LIMA 2017: Fulmar meets its Destini
24th March 2017 - 0:09by Gordon Arthur in Langkawi


mmea-ngpc-small.JPG


The Fulmar X UAV is combining with New Generation Patrol Craft (NGPC) of the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) to create a more effective surveillance tool to monitor Malaysian waters.

The first boat, KM Bagan Datuk, was commissioned at Port Klang on 15 March and it put in an appearance at the LIMA 2017 exhibition in Langkawi. Both Thales and Destini Shipbuilding & Engineering were highlighting their respective contributions at the show.

This was the first sale of the Fulmar X for Thales España. Destini is actually the direct customer, as the shipbuilder was responsible for sourcing a UAV for its six 44.25m vessels ordered under a $93.3 million contract awarded in 2015.

This is the first time the MMEA has operated its own UAVs and certainly it is the first time that Malaysia has integrated from the outset a UAV capability onto its ships.

The 19kg Fulmar has a 3.1m wingspan and its 8-hour endurance offers the ship captain an extra 80km range of surveillance. An aluminium launcher rail is mounted forward of the bridge, while a foldaway net is erected behind it to recover the UAVs.

Two Fulmar operators – a pilot and sensor operator – work inside the boat.

Matt Moore, Thales' head of UAS strategy and product development, said the addition of the Fulmar X will greatly extend the surveillance reach of the NGPV and imagery from the UAVs will be integrated into the craft's common operational picture.

Thales is preparing a 'zero to hero' training package for the MMEA which assumes that operators will have little experience operating UAVs.

The Fulmar X can be land-based as well, and Moore indicated Thales continues to talk to both the MMEA and Royal Malaysian Navy about further sales.

Thales is also proffering its Watchkeeper X, which has a 16-hour endurance, to Malaysia and Indonesia. Both these countries face significant maritime surveillance needs and threats.

The NGPCs are the biggest patrol boats Destini has built to date, with the 297t vessels based on a Fassmer design. The sixth and final boat is due for delivery by June 2018.

The NGPC is armed with Aselsan's 30mm SMASH stabilised gun, this being the Turkish company's first major defence sale to Malaysia. The boats have a top speed of 24kt.

The six vessels will be used for search and rescue, fire-fighting, fishery protection, law enforcement, disaster relief, training, pollution control (e.g. oil spills) and EEZ duties.

The Counterterrorism Yearbook 2017: Indonesia

Indonesia’s 2016 was bookended by two significant terrorist events. The first was the 14 January bombing and shooting attack by four people near the Sarinah department store in the centre of Jakarta , which killed eight people and injured 23 others. The second was a series of arrests for terrorism offences, including a planned suicide bombing of the presidential palace by a female jihadist, intended for 11 December but thwarted by CT police the day before.

jakarta.jpg


Those were just two of at least 13 terrorist incidents and plots in 2016, but they were notable for several reasons. Both were inspired by the Islamic State (IS) and directed by senior Indonesian members of IS in Syria. Indeed, the Sarinah attack was the first IS terrorist operation in Southeast Asia to result in the loss of life. Although in many ways a bungled operation, the attack revealed the ability of senior Indonesian jihadists in Syria to organise violence at home, rather than just recruiting Indonesians to go to the Middle East to fight for IS, as had previously been the case.

The failed 11 December plot was the first involving a potential female suicide bomber in Indonesia. Women have long played an important role in Southeast Asia’s terrorist networks, but to date have never directly participated in an operation. That marks an important change in the dynamics of Indonesian terrorism.

Since the emergence of IS in late 2013, there have been predictions that it would further radicalise terrorists in Indonesia, leading to a return to the types of mass-casualty attacks not seen since the Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotel bombings in Jakarta in August 2009. But for much of 2014 and 2015, IS’s main concern was to attract Southeast Asians to Syria and Iraq as fighters. It made little practical effort to promote operations within Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines—the sources of most of its Southeast Asian fighters. The number of returnees from the Middle East increased over 2016, suggesting that they will pose a mounting security threat for Indonesian counter-terrorism officials. In addition to pro-IS groups intensifying their activity, other sections of the jihadist community, particularly Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), are showing signs of consolidation, though they haven’t been involved in recent violent activity.

While Indonesia’s terrorism threat levels have risen because of IS factors, they remain well below those of the 2000s, when JI-linked terrorists, many of them former Mujahidin who had trained in Afghanistan and northern Pakistan in the late 1980s and early 1990s, put together a succession of highly lethal attacks that resulted in more than 300 deaths and a thousand serious injuries.

ab9145ae2ca14b52a1ab9b0f8facc814-56561447159373dd0c8b4584.jpg


Virtually all terrorist bomb attacks and plots over the past seven years have been of low technical competence and were often amateurish in their execution. But if better leadership and technical competence became available, especially through returnees from Syria, then threat levels could rise significantly. I also contend that, despite the continued success by CT police in detecting, arresting and prosecuting violent jihadists, the Indonesian Government’s overall CT strategies are patchy and misconceived.

It’s important to keep Indonesia’s terrorism problem in perspective—something that the media isn’t always inclined to do. While Indonesia has the largest jihadist community in Southeast Asia, it suffers fewer terrorism fatalities than the Philippines. Of the several thousand Indonesian jihadists, most aren’t supporters of IS, and they don’t involve themselves in or approve of terrorist attacks against civilians, at least for now. Of the minority who are IS aligned, very few have the skills and discipline to mount major attacks, though many have the wish to do so.

While foreigners and non-Muslim Indonesians are high-priority targets for IS members and affiliates, Indonesian Government officials, especially police and prosecutors, remain at the top of the enemy list and are the most vulnerable to attack.

Indonesia is very likely to experience worsening terrorism problems in the coming years. Despite police success at breaking up terrorist cells and plots, there’s a ready supply of new recruits to extreme jihadist causes like IS. Some recruits are older, more experienced jihadists who’ve come to regard IS’s struggle as more virtuous or compelling than that of other jihadist groups to which they’ve been affiliated. But many of the new recruits are younger and from backgrounds with little trace of militancy or puritanism.

As IS’s military fortunes continue to decline in Syria and Iraq, opening up the prospect of its partial collapse, the possible return of skilled, battle-hardened jihadists to Indonesia could substantially add to the potency of local terrorist groups. If Indonesia’s experience of Mujahidin returning from Afghanistan and Pakistan 25 years ago is any guide, many IS returnees will be committed to violent jihad at home.

The likelihood of a worsening terrorism threat should impel the Jokowi government to bolster its broader counter-terrorist efforts. The National Counter-Terrorism Agency is struggling to properly address many of the key issues relating to radicalisation, and most of Indonesia’s successes in counterterrorism are due to law enforcement, rather than prevention campaigns. Better researched and more tightly targeted deradicalisation programs, along with more professional management of terrorist prisoners and closer monitoring of releasees, would be a substantial advance in Indonesia’s combating of extremism.

Big Oz bets on Asia

The descriptor ‘Asia’ attempts to identify so much that it delivers sparse meaning. So making a series of big bets on Asia will help define the many tasks and pressures confronting the Foreign Policy White Paper. The Asia bets flow from the need to Trump-proof the alliance. The previous column outlined Australian bets on Japan stepping up as an independent strategic leader in Asia and on Australia seeking membership of ASEAN. Now for further bets on Indonesia and India (with China on the table next week).

23107119283_2f4edbea34_b.jpg


These big punts are an Oz version of Pascal’s Wager, living to secure infinite gains (heaven) and avoid infinite losses (hell). Australia must wager that the emerging Asian order can achieve some levels of rationality, cohesion and peace—and not send us to hell. Indonesia is a prime example of the uncertainties that bedevil Australia’s Asia bets. Name two neighbouring states with less in common. Maybe Australia and Papua New Guinea come close. Indonesia can direct Australia’s regional dreams or dominate its nightmares. Just as Papua New Guinea shapes the way Australia thinks about the South Pacific, Indonesia frames Australia’s view of Southeast Asia.

Australia and Indonesia make a disparate pair, destined to discomfort, elevating a bit of common pragmatism to a guiding principle: we must live together though we are ever apart. The Secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Frances Adamson, frames the Indonesia bet in the White Paper: ‘A key question for Australian diplomacy is what influence we will have in Indonesia as it grows in stature?’

Her answer:

‘As Indonesia reaches its potential as a top-ten or even top-five economy, with strategic weight to match, we want Indonesia to look to Australia as a reliable source of acute judgements and sensitive advice.’

In this bilateral relationship, the power meter keeps shifting Jakarta’s way. The problem for Oz is a 1960s Jakarta jest that still resonates: ‘Australia is like your appendix, you only think about it when it hurts.’ In the 20th century, the relationship was defined by differences. This century, Australia must seek equality and partnership with an ever-more powerful Indonesia. Our mindset must change.

As on most things Oz–Indonesia, the late Jamie Mackie is a reliable source. Here’s a ten-point guide drawing on many years listening to Jamie, as well as the study he wrote (a decade old, yet as fresh as tomorrow): ‘Australia and Indonesia: Current problems, future prospects’.

A central Mackie thought:

‘We should endeavour to ensure at all costs that our broader regional and global policies diverge from Indonesia’s as little as possible—and ideally should follow essentially convergent trajectories.’

Continually measuring Australia’s choices against Indonesian regional policy is a distinctly new way to steer Canberra’s mindset, and will constitute one of our big bets. Such an alignment will feed into the slow shift that would see Australia and New Zealand eventually join ASEAN.
