Singapore Airshow 2018: Indonesia studies options for four AEW&C aircraft

Ridzwan Rahmat, Singapore - Jane's Defence Weekly
07 February 2018

Key Points

• Indonesia has begun studying available options for the air force’s AEW&C requirements
• The formal acquisition programme is expected to materialise in the 2020–2024 timeframe

The Indonesia Air Force (Tentara Nasional Indonesia – Angkatan Udara: TNI-AU) is drawing up a schedule to retire its fleet of ageing Boeing 737-2X9 airframes, and has begun preliminary studies to acquire replacement aircraft for its airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) requirements.

However, unlike TNI-AU’s aerial fleet tanker requirement, no aircraft type has been specified in the preliminary studies, and senior members of the service are currently speaking to potential suppliers at the Singapore Airshow to learn more about options available, Jane’s has learnt from TNI-AU sources present.

The service currently operates a fleet of three Boeing 737-2X9 surveillance aircraft that were commissioned in 1982. The airframes are currently deployed with the TNI-AU’s Skuadron Udara 5 (Air Squadron 5) at the Sultan Hasanuddin air base in Makassar in South Sulawesi, and bear the registration numbers AI-7301, AI-7302, and AI-7303.

The platform has a service ceiling of 50,000 ft and a range of 2,530 n miles. In the early 1990s, the aircraft were each upgraded with identification friend-or-foe (IFF) sensors, a Motorola AN/APS-135 side-looking airborne modular multimission radar (SLAMMR) and a Thomson-CSF Ocean Master radar with low-probability-of-intercept features.

Besides surveillance and intelligence gathering in-country, the airframes have also been deployed for exercises overseas. In 2012, a single 737-2X9 airframe was temporarily stationed at Darwin in northern Australia for Exercise ‘Albatross Ausindo 2012’. It operated alongside an Australian AP-3C for the duration of its deployment.

Singapore Airshow 2018: Nepal begins negotiations for second CN-235 with PT Dirgantara

Ridzwan Rahmat, Singapore - Jane's Defence Weekly
07 February 2018

The Nepalese government has begun negotiations with Indonesian state-owned aircraft manufacturer PT Dirgantara (PTDI) for another CN-235-220M multipurpose platform, an official from the company confirmed with Jane’s at the 2018 iteration of the Singapore Airshow.

The aircraft is being acquired for the Nepalese Army (NA) Air Wing, and like the first airframe ordered in 2017, will probably be deployed primarily for troop and cargo transport, humanitarian supply missions, and medical evacuations, said Ade Yuyu Wahyuna, PTDI’s vice-president of sales.

PTDI secured a contract to supply the first CN-235-220M with Nepal in June 2017. The aircraft type, which is being produced under a long-standing licensing arrangement with Airbus, is currently under construction at the company’s facilities in Bandung.

"....long-standing licensing arrangement with Airbus.."

CN-235 itu cuma under-license dari Airbus atau kita memang punya andil sejak awal desain pesawat ( joint-development ) ? Bingung. Soalnya udah 20 tahunan ini media asing selalu tulis kalo CN235 kita itu cuma under-license dari Airbus.

CN235 is the beginning of TOT, Casa Spain (Now Airbus) teached and trained our Aircraft Industry (was IPTN / now PTDI) to design and make an aircraft, it looks like joint development.

C-295i is an under license from Airbus.

The CN-235 is a joint developnent between CASA & IPTN.

"The CASA/IPTN CN-235 is a medium-range twin-engined transport aircraft that was jointly developed by Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA (CASA) of Spain and Indonesian manufacturer IPTN, as a regional airliner and military transport.

The project was a joint venture between Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA (CASA) and Indonesian Aerospace (PT. Dirgantara Indonesia), formerly known as IPTN, which formed Airtech International to manage the programme. The partnership applied only to the Series 10 and Series 100/110, with later versions being developed independently."

The C-295 is the aircraft that is under-licensed from Airbus.

What’s in the New Australia-Indonesia Military Pact?
The two sides inked a new version of their defense cooperation agreement last week.

By Prashanth Parameswaran - February 07, 2018

Last week, as expected, Indonesia and Australia finally inked a new defense cooperation agreement following the expiry of a previous one last year. The signing of the pact, which is one of several that underpin the current shape of bilateral defense ties, put the focus on the developing security relationship between two significant and capable actors in the Indo-Pacific region.

As I have noted previously, Indonesia and Australia, two neighboring, significant, and highly-capable actors in the Indo-Pacific, have had a turbulent relationship historically speaking but have also made some inroads in recent years in their defense ties in spite of occasional tensions and crises, with the latest being last year when military cooperation was suspended temporarily for technical reasons (See: “Old Shadows in New Australia-Indonesia Military Spat”).

Indonesia-Australia security ties have been underpinned most recently by the Lombok Treaty, which established a framework to govern security ties in 2006, as well as supporting mechanisms inked since then including a two-plus-two dialogue between their foreign and defense ministers as well as a defense cooperation agreement (DCA) inked in 2012. The initial DCA was inked between the two defense ministries on September 5, 2012, and had expired on September 5, 2017.

On February 1, Australian Defense Minister Marise Payne and Indonesian Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu inked a new DCA. The signing occurred on the sidelines of a new subregional defense meeting around counterterrorism that Australia had convened in Perth which saw six Southeast Asian countries attend: Indonesia along with Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand (See: “What’s Next for the New ASEAN-Australia Defense Meeting?”).

Unsurprisingly, few specifics were publicly unveiled about the content of the agreement itself. In a short statement, Australia’s defense ministry said that the pact reaffirmed the strength of a longstanding relationship, the intent to deepen engagement in future decades, and the continued belief in the foundations of bilateral defense ties including mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity underpinned by the Lombok Treaty.

Apart from signing the new DCA, the two defense ministers also held a meeting where they discussed various security issues of mutual interest. Indonesia’s defense ministry said that this included general issues such as North Korea, the South China Sea, and the Rohingya crisis, as well as more specific developments such as progress on trilateral patrols in the Sulu-Sulawesi Seas and counterterrorism intelligence cooperation with the “Our Eyes” initiative which Indonesia has been strongly supporting (See: “ASEAN Launches New ‘Our Eyes’ Initiative”).

400 HP engine on a 8 ton vehicle is an overkill... I hope they slap more armor to this beast making it a 20 ton MRAP. Modular armor would be nice.

State-owned aircraft company PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PT DI) has signed an agreement with the Aceh provincial administration to establish an assembly line for its N219 planes in the province.

The agreement was signed by PT DI president director Elfien Goentoro and Aceh Governor Irwandi Yusuf, as witnessed by State-Owned Enterprises Minister Rini Soemarno, in Singapore on Wednesday.

They were in Singapore to attend the opening of the 2018 Singapore Airshow, which involved PT DI and national flag carrier Garuda Indonesia.

The event was also attended by Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu and Transportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadi.

Rini expressed appreciation toward the Aceh government, which had committed to safeguarding its maritime territory by equipping security officers with airplanes purchased from PT DI.

“I fully support the plan of Governor Irwandi Yusuf to purchase the planes to strengthen the province’s effort to prevent illegal fishing and the entry of narcotics,” Rini said in a written statement issued by the Aceh provincial administration.

Meanwhile, Aceh governor special staff member Hendri Yuzal said apart from establishing an assembly line for N219 planes, PT DI would also cooperate with the Aceh administration in the development of human resources, particularly to provide local people with skills so that they would have role in the assembly line.

“We thank God that a prominent state-owned enterprise like PT DI wants to open an assembly line in Aceh,” Hendri said in the statement. (bbn)

State aircraft manufacturer PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) has signed a framework agreement on the sideline of the Singapore Airshow 2018 to build 75 units of its N219 Nurtanio aircraft for three national aviation companies.

PTDI corporate secretary Ade Yuyu Wahyuna said in a written statement on Wednesday that the Aceh provincial administration, PT Pelita Service and PT Trigana Air Service had respectively ordered 50, 20 and five Nurtanio airplanes.

“Under the agreement, the operation and maintenance of the N-219 Nurtanio airplanes will be carried out by PT Pelita Service,” said Ade in the statement, adding that the North Kalimantan administration planned to sign a similar agreement on Thursday.

The N-219 Nurtanio airplane is a 19-seat, twin turboprop airplane that was designed and developed by PTDI in cooperation with the National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN).

The plane was developed to meet air transportation needs for remote areas of the country, and can provide passenger, cargo and air ambulance services.

The Nurtanio is expected to complete its 300th test flight this year, with a maximum flight time of 17 hours as of Feb. 2. (bbn)
