PAL upbeat about completion of third sub

Shipmaker PT PAL Indonesia has expressed confidence that it will be able to deliver a third submarine ordered by the Indonesian Navy on time.

The company has reasons to be upbeat: Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Co (DSME) has trained more than 200 Indonesians in South Korea as part of a transfer-of-technology agreement between the two companies.

PT PAL, with the assistance of DSME, is expected to deliver the third submarine in late 2018.

The state-owned shipmaker’s president director, Budiman Saleh, conceded that when working on the first and second Changbogo Class submarines in South Korea, the company made a number of mistakes.

However, none have been made during the building of the third submarine.

“This is a historic moment for us, PT PAL, because according to DSME’s supervision, we have made zero mistakes when working on the third submarine in Surabaya,” Budiman said on the sidelines of a ceremony for the third submarines which was held at the grand assembly area of the company’s warship division in Surabaya on Monday.

He added that with the expertise of its employees, PT PAL would be able to independently master submarine-building technology, the highest level of technology in the shipyard industry.

The company is currently working on joining and integrating different sections made separately in DSME’s factory in South Korea into the single hull of a submarine.

DSME won the bid for building three submarines for the Indone- sian Navy. It invited PT PAL Indonesia to take part in the project through a transfer-of-technology scheme.

The government has previously disbursed Rp 1.5 trillion (US$112.4 million) through a state capital injection (PMN) scheme that PT PAL used to develop a submarine factory and purchase various supporting equipment needed in the process of joining and integrating the third submarine.

The company uses a five-section joining technique starting from the stern to the bow of the submarine. If the process succeeds, PT PAL Indonesia will be able to build the fourth, fifth and sixth submarines independently. “We are targeting to produce the fourth, fifth and sixth submarines entirely in PAL,” Budiman said.

Hope we stick with Nagapasa class to be built at PT PAL facilities and at the same time ordering foreign design to increasing our exposure towards new technologies

Swedia tawarkan A26 Submarine
Swedia Tawarkan Teknologi Kapal Selam 'Hantu' ke Indonesia

Swedia tak main-main dalam menawarkan alat utama sistem persenjataan (alutsista) kepada Indonesia. Setidaknya, ada dua alat tempur terbaru yang ditawarkan oleh perusahaan pertahanan Saab AB, yakni Kapal Selam A26 Kelas Gotland dan Radar Erieye AEW&C.

Menurut Vice President Head of Saab Indonesia, Anders Dahl, perusahaan telah 100 tahun mendesain, mengembangkan, dan memproduksi kapal-kapal perang, khususnya pengembangan program kapal selam modern A26.

Teknologi kapal selam terbaru yang dikembangkan Swedia ini memiliki kemampuan tinggal di kedalaman laut dalam waktu lama. Selain itu, meski bukan tergolong kapal selam nuklir, A26 diklaim sebagai kapal selam siluman bertenaga diesel-listrik yang paling maju di dunia.

"Kapal selam A26 punya sistem Kockums Stirling AIP (Air-Independent Propulsion) dan teknologi 'stealth' terbaru yang diberi nama GHOST (Genuine HOlistic STealth). Ini yang membuatnya nyaris tidak terdeteksi saat di bawah air," kata Dahl kepada VIVA.co.id, Selasa, 29 Agustus 2017. Ia melanjutkan, kapal selam diesel-elektrik dikenal dengan mesinnya yang minim suara, tetapi memiliki kekurangan pada tenaga dan ketahanan.
Kekurangan ini mampu diatasi dengan sistem Kockums Stirling AIP, yang menggunakan oksigen cair dan bahan bakar simpanan untuk menghasilkan energi di dalam air.

AS pun mengakui

Teknologi ini, lanjut Dahl, membuat A26 mampu bergerak dalam air tanpa muncul ke permukaan hingga 18 hari. Sementara itu, GHOST, merupakan teknologi siluman yang material dan kontur, baik eksternal maupun internal, pada A26 disesuaikan untuk meminimalisasi pantulan suara. Dengan begitu, sebagian besar dari gelombang suara yang mengenai lambung A26 akan diserap. Kemudian, pada bagian internal A26 juga dipasang karet peredam suara di tempat-tempat yang menghasilkan banyak suara seperti ruang mesin.
Dahl pun memiliki pengalaman mengesankan ketika kapal selam A26 mengikuti latihan gabungan antara Angkatan Laut Swedia dan Amerika Serikat pada 2005-2007.

"Saat itu kapal perang AL AS tidak mampu mendeteksi keberadaan A26. Apalagi, mereka mengerahkan kapal selam nuklir Kelas Ohio. Ini tentu reputasi A26 sudah diakui," ungkap dia. Dahl menambahkan, Swedia bukan negara anggota Pakta Pertahanan Atlantik Utara (NATO). Negara itu bebas melakukan kerja sama militer dengan Indonesia 'tanpa ada tekanan'.Seperti diketahui, akhir tahun lalu, Menteri Pertahanan Ryamizard Ryacudu ditawari kapal selam dan jet tempur oleh Menteri Pertahanan Swedia Carl Anders Peter Hultqvist.
Hal ini kemudian dituangkan ke dalam nota kesepahaman bidang pertahanan atau naskah Defence Cooperatian Agreement (DCA).

What navies already use A26? AFAIK, none, yet. I think it's status is similar to Amur-Class. Do you think TNI-AL wants to be the launch customer of any new submarine type? It's very risky you know.

If we able to develop and get some technology like we did with KFX then why not? getting IFX and u209 from Korea is also big risk but we get through it.

 

[initial_d_mk2]

Why not, Either A26 with sweden or U-214 with Turkey/Germany, as long it is not Kilo sub.

Indonesia Tertarik Membeli Kapal Selam Buatan Rusia



Varshavyanka class ☆

Indonesia tertarik untuk memiliki kapal selam diesel elektrik Proyek 636 “Varshavyanka”, kata Kepala Layanan Federal untuk Kerja Sama Teknik-Militer Rusia (FSMTC) Dmitry Shugayev dalam sebuah wawancara dengan Kommersant, sebagaimana dilansir dari RBC.

Shugayev menganggap bahwa hal ini sebagai “sinyal yang baik”. “Kami telah membahas hal ini dengan mitra dari Indonesia. Saat ini, kami siap untuk membuat model kerja sama yang saling menguntungkan,” ujar Shugayev.

Pada saat yang sama, kepala FSMTC juga menambahkan bahwa Jakarta juga sedang berupaya mengembangkan produksi peralatan kelautannya sendiri.

Kapal selam Varshavyanka adalah kapal selam generasi ketiga yang memiliki berat benaman 3.950 ton. Dengan bobotnya itu, kapal selam ini bisa melaju di bawah air dengan kecepatan 20 knot dan mampu menyelam sedalam 300 meter. Varshavyanka juga dapat menampung hingga 52 orang awak kapal.

Rusia telah mempertimbangkan kemungkinan pemasokan kapal selam non-nuklir Varshavyanka (Proyek 636) untuk Indonesia sejak 2016 lalu. Kapal selam Proyek 636 yang telah dimodifikasi ini memiliki efektivitas tempur yang lebih tinggi. Varshavyanka dilengkapi dengan torpedo berkaliber 533 milimeter (sebanyak enam unit), bom, dan sistem rudal ‘Kalibr’.

Kapal ini juga mampu mendeteksi target pada jarak tiga sampai empat kali lebih besar dibandingkan kemampuan deteksi musuh. Atas kemampuan silumannya tersebut, kapal selam ini mendapat julukan ‘lubang hitam’ oleh NATO.

If we able to develop and get some technology like we did with KFX then why not? getting IFX and u209 from Korea is also big risk but we get through it.

Chang Bogo is not a big risk, the SoKor have produced 9 of them for their own navy. Even if Chang Bogo is not based on U209, let's say 100% korean design, they already have made a substantial unit of that sub. All flaws in that sub must have been fixed.

KFX/IFX is a risk, but still not a big risk because we co-develop it. We follow and are involved every development. Just like that we co-develop CN-235. Any flaws that might appear can be detected by us before production begins.

As for A26, we did not co-develop it. In order to get TOT of A26, we first have to buy it and be the launch customer. If there are at least 5 units of A26 already been used by any navy, then I support the purchase and TOT of A26.

But for now, I'm sticking with chang bogo or kilo.
