Hi nufix, can you give information about the manufacturer? is it Lundin?
Btw that 50 cal machine gun is RCWS right? because if its manual operated then our marine corps must draft Shaquille O'Neal or Yao Ming to be the gunner

Nah, Lundin does not take part in this boat. I think their speciality is multi-hulled ships like catamaran and trimaran.

PT KKB, Tesco Indomaritim with experts from Ditbekangad, Baengpusbekang, ITS, ITB.

Jenoptik supplies equipment for military land vehicles.

Jena/Wedel, 28.04.2014

On behalf of a German systems supplier, the Jenoptik Defense & Civil Systems division will equip military land vehicles with turret and weapon stabilization systems and with 17-kW Auxiliary Power Units.

Jenoptik received the two orders, worth 13.5 million euros in total, from Rheinmetall, a leading German manufacturer of security and defense technology. Until the end of 2015, Jenoptik will supply all-electric turret and weapon stabilization systems as well as 17-kW Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) for retrofitting tanks of the Leopard 2 type, which will be delivered to the Republic of Indonesia. The stabilization systems contract was awarded at the end of March 2014 already, the APU contract followed in mid-April.

The turret and weapon stabilization systems serve to stabilize the turret and weapon even while driving. The APUs generate sufficient electrical on-board power even when the engine is not running. Compared to the systems previously used, these APUs provide a significantly improved performance due to their 17-kW power supply and compact design.

Jenoptik is one of Germany’s most important providers of subsystems and components in the area of security anddefense technology. “The energy and stabilization systems are a central pillar of the Defense & Civil Systems division’s business. This new order contributes to securing about 900 workplaces at the four locations in Germany. We are delighted that we can again provide added value to our customer”, says Jenoptik President & CEO Michael Mertin.

Lockheed Martin has secured an USD80 million contract to supply fire-control sensors to be fitted to Boeing AH-64E Apache attack helicopters ordered by Indonesia in 2013.

A US Department of Defense notice on 29 April said Lockheed Martin had been contracted to supply Indonesia with eight Lot 9 Modernized Target Acquisition Designations/Sight Pilot Night Vision Sensors (M-TADS/PNVS), as well as spares.

The contract progresses as a Foreign Military Sale (FMS), with deliveries estimated to be complete by 2018.

Washington confirmed in August 2013 that it had agreed to sell eight Apache helicopters to Indonesia. The FMS deal is costed at USD500 million.

Angkatan Laut Tambah 16 Helikopter Baru
KAMIS, 01 MEI 2014

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Tentara Nasional Indonesia Angkatan Laut akan menerima alat utama sistem persenjataan baru berupa helikopter anti-kapal selam jenis AS565 Panther. Angkatan Laut sudah mengajukan permohonan pengadaan helikopter tersebut ke Kementerian Pertahanan.

"Kami mintanya satu skuadron (16 buah), dan di Kementerian Pertahanan saya dengar hampir kontrak. Kapan datangnya, kami belum tahu," kata Kepala Pusat Penerangan TNI AL Laksamana Pertama Untung Suropati kepada Tempo, Senin, 28 April 2014.

Menurut Untung, Angkatan Laut sangat membutuhkan helikopter anti-kapal selam tersebut. Sebab, saat ini TNI AL belum punya helikopter anti-kapal selam yang mumpuni. Helikopter Panther ini dinilai punya kemampuan yang bagus untuk mendeteksi kapal selam musuh yang bersembunyi di dalam laut. Helikopter buatan Eurocopter ini juga mampu menembakkan torpedo untuk mengandaskan kapal selam musuh dari atas permukaan laut.

Sesuai rencana, helikopter Panther akan ditempatkan di atas dek kapal perang milik TNI AL. Sebab, fungsi helikopter anti-kapal selam ini merupakan perpanjangan mata dan tangan dari sebuah kapal perang. "Jadi bisa dibilang filosofi helikopter kami berbeda dengan Angkatan Udara," katanya.

Next govt must continue to militarily strengthen, says minister
Bagus BT Saragih, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | National | Fri, May 02 2014

Defense Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro said on Friday that he hoped President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s successor would continue to bolster the Indonesian Military’s (TNI) weapon systems in accordance with the Minimum Essential Force (MEF) framework.

“The development of our defense under President Yudhoyono’s leadership has been very strong. I think this deserves people’s appreciation and the program should be continued by the next government,” Purnomo told The Jakarta Post.

The minister added that the successor of Yudhoyono, who will end his second tenure in office in October, should also continue to strengthen Indonesia’s position as a regional power and increase the country’s leverage globally.

“You cannot have soft power without the backing of effective hard power,” Purnomo said.

The MEF is a multi-year concept to develop the TNI’s posture since 2010. Since then, the government has continued to modernize the military’s weaponry in accordance with the economic situation.

Indonesia is targeting the purchase of 128 military aircraft and 12 submarines by 2024.

During the opening of the 2014 National Development Planning Conference (Musrenbangnas) in Jakarta on Wednesday, Yudhoyono applauded the implementation of MEF programs.

The President also said Indonesia would continue to participate in UN peacekeeping forces, with a target of being one of the world’s top ten contributors of troops to the UN.

TNI confiscates 28 rifles from OPM
Nethy Dharma Somba, The Jakarta Post, Jayapura | Archipelago | Fri, May 02 2014, 5:03 PM

Cendrawasih Military chief Maj. Gen. Christian Zebua said the Army (TNI) had confiscated 28 rifles from the separatist group the Free Papua Movement (OPM) between January to April during territorial operations in Papua.

"The 28 weapons were SS-1, M-16 and AK-47 assault rifles; a mouser rifle; FN-46 pistol; air guns; airsoft guns; and several homemade weapons," Christian said on Friday.

Christian was speaking during a promotion ceremony for 23 soldiers within the Cendrawasih Military Command.

"These lads were promoted because they had succeeded in confiscating OPM weapons. Unfortunately we lost chief Pvt. Sugiarto in the line of duty,” he said.

Besides the Cendrawasih Military Command soldiers, six other soldiers from different divisions were also promoted.

Christian said besides confiscating the rifles, these soldiers had also managed to foil the smuggling attempt of 900 kilograms of ammonium nitrate at the Indonesia-Malaysia borders in Bengkayang regency in West Kalimantan province.

“I hope these achievements won’t slow us down and turn us complacent,” he said.(fss/dic)

The 23 promoted soldiers are from the Army Infantry Battalion (Yonif) 753/AVT, Yonif 754/ENK and Yonif 751/R.
