Indo Defence 2016: Domestic long-endurance UAS unveiled (video)
03rd November 2016 - 8:00by Grant Turnbull in Jakarta
Indonesian company PT Bhinneka Dwi Persada is displaying a new long-endurance UAS for the first time at this year's Indo Defence exhibition.
Called the Rajawali 720, the UAS features a canard configuration with a main wing measuring 7m. The company states that the endurance of the aircraft is up to 24 hours, with potential for that to be increased to 30 hours in the future.
A maximum take-off weight is currently set at 180kg, with a payload capacity specificed at 100kg. Those payloads could include an EO/IR turret, multi-spectral cameras, ground moving target indicator or a synthetic aperture radar.
PT Bhinneka Dwi Persada already produces UAS, namely the fixed-wing Rajawali 330 and rotary-wing Rajawali 350, and has supplied several to the Indonesian military. The 330 and 350 are localised version of UMS Skeldar's F-330 and the R-350.
However, the 720 is not sourced from an existing UMS Skeldar design and is thought to be from a Norwegian company, though this has not been confirmed by PT Bhinneka Dwi Persada.
Company CEO Feba Henry Affan told Shephard that a prototype could be flying by the end of the year.

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Italian aerospace, defense and security company Leonardo-Finmeccanica sees an opportunity to expand its presence in Indonesia with sales of its helicopter products, company officials said here on Thursday.
Head of Region for Leonardo Helicopters Lorenzo Pariani said here at the Indo Defense Expo 2016, Thursday, that Indonesia has a dynamic market to fill the needs of civilian and military users of Leonardos products.
"Indonesia is a big archipelago. You have specific needs that we could develop together," Lorenzo said.
At the end of 2015, Leonardo had delivered an AW139 helicopter to the Indonesian Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) for humanitarian and rescue missions.
Basarnas was Leonardos first Indonesian costumer in the form of a government agency.
"This is like an ice breaker because we want to sell more of our helicopters," Lorenzo said.
The Indonesian Air Force has also chosen Leonardos AW101 helicopter, which serves as a multi-purpose helicopter, with sufficient haulage and is projected to conduct missions as a heavy-lift helicopter to increase the mobility of troops and logistics.
Several private operators in Indonesia have also been using Leonardos helicopter such as Susi Air with AW109 and AW119, and Travira Air, which opted for a larger AW139.
"Were also ready to have cooperation in transfer of technology with Indonesia," Lorenzo said.
Leonardo has sold more than 1,000 units of helicopters globally, while this year, the company has received 15 confirmed orders for helicopters from the Indonesian costumers, he said.
Meanwhile, Leonardos Vice President of Market and Business Development, as well as Head of Region Southeast Asia, Bruno Bertella said that Leonardo and the Indonesian Military have been partners for around 20 years.
Leonardo has provided the Indonesian armed forces with a sophisticated defense system, such as an electronic defense systems, torpedos, warship cannons in various calibres.
"We hope to be able to provide a heavy weight torpedo for the Indonesian submarine which was recently built in South Korea," Bruno said.
The Indo Defense Expo and Forum 2016 is currently being held in Jakarta from Nov 2 to 5, in which a total of 844 companies, including 573 foreign companies and 271 domestic ones, are participating.
Indonesias Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu said the exhibition is expected to benefit not only the defense field but also the countrys economy and research and technology development.

Leonardo: Tidak Ada Yang Namanya Helikopter VVIP!

Leonardo, induk perusahaan helikopter AgustaWestland mengatakan, helikopter AW101 yang sedianya akan dibeli oleh TNI AU bukanlah helikopter yang dibuat khusus untuk keperluan pengangkutan VVIP. Helikopter ini didesain untuk menjalankan beragam misi, dari angkut pasukan, misi SAR, patroli, termasuk pengangkutan VVIP.
“Ada satu pihak yang mengatakan bahwa AW101 adalah helikopter VVIP. Saya menyatakan, tidak ada yang namanya helikopter VVIP,” ujar Lorenzo Pariani, Head of Region Leonardo Helicopters saat bertemu Angkasa siang tadi (3/11/2016).
Namun demikian, Lorenzo tidak menampik jika di beberapa negara helikopter AW101 menjalani misi untuk pengangkutan VVIP. Sebab menurutnya, heli ini sangat nyaman dan paling aman di kelasnya.
“Seorang VVIP tidak perlu berjalan membungkuk saat masuk heli ini karena tinggi kabinnya sekitar 1,93 m. Faktor keamanan dan fitur pengamanan diri di AW101 sudah paling baik di kelasnya. Jadi, tak heran kalau banyak negara AW101 digunakan untuk mengangkut kepala negara mereka,” tuturnya.

Selain menolak dikatakan sebagai heli khusus VVIP, Lorenzo juga mengatakan bahwa helikopter AW101 bukanlah sekelas dengan Super Puma ataupun Cougar. Sehingga, otomatis AW101 tidak bisa dibandingkan secara langsung dengan kedua helikopter itu.
Di kesempatan yang sama, Lorenzo juga menjamin ketersediaan suku cadang dan dukungan perawatan yang memadai bagi seluruh operator helikopter yang sekarang berganti nama menjadi Leonardo ini di Indonesia, termasuk jika kelak TNI AU mengakuisisi helikopter AW101.
“Komitmen kami, kami akan bekerjasama dengan perusahaan Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) lokal yang sepenuhnya dikendalikan oleh orang Indonesia. Selain itu, Leonardo juga menjamin akan memberikan dukungan pelatihan secara penuh dan pusat pelatihan sumber daya manusianya di Indonesia.
“Mudahnya, kami ingin menggandeng MRO lokal yang dikendalikan penuh oleh orang Indonesia, melatih, merintis pusat pelatihan, dan pastinya menjual produk kami di Indonesia. Semudah itu,” ujarnya.

Moscow, Jakarta in Talks Over BMP-3F Amphibious Vehicles for Indonesian Navy
MILITARY & INTELLIGENCE 12:12 03.11.2016 (updated 12:23 03.11.2016)
Russia and Indonesia are discussing the supply of a new batch of Russian BMP-3F amphibious infantry fighting vehicles for the Indonesian navy, Deputy Director of Russia's state arms exporter Rosoboronexport Sergei Goreslavsky said Thursday.
JAKARTA (Sputnik) — The talks are being held on the sidelines of the ongoing Indo Defence 2016 International Forum taking place in the Indonesia capital Jakarta. The event, taking place on November 2-5, is one of Southeast Asia's biggest defense industry events and is attended by over 25,000 delegates representing over 750 companies from 55 countries. The Russian exhibit is organized by Rosoboronexport, which is showcasing over 200 pieces of military hardware.
"The Russian and the Indonesian sides are working on a project to supply the third batch of BMP-3F vehicles for the Indonesian navy. Currently, Rosoboronexport and Indonesian representatives are carrying out consultations on the matter," Goreslavsky told RIA Novosti.
Rosoboronexport has brought a real vehicle to showcase at the exhibition, he added, noting that the exporter is actively promoting the BMP-3 variant on the Asia-Pacific market.
"The vehicles are unrivaled in their class on the international arms market in terms of their tactical and technical characteristics, combat capabilities and the cost efficiency ratio. We therefore expect the Indonesian navy top continue purchasing BMP-3Fs," Goreslavsky added.
The first batch of BMP-3F vehicles was supplied by Russia to Indonesia in 2010 after the two countries signed an agreement for Russia to provide a $1 billion-dollar loan during Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to Jakarta in 2007. In 2013, Indonesia purchased a further 37 vehicles worth $114 million.
BMP-3F is a variant of the BMP-3 designed for operations at sea with increased buoyancy and stability. Equipped with water jet propellers, it is capable of speeds of over six miles per second over water and can operate for up to seven hours in amphibious operations.
