Eurofighter showcases offer of indigenous capability for Indonesia

News | 20 hours ago

A final assembly facility for the world’s most versatile and reliable fast-jet fighter could be built in Indonesia it has been re-confirmed this week - if the Nation chooses to opt for the Eurofighter Typhoon and the chance to develop its own indigenous capability.

As Indonesia plans the replacement of its existing fighter-jet fleet, delegates from Eurofighter arrived in Jakarta over the weekend to begin a series of demonstrations aimed at underlining the full scope of the offer from the four-nation consortium. Central to the unique offer from Eurofighter is the fact the Country already has a strong and productive relationship with one of its Partner Companies, Airbus - makers of a wide range of military and commercial products.

Joe Parker, Export Director for Eurofighter GmbH, based in Munich, Germany, said: “We recognise that Indonesia has important decisions to make, and that those decisions will leave a lasting legacy. What we bring to Indonesia is not just reliable protection for the Nation, but the opportunity to build and maintain a genuine indigenous capability on the back of a proven partnership and all that goes with it.”

Parker, himself a private pilot, and a passionate advocate of Typhoon, added: “Rapidly deployable and reliable maritime protection is a fundamental requirement for this nation of islands and no other aircraft of this type can fly longer, faster and higher than ours when fully-loaded. Add this to the fact that we would be able to facilitate assembly line capabilities into Bandung enabling the aircraft to be built here in Indonesia by Indonesians and it is easy to see why we believe this a major opportunity making the Indonesian Archipelago a future hub for operations in the Southern Hemisphere.”

“We have already hosted visits to see our Spanish and German facilities,” said Parker, “and they were well received. This is an exciting time for the Eurofighter Programme which has now reached a level of maturity giving the Typhoon an unrivalled range of capabilities and a solid roadmap for the future.”

This week, for the first time, Eurofighter will be showcasing a Full Scale Exhibition Demonstrator Eurofighter Typhoon when it goes on display in a hangar at PT DI’s facilities in Bandung – the potential location for the Indonesian Eurofighter Typhoon production line.

“Transferring technology is not a problem for us,” said Parker, “It is part of our day-job. What excites me is the potential I see in Indonesia for developing huge levels of indigenous capability around this opportunity – not just those in connection with the Eurofighter Typhoon – but around the many spin-off opportunities that would be created by the generation of new skill-sets. We have seen it happen before – and we know it can happen again.”

Eurofighter confirmed that, if Indonesia opted for the Typhoon, then the opportunity would bring not just high-skilled jobs connected with the final assembly of the aircraft, but also state of the art technology and employment in association with the maintenance and further enhancement of the fast-jet fighter.

“While we are here,” said Parker, “we want to give people the chance to really get to know the aircraft and gain a full understanding of the scope of our offer. As well as a series of MasterClasses aimed at getting ‘under the skin’ of a fighter, we will be giving interested parties a detailed tour of the aircraft and its capabilities led by two of our most experienced pilots – one who played a key role in the development of the Eurofighter, and the other who has extensive experience in training test pilots. It should be an exciting week.”

Andi Eka Sakya. (ANTARA/Martha Herlinawati S.)
Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Indonesian research ship Baruna Jaya I, under a program named "Indonesia Program Initiative on Maritime Observation and Analysis (InaPRIMA)," is surveying the Indian Ocean for a month between April 16 and May 15, 2015.

Acting Secretary of the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs Asep Djembar here on Thursday stated that marine research is highly related to climate change, and Indonesia is greatly affected by the phenomenon as it is geographically located on the equator.

"The coordinating minister for maritime affairs fully supports the survey as it will provide data to complete the information and knowledge on forecasting extreme climatic conditions," he added.

According to Djembar, Indonesia has several research ships that should be used to acquire more maritime information.

Head of Indonesian Agency for Meteorological, Climatological and Geophysics (BMKG) Eka Sakya noted that maritime information is needed to support other sectors such as tourism, fishery, and sea transportation.

"Over the last few years, the BMKG has developed a model to forecast the height of waves. However, the maritime stations facilities are still minimal. InaPRIMA will help to expand the data and add further information," Eka explained.

The InaPRIMA survey team is the result of collaboration between the BMKG, Agency For The Assessment And Application Of Technology (BPPT), The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and Indonesian Navy Hydro-Oceanography Office.

An Indonesian air force F-16 plane which was about to do a flyover at a military ceremony for President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo exploded during takeoff Thursday, an air force spokesman said.

First Marshall Hadi Tjahjanto said the aircraft was supposed to take off at 8.20am local time from the Halim Perdanakusumah Air Force Base in East Jakarta.

"The aircraft had been running on the runway for taking off but suddenly exploded at the end of the runway and got burned," FM Hadi said. "The engine was seriously damaged and the left wheel was separated from the aircraft."

The pilot suffered from some burn injuries on his neck and arm, he said.

The pilot was initially scheduled to do a fly-pass above the Indonesian Defence Force headquarters during a ceremony to inaugurate Jokowi as an honorary member of the military special force.

PTDI and Rotorcraft team for Panther systems integration
Jon Grevatt, Bangkok - IHS Jane's Defence Industry
14 April 2015

PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) and US company Rotorcraft Services Group have announced a teaming agreement to jointly integrate an anti-submarine warfare (ASW) suite onto the Airbus AS565 MBe Panther helicopter.

A press release on 14 April said the two companies would collaborate on developing and integrating the L-3 Ocean Systems Helicopter Long-Range Active Sonar (HELRAS) and the Raytheon Mk46 or Whitehead A244/S lightweight torpedo launching system.

It added that the ASW suite would enable the helicopter to be reconfigured for non-combat roles, including maritime surveillance, search-and-rescue, utility, and external cargo lift operations.

The Indonesian Navy (TNI-AL) confirmed its order of 11 AS565 MBe Panther helicopters in November 2014.

Those incident is quite strange, 2 different incident in a very different situation but at the same event, just more like a sign for this new administration to be more careful in the future for me. They need to look back again on its previous promise in strengthening KPK instead of weakening it.......

Well, in rational perspective, the engine of F-16 needs to be looked of course to analyse the failure. If found some defect on the engine so the supplier needs to take some responsibility.

It seems that Eurofighter become more interesting, if Russia doesnt offer similar TOT like Eurofighter, I prefer Eurofighter............

If Eurofighter is selected, Indonesia would be the "Base Production" of the Jets After Europe

Eurofighter Masterclass held in 2015 is to promote their superiority fighter aircraft production. The event was held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Jl. MH Thamrin, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, April 14, 2015 yesterday. JKGR team was invited to this exciting event.

Attending the ceremony, Director of Export Eurofighter Joe Parker, Capability Development Manager, Paul Smith, Head of Industrial Offset Eurofighter Martin Elbourne, and Laurie Hilditch, Head of future capabilities Eurofighter. In the meeting, Joe Parker said that if the Indonesian government choose the Eurofighter, it will help the development of Indonesian fighter aircraft technology.

"We will build a design center including the construction of joint manufacture. We will prepare the assembly line, increasing the ability of the Indonesian aircraft engineers to design and produce fighter jets independently, " according to Joe.

Meanwhile, Head of Industrial Offset Eurofighter Martin Elbourne, for the initial stage it will bring Indonesian engineers in this case PT. DI to learn in combat aircraft manufacturer production of four countries: England, Germany, Italy, and Spain.

"We will teach a few years there before they go back and apply their technology in Indonesia. In addition to the facilities built with PT DI, it can help IFX project through this benefit. In essence, Indonesia will not lose if it chooses Eurofighter, "he said.

He also explained that the provision of Transfer of Technology (ToT) provided it does not mess around. Indonesia will be the Eurofighter combat aircraft production base in addition to the four countries. This opportunity to make Indonesia as the Assembly Line outside of Europe.

"Look at our track record to Indonesia, NC-212, CN-235 are some examples of how the PT DI successfully mengexportnya to several other countries. So remember, this is not the first time we provide ToT for Indonesia. To note, we have developed a serious train fighter now that Indonesia does not have, "added Martin.

Transfer of Technology of the Eurofighter Typhoon, can be said to be an advancement for the military and the nation of Indonesia. Ease of maintenance of fighter aircraft, to the mastery of technology in sight Includes engine technology.

As we know, some NATO countries are reluctant to share the Transfer of Technology (ToT) their fighter jet engine, the non-NATO countries. With this step, the KFX fighter jet engine / IFX Indonesia later, not necessarily the same as the fighter jet engine KFX / IFX South Korea are likely to use the F-414-400 engine United States.

With the purchase of Eurofighter Typhoon by the Air Force, it is likely that IFX Indonesia will use the same machine that carried typhoon.

In his presentation in South Korea, PT DI said, KFX / IFX constructed had a great impetus. It is to pursue technology that carries IFX ability Gen 4.5 which continues to be developed into a stealth aircraft Gen 5.

Typhoon has advantages compared thrust Dassault Rafale. EJ-200 engine is able to maintain its high speed, thus providing superior acceleration Typhoon post 1.5 Mach. Compared Rafale, Although the Rafale M88 machine can function both in airflow at high altitude, the aircraft will lose power which limits the Rafale at a speed of Mach 1.8 to 1.9 only, while still powerful Typhoon passes through Mach 2 speed.

Excellence Typhoon EJ200 engine a great asset for Indonesia to develop advanced fighter aircraft IFX. If later Typhoon is selected, it is possible that Indonesia is to be self-sufficient in jets technology.

Eurofighter Typhoon production in 2014 has began equipping AESA radar (active electronically scanned array) which is a new sensor technology leap in fighter aircraft, because the power source (transmitter) is derived from many TR modules contained in the antenna. The effect of this fighter plane has a high detection capability, targeting, tracking and self-protection capabilities. Thus this aircraft has the ability to full spectrum of water operations.

Russia Please Offer The Same :taz:, or we will choose Eurofighter Tranche 3 INSTEAD :confused:

Look, any one that will win in this tender has a benefit to be our IFX partner in the future :super:
