If we observed to the stern of the KRI-331 which is there's no access to launch such a towed sonar, it seems those Captas-2 VDS will not to equip the first PKR, but probably for the second's. If we refering to the planning where the second PKR will be equiped completely..
But I wonder when I looking up into Thales website, for the Captas-2 products, seems it has not been selected yet for our PKR's program. Unless Malaysia who had selected it to equip their Gowind SGPV programs..

Wow! Ga tanggung2 sekalinya beli langsung masive 24 unit. Klo rencana ini bener kejadian, betul bakal ngalahin inventorinya TNI-AL.
Dan klo boleh saya bilang ini bener2 langkah yg cerdas dari Basarnas, mereka paham betul akan skala prioritas. Karena dalam setiap operasi SAR memang yg paling diutamakan adalah kecepatan, baik itu saat identifikasi / penyisiran area, maupun saat evakuasi. Dan ini yg menjadi penentu keberhasilan sebuah operasi rescue.
Kalau soal armada kapalnya sih masih bisa pinjem ke TNI-AL atau instansi lainnya, karena pasti bakal di BKO-kan.
Dan yg lebih penting lagi, disaat kondisi darurat heli basarnas bisa langsung di upgrade dengan ASW suite buat ngedukung operasi sub-hunting TNI-AL. Mantap!!!

US defense intelligence chief predicts increased ISIS attacks
JONATHAN LANDAY
Feb 8th 2016 8:03PM
WASHINGTON, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Islamic State is likely to step up "the pace and lethality" of its attacks in the months ahead as it seeks to fan the flames of international conflict, the director of the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency said on Monday.
Speaking to a security conference, Marine Corps Lieutenant General Vincent Stewart linked his warning to the militant group's establishment of "emerging branches" in Mali, Tunisia, Somalia, Bangladesh and Indonesia.
He also said he would not be surprised if Islamic State, which has created a self-proclaimed Caliphate across swaths of Syria and Iraq, extended its operations from the Sinai Peninsula deeper into Egypt.
"Last year, Daesh remained entrenched on Iraqi and Syrian battlefields and expanded globally to Libya, Sinai, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and the Caucasus," Stewart said, using a derisive Arabic acronym for Islamic State.
"Daesh is likely to increase the pace and lethality of its transnational attacks because it seeks to unleash violent actions and to provoke a harsh reaction from the West, thereby feeding its distorted narrative" of a Western war against Islam, he said.
Stewart's comments came a day before he and other U.S. intelligence officials are set to deliver an annual worldwide threat assessment to Congress.
The Sunni Muslim militant group seeks not only to escalate conflict with the West, but also with Islam's minority Shiite branch, just as Shiite extremist groups like Lebanon's Hezbollah are stoking tensions with Sunnis, Stewart said.
"These threats are exacerbated by the security challenges of the Middle East, which is now facing one of the most dangerous and unpredictable periods in the last decade," he said.
Islamic State has as many as 25,000 fighters in Syria and Iraq, down from a previous estimate of up to 31,000, according to a U.S. intelligence report revealed by the White House last week.
U.S. officials cited factors such as battlefield casualties and desertions to explain the roughly 20 percent decrease in fighters, and said the report showed a U.S.-led campaign to crush Islamic State was making progress.

Indonesia invites ASEAN
to engage in defense industry
Nani Afrida, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | National | Tue, February 09 2016, 5:07 PM
National News
Coordinating Maritime Affairs Minister Rizal Ramli has conveyed a plan to improve the national defense industry by encouraging countries in Southeast Asia to obtain minority stakes in the Indonesian defense industry.
“Indonesia invites countries in ASEAN to hold stakes in the defense industry […] Depending on only domestic tax for the defense industry might be dull,” Rizal said on Monday as quoted by Antara news agency.
Rizal was in Mataram to attend the National Mass Media convention, a press event aimed at addressing challenges regarding the development of the country’s maritime axis vision.
He said involving other parties in the country’s defense industry could help the sector to develop.
Currently Indonesia has several companies that focus on defense, namely state-owned land system and weapons maker PT Pindad, aerospace industry player PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PT DI) and shipbuilding company PT PAL.
According Rizal, when France dominated the Airbus company, its sales were low. However, after several European countries joined Airbus, the company became a European aerospace giant and defeated US-based aircraft manufacturer Boeing.
He added he believed the defense industry in Indonesia could experience the same success if it invited ASEAN members to obtain stakes.
Rizal also said the maritime industry in Indonesia had the momentum at present to succeed globally.
However, Rizal noted that Indonesia still lacked the ability to develop brand and marketing strategies when selling its defense industry’s products overseas.
PT Pindad president director Silmy Karim said that before divesting defense industry stakes to other countries, Indonesia should have clear reasons for doing so.
“What is the reason behind the divestment? Is there technology transfer? Or is it to increase sales? Or as defense diplomacy? The stance should be clear,” Silmy told The Jakarta Post on Tuesday.
According to Silmy, the defense industry was very different to the commercial industry, citing the development of Airbus.

Indonesia’s global maritime
quest sans the Indian Ocean
Muhamad Arif, Jakarta | Opinion | Tue, February 09 2016, 4:49 PM
Opinion News
Since October 2015, Indonesia has been chair of the Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA), a regional institution comprising coastal states bordering the Indian Ocean.
The IORA should be seen, and treated accordingly, as a modality for Indonesia’s diplomacy in the Indian Ocean in its attempt to become a global maritime power. Indonesia should balance out its activism in the Pacific with a more diplomatic thrust in the Indian Ocean, backed up by a robust military presence and readiness.
Our new foreign policy doctrine is built upon the renewed realization of Indonesia’s geographical destiny to possess a strong maritime industry — residing as it does between the Indian and Pacific oceans.
The activism, however, is so far uneven with the Pacific Ocean receiving more attention and the Indian Ocean remaining largely underdeveloped in terms of diplomacy and the ascription of strategic weight.
On the Pacific front, for example, there are already a number of multilateral diplomatic forums in place.
The closer attention Indonesia pays to the Pacific is also reflected in its firm stance in maintaining territorial integrity.
For instance, Indonesia states it will not be involved in any territorial dispute with China in the Natuna waters. The firm stance was rewarded as China gave in to Indonesia’s position.
__________________________________
The IORA has yet to develop into a mature and functional regional institution.
It is also reflected in how the country’s increasingly modernized military is deployed: a new fighter squadron has been deployed in Riau; a military base in the Natuna Island is being upgraded; and the construction of a new submarine base in Palu, Central Sulawesi, has been accelerated.
All of these bases and military assets are near the Pacific Ocean and thus tasked primarily with deterring and countering threats in that region.
Despite loopholes, Indonesia’s aspiration to play a greater role in the Pacific Ocean security dynamic is supported by adequate military back up.
That is not the case on the Indian Ocean front. First and foremost, despite it being 20 years since its establishment, the IORA has yet to develop into a mature and functional regional institution. This poses challenges as well as opportunities for Indonesia.
Indonesia should thus make use of the IORA for diplomacy in the Indian Ocean to strengthen its presence and role in the region, just the way Indonesia utilizes ASEAN and other Pacific multilateral forums.
Indonesian diplomacy in the Indian Ocean is not backed up by sufficient military presence and readiness.
Indeed, a disproportionate number of larger Navy vessels are deployed in the Eastern Fleet Command. Furthermore, of four main naval bases under the Western Fleet Command, only one — Main Naval Base II Padang — faces the Indian Ocean.
The Padang base coordinates two smaller bases in Bengkulu and North Sumatra with two frigates/corvettes in its disposal, making it the weakest of the western fleet bases.
Military deployment is not only necessary to guard and defend the long western coastline of Sumatra, but also to provide credibility for Indonesia’s diplomacy.
It is essential to convey the message that the Indonesian government is serious when it says it wants to play a greater role both in the Pacific and Indian oceans.
It should balance out the activism in the Pacific with a strong diplomatic thrust in the Indian Ocean.
Some consider the Indian Ocean to be less strategically valuable than the Pacific, given the absence of territorial disputes.
Thus, the argument goes, it is justifiable for Indonesia to pay less attention to the region. This is a misleading argument.
The strategic value of the Indian Ocean is elegantly documented in Robert Kaplan’s 2010 book Monsoon, The Indian Ocean and the Future of American Power. Kaplan notes that the Indian Ocean is again the heart of the world, just as it was in the antiquity and medieval times.
The Indian Ocean is currently the busiest and most important maritime trade route; one half of all the world’s containers and 70 percent of petroleum passes through the Indian Ocean.
It is also where a contemporary strategic rivalry between the status-quo power and emerging powers is taking place; China’s power projection into the region through its “string of pearls” strategy is challenging US domination while India is increasingly asserting its desire to become a major power.
In addition to the US and China, Indian, Pakistani and Iranian operations and potential nuclear capabilities make the Indian Ocean one of the most nuclearized regions in the world.
Thus, it is imperative for Indonesia to extend its foreign policy activism to the Indian Ocean if the “two-Ocean power” vision is to materialize.
The IORA can serve as the diplomatic modality. It should be backed, however, with a robust and credible military presence and readiness.
