Key Points

• Indonesia is preparing to induct a Chinese-made integrated air-defence system with its marine corps
• Induction comes at a time when ties between the two countries are being increasingly tested over Beijing's stance in the South China Sea

The Indonesian Marine Corps (Korps Marinir, or KORMAR) has conducted the first test firings of a newly acquired air-defence system from China North Industries (NORINCO), a source close to the service confirmed with IHS Jane's on 15 August.

The tests, in which unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were deployed as targets, were conducted at the Batu Bintang beach in the Sukabumi regency of West Java on 12 August. Present during the tests were technicians from NORINCO to train KORMAR personnel in the handling of the system.

The set-up deployed comprises four units of the Type 90 twin 35 mm towed anti-aircraft gun system, one AF902 mobile air-defence fire-control radar system, and four mobile power supply units. The components, delivered by NORINCO in July 2016, were tested in automatic target acquisition and detection modes.

"The firings were conducted to demonstrate the capability of this anti-aircraft system that will be inducted with KORMAR's Second Air Defence Artillery Battalion", said the service's public affairs office in Sukabumi, in its statement on the tests.

You haven't posted anything new or interesting about Chinese science and technology achievements/developments in the last few days.

I am waiting for some.

Watch out ASML, in 10 years you may not be what you are in semiconductor manufacturing today

SMEE front-end ArF scanner lithography machine delivery ceremony held on 18.08.2016

The likes of Intel, TSMC and Samsung might one day find it more cost effective to source their manufacturing equipments from Chinese suppliers such as SMEE and NMC.

Those are Swiss systems.

China should actually double its efforts in quantum computing. China is still behind the US in quantum computing.

It should set up a state owned enterprise like Haier, and charge it with money to commercialize quantum computing.

Sorry, they are from norinco. Looks similar but far superior than Swiss counterpart.
