you belittle their achievement and thats not good at all, and please dont give me crap about talking other topics like ToT. You run away from what made me a little ilk about Indonesian member behavior

For your info, military industry of India had achieve a broad ranges of military products far more advanced than what we perceived them to be

for examples, Bharat electronic had producing broad range of electronic warfare systems, from radar, artillery locating system radar, electronic countermeasure systems, simulator, data link systems and so on

India too had made indigenous weapons system like Akash missile,

even the most negatively touted HAL, had made considerable successes in many fields, like producing indigenous engines for their helicopter HAL Dhruv (regardless of their failure at export, are our "beloved" PT DI can do something like that?)

Lol, at least show your respect for their advancement in which decades ahead far more than ours

Foreign defense firms ready to work with local companies

Foreign defense suppliers expressed readiness on Thursday to transfer technologies to Indonesia in cooperation with local companies to meet the country’s need for major weapons systems.

The Defense Ministry has identified several acquisition programs in its second Strategic Plan (Renstra), which spans 2014 to 2019, such as the replacement of the US-made F-5 E/F Tiger II light jet fighter and more transportation aircraft to supplement the current fleet of US-made C-130 H Hercules heavy transportation aircraft.

Swedish defense company Saab said it was ready to transfer knowledge and technology should Indonesia decide to buy its light jet fighter,the Gripen C/D.

“We are ready to deliver the aircraft in 18 months after the contract is signed,” head of the Gripen program Jerker Ahlqvist told reporters at the 2016 Indo Defense Expo and Forum held at JIExpo in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta.

“Not only that, we will also be fully compliant with Law No. 16/2012 [on the defense industry] as required by the government.”

The law requires that all major weapons systems be procured domestically. If domestic companies cannot fulfill the demand, foreign suppliers have to meet a certain local content level in cooperation with local defense companies. This can be done through industrial cooperation or an offset program.

Ahlqvist pointed to an industrial cooperation with Brazil, which has ordered a total of 36 Gripens,that sees up to 350 Brazilian engineers participating in training sessions at the Saab factory in Linkoping, Sweden, to prepare for a domestic Brazilian production line.

Another competitor to replace the F-5 E/F, US defense giant Lockheed Martin, boasts a successful industrial cooperation record with state-owned aircraft maker PT Dirgantara Indonesia (DI), when Indonesia purchased the 12 F-16 A/B Block 15 OCU light jet fighter in 1989.

Indonesia received an offset scheme of 35 percent of the total purchase value with PT DI sending a number of F-16 parts to the US.

“We were satisfied with PT DI’s performance back then and we are sure PT DI will be able to do it this time around,” said Randall L. Howard, integrated fighter group director at Lockheed Martin.

Howard was referring to the US defense firm’s offer of a F-16 Viper, also known as the Block 70/72, the latest iteration of the venerable F-16, which has clocked some 17 million flight hours in more than 25 countries worldwide.

He said Lockheed Martin was involved in industrial cooperation worth US$45 billion for various F-16 customers.

Meanwhile, Italian defense giant Leonardo-Finmeccanica revealed that it was in talks with various parties in Indonesia on its own plan of setting up a training academy; a maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) unit;and the possibility of having an Indonesian assembly line, mostly for its AgustaWestland helicopter models.

“We are in talks in various companies, both private and state-owned, for the training and MRO capabilities,” said Lorenzo Pariani, head of the Southeast-Asia region of Leonardo’s helicopter division.

Leonardo’s Southeast-Asia regionhead, Bruno Bertella, said the company had been in Indonesia, in various entities, since the 1980s.

“We have identified Indonesia as one of 12 strategic markets which are important for us.We are here to stay with a long-term investment.”

Indo Defence 2016: All change for Indonesian helicopter industry
04th November 2016 - 1:21by Tony Skinner in Jakarta

Indonesia’s helicopter industry still needs to evolve to fully take advantage of the opportunities offered by the archipelago nation, according to a key advocacy group.

The industry was forced to dramatically adjust following the flatlining of the oil and gas market in recent years, according to Capt Donny Hardjanto, head of the helicopter committee of the Indonesian Pilot Association, which represents some 3,000 pilots across the country.

Speaking to Shephard at Indo Defence in Jakarta, Hardjanto said with lower demand from oil and gas, increased emphasis was being instead placed on growing the corporate/VIP, tourism and parapublic sectors.

‘The activity of the oil and gas operators is reducing in quantity and therefore the number of heavier helicopters in service is also reducing. We are trying to keep the industry running by finding alternative activities for the lighter helicopters,’ he explained.

Helicopters were still being underutilised for Indonesia’s tourism market, while SAR services were concentrated mainly on the western side of the country. Although Indonesia’s Basarnas national SAR agency is beginning to renew its fleet, including through the recent introduction of one new AW139(pictured), funding constraints has kept the brakes on this effort.

However, the corporate sector was becoming the ‘life saver’ for helicopter operators, according to Hardjanto, and was one of the few areas seeing growth.

‘Business is not good but there is some activity still there and we are still seeing some growth. Some operators are selling their heavier models that were tailored for oil and gas and bringing in smaller types. Those aircraft are now starting to find work.’

Hardjanto said the Indonesian helicopter market was crying out for a ‘new concept light helicopter’ that was cheaper to operate, easy to maintain and took advantage of modern advances such as satellite navigation.

Nevertheless, he cautioned that the government’s regulatory process was still not tailored to introduce such new technologies while the country’s infrastructure, including helicopter access to airports and the number of established heliports available, still needed investment for the industry to fully thrive.

Those are our traditional partners, yet sometimes we have to reach beyond the boundaries to look out for for the best opportunities. Who knows what's the deal behind the MOU.
