Key Points




    • Indonesia has added the Type 214 class to a list of submarine platforms it is now considering
    • Talks are in line with the Indonesian Navy's strategy of diversifying the mix of its future submarine fleet
The Indonesian Navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia - Angkatan Laut, or TNI-AL) has received an offer from Golcük Shipyard to supply a variant of the Reis (Type 214)-class diesel-electric submarine (SSK).

Multiple TNI-AL sources have confirmed with Jane's that meetings and presentations on the Type 214 class were conducted from early 2017 by a team of Golcük Shipyard and TKMS officials at the TNI-AL headquarters in Cilangkap near Jakarta.

The meetings will be followed by a visit of TNI-AL officials to Golcük Shipyard's facilities near Istanbul, where they will observe construction work on the Turkish Navy's first Type 214 boat, Pirireis (S 330). This visit is currently scheduled to take place from 7 to 12 May 2017, in parallel to the IDEF 2017 exhibition.

The Turkish Navy is anticipating the delivery of six Type 214 submarines from Golcük Shipyard. The first of-class is slated for launch in 2019, and all six boats are expected to be commissioned by 2025.

According to Jane's Fighting Ships , the Reis-class SSK features an overall length of 67.6 m, an overall beam of 6.3 m, and a hull draught of 6.0 m. The platform, which can accommodate a crew of 27 including five officers, has a top speed of 20 kt when dived, and 12 kt when surfaced.

The boat is equipped with bow, flank and towed array sonars, and eight tubes that can launch 533 mm torpedoes including the Raytheon Mk 48 Mod 6, and the Atlas Elektronik DM2A4.
 
Defence Turkey: Dear Mr. Demirel, in which direction are the design activities proceeding and the activities related with the following stage within the scope of the TF-2000 program, which has been on Turkey’s agenda for a long time? Is the implementation of a consortium model in which military and private shipyards work together foreseen in this program just as in the I-Class Frigate program? Could you please evaluate the setup here?

The naval platforms having Anti-Air Warfare capability are amongst the primary military forces used for regional defense that plays a key role in the accomplishment of the air defense in the region that they exist. On a global scale, it is understood that similar platforms are extremely great programs on which detailed work is conducted in respect to design, manufacturing and finance. Certainly, at this point, another key factor that needs to be recalled is the achievement of a joint operation in an efficient manner with other land, naval and air military units in the inventory, ensuring interoperability in respect to regional air defense.

Rather than an individual project, the TF-2000 Anti Air Warfare Frigate is a program requiring the realization of many disciplines through long term and strategic plans in line with a common purpose. Within this scope, various indigenous projects such as the Multifunction Phased Array Radar System (CAFRAD), Surface-to-Surface Guided munition, unique torpedo, adaptation of combat management system have been initiated prior to the construction of the main platform and they are being executed in line with their schedules.

Taking into consideration the projects I previously mentioned, regarding the subsystems towards the design and construction of the TF-2000 platform and bearing in mind the feasibility study prepared earlier, we have reached the final stage of our activities for determining the most optimal project model in financial and technical aspects, as well as the schedule. We aim for maximum benefit from the engineering infrastructure in our navy and from our shipyards as well as the main system suppliers that have been assigned in many military ship construction projects up until today.

On the other hand, both concerning the issues in respect to the gathering of our private sector shipyards and the utilization of the facilities of the military shipyards, we have a favorable attitude, yet instead of being insistent in this respect, I believe that the industry’s presentation of its own solutions would be healthier and more permanent.

Defence Turkey: Could you please inform us on the latest status of the MILGEM- I Class Frigate (MILGEM 5-8), New Type Submarine, Fast Intervention Boat Projects, Turkish Type Fast Patrol Boat, Landing Helicopter Dock (LHD), Off-Shore Tugboat, Amphibious Ship (LST) programs?

Regarding the procurement of the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth ships of our MILGEM Project, we issued our Call for Proposals in the second half of 2016. Our activities for the evaluation of the proposals of the bidders are proceeding. We aim to finalize the tender process as soon as possible and submit the project to the Defense Industry Executive Committee.

Regarding the New Type Submarine Project, we initiated the construction of the first submarine in the last quarter of 2015 and the construction of the second one began in the first half of 2016. Currently the pressure hull construction of the submarines is being carried out at the Gölcük Shipyard Command and the factory acceptance tests of the sub-systems which will exist on-board are being run as well. Our efforts continue with an intensive pace toward gaining this important project into the inventory every other year starting from 2021; a project in which many of our domestic companies assumed critical tasks.

Within the scope of the Landing Helicopter Dock (LHD) Project, the construction of the hull has been initiated and the activities for the revision of the design in line with the requirements and contract execution are proceeding.

As part of the Amphibious Ship (LST), completion of the initial acceptance activities of the 2 ships and their delivery to the Naval Forces Command is planned to take place in 2017.

Within the scope of the Fast Patrol Boat Project, the proposal evaluation has been completed and readiness studies concerning the submittal of the project to the Defense Industry Executive Committee continue.

Concerning the Turkish Type Fast Patrol Boat, Final Report on Request for Information prepared as a result of the activities conducted by our Undersecretariat was submitted to the Turkish General Staff and the Naval Forces Command. The activities are being executed by the Naval Forces Command in line with the points presented in the Final Report. Our Undersecretariat will launch the readiness for the tender when these activities are accomplished.

In respect to the Multi-Purpose Off-Shore Tugboat Project, the tender has been launched and the proposals are expected to be received by the end of April. We plan to complete the evaluation of the proposals in 2017. Within the scope of the auxiliary vessels, we recently initiated our activities for launching a tender for the Shore/Harbor Tug Project. We aim to issue the Call for Proposals for this project in 2017.

I did made a research previously about this. They say a typical naval vessel has excess 9 megawatt of power. For a usefull railgun system to continuously fire ship needs 32 megawatt of power (I do apologize for coulndt able find the same article that i learned this at the moment).

For example a Zumwalt-class Destroyer of US has Total: 78 Megawatt of power, a Turkish Ada-class Corvett has ~34 megawatt of power.
