Pindad Chief: Defence industry to boost national economy

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BANDUNG -- The national defense industry must grow as one of the nation's economic backbones, Silmy Karim, the new president director of state-owned weapons manufacturer PT Pindad, stated here on Tuesday.

"Indonesia has a huge potential to build a national, self-reliant defense industry. The rise and growth of the defense industry will reflect the success of technology development, human resource empowerment, and national defense," he affirmed.

The newly appointed president director Karim stated that as part of his plans to transform Pindad, he would first complete the work started by his predecessor Sudirman Said, who is currently the minister of energy and mineral resources.

"We are committed to support the government's policy to build a self-reliant defense industry," he noted.

Karim said Pindad has pioneered various partnership programs to help boost technology transfer and open new markets, while referring to the cooperation agreement signed with Rheinmetall Denel Munition (RDM) from Germany to build a large-caliber ammunition plant in Turen, Malang, East Java, among others.

He explained that the project is part of the strategic efforts to increase the production capacity and mastery of technology by Pindad employees to meet the domestic needs of the country's military (TNI).

"The cooperation also covers meeting the demand for large-caliber ammunition in the world market, which is part of the global supply chain that we must also command later," he added.

Red flag raised over arms deal

Behind the great wall of confidentiality at the Defense Ministry concerning its spending of taxpayer money, a leaked document has provided a snapshot of budgetary irregularity surrounding the purchase of a weapon system for the Army.

The ministry has allegedly overspent some US$134.9 million in the procurement of a multi-launcher rocket system (MLRS) worth $405 million from Brazil’s Avibras Industria Aeroespacial, according to an investigation report made by the ministry’s inspectorate general, a copy of which was recently obtained by The Jakarta Post.

In its letters to the ministry’s top officials, including to then defense minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro and deputy defense minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin in April and June 2012, the inspectorate had flagged several violations in the procurement process.

The inspectorate, a division in the ministry tasked with ensuring the compliance of all officials to existing regulations and procedures, argued that the policy to award Avibras had violated a presidential instruction and a regulation issued by the Government Procurement of Goods and Services Agency (LKPP).

Avibras, according to the inspectorate, cannot meet the technical specifications required by the procurement tender, such as the provision of eight fire-control systems. Moreover, the company can only provide seven of the required 38 ammunition supply vehicles and two of the seven mobile workshop vehicles needed to support the MLRS infrastructure.

The MLRS is armored artillery, similar to a truck, but equipped with a self-propelled rocket launcher.

According to the inspectorate, the $134.9 million discrepancy in the specifications unfulfilled by Avibras would have allowed the procurement of an extra battalion of the MLRS.

The inspectorate also accused the Army of negotiating with Avibras, which had partnered locally with PT Poris Duta Sarana to secure the deal, to water down the required specifications after Avibras outbid Turkey’s Roketsan Missiles Industries, which had teamed up with PT Alabasta Inti Indonesia for the bidding process.

“The violations are very vulnerable [for prosecution] if viewed from the auditor’s side, particularly when the audit is conducted by the BPK [Supreme Audit Agency],” then inspector general Vice Admiral Sumartono said in the letter. Sumartono, already retired, could not be reached for comment.

Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu said that while he was not aware of the details of the case, he would review all procurements made by his predecessor and added that he would limit the role of brokerage companies that were regularly involved in securing deals at high cost to taxpayers.

“I’ve instructed my officials to be highly responsible in spending public money and warned them that I will not defend them if they are caught by the KPK [Corruption Eradication Commission],” Ryamizard said recently.

The then Defense Ministry’s chief for procurement center of defense facilities agency (Baranahan), Lt. Gen. Ediwan Prabowo, who is responsible for the MLRS procurement, denied any wrongdoing.

Ediwan, who was promoted in May to become the ministry’s secretary-general, argued that the procurement was above-board and that the defense minister had endorsed it despite notes from the inspectorate general.

“You should ask the then inspector general about his complaints. I don’t want to speculate why he conducted the review,” said Ediwan, who served as the private secretary of then president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono between 2009 and 2011.

Ediwan said that the issue was made public because the losing company refused to accept the bidding result.

“The issue was blown out of proportion by a company that won’t accept defeat. Avibras’ MLRS scores higher than those offered by Roketsan. Avibras’ is combat-proven, has multi-caliber capacity, has wider destructive scope and can be transported with C-130 Hercules aircraft,” he said.

“We’ve invited many outside parties, including the KPK, to supervise our procurement process and there has been no issue at all,” he said, adding that some of the MLRS had already arrived and had been put on display during the Indonesian Military’s (TNI) anniversary parade on Oct. 7.

For the past five years, the Defense Ministry has received a bigger budget than any other institution has ever received. Around Rp 95 trillion ($7.72 billion) have been earmarked for next year, up by 7.2 percent compared to this year.

high possibility. Don't worry since KPK (anti-corruption organization) are examining this case. Jokowi's administration will be quite strict.

Nope, the Army has explained the procurement process of the MLRS system to Parliament and Anti Graft and Corruption body before the deal has struck and let them assess the progress beforehand.

Yes, our fighter jets are not enough to secure our vast air territory. We're focusing on our KFX/IFX project now. South Korea has buying F-35 so she can add important F-35 technology to KFX/IFX program(Radars, sensors, etc). And this programs is quite strategic for both nation which trying to develop its own jet fighter.

Indonesia will get 50 jets in return, + all rights to manufacture and sell it independently so we can build so many of this
