Indo Defence 2016: Indonesian marines build up

New tropicalised variants of the BTR-4M 8x8 armoured vehicles are due to be received this year by the Indonesian Marine Corp (Korps Marinir) from Ukraine.

This will add to the formation’s amphibious vehicles such as the 54 BMP-3F IFVs in its inventory (as seen above) and other armoured units.

In an archipelagic nation of 13,000 plus islands, the marine corps plays an important role in defending Indonesia. Under navy authority, the corps is composed of two groups (three battalions each) and one independent brigade totalling 20,000 personnel.

Some of the new BTR-4M vehicles will feature a Parus remote-controlled overhead weapon station equipped with a 30mm ZTM-1 cannon, 30mm automatic grenade launcher and 7.62mm machine gun.

Other BTR-4Ms possess a simple turret mounting a 12.7mm machine gun. Indonesia’s order was for 55 amphibious vehicles, which will replace the elderly BTR-50 and supplement the BTR-80A, since most of the latter are used in Lebanon for peacekeeping.

Additionally, the marines conducted field tests of its new RM-70 Vampir MRL system on 10 June. Indonesian marines received eight new units from the Czech Republic midyear to equip two MRL batteries.

In June-July, marine personnel received training on this new equipment that fires 122mm rockets. The RM-70 Vampir is an upgrade of the standard RM-70, with modernisation work conducted by Czech company Excalibur Army.

The rocket launcher is mounted on a Tatra T 815-7 8x8 chassis. Operated by a four-man crew, the launchers are interconnected with a digital fire control system. Vehicles are ready to fire within 2.5 minutes of arriving at a firing point, and the ready-to-fire pod of 40 rockets can be fired singly or in salvoes. The truck also carries a second rack of 40 rockets that can be manually reloaded within a minute.

Indonesia is producing R-HAN 122B rockets locally, with successful testing of an improved version occurring in August 2015. This rocket type was developed by a consortium from Dahana, Dirgantara and Pindad, as well as various government agencies.

The R-HAN 122B is 2.81m long, powered by a hydroxylammonium nitrate rocket motor with a burn time of three seconds. This gives a 30.5km range for the rocket, which has a 15kg warhead.

Along with the MRLs, Indonesia received one battalion command vehicle, two ammunition resupply vehicles, a recovery vehicle and fuel tanker. Also part of the contract were two Alligator 4x4 armoured vehicles and a Tatrapan T 815 6x6 APC from Slovak manufacturer Kerametal. Indonesia obtained nine second-hand, older-generation RM-70s from the Czech Republic in 2003, so the military is already familiar with the system.

The Indonesian Marine Corps is also inducting a new air defence system from China. The single system purchased from Norinco includes four Type 90 twin 35mm towed antiaircraft guns, an AF902 air defence fire control radar and four mobile power supply units.

The first test-firing of the system against UAVs occurred on 12 August after delivery occurred in July. Further orders could follow.

From what was considered a done deal in favour of the Russian Su-35, the Indonesian military has opened up the fighter procurement to a three-way contest. The Su-35 was close to a deal till the second quarter of this year but price and transfer of technology (TOT) for local production were believed to be sticking points which made Indonesia invite two more contenders to give their offers.

The government of President Jokowi has made it a policy to buy defence equipment only if there is transfer of technology and joint production. A Russian source had told defenseworld.net during the Singapore Air Show earlier this year that the Indonesian potential order for 8-12 planes was too small for joint production and TOT.

Saab is preparing a high visibility campaign at the 2016 Indo-Defence show with a cockpit simulator of its Gripen aircraft on display in Jakarta next week. Saab campaign director Magnus Hagman told journalists in Jakarta on earlier this week that the Gripen simulator will be featured at the company's booth.

Magnus was quoted by the Jakarta Post newspaper as claiming that the Gripen's operational costs amount to just $4,700 per hour, which is 10 times cheaper than for the Sukhoi SU-35.

Saab has offered local production of the Gripen and training for Indonesian aeronautics firms in integrating the fighter, which hopefully will ensure national competence in supporting the Indonesian Fighter Experiment (IF-X) program.

Ohhh yeeaa

hopefully, such ambiguous words

Ribet. Ambil gripen juga tanggung. Mending kejar kuantitas dulu ambil F-16 gurun (750 juta dapet 2 ska) + FA-50 (420 juta dapet 1 ska). Harga 11/12 dapet 3 ska.

TOT fokusin untuk KFX/IFX.

Not mean to belittle their achievements, but this thing look like this one, something which had been invented more than 70 years ago.....

Yeah, but such technologies are still needed by many Regional Commands that have to cover broad areas with swamp, rivers, and alike. Considering it's still in a prototype form, I think it will be a good product. Efficient for litteral island hopping.

Rheinmetall is offering Indonesia the Marder Medium Tank RI with the new Leonardo HITFACT II turret.

http://www.monch.com/mpg/news/14-land/163-indo-defence-2016-rheinmetall-s-competencies.html

INDO DEFENCE 2016: RHEINMETALL'S VEHICLE COMPETENCIES

Rheinmetall's comprehensive expertise here ranges from the development of new vehicles – like the new LYNX family unveiled at Eurosatory 2016 – to modernisation and combat improvement programmes.

At Indo Defence 2016, Rheinmetall is showcasing a demonstrator of a 105mm medium battle tank. The vehicle is based on the combat-proven MARDER 1 chassis already fielded by the Indonesian Army, equipped with a modern HITFACT II turret from Leonardo(ex-Oto Melara).

Rheinmetall is currently carrying out acombat performance upgrade of the LEOPARD 2 A4 main battle tank on behalf of the Indonesian Armed Forces.Depending on which of the two different versions of the tank – the LEOPARD 2A4+ or LEOPARD 2 RI (Republic of Indonesia) – the modernisation programme includes a climate control system (2A4+ and RI), improved ballistic protection, conversion from a hydraulic to an electric turret drive, an auxiliary power unit, and installation of a reversing camera (RI). In addition, Rheinmetall is also enhancing the 120mm smoothbore gun in the RI configuration with a programming kitthat will enable it to fire Rheinmetall’s new programmable DM11 multipurpose round.

Furthermore on show in Jakarta is the new network-capable Rheinmetall Oerlikon REVOLVER Gun Mk 2, which features AHEAD technology with programmable airburst ammunition. Rheinmetall is also presenting its battle management system and X-TAR3D radar.

As mentioned above, Rheinmetall is showcasing a demonstrator of a 105mm medium battle tank based on a modified MARDER 1 chassis. While the demonstrator is equipped with the 105mm HITFACT I turret, the newMARDER Medium Tank RI (Republic of Indonesia) offered to the Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI) features a new Leonardo HITFACT II turret, with a 105mm/L52 gun as main armament.

Both the MARDER 1 chassis and the HITFACT II turret are proven, previously fielded, well-supported subsystems. The new MARDER Medium Tank RI will be equipped with an electrically stabilised three-man turret which can fire any standard NATO 105mm round. The commander and gunner each have their own independent day and night sighting systems with laser rangefinders, providing a hunter/killer capability for the crew. The commander and gunner are both able to operate the main and secondary armament, which can be reloaded from the safety of the fighting compartment. Due to its high mobility the MARDER Medium Tank RI can be deployed together with the LEOPARD 2 main battle tank or in support of other armoured fighting vehicles.

Thanks to its lighter weight, it provides the tactical versatility vital for dominating current and future battlefields and other scenarios, e.g. urban warfare. In 2012, the Ministry of Defence in Jakarta contracted with Rheinmetall to supply the Indonesian Army with tracked armoured vehicles, logistical support and ammunition. Besides 103 Leopard 2 MBTs, Rheinmetall is supplying Indonesia with 42 upgraded MARDER 1A3 infantry fighting vehicles, 11 armoured recovery and combat engineering vehicles, together with the accompanying documentation, training resources and logistical services. The order also encompasses an initial supply of practice and service ammunition.

>>> They offer the same concept like 2 years ago, Marder Medium MBT. This could become an exit plan if PINDAD's medium tank project failed.

National scene: RI to launch amphibious ‘Tank Boat’

• The Jakarta Post
  

Jakarta | Sat, October 29 2016 | 07:44 am


State-owned defense contractor PT Pindad is set to launch a new Indonesian-made weapon system that combines the capabilities of a tank and a ship, dubbed the “Tank Boat”, at the Indo Defense Expo in Jakarta on Nov. 2-5.

The Defense Ministry’s technology and defense industry director, Brig. Gen. Jan Pieter Ate, said the Tank Boat was an advanced piece of technology combining the land capabilities of a tank, as well as the maneuverability in water of a ship.

“So it integrates combined combat maneuverability, and this is the first technology [of its kind] in the world. This is a product of Indonesia,” Jan Pieter said on Wednesday, as quoted by kompas.com.

The Tank Boat is 18 meters in length and has a crew of 12, he added. It could be used for coastal military operations as it could camouflage itself among mangroves, he said, adding that the Tank Boat was also able to maneuver in water to a depth of 90 meters.

Jan Pieter said the weapon system would be beneficial in archipelagic countries, such as Indonesia. He pointed out that the government hoped to reduce dependency on imports, and as such it would continue its efforts to develop the domestic defense industry.

He said utilizing locally made products would reduce state budget expenses, without compromising quality. “The government wants to become less dependent on products from abroad and for the domestic industry to fulfill [the country’s] defense needs. We’ll continue efforts to develop the domestic industry,” he said.
