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, 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.

Indonesia, Singapore discuss shipping security at Malacca Strait
Kamis, 3 November 2016 00:45 WIB | 706 Views

Denpasar (ANTARA News) - Officials from Indonesia and Singapore met here on Wednesday to discuss shipping security in the Malacca-Singapore Straits.

The head of the Sub-Directorate of Buoy Base and Workshop of the Ministry of Transportation, Soedirman Said, said the Malacca-Singapore Straits lane is very crowded as it is the meeting point for up to 80,000 ships of various types every year.

This leads to frequent accidents in the area.

A system of separate routes of ship traffic (TSS) has been set up between the deep part of the lane from West to East and the other way round, that is East to West, which is shallower for ships that no longer carry cargo.

"Many ships that pass along these lanes often cannot identify each other or ships coming from the opposite routes," he noted.

He reminded that Indonesia has not yet joined the navigation assistance facility in the TSS lane because based on the mandate of the International Maritime Organization that has the right to arrange navigation in the TSS lane are Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) Singapore and VTS Malaysia.

In view of that, Soedirman noted that based on the IMO Resolution A.375, Indonesia also played a role in improving navigation in the crowded and narrow lane "so that VTS Singapore and VTS Indonesia could coordinate in the exchange of information to improve safety, especially in the Singapore Strait."

On the occasion, the head of Operation Section of Sub-Directorate of Shipping Telecommunication of the Directorate of Navigation of the Ministry of Transportation, Erika Manurung, said Indonesia did not have VTS when the navigation arrangement was determined by the IMO at the TSS.

Erika reminded that Indonesia only set up VTS in 1997 and it became operational in 1998. Right now, it has 20 VTS spreading across ports in Indonesia with three of them in Merak, Batam and Benoa. These also arrange buoys in the straits or bays.

"We will also offer cooperation for capacity building, information sharing and other aspects," she assured.

The head of Ship Accidents and Checks Section, Wahyu Prianto, disclosed that on an average, three to five accidents happen every year in the Malacca-Singapore Strait, but added that the number of accidents dropped significantly when compared to around 20 accidents annually earlier.

The head of the Sub-Directorate of Port System 1 and head of the Port Authority of Singapore Port, Kevin Wong, hailed the proposal for cooperation.

"Talking about VTS, what is more important to develop than equipment are human resources and a culture of safety," he pointed out.

Mini-submarine project ready to move ahead [INDODEF16-D3]

Indonesia is moving forward with plans to develop and build an indigenous mini-submarine (Kapal Selam Mini) after completing final engineering design activities earlier this year.

p1692211.jpg


PT Palindo Marine (Hall D, Stand 077) has confirmed to the Daily News that it plans to begin construction activities at its yard next year for a prototype boat. This is intended to serve as a technology demonstrator to prove the design ahead of follow-on production.

Work has been under way since 2007 to develop an indigenous submarine design capability, and to mature the Kapal Selam Mini concept to a production-ready state.

The Ministry of Defence’s research and development arm (Balitbang Kemhan) has worked with a core team of local industry and academia, including PT Palindo Marine, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember, the University of Indonesia, and BPPT. Other companies contributing to the work to date include PT Len, PT Dirgantara Indonesia, PT Barata and PT RiSEA.

The Kapal Selam Mini design baseline is a 22m boat with a 3m diameter pressure hull and a submerged displacement of 127.1 tonnes. The design, to be classified to DNV GL standards, is able to accommodate up to 12 personnel (a crew of five and seven combat swimmers), remain submerged for up to three days without snorkelling, and dive to a maximum depth of 150m. PT Palindo Marine anticipates delivery of the Kapal Selam Mini technology demonstrator in 2019.

The company is developing plans to upgrade its facilities in Batam in order to enable pressure hull manufacture.

Indo Defence 2016: ShinMaywa inches towards US-2 sale to Indonesia
Jon Grevatt, Bangkok - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
03 November 2016

ShinMaywa Industries is looking to progress a sale of the US-2 to Indonesia in 2017. Source: Japanese Maritime Self-Defence Force


Japanese company ShinMaywa Industries is moving forward with its potential programme to provide its US-2 amphibious search-and-rescue (SAR) aircraft to Indonesia, industry officials have told IHS Jane's at the Indo Defence 2016 exhibition in Jakarta.

The programme features the initial supply of only three aircraft but has significance for Japan because it could represent the country's first major international defence sale since Tokyo lifted the country's long-standing ban on military exports in April 2014.

Masayuki Tanaka, the manager of ShinMaywa's amphibious aircraft export division, said on 3 November that although the US-2 is not equipped with any weapons or munitions, the aircraft is considered by the Japanese government as a defence product because it is operated by the Japan Self Defense Force.

He added that ShinMaywa is hopeful that a contract to supply the aircraft to the Indonesian Armed Forces can be completed soon. "At a government level Japan and Indonesia are continuing to discuss the US-2 export programme and we hope an agreement can be reached in 2017."

Impetus in the US-2 sale to Indonesia was also provided by a defence collaboration deal signed by the two governments in March 2015 that outlines a commitment from both Indonesia and Japan to collaborate on military equipment and technologies. To that end, Tanaka said ShinMaywa is presently talking to Indonesian company PT Dirgantara about a collaboration programme centred on the US-2.

Tanaka added that, in addition to Indonesia, "several" Asian countries have expressed interest in acquiring the US-2. IHS Jane's understands that Thailand is considering the aircraft for its SAR requirements. Another major opportunity resides in India.

The Indian Navy is thought to have a requirement for 12 US-2 aircraft for an estimated USD1.6 billion. Japan and India have been engaged in talks about a potential sale of the aircraft for some time, although the Japanese Ministry of Defense (MoD) told IHS Jane's in October that negotiations had stalled due to Tokyo's requirement to receive greater clarity about the details of India's US-2i procurement policy.

Indo Defence 2016: Lundin rises from the ashes
03rd November 2016 - 7:00 by Grant Turnbull in Jakarta
0b478b23.jpg


Shipbuilder PT Lundin is on track to deliver a replacement vessel for the Indonesian Navy’s KRI Klewang that was completely destroyed in a fire four years ago, the company’s CEO has confirmed.

John Lundin told Shephard that his company was still on schedule to deliver a new 63m trimaran-hull vessel ‘late next year’, with build progress now over 30% complete at its facility in Banyuwangi, East Java.

Built with modern composite materials, KRI Klewang was planned to be a nimble fast attack craft – incorporating four to eight anti-ship missiles – with stealth features that reduced radar and thermal signatures.

However, shortly after being delivered in 2012 the ship caught fire and was ultimately lost. Despite an investigation from several teams, and a focus on the ship's composite structure, the ultimate cause of the fire remains unknown and no blame has been attributed to PT Lundin.

‘After the accident there has been some re-evaluation and assessments, but we are hopeful we can get it on the water next year,’ said Lundin. ‘Of course, people had some concern about composites after this - that’s why we started several research projects.’

PT Lundin has worked with Indonesian research laboratories to get approval for a new solution that it calls a ‘self-extinguishing resin’, which is a component of the composite material. ‘The performance is much better than aluminium,’ explained Lundin.

Recent reports have indicated that Indonesia has cut funding for the project, and primary mission system integrator Saab – which was planned to provide the ship’s CMS, weapons and radar systems – had also pulled out of the project.

Lundin could not explain the reason for Saab’s withdrawal from the project. He said that the first boat could become a technology demonstrator, but reaffirmed that the project on the whole was not cancelled.

Integration of a new CMS and weapon systems will be determined by the Indonesian Navy, with potential options for anti-ship missiles being the Chinese C-704, Saab’s RBS15, the Kongsberg Naval Strike Missile and the MBDA Exocet.

Interest in the stealth ship is not limited to Indonesia, said Lundin, with several countries showing an interest for ‘light missile boats’, which are smaller and cheaper than traditional vessels. The ships are particularly suited for operations such as counter-piracy in shallow littoral waters.

The vessel can embark a 12m RHIB, big enough for a 10-person boarding crew.

‘If you do not have global interests we believe in fast and short range,’ said Lundin. ‘Small, high-tech, boats are also easier on infrastructure.’
