperation.

The LoI is expected to be transferred into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that will be signed in the near future.

Yusgiantoro has also extended an invitation to Hennis-Plasschaert to attend the Jakarta International Defense Dialogue in March.

Both ministers also discussed various global and regional issues such as the Korean Peninsula, South China Sea disputes as well as internal conflicts in the Middle East and East Africa.

Responding to a question regarding elements in the Netherlands backing separatist movements in Indonesia, Hennis-Plasschaert said that her country was committed to respecting Indonesia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

She also said she was sorry that an initial negotiation for Indonesia to buy surplus Dutch Leopard two main battle tanks had fallen apart due to opposition from some Dutch parliament members.

Hennis-Plasschaert also gave a general lecture to students from the Indonesian Defense University (IDU).

She said the Dutch Defense White Paper had emphasized closer military cooperation and the importance of economic security for the Netherlands.

Responding to a question from one of the students, Hennis-Plasschaert said her country had extensive experience in anti-piracy operations, a problem faced by Indonesia in the Malacca Straits.

She suggested Indonesian navy officers undergo anti-piracy training onboard Dutch warships.

Indonesian Defense Company Pindad ready to launch new light tracked armoured vehicle.

Thursday, October 31, 2013 08:22 AM

Prototype Armored Personnel Carrier

The Indonesian Defense Company Pindad is ready to launch its first tracked light armoured vehicle personnel carrier. The vehicle enters now in the phase to produce a prototype.

The vehicle is based on a tracked chassis. The suspension consists of five small roadwheels with the drive sprocket at the front and the idler at the rear. The Pindad light armoured vehicle is motorized with water cooled 6 cylinder diesel engine developing 250 hp.

A cooperation understanding was signed between Indonesia and Turkey for the development of light and medium tank during the 11th International Defence Industries Fair (IDEF) held in Istanbul, earlier this month. Two Indonesian industrial organisation namely PT PINDAD and PT LEN will be respectively cooperating with FNSS Defence System and ASELSAN as part of the tank development cooperation understanding.

The Indonesian has set the period of three to five years for the eventual production of the light/medium tank. It has been reported that the design for the light/medium tank will be concluded this year while the prototype is scheduled to be rolled off next year.

On 2013, Pindad has unveiled its plan to manufacture light/medium tank based on the Alvis Scorpion CVRT and Rheinmettal Marder IFV, hence it is unsure to what extend does the collaboration with Turkish industries would influence on the initial design plan.

I don't know if M113's design influenced this, but BMP's design is surely influencing SBS's design.

Thai Navy discussing transport purchase with PTDI


The Royal Thai Navy (RTN) is in discussion with PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) over the potential purchase of up to 20 twin-turbo N219 utility transport aircraft, IHS Jane's has learned.

PTDI officials attending the Defense and Security 2013 exhibition in Bangkok told IHS Jane's on 5 November that they expect to sign a contract in 2014 to build and supply the aircraft in collaboration with local company Thai Aviation Industries (TAI).

Officials said the agreement is likely to centre on the production of the aircraft in Indonesia with technologies transferred to TAI to facilitate localised maintenance, repair, and overhaul activities.

As expected, the Thai Navy as part of the new aircraft will replace the outdated N22 Nomad Searchmasters and F27 Friendship, put the Thai military in the 1980s.

Officials said the agreement is likely to centre on the production of the aircraft in Indonesia with technologies transferred to TAI to facilitate localised maintenance, repair, and overhaul activities.
