Indonesia is top showcase [ID14D1]
GÜNTER ENDRES
04 November 2014
With a surfeit of defence-related shows and conferences filling the calendar year, companies have the unenviable task of selecting those which offer the best possibilities for sales and an acceptable return on investment. A recent report by global management consultants McKinsey & Company clearly reached the conclusion that Southeast Asia offers the next growth opportunity in defence.
“Following a sustained period of positive growth,” the report states, “many Southeast Asian countries are building up military capabilities, with an eye toward better protection of their assets, especially the shipping lanes, ports and maritime boundaries that are critical to exports and supply chains. They also seek to defend their territorial integrity in the context of a fast changing security landscape.
“Modernisation and replacement of ageing fleets and equipment is also driving much of this spending growth. In addition, many countries are today focusing on strengthening their local industrial capabilities, in a bid to end their heavy reliance on foreign suppliers for imports and services. The demand for defence materiel and the gap in capabilities present many opportunities for companies, especially those willing to partner and enable local manufacturing and research and development.”
The report continues, “While defence spending for the region is growing, the scale and pace varies significantly from country to country. Indonesia, for instance, has more than doubled its spending in the past five years.”
This trend is reflected by the continuing growth of Indo Defence 2014 Expo & Forum, which has an impressive track record since the first staging of the show in 2004.
The figures for this year speak for themselves. More than 670 companies from 45 countries, 25 of which have their own pavilions, are participating. These include Australia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Brazil, Canada, China, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, the Netherlands, Turkey, Ukraine, the UK and the USA.
A record 18,000+ trade buyers, including 545 overseas delegates, have registered for this event. But these figures alone do not tell the whole story. Around nine of every 10 exhibitors have rated the quality of the previous show as having met or exceeded expectations.
As Southeast Asia’s largest economy, Indonesia is in the forefront in the region in bolstering its capability to protect shipping lanes, ports and maritime boundaries and has sharply increased its defence budget since 2010.
Alongside the exhibition, the defence ministry will hold seminars to discuss opportunities available for co-operation on defence with Indonesian companies, and the local regulations that need to be taken into account for a successful implementation. “We want to promote to the international community all aspects of our defence industries, including the regulations,” said Dr Timbul Siahaan, director general for defence potential, at a press conference before the show.
“The 2012 defence industry law states that Indonesian firms must control at least 51 per cent of a joint defence project, and the other 49 per cent can be in the hands of its foreign counterpart,” he added.
The law is part of Indonesia’s visionary strategy to fulfil its Minimum Essential Force (MEF) objective, designed to provide the country with a strong defence industry by 2024. Since being implemented in 2010 with financial backing of 100 trillion rupiah ($8.25 billion), Indonesia has reached 40 per cent of its MEF this year.
The country plans to buy more than a dozen Russian Sukhoi fighter jets and domestically made, missile-equipped patrol ships, as part of a $15 billion five-year campaign to modernise its military. The budget also includes around $1.5 billion for missiles and helicopter gunships, including 24 more Bell helicopters and 20 Sikorsky Black Hawks. Indonesia is also strengthening its military cooperation with Japan, Spain and Turkey.
Indo Defence 2014 is the perfect showcase to target local requirements and those in the wider Southeast Asia region.

Anoa ready for specialist roles [ID14D1]

The first 6x6 armoured fighting vehicle (AFV) to be designed and manufactured in Indonesia is the Pindad Anoa. The vehicle is being shown at Indo Defence this year in many configurations, including one for the armoured personnel carrier (APC) role (outside Hall A).
Now in service with Indonesia in significant numbers, Anoa features an all-welded steel monocoque hull that is stated to provide ballistic protection to NATO STANAG 4569 Level 3 standard. In the baseline APC configuration, Anoa has a crew of three, consisting of commander, driver and gunner, and carries 10 dismounts.
The commander and driver are seated at the front of the hull, with the powerpack to their immediate rear on the right side and the troop compartment extending to the rear. Anoa is normally fitted with a protected weapon station armed with a 7.62mm or 12.7mm machine gun or a 40mm automatic grenade launcher.
There is normally another roof-mounted machine gun at the rear and two banks of three 66mm electrically operated grenade launchers fitted covering the frontal arc. If required, heavier weapon systems can be fitted, including various turrets armed with medium-calibre cannon.
The powerpack comprises a Renault 320hp turbocharged diesel coupled to a ZF six-speed automatic transmission. This enables a top road speed of 100km/h and a maximum range of 600km.
More specialised versions of the Anoa developed so far by Pindad include ambulance, command, cargo, 81mm mortar-carrier and recovery, with the latter being fitted with a winch and crane for its more specialised role. Some of these variants, for example the ambulance, have a raised roof line to the rear of the engine compartment for increased volume.
The baseline Anoa is not amphibious, but at Indo Defence 2014 an amphibious version is being shown, propelled in the water by two large water jets mounted one either side at the rear.
Standard equipment for the vehicle includes an air-conditioning system, powered steering on the front four wheels and run-flat tyres but, as usual, there are many options, such as winch, fire detection and suppression system and blast-attenuating seats.
Pindad has been offering Anoa on the export market for several years now that it is in quantity production, but so far no sales have been announced.

Roxel (Hall D, Stand D216), the French specialist in solid propulsion systems for rockets and cruise missiles, and Eurenco (Hall D, Stand D211), an expert in chemical synthesis and transformation of energetic molecules, have signed a co-operation agreement with state-owned PT Dahana (Hall D, Stand D061), which offers integrated explosives services.
The purpose of the partnership is to set up a production facility in Subang, which will produce extruded double base (EDB) propellant for rocket motors, and spherical powders for small and medium ammunition. The new plant is to be built and validated within four years.
This project is part of the intergovernmental defence agreement signed between France and Indonesia in 2012.

Russia offers increased collaboration to Indonesia

Russia has extended an offer to Indonesia's newly inaugurated president, Joko Widodo, to expand military and technical co-operation between the two countries.
News agencies in both countries reported that Russia's Minister for Industry and Trade, Denis Manturov, met with Widodo in Jakarta on 21 October, one day after Widodo was inaugurated as president, and that the two discussed opportunities for increasing trade and collaboration in spheres including defence.
Indonesian news agencies quoted Manturov as stating that Russia was "ready to promote and develop" defence industrial co-operation with Indonesia, while Russian information service TASS reported that a potential area of collaboration could be Project 636 Varshavyanka ('Kilo')-class diesel electric submarines.
