Protecting the vast waters of Indonesia
Kresno Buntoro, Lecturer at Indonesia Defense University, Jakarta | Review and Outlook | Thu, September 18 2014, 2:56 PM
The new government has to design a national system of sea-lanes that links domestic and international routes
From 2012 to mid-2014, reports showed piracy and robbery at sea in Southeast Asia were fluctuating, which is alarming.
Data from the International Maritime Bureau (IMB) and the Regional Cooperation Agreement on Combating Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in Asia (ReCAAP) indicated that these incidents took place mostly in Indonesian waters and the Strait of Malacca and Singapore.
Securing the sea-lanes of communication will be paramount in terms of world economic activity. Littoral states around these straits have taken additional action to improve security, but questions remain as to who is supposed to secure these straits apart from Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, or in other straits used for international seaborne trade. There are also questions regarding the real motives behind these incidents and what initiatives have been launched to tackle the crimes.
Every year many ships pass through Indonesian waters carrying cargo ranging from crude oil to finished products from all over the world.
Indonesian waters contain critical sea-lanes of communication for seaborne trade, naval movement and other maritime interests.
Indonesian waters have at least six choke points, comprising the Strait of Malacca, the Singapore Strait, the Sunda Strait, the Lombok Strait, the Ombai Strait and the Wetar Strait; all used for international navigation.
While Indonesia has strategic interests in commerce, peace, stability and security in the region, it must also address potentially negative effects associated with international navigation, such as marine pollution, the degradation of marine resources and maritime criminal activities.
Indonesian waters have become the focus of strategic attention by user states due to a number of factors, including economic, military and oil or energy concerns. These factors are interrelated and exert distinct dynamic impacts and outcomes for all concerned states. On the other hand, Indonesia has to take the necessary steps to tackle the negative effects of seaborne trade within its waters.
Indonesia has many obligations pertaining to navigation, such as providing sea-lanes for ships passing through their waters and guaranteeing security and safety. Indonesia needs to ensure that these sea-lanes are navigable, safe, secure and do not endanger the marine environment.
To ensure navigation safety, protection and the preservation of the marine environment, Indonesia needs to establish supporting technology such as satellites. Our navigational system should be sufficient to cover the entire area of sea-lane communications and should be accessible to ships.
Substantial financial resources are required for the acquisition and maintenance of such equipment considering the considerable spatial extent of its waters.
It is difficult for Indonesia to bear all these financial costs on its own. Under international law, Indonesia does not have the right to impose levies on foreign ships exercising passage rights in Indonesian waters with a view to defraying these substantial costs.
The government has made substantial and sustained efforts to maintain the safety and security of its sea lanes of communication by updating paper and electronic charts, installing navigational aids, broadcasting maritime hazards and weather forecasts and patrolling certain areas.
In response to suspected criminal incidents, the authorities deploy warships as the incident is broadcast, but by the time the warships arrive, the reported ships have disappeared. Prosecution is thus difficult and criminal activities persist with alarming frequency.
Further, it must be defined clearly what constitutes robbery, piracy and other criminal activities. Piracy is well defined in international law and some domestic laws of certain countries, but robbery at sea and definitions of petty theft, for example, are vague. In Indonesia’s experience, many incidents reported include indications of motives to secure insurance entitlement.
With respect to economic and security matters, Indonesia’s needs and interests are similar to other user states or ships — that sea-lanes of communication should be safe and secure and should not potentially damage the environment.
However, Indonesia’s interest is deeper since it would assume responsibility in the event that a suspected crime occurred in the choke points or straits. Further, considering the proximity of the choke points to Java, the most populous island and the center of the country’s economic, political and government activities, Indonesia’s interest in these choke points can be considered fundamental to its national interests.
Over the last few years the significant increase in the amount of energy (oil, gas, and coal) and goods being transported through the straits or choke points has brought greater pressure on coastal states to invest in sophisticated and expensive navigational equipment to ensure the safety and security of passing ships.
The dangers of such passages are associated with the high volume of maritime traffic and in particular the transport of dangerous and hazardous cargo. Moreover, the value of the cargo will always attract criminals.
The issue is whether coastal states or archipelagic states like Indonesia have to bear this burden on their own or whether they can share this burden with other user states.
Japan and the US, for instance, have made some efforts to secure the Malacca and Singapore straits and also other sea-lanes, but user states need to offer additional initiatives and assistance for the mutual need of the straits’ security.
On the basis of equity as well as sound economics, since states derive significant benefits from their use of the straits or choke points, it seems fair that user states, maritime powers or ships that benefit from the use of the Indonesian straits and choke points should share the burden of improving the safety of these straits or choke points. Criminal activities need to be defined clearly, as there are many motives that can be traced to the root causes of the activities. Broadcasting the incident without clearly posting the location of a suspected crime at sea will not help in tackling the issues. Motives of the criminals always vary and it happens by design.
Considering that the new government has pledged to focus more on maritime issues, it should be noted that Indonesia has dedicated its sea-lanes of communication as archipelagic sea-lanes in exchange for UN recognition of the archipelagic concept of Indonesia. The country has therefore allocated three north-south sea-lanes that foreign ships can pass through.
The ocean “toll road” that president-elect Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has campaigned for, which would connect one port to another within the Indonesian archipelago, should be connected to the three existing international sea lanes. This connectivity will guarantee not only fast, but also the safe and secure flow of goods and services.
Further, the new government has to design a national system of sea-lanes that links domestic and international routes.
Under such a system, Indonesia must decide which domestic ports are opened and connected to international routes, because inter-insular trade within the archipelago needs protection from free competition.
Of course, this new connectivity of commercial routes will also attract criminal activities, which is why Indonesia has to enhance its maritime security system.

hmmm i think my wish partially became true
Military prepares Hellfire missile foreign sales
September 18, 2014
By John Keller
Editor
REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala., 18 Sept. 2014. U.S. Army anti-armor missile experts are ordering more than a thousand U.S.-made Hellfire II tactical missiles for the governments of Iraq, Jordan, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
Officials of the Army Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal, Ala., announced a $68.7 million contract this week to Hellfire Systems LLC in Orlando, Fla., to produce 1,361 Hellfire II missile models AGM-114R, AGM-114R-3, AGM-114P-4A, TGM M36E7, and ATM-114Q-6.
These missiles will be involved in U.S. foreign military sales to Iraq, Jordan, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The AGM-114R is the latest version of the Hellfire II missile. The others involved in this sale are earlier, less-capable models.
Hellfire System is a venture of the Lockheed Martin Corp. Missiles and Fire Control segment in Orlando, Fla. At one time it involved the Boeing Defense, Space & Security segment in St. Louis, but Boeing has not been involved in Hellfire missile development and production for several years, Lockheed Martin officials say.
The AGM-114R is the latest Hellfire variant, and is equipped with semi–active laser seekers to defeat many kinds of targets. The AGM-114R can be launched from several different kinds of fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, surface ships, and military ground vehicles.
Hellfires also are the missile of choice for several kinds of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) such as the MQ-1B Predator, MQ-9 Reaper, and MQ-1C Grey Eagle. Eventually these missiles may arm U.S. military unmanned helicopters.
The AGM-114R Hellfire II Romeo RX missile will use a semi-active laser guidance system and an integrated blast fragmentation sleeve warhead to engage targets that previously needed several Hellfire variants to destroy.
These missiles can seek out their targets autonomously or with designation from remote laser designators. The missile has a three–axis inertial measurement unit to enable it to attack targets from the side and behind.
The AGM-114R can be launched from higher altitudes than previous variants because of its enhanced guidance and navigation capabilities. With its multi–purpose warhead, the missile can destroy hard, soft, and enclosed targets.
Originally developed as an anti-tank missile for the Army's AH-64 Apache attack helicopter, the Hellfire missile has become one of the most versatile munitions in the U.S. arsenal. It can launch from fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, UAVs, surface vessels, and land-based sites.
The AGM-114R will be guided by homing in on the reflected light of a laser designator. Other versions of the Hellfire are radar-guided fire-and-forget weapons. The Hellfire missile weighs 106 pounds, and has high-explosive variants designed to destroy tanks and other armored vehicles, and blast fragmentation versions designed to destroy trucks, antenna sites, concentrations of enemy troops, and other soft targets.
Development of the AGM-114R Hellfire missile became necessary after the Pentagon cancelled the Joint Common Missile (JCM) project, which was to replace Hellfire, as well as the AGM-65 Maverick air-to-ground missile.
On this contract Hellfire Systems LLC will do the work at the Lockheed Martin Corp. Missiles and Fire Control segment in Orlando, Fla., and should be finished by November 2016.

After Eurofighter Typhoon come with "Very interesting offer" for Indonesia includes :
- Transfer of technology to Indonesian aerospace PT. DI to assemble, modification and learn about typhoon technology.
- No difference between British version and Export version
- Allow the Indonesian engineer to learn the Eurofighter engines and EASA radar to applicate in KFX/IFX programme.
Now SAAB Gripen entering the competition with latest offer
Saab offers "100% technology transfer" in bid to secure TNI Gripen deal
Jon Grevatt, Bangkok - IHS Jane's Defence Industry
17 September 2014
Saab is offering "100% technology transfer" in its bid to supply the Indonesian Air Force (Tentara Nasional Indonesia Angkatan Udara - TNI-AU) with its JAS 39 Gripen combat aircraft, a company executive has told IHS Jane's .
The TNI-AU is understood to be considering the Gripen along with other fighter aircraft, including the Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet and the Sukhoi Su-35, to replace its ageing Northrop F-5E Tiger II fleet before the end of the decade.
The programme will procure 16 aircraft and is projected to be valued at more than USD1 billion.
Speaking to IHS Jane's on 15 September, Kaj Rosander, head of marketing and sales in Saab Asia Pacific, said the company had a "number of discussions" with the TNI-AU and the Indonesian government in which Saab had "shared the capabilities" of the Gripen E, the single-seat derivative of the two-seat JAS 39 Gripen NG.

PT DI Kembali Produksi CN-235 Pesanan Kemenhan
Today 22:10
TNI AU membutuhkan tiga pesawat CN-235MPA untuk membentuk skuadron baru pesawat intai taktis. Spesifikasi pesawat intai TNI AU berbeda dengan milik TNI AL (photos : IAe, Alert5)
SURYA Online, SURABAYA - Penyerahan pesawat udara CN 235 ke Puspenerbal yang berlangsung hari ini di Apron Base Opps Lanudal Juanda, Selasa (17/9/2014), menjadi pelunasan PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PT DI) dari pesanan Kementerian Pertahanan RI.
PT DI tuntas menyelesaikan pembuatan dan menyerahkan tiga CN 235 220 Patroli Maritim (Patmar) yang digunakan penunjang kinerja TNI AL
Direktur PT DI Budi Santoso mengatakan, pemesanan pesawat udara oleh Kementerian Pertahanan ini jadi titik awalkontrak kedirgantaraan dalam jumlah besar. Setelah pemenuhan pesanan tahap ini, PT DI kini telah memiliki kotrak untuk menyelesaikan tiga pesawat udara CN 235 lagi oleh Kementerian Pertahanan (Kemenhan).
“Ada pesanan lagi, satu untuk TNI AU dan dua untuk TNI AL, ini dari kontrak baru, cuman yang satu belum efektif berjalan,” ungkap Budi usai acara penyerahan CN 235 ke Puspenerbal.
Secara teknis Budi menyebut pesawat CN 235 secara keseluruhan telah memenuhi kebutuhan dan teknologi yang digunakan juga sudah terbaik. Kalaupun ada pengembangan lagi bisa dilakukan di mission systemnya saja.
“Pesawatnya sudah cukup cangih, wing juga desain baru, cuman untuk pesanan berikutnya yang kini dikerjakan kemungkinan bisa memiliki kemampuan terbang 11-12 jam, sementara mission systemnya disesuaikan dengan permintaan penggunannya,” kata Budi.

Surya Online, SURABAYA - The acceptance of CN 235 aircraft to Puspenerbal, which took place today at Apron Base Ops Lanudal Juanda, Tuesday (09/17/2014).
PT DI complete and submit complete construction of three CN 235 220 Maritime Patrol (Patmar) which is used to support the performance of the Navy
Director Budi Santoso said, by ordering aircraft the Ministry of Defence will become the starting point for our company into further contracts in much larger numbers. After this phase of order fulfillment, PT DI now have to finish the contract about three more CN-235 aircraft once again they have been ordered by the Ministry of Defence (Ministry of Defense).
"There is another order, one for the Air Force and two for the Navy, this new contract, and one of them doesn't active right now," said Budi after handover of CN 235 MPA to Indonesian Navy Aviation Corps.
Technically according to Budi, CN 235 is an aircraft which has met the needs and the technology we are using has also been the best. If anything else can be done in the development of systems in any mission.
"The plane had enough capability, wing design is also new, but for the next order which is now has been done could possibly they will have the ability to fly 11-12 hours, while tailored to the mission systems along with consumer demand," said Budi.

Rheinmetall Denel Munition and PT Pindad of Indonesia Sign Teaming Agreement at AAD 2014
18 September 2014
Pretoria, September 19th, 2014 - South African-based Rheinmetall Denel Munition (RDM) and state-owned Indonesian PT Pindad today strengthened their partnership with the signing of a teaming agreement at the African Aerospace and Defence Show (AAD 2014).
This follows the signing earlier this year of a non-disclosure agreement and Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two parties.
Mr Norbert Schulze, CEO of Rheinmetall Denel Munition, says the teaming agreement will enable further co-operation between the two companies and encompasses several product groups as well as training requirements. The two companies will in the months to come establish working groups to find ways to develop and manufacture products for users in the region.
“’This is also the first step in Rheinmetall’s strategy to create a manufacturing hub for South East Asia in Indonesia,” Schulze said at the signing ceremony.
Mr Sudirman Said, CEO of PT Pindad says the new agreement builds on existing shared synergies – both companies are national strategic manufacturers of large calibre ammunition in their respective countries. They also possess key technologies and products that can be delivered to the Indonesian defence force and surrounding countries.
“We are looking forward to entering into a long-term relationship which will be of benefit to both companies and to our respective countries,” he added.

How much is Indonesia paying for the CN-235 MPA version? How does it compare with the C-295 MPA / ASW version?

C-295 MPA/ASW version is not yet to be certificated so there is no sample in the market right now.....that's as far as i know
CN-235 220 MPA/ASW prices is varying, depend on how many console suit system you want to install in them and how much sensors and what kind type of sensors you put into them. Indonesia version cost around 35 to more 40 million US dollar per plane. At least we can install exocet missile carrying plane suit system if you want to put them into anti-shipping roles and Mk 46 torpies and Mad tails boom with capabilities to dropping sonobuouys if you want to put them into ASW roles.
