Singapore Airshow 2022: PT Dirgantara to sweeten deal for Philippine patrol aircraft requirement​

Indonesian state-owned aircraft manufacturer PT Dirgantara (PTDI) is sweetening its offer for the Philippine Air Force's (PAF's) requirement for two maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) platforms by offering to work with local industry players on the project.

A PTDI representative told Janes at Singapore Airshow 2022 that the company has been unsuccessful in making a bid in the programme multiple times since 2014, but will now change its strategy to a more direct approach instead.

Given that the bidding process has failed multiple times because of technical reasons, PTDI expects the Philippine Department of Defense (DND) to begin approaching selected vendors directly. In anticipation of this, PTDI has begun arranging proposals that can be taken with Philippine companies should it be selected for the programme.

“No Escape Range” is 60km, three times that of the AIM-120C.

that's exactly why we should advocate for EFT with Meteor

its like having a taller opponent in basketball , they will always have an advantage.

This is a great option. 5-6 of these MPAs would help a lot, specially if it comes with ToT (maintenance, overhaul, licenced assembly or part manufacture). Then there's the civilian demand for flights locally.

Singapore Airshow 2022: Indonesia's CN-235 gunship plans delayed by push for aviation biofuel​

18 FEBRUARY 2022

by Ridzwan Rahmat

Indonesia's plan to develop a gunship variant of the CN-235 twin-engine multi-purpose aircraft has been delayed indefinitely amid a push for the country to commercialise a home-grown aviation biofuel type.

The matter was revealed to Janes by an official from state-owned aerospace company PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) at Singapore Airshow 2022. Notably missing from PTDI's exhibition stand during the show was a model of the CN-235 gunship, which has been displayed at past defence exhibitions.

“We are no longer displaying the gunship because it is unclear when this project will resume,” said the official. “The flying testbed that was supposed to be a platform from which we conduct the firing trials is now involved in pre-commercialisation processes of an Indonesian-developed palm-oil based aviation biofuel known as BioAvtur.”

It is actually good if MPA has gunship variant since it can give warning shots during the patrol routine while the ability to launch exocet is only useful as deterrence and in real war situation.

I personally prefer Leonardo ATR-72 (have a bias )

if we get Rafale , maybe we could use Indonesian MRO facilities

The TOT and local involvement will be much greater for CN 235 since Indonesian Aerospace at the moment is in difficulty to get another order for their CN 235 production line.

Currently in the final assembly line for CN 235, there are still 3 CN 235 from Malaysia undergone conversion from transport role into MPA role, but those 3 are expected to complete their conversion this year.

They are in dire needs to keep the production line running for CN 235 while the next order for around 10 planes with transport configuration for Indonesian Armed Force will likely happen next year since 2022 budget cannot cover that potential order.

In 2023-2025 they will not likely to offer the same generous local participation since they will likely be very busy to complete the order coming from Indonesian Armed Force.

CN 235 MPA has 11 hours endurance though, much better than BD requirement
