BAE Systems Bofors (Hall A, Stand AP301) of Sweden and Banyuwangibased PT Lundin (Hall D, Stand 025) have signed an industrial cooperation agreement that paves the way for PT Lundin to establish a service and support hub in Indonesia for Bofors naval guns.

Signed during a ceremony at Indo Defence on 6 November, the accord also opens the way for PT Lundin to manufacture composite subsystems and components for Bofors guns, and potentially support new sales into Indonesia. The Indonesian Navy currently has an inventory of 79 guns supplied by Bofors. These include the 57mm Mk 1, the 57mm Mk 2 and a number of 40mm/L70 mountings.

The start point for the industrial agreement with PT Lundin is the establishment of a facility enabling PT Lundin to support the Indonesian Navy’s installed base of Bofors guns. Beyond this, opportunities are being explored whereby BAE Systems Bofors would leverage PT Lundin’s composite manufacture expertise for its products.

“We have visited PT Lundin’s facility in Banyuwangi and were very impressed by the capability in composite design and production,” said Lena Gillström, president of BAE Systems Bofors AB. “Our intention is to have components and subsystems made in composite to be delivered for our naval guns, with the cupola being the obvious example.”

Speaking at the signing ceremony John Lundin, managing director of PT Lundin, said: “This joint cooperation will enable us to service Bofors guns, make components for the global market and potentially also supply new guns to the navy.”

“We are pleased to receive this first EC725 from Airbus Helicopters, which will allow us to complete it in the CSAR version to be handed over to the Indonesian Air Force,” said PTDI President Budi Santoso. “We will continue to work closely with Airbus Helicopters to ensure the on-time delivery of the remaining units, as we anticipate an additional order from the Air Force for 10 more EC725s to complete its squadron of 16 helicopters.”

When deployed by the Indonesian Air Force, the EC725 fleet will significantly enhance the military service’s CSAR capabilities, benefitting from the proven performance and durability of Airbus Helicopters’ latest member in its Super Puma helicopter family.

The mission equipment integration and completion of these six EC725 will mark a new step in Airbus Helicopters’ well-established cooperation with PTDI, which includes a strategic industrial agreement and the Indonesian company’s role in Airbus Helicopters’ global supply chain.

The Indonesian Air Force has been a long-time operator of both the AS332 Super Puma and SA330 Puma rotorcraft, which were license-produced by PTDI since over 30 years ago. The partnership between PTDI and Airbus Helicopters has continued to grow, resulting in PTDI becoming a key supplier of tail booms and airframe assemblies of the EC225 and EC725 since 2008.

“Airbus Helicopters’ cooperation with PT Dirgantara Indonesia is exemplary,” said Philippe Monteux, Head of Region South East Asia & Pacific at Airbus Helicopters. “Our delivery of the first EC725, with significant parts being first built by PTDI, underscores how our partnership continues to evolve, meeting Indonesia’s helicopter needs and further contributing to the progress of its aerospace sector.”

At IndoDefence 2014 Rheinmetall shows Wiesel 2 120mm tracked airborne armoured mortar carrier.
At Indo Defence 2014 Rheinmetall is showing the Wiesel 2 tracked airborne armoured 120 mm mortar carrier. Equipped with a sophisticated recoil system, Rheinmetall’s extremely accurate 120mm mortar system is specially optimized for small vehicles.

Rheinmetall Wiesel 2 tracked airborne armoured vehicle mortar carrier at at IndoDefence 2014 Tri-service defence exhibition in Jakarta, Indonesia.


Sensors monitor the barrel temperature, fire position and the volumetric efficiency of the barrel brakes, indicating the functional readiness and operational status of the weapon. Systematic FE analysis, lightweight design and high-strength materials have produced a mortar system weighing just 310kg. The increased wall strength in high-stress zones of the tube and the use of high-strength materials enable a maximum range of 8km with the mortar’s specially developed rounds.

In order to operate in difficult terrain – in the mountains, for example, in the jungle, on coastal terrain or in an urban environment – today’s armed forces need a flexible, quickly deployable, protected platform that can be readily integrated into network-enabled operations and which, above all, can be transported by air either on board or as underslung cargo. It was precisely with these capabilities in mind that Rheinmetall developed the Wiesel (‘weasel’) family of vehicles, which the company is presenting at Indo Defence 2014.

Today the Wiesel 2 family covers practically the full range of military ground capabilities, encompassing a reconnaissance vehicle, a command post version, an antitank missile launcher platform, an automatic cannon platform, an engineering scout vehicle and a field ambulance version. Other variants include joint fire support team and joint fire support coordination team vehicles and a 120mm mortar carrier; a Wiesel-based mobile air defence system consisting of an air defence command post vehicle, an air defence reconnaissance and fire control vehicle, and an air defence weapon carrier round out the portfolio.

Kamis, 6 November 2014 22:32 WIB | 640 Views

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The Indonesian Military (TNI) Commander General Moeldoko has said his institution was prioritizing local military weapons through a transfer-of-technology system to improve national defense competency.

"We cannot ignore the local products of our national defense system because they are our priority. We cannot overlook high technology either. Thus, we need a transfer of technology," Moeldoko stated during his visit to the Indo Defense Expo and Forum 2014 here on Thursday.

According to the General, the weapons that are utilized by Indonesian soldiers have high prices. Hence, the Indonesian Military should follow up the latest advances in technology so as not to fall behind other countries.

"The TNI weapons are not cheap. However, we need to follow the latest technologies to balance power and attain the strength to face other countries," Moeldoko remarked.

The Indo Defense Expo and Forum 2014 is being held in JIExpo, Jakarta, from November 5 to 8, 2014.

"This is an annual event that maintains good quality. Indonesian soldiers can update themselves on the developments in the defense technology industry. Civilians can also understand that military weapons are expensive," Moeldoko pointed out.

Moeldoko was accompanied by Chief of the TNI Information Center Mayor General Fuad Basya. They stopped by several stalls and discussed the capacity of weapons.(*)

Batam Marine Battalion
officially ready

Fadli, The Jakarta Post, Batam | Archipelago | Tue, November 04 2014, 7:49 PM

Archipelago News
The marine’s 10th infantry battalion on Setokok Island, Batam, became fully operational on Tuesday after being introduced by former president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in October and after concerns of possible complaints by the Singaporean government.

Battalion commander Lt. Col. Kresno Pratowo told The Jakarta Post on Tuesday that the battalion comprised 700 soldiers and was equipped with amphibious tanks and rocket launchers.

“The battalion was inaugurated by former president Yudhoyono at the military academy in Magelang, Central Java, without the presence of the media. It will also be directly inaugurated by Navy chief Adm. Marsetio on Nov. 10,” Kresno said.

Battalion personnel and heavy equipment landed at Batam’s Batu Ampar Port on Tuesday morning and headed to the marine base on Setokok Island, 20 kilometers away. The battalion is considered a composite battalion, and its main duty is to secure the Strait of Malacca and the Singapore Strait against piracy and threats to maritime security.

The inauguration of the battalion’s headquarters on Setokok was initially planned to coincide with the opening of the Multilateral Naval Exercise Komodo (MNEK) in March but was postponed. The base was ready for occupation a year ago with the intention to strengthen border security in the area, where there is a high potential for conflict.

The battalion is in line with the Navy’s strategic plan to have three major armadas by 2024 in three national regions, namely a Western Armada, Central Armada and Eastern Armada, as well as a battalion on the Natuna Islands. (dyl/dic)(+++)

Russian-modular-SAM-targets-export-market---Indo14-Day3.jpg

Russia’s Almaz-Antey Air Defence Concern Joint Stock Company (JSC) (Hall A, Stand 150) is marketing its Tor surface-to-air missile (SAM) in three configurations – tracked, wheeled and modular – to meet different user operational requirements. All three configurations use many of the same components and the 9M331 vertically launched SAM.

A scale model of the modular version is being shown Indo Defence because this could meet regional requirements for a highly effective SAM system to defend high-value targets such as airfields, command centers and critical industrial areas.

The modular version of the latest Tor-M2KM consists of the autonomous combat module 9A331MK-1, on which is installed two surface-to-air missile modules, each with four 9M331 missiles in the ready-to-launch position.

The autonomous combat module is fully enclosed, air conditioned and operated by a crew of two. It includes the target acquisition and tracking radars, missile guidance radars, test and control systems and associated power supply system.

The system weighs 15 tonnes and can be transported on a semi-trailer and then offloaded using a crane. It can also be transported slung under heavy lift helicopters, which enables the system to be rapidly deployed to where it is needed.

The target acquisition radar has a range of 32km and can process up to 48 targets simultaneously and engage four of these targets at once.

According to the prime contractor, the system can successfully engage targets with a maximum speed of up to 700m/s and at a range of up to 15km to an altitude of 10km.

Provision is made to enable the system to exchange information with other Tor-M2KM systems.

Once the missiles have been launched, new pods of four missiles can be loaded using the transporter loader, designated 9T244K, which has a hydraulic crane. Reload is carried out in 18 minutes.

A number of these modules can be controlled by a battery command post, which can be connected to other higher air defence systems to provide a complete layered capability against a wide range of long-, medium- and short-range threats.

Almaz-Antey Air Defence can supply a complete training package, as well as a mobile electric power station to enable the system to run for extended periods.

President prioritizes development of indigenous weaponry systems
Jumat, 7 November 2014 21:58 WIB | 531 Views

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The Indonesian government will prioritize the development of indigenous weaponry systems through the transfer of technology agreements with other countries, stated President Joko Widodo.

"We need transfer of technology to develop military weaponry systems. It will be better for Indonesia when we can have independent main weaponry systems made by indigenous companies," the president noted here after visiting the Indo Defence Expo and Forum 2014 here on Friday.

According to Jokowi, the transfer of technology will not only help to improve Indonesias weapon industry but also increase the weapon production capacity of the country.

The president remarked that development of the main weaponry systems depends on the state budget.

"Indonesia can increase the defense budget to 3 times the previously allocated amount if we can achieve an economic growth of above 7 percent," Joko Widodo claimed.

Additionally, Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu stated that the main focus of Indonesia is to defend its maritime sector and territory.

"The main priority of our defense is to secure and defend our maritime territory. We must secure the marine transportation lines," Ryamizard emphasized.

The minister emphasized that Joko Widodos government will use a major part of the defense budget for improving its maritime defense capabilities.

The Indonesian government will increase military spending to 1.5 percent of the state budget. Earlier, the government had allocated a defense budget of Rp83 trillion or 0.8 percent of the state budget.(*)

Instalaza showcases its VN38-C night vision device for C90 family at IndoDefence 2014
At IndoDefence 2014 in Jakarta, Indonesia, Spanish company Instalaza, became famous famous for its highly accurate rocket launchers, is showcasing a night vision device specially destinated to C90-CR (M3) RPG family. The VN38-C night vision device has been designed by Instalaza S.A. to provide the family of C90 systems with day and night operational capability, which is a basic requirement from all modern armies nowadays.

Instalaza_showcases_its_VN38-C_night_vision_device_for_C90_family_at_IndoDefence_2014_640_001.jpg
Instalaza VN38-C night vision device mounted on C90-CR (M3) 90 mm shoulder-fired grenade launcher (RPG)

The VN38-C is placed on the front of the optical viewfinder of the C90 system in an adapter device. Turning on the switch is the only action needed to start functioning. The VN38-C and the adapter device have been designed and built in such a way that the bore sighting, stadimetry and lateral prediction of the C90 system's optical viewfinder are not modified.

The M3 series of the C90 family of weapon systems comes with the adapter device already mounted. A similar element can be fitted very easily on the optical viewfinder of the previous versions of the C90 system, using an Instalaza-supplied template.

The aiming process of the C90 systems is not altered because of the VN38-C. Aiming is done by using the optical viewfinder of the C90 system. Thus, no addional instruction about aiming is necessary and the same VN38-C can be used without any modification with any of the members of the C90 family. The VN38-C can be used separately as a night observation device. For this the collimator and the eyepiece are interchanged in their respective housings. The eyepiece provides a 3.3x magnification and the collimator is then used simply as a handle. The VN38-C is a passive instrument with a very low energy requirement. It can be used for many hours with the power supplied by two AAA type commercial batteries.

JAKARTA — Indonesia is looking to increase its defence spending to 1.5 per cent of the government budget, almost double the current level, Defence Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu has said.

Mr Ryamizard said the 83 trillion rupiah (S$8.5 billion) allotted this year, although an increase from figures appropriated in previous years, represented only 0.8 per cent of the total state budget. He said that was not enough to secure the entirety of the vast archipelago.

“Jokowi is consistent about modernising weaponry and military equipment by increasing the budget portion to 1.5 per cent, in line with his platform,” the minister said on Thursday, referring to President Joko Widodo by his nickname.

The budget rise, Mr Ryamizard added, should be used not only to revamp weaponry and military equipment, but additionally to improve the welfare of soldiers and police officers.

He said a portion of the budget should also be used to encourage the growth of the local defence industry. Indonesia has been eyeing development of its own defence industry to reduce its reliance on imported weaponry and technology. “Modernisation and development of (Indonesia’s) defence industry must encourage the use of local materials,” Mr Ryamizard added.

After 15 years of little expansion in weaponry and military equipment, former President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono launched the weaponry and military equipment revitalisation programme in 2010, including upgrading ageing equipment and beefing up the armoury to meet what is considered Indonesia’s minimum essential force.

A total of 150 trillion rupiah outside the regular defence spending was allocated to support implementing the programme slated to end this year.

Indonesia has inked a deal to purchase 164 combat vehicles from Germany, expected to be delivered by 2016. The country has also partnered South Korea to build three submarines. Most recently, it placed an order for 11 Eurocopter AS565 Panther helicopters to enhance its anti-submarine warfare capabilities, all as part of the military equipment upgrade.

The head of Indonesia’s armed forces General Moeldoko last month said the country now met 38 per cent of its minimum essential force, with the aim of reaching 100 per cent by 2019.

Meanwhile, Indonesia’s Navy Chief of Staff, Admiral Marsetio, had said on Wednesday that Indonesia’s maritime defence capacity was far below the minimum needed.

In addition to its two submarines, Indonesia has only four frigates — all to support the country’s maritime defence. Adm Marsetio said the country needed at least 12 submarines and 16 frigates. “It’s not enough, (because) the government has a vision that (Indonesia) must become a large maritime nation and power,” he said at the Indo Defence 2014 expo in Jakarta, as quoted by Viva.co.id.

Latest naval gun prepares to come on board - Indo14-Day3

BAE Systems Bofors’ (Hall A, Stand AP301) latest 40mm Mk 4 naval gun is being displayed as part of a Saab turnkey combat system proposed for PT Lundin’s stealth trimaran fast attack craft.

Private venture development of the 40mm Mk 4 mounting – the latest evolution of the Bofors 40mm L/70 line – began in 2009, with the aim of providing small inshore patrol craft and offshore patrol vessels with a compact, lightweight and affordable multirole weapon system. BAE Systems began land-based firing trials of its 40mm Mk 4 prototype in 2011, and has subsequently undertaken at-sea firing trials on the patrol craft Jägaren. First production orders are expected shortly.

The system has been designed to realise a 40 per cent reduction in weight, volume and price compared with the 40mm Mk 3; BAE Systems believes that this lower price point and reduced installation footprint will open up opportunities in the patrol craft market previously denied to heavier 40mm turrets.

Although evolved from the Mk 3, the new 40mm Mk 4 mounting has been re-engineered so as to bring weight down to less than 2,300kg without ammunition. To achieve this, a new elevating mass (brought across from the Swedish Army’s CV 90 armoured vehicle family) is introduced, electric drives are used in place of hybrid electrohydraulics, the cupola is more compact, and a fully digitised modular system architecture is adopted.

The primary magazine holds 30 rounds. An intermediate magazine holds an additional 70 rounds, giving an on-mount capacity of 100 rounds. Loading of ammunition from the intermediate magazine to the primary magazine is fully automatic, while the intermediate magazine can be reloaded from below deck.

Although the 40mm Mk 4 can fire any 40mm L/70 ammunition, BAE Systems promotes full compatibility with its latest programmable 3P ammunition on the grounds of improved flexibility, optimised effects, and reduced logistics overheads.

3P ammunition can be programmed in any one of six different modes for different target threats: gated proximity for air defence; gated proximity mode with impact priority (air defence large targets); time mode (against small, fast and manoeuvring surface targets and concealed onshore targets); impact mode for engaging surface targets; armour-piercing mode against armoured surface targets; and proximity in the default mode.

The 40mm Mk 4 gun has a maximum range of 12.5km, and a cyclic rate of fire of up to 300 rounds a minute. Rather than being limited to single shot or fully automatic, the operator can now select any firing rate between 30rds/min and 300rds/min.

The 40mm Mk 4 has been baselined by Saab and PT Lundin as the main gun armament for the latter’s 63m stealth fast attack trimaran.

For this particular application, the weapon cupola would be shaped to match the faceted topside structure of the vessel itself, so maintaining the vessel’s low radar signature.
