SAAB is Preparing a Surprise in Ground Based Air Defence.
It is said they'll reveal it during Indodefence in November. It is not RBS-70 since we've already got the deal package for modernization and join development. The only air defence solution left for SAAB to offer is just.... Bamse?

If we are talking about Medium SAM, Nasams looks more capable and promising to me. I hope we take the best system out there, that match with our budget

 

[Chakrabirawa]

Actually, the most reasonable Merad for us is the NASAMS indeed. Similiar munition types with Air Force F-16s (we could stock up AMRAAMs for multiple use) , familiar missiles for the crews (know-how to maintain and keeping), and finally no logistic nightmare.

Considering our law request on TOT in each import purchasing, in terms of NASAMS, we might get our hands on the launcher tech only (maintain of course and radar maybe), isn't it? Well, since I thought the silver bullet (AMRAAM) belongs to the US and they don't seem generous for missile TOT.

On the other hand, Bamse adaptation will introduce us to a new kind of missile. CMIIW the Bamse munition is the enhanced RBS-70. We've sealed the deal for RBS-70 upgrade package which involving development and joint production for RBS-70 missiles, so it is not possible for us to produce the missiles for Bamse on our own in the future.

Anyway, which ever option it chose, hope the Hanud gets the best solutions. And finally, Boy I'm glad we've moved on from VSHORADs. it is about time our air defence to get upgrade

Indonesian Air Force is considering the C-27J Spartan to replace the C-212 Aviocar.

TNI AU BIDIK PESAWAT C-27J SPARTAN GANTIKAN C-212 AVIOCAR

Written By portal komando on 26 Okt 2016 | 8:03 AM




PORTAL-KOMANDO.COM,.JAKARTA,.Mabesau, 18/10. Seiring meningkatnya tuntutan tugas, khususnya dalam pelaksanaan operasi dukungan udara (Ops Dukud), baik untuk misi operasi militer perang (OMP) maupun operasi militer selain perang (OMSP), TNI AU perlu dukungan kesiapan pesawat terbang yang tinggi. Penguatan Alusista merupakan salah satu rencana startegi TNI AU untuk mendukung negara Indonesia sebagai poros maritim dunia.

Kepala staf TNI Angkatan Udara Marsekal TNI Agus Supriyatna mengatakan bahwa dengan kekuatan darat dan laut sebesar apapun, tidak mungkin gagasan Indonesia sebagai poros maritim dunia akan terwujud tanpa dibantu kekuatan udara yang handal. Untuk itu maka penentuan Alutsista TNI AU harus mengedepankan kemampuan yang handal sehingga dapat mendukung pelaksanaan tugas-tugas Angkatan Udara.

Salah satu fokus TNI AU dalam hal perkuatan Alutsistanya adalah penggantian pesawat C-212 Aviocar yang sudah dioperasionalkan Skadron udara 4 Lanud Abdulrachman Saleh Malang selama 35 tahun. Misi Ops Dukud, khususnya yang dilaksanakan Skadron Udara 4 Lanud Abdulrakhman Saleh, Malang, seperti operasi dukungan udara, Operasi SAR terbatas, mendukung sekolah Navigator dan kursus pengenalan terbang pesawat angkut (KPTPA), saat ini menjadi tidak optimal, mengingat kesiapan pesawat C-212 Cassa Aviocar terus menurun. Keterbatasan suku cadang dan makin banyaknya spare part C-212 Aviocar yang sudah absolete, menjadikan tugas Skadron udara 4 makin berat, sehingga diperlukan pesawat pengganti yang berperformanya lebih tinggi.

Dari hasil kajian TNI AU terhadap tiga pesawat yaitu pesawat C-27 Spartan buatan Alenia Aeronautica Italia, pesawat CN-235 buatan PT. Dirgantara Indonesia (PT. DI) serta pesawat CN-295 buatan Airbus Military Spanyol yang dikerjasamakan dengan PT. DI, TNI AU menjatuhkan pilihan kepada pesawat C-27 J Spartan. Pesawat buatan Alenia Aeronautica Italia ini memliki performa yang sesuai dengan operational requirement (Opsreq) pesawat TNI AU, khususnya untuk misi Ops Dukud pesawat angkut sedang.

Pesawat ini mampu take off landing di unprepared surface dan di landasan pacu yang relatif pendek, dengan tetap berkemampuan membawa maximum load yang besar. Kemampuan ini cocok dengan kebutuhan misi TNI AU saat ini, dimana tugas-tugas Skadron Udara 4 sering ditujukan untuk misi pergeseran personel dan logistik ke daerah-daerah yang tidak memiliki tempat pendaratan pesawat dengan kontur yang khusus yang tidak mungkin didarati pesawat angkut berbadan lebar.

Rencana penggantian pesawat C-212 Cassa Aviocar TNI AU sudah melalui proses pengkajian oleh tim TNI AU, dan saat ini sedang dalam proses pengusulan ke Mabes TNI untuk selanjutnya akan dibahas dalam tim kecil di Kementerian Pertahanan (Kemenhan) untuk selanjutnya mendapatkan persetujuan Pemerintah. Pilihan pengganti C-212 Cassa Aviocar jatuh kepada pesawat buatan Italia C-27 J Spartan bukan berarti TNI AU tidak cinta produk dalam negeri. Sebenanya sudah sejak 2015 lalu TNI AU berharap kepada PTDI dapat memenuhi kebutuhan pesawat angkut sedang yang mampu menjawab tuntutan tugas Skadron Udara 4, tetapi dalam perkembangannya kurang mendapat respon yang proporsional dari industry pesawat terbang daam negeri. Padahal TNI AU perlu segera mendapat pengganti C-212 Cassa Aviocar karena tuntutan tugas yang demikian tinggi, maka pilihan pun jatuh kepada produk Italia.

Wish they ordering C295 from Spain directly instead...

 

[skyhigh88]

Nanti PTDI koar2 lagi seperti kasus helo AW.. Saya baru sadar ternyata KSAU adalah head komisioner PTDI... Wth? Mungkin Sudirman Said bisa ditugaskan untuk merombak performa PTDI

 

[pr1v4t33r]

I know that PT.DI has productivity and financing issue, evidently shown by mounting of backlog order and repeat failure to meet target delivery time. But it's quite unfortunate if we choose C-27j while we can already build comparable medium lift aircraft, althought definitely not superior compared to the other candidate.

If PT.DI can speed up their production process, CN-235/CN-295 should be preferred instead.

It's time to change the CEO of PT DI, he is way out of capable of meeting a lot of demands but somehow always ask for privilege to be appointed supplier of TNI AU. He was even quite annoying by making a lot of statements in media but failed to perform! The last case was failure of meeting deadline for C212 of the Philippines....this is embarrasing....

Before we replace the current CEO, better we do audit investigation to review the financial health and production capacity of PT.DI.

JAKARTA - Kementerian Pertahanan (Kemhan) kembali menggelar pameran industri pertahanan berskala internasional, Indo Defence 2016 Expo & Forum.

Akan ada berbagai suguhan spesial yang disajikan dalam pameran yang digelar tanggal 2 hingga 5 November 2016 itu. Salah satunya peluncuran Tank Boat.

Ditilik dari namanya, Tank Boat merupakan kendaraan tempur yang memadukan kapabilitas darat seperti yang dimiliki tank dan kemampuan manuver di perairan yang dimiliki kapal.

Dengan menggabungkan kemampuan manuver darat dan laut, kendaraan tempur ini menjadi yang pertama di dunia.

"Ini teknologi pertama di dunia jika berhasil," kata Direktur Teknologi Industri Pertahanan, Ditjen Pothan, Brigjen Jan Pieter Ate di Kantor Kemhan, Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat, Jakarta Pusat, Rabu (26/10/2016).

Pieter menjelaskan, Tank Boat merupakan kendaraan tempur produksi Indonesia, hasil kerjasama PT Pindad dan PT Lundin asal Swedia.

Tank Boat memiliki spesifikasi panjang 18 meter dan dioperasikan oleh 12 orang awak. Kendaraan tempur ini juga disebut mampu beroperasi di perairan dangkal di kedalaman hingga 90 cm.

"Bisa beroperasi di pinggir pantai, bersembunyi di antara pohon bakau," ucap Pieter.

Karenanya, kendaraan tempur yang memadukan kemampuan darat dan manuver di perairan ini disebut Pieter cocok untuk negara kepulauan seperti Indonesia. "(Industri) ini harus didukung," ucap Pieter.

To be fair, that's not completely PT.DI failure. The problem was the delayed of certification process, especialy the new autopilot system by Airbus. The fixed wing division is quite OK in my opinion. But the rotary wing division has many backlog orders that have frustrated even our air force officials.

Indo Defence 2016: More Badak on the cards
26th October 2016 - 6:00by Gordon Arthur in Hong Kong

Following an initial order for 50 Badak (Rhino) 6x6 armoured fighting vehicles, it is rumoured the Indonesian Army wants more.

This could push orders into the several hundreds and worth a lot more than the $36 million that domestic manufacturer, PT Pindad, received for the first 50 units.

Badak has passed its qualification tests and the company is preparing the production line and deliveries of Badak could begin later this year, but a large order could see production increase to 25-30 units annually.

Pindad is pinning much credence on its Badak, which was unveiled at the Indo Defence 2014exhibition. The Badak, based on a new hull with STANAG 4569 Level 3 ballistic protection, successfully performed test firings with its 90mm main armament at the Infantry Training Centre from 10-12 December 2015.

For this project Pindad is cooperating closely with Belgian company CMI Defence. The latter’s Cockerill CSE 90LP two-man turret with low-pressure gun will be produced in Indonesia under a transfer of technology agreement signed in late 2014. Pindad engineers have completed training in how to manufacture the turret using aluminium materials, with a spokesman confirming that Pindad will produce 90mm turrets not only for the Badak but also as a ‘special hub to produce the turret for the nearby region’.

The Badak is powered by a 340hp, six-cylinder diesel engine coupled to a ZF automatic transmission. It features independent suspension to help withstand recoil forces when the main gun is fired, while its armour is able to withstand 12.7mm rounds. Pindad’s spokesman hinted that ‘we’ll continue to develop new variants of this type of panzer’.

Pindad began producing the Anoa-1 6x6 APC in 2008, while the Anoa-2 appeared in 2012. The latter possessed improvements to suit it for Lebanon peacekeeping duties, and variants include APC, command, logistic, ambulance, recovery and mortar.

Pindad’s spokesman informed Shephard that around 300 Anoa vehicles have been produced to date, and its United Nations peacekeeping deployments include Darfur and southern Lebanon. The newest amphibious variant has already passed certification tests. Furthermore, this year Pindad sent the Anoa to an undisclosed Middle East country for trials.

Indo Defence 2016: Armour modernisation nears completion
25th October 2016 - 6:00by Gordon Arthur in Hong Kong

Rheinmetall is due to complete deliveries of the Leopard 2 RI main battle tank to Indonesia by March 2017.

Indonesia ordered 61 Leopard RI MBTs among other vehicles in a package worth some $280 million in December 2012.

The other vehicles included were 42 Leopard 2+ MBTs, 42 upgraded Marder 1A3 infantry fighting vehicles and ten specialist vehicles (four Büffel armoured recovery vehicles, three Leguan bridge-layers and three armoured engineering vehicles)

Indonesia was the second Asian country to adopt the Leopard 2 after Singapore, although some wonder at Indonesia’s wisdom in purchasing such heavy MBTs given the country’s archipelagic nature, poor roads and jungle-clad terrain.

All Leopard 2+ tanks have been handed over, this variant being a Leopard 2A4 with retrofitted air-conditioning system. Meanwhile, the first eight Leopard 2 RI MBTs reached Indonesian shores in May.

‘RI’ tanks are 2A4s taken from surplus German Army stocks and upgraded by Rheinmetall to include an add-on Advanced Modular Armour Protection (AMAP) suite from IBD, plus all-electric gun control equipment to replace its electro-hydraulic system. The driver benefits from a rear-view camera, plus a 17kW auxiliary power unit fuels air-conditioning and other systems.

Modification to the 120mm 44-calibre gun and associated sight system allows DM11 programmable HE rounds to be fired. PT Pindad, Indonesia’s premier state-owned defence manufacturer, is partnering with Rheinmetall to produce ammunition for and to support the Leopards and Marders.

Indonesian Marders have upgraded power packs, suspension and ballistic protection, plus an air-conditioning unit is fitted. The hull roof is raised 300mm to increase volume in the troop compartment. A Pindad spokesman told Shephard: ‘We’re currently discussing with the army to assist a second batch in a Marder enhancement programme that will enable conversion into various types: command, ambulance and logistic versions.’

Indonesia also received three Bushmaster 4x4 protected mobility vehicles from Thales Australia in February 2014 as part of a $2 million government-to-government sale. These are used by Indonesian KOPASSUS special forces. The army also possesses 22 Doosan DST 6x6 Black Fox vehicles procured in 2009. These South Korean vehicles are fitted with a CMI Defence CSE 90LP turret featuring a Cockerill 90mm gun.

Indo Defence 2016: BAE Systems hawks OPVs
25th October 2016 - 7:57by Chen Chuanren in Singapore

BAE Systems hopes to make its mark in the Asia-Pacific region through platforms such as offshore patrol vessels (OPV) and Hawk advanced jet trainers, both of which it will be highlighting at Indo Defence 2016.

The builder of Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers is looking to introduce its 80m/90m OPVs to cater to the Indonesian Navy’s need to protect the exclusive economic zone of the world’s largest archipelago.

A Krabi-class OPV is already in operation with the Royal Thai Navy, and BAE Systems signed acontract with Bangkok Dock for a second vessel in January.

Another key platform BAE Systems is promoting is the Hawk, which features airborne simulation technology.

A number of Asia-Pacific air forces operate the Hawk as either an advanced trainer or light attack aircraft. For example, the Indonesian Air Force has more than 40 Hawks of different variants that were delivered in the 1980s and 1990s.

BAE Systems is optimistic that regional air forces will continue to use Hawks for many years to come.

BAE Systems stressed that it is always ready to work with local firms to provide assistance and to transfer technology and skills. ‘We are talking to PT Pindad to consider ways of utilising the expertise within each company to jointly deliver innovative defence solutions in Indonesia,’ a spokesperson told Shephard.

Both firms are currently working together to provide government and businesses in Indonesia with defences against potential cyber threats too. This is another solution that BAE Systems provides under its Applied Intelligence portfolio.
