What's new

Indonesia Defence Forum

If i may interject. I would also like to say that out of the nations in ASEAN, it is only Indonesia that has the initiative to co-develop its own defense platforms with another great power (South Korea) instead of merely purchasing foreign military inventory. The Indonesian military industry is a developing one and their strides and gains in naval, air and ground is notable as well. In the future i would like to see an Indonesia that builds its weapons platforms. :)

Thanks, but in another sense i thing Singapore has doing it's first with their co-development of several platform like Formidable class, Matador AT missile and Bionix project as an example. It just, Singapore doesn't need to develop their own aircraft as their need for aircraft and fighter is not that great. Meanwhile Indonesia has a great potential need for aircraft, naval vessel and ground platform and yes we following the Singapore and South Korean example on how to developing your defense industries and made them beneficial for your economy instead of burden.

Singapore , in my opinion, is limited due to her inherent lack of strategic depth. She is a tiny city state of only 5 million. Singapore is not even half the size of Jakarta. lol.

Indonesian Navy mulls Chinese 30 mm CIWS fit for corvettes, LPDs

Ridzwan Rahmat, Singapore - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
17 February 2015

The Indonesian Navy (TNI-AL) is exploring the possibility of equipping its Kapitan Pattimura (Parchim I)-class corvettes and Makassar-class landing platform dock (LPD) ships with the Chinese-developed Type 730 close-in weapon system (CIWS), a source close to the TNI-AL informed IHS Jane's on 18 February.

This follows the installation of a Type 730 CIWS turret on a Kapitan Pattimura-class ship, KRI Sultan Thaha Syaifuddin . IHS Jane's understands that state-owned shipyard PT PAL has recently completed installation of the turret and will soon begin integrating a radar sensor into the system before commencing live-firing trials.

" Sultan Thaha Syaifuddin is the first vessel to be used as [a] trial for the Chinese system," said the source, adding that the 14 other ships-in-class will also be likely to receive the weapons if it is deemed suitable.

@cnleio , we had more than 18 vessels to be fitted with this CIWS, tell us more about PLAN experience with them?

@Nihonjin1051 thanks for your explanation
Current PLAN's 22x 054A FFGs, 8x 052C/D DDGs, 2x 052B and 4x 051B/C DDGs installed type730 (official name H/PJ12) CIWS ... after 21 century the 30mm type730 as China main warships' CIWS, it's good enough to improve Navy defense with rates of fire 4,200 rounds per minutes and 3km fire range. Recent two years China developed type1130 CIWS and HHQ-10 RAM to install on new building warships, the new CIWS update to 10,000+ rounds rate per minutes.

Yeah, I am agree on that :azn:

This is the most deathly soldiers in Indonesia, Paspampres ( President Security Forces ) 2. 500 personnel

"The recruits are selected from the best soldiers of each force in all forces, usually they are selected among Indonesian Special Forces soldiers (Kopassus, Paskhas, Kopaska or Denjaka) and Indonesian Marines (Marinir)".

History
The formation date of President Security Forces (Paspampres) is based on the rescue of President Sukarno, Vice President Mohammad Hatta, Prime Minister Sutan Syahrir as well as several ministers and high-ranking officials from Jakarta to Yogyakarta on January 3, 1946. This operation was based on the safety concerns of the President and VP about allied forces intimidation in Jakarta. The rescue operation was conducted using the Special Railway Train. This date was commemorated as Hari Bhakti Paspampres or Paspampres Service Day.

The formation of a formal force dedicated to protect the Indonesian president only came after several assassination attempts on President Sukarno. On June 6, 1962 a special regiment, Resimen Tjakrabirawa, was formed to protect the president and his family. June 6 is also the birthday of President Sukarno. Tjakrabirawa consisted of personnel from the army, navy, air force and police. In 1966, Resimen Tjakrabirawa was dissolved and the job to protect the president was transferred to a military police special task force.

On January 13, 1976, a new organization of presidential protection force was formed with the name Paswalpres (Pasukan Pengawal Presiden), under the command of the Minister of Defence and Security/Commander of the Armed Forces. This force was renamed Paspampres at 1990s.

Structure
The Security Operation team of Paspampres currently consists of three groups: A, B, and C. Groups A and B are responsible for securing President and Vice President respectively.[1] Group C is responsible for securing any visiting foreign Head of State in Indonesia.[1] Today, Paspampres has the strength of about 2,500 personnel. Paspampres is headed by a two-star military general officer, while each of the groups is commanded by a colonel. A 4th group, Group D, was raised in 2014.

Recruitment
Paspampres personnel are recruited and selected from all branches of the Indonesian military.[1] The recruits are selected from the best soldiers of each force in all forces, usually they are selected among Indonesian Special Forces soldiers (Kopassus, Paskhas, Kopaska or Denjaka) and Indonesian Marines (Marinir). Each individual gets rigorous military training (sharp shooting, tactical combat, diving) and at least two martial arts, such as Yong Moodo, Pencak Silat, Mixed Martial Arts, Aikido. All Paspampres members are black belts at least in one of the martial arts, and currently are the second winners in World Yong Moodo Championship after Korea. In sharp shooting, they have to respond very quickly in any situation and able to shoot accurately one shot one kill. Paspampres soldiers must carry out their duties with a high level of vigilance against any possible threat. Mentally they have to be very loyal to the country, even by sacrificing their own life.[2]

Tasks
Currently, the main tasks of Paspamres are:

  1. Provide protection to VVIP and to ensure the safety of the VVIP of any immediate danger.
  2. To secure installations which include security personnel, material, and all facilities used in the VVIP.
  3. To perform emergency rescue to VVIP, in order to protect and save the lives of a VVIP of threats that are likely to occur at any time.
  4. To perform direct security in near distance from all forms of threats to the VVIP while traveling.
  5. To ensure the safety of the food and medically-related materials consumed by VVIP from the dangers that can arise through foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals and other objects.
  6. To hold a special protocol that includes ceremonial musical accompaniment at state ceremonies.

@cnleio: how many seconds of shooting they could last ? 20 or 60s ?
Just wonder because 10,000 per min is so huge.

Lockheed Martin and Indonesia seek to progress radar programme
Jon Grevatt, Bangkok - IHS Jane's Defence Industry
17 February 2015

Lockheed Martin and senior Indonesian defence officials met on 17 February with a view to progress the Indonesian Air Force's (TNI-AU's) requirement to procure ground-based air-surveillance radar systems.

The Indonesian Ministry of Defence (MoD) said representatives of Lockheed Martin met with Defence Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu in Jakarta to "determine the continuation" of the radar requirement, which the MoD is undertaking in co-operation with the TNI-AU and local industry. The MoD said the procurement is being progressed, but did not elaborate.

The MoD added that Lockheed Martin, should it win the contract, is aiming to support the local production of radar systems by transferring technologies to Indonesia as per the terms of the country's Defence Industry Law 2012, which requires all foreign contractors to involve local industry in all major defence programmes.

Armoured vehicles remain a "critical priority" for governments, more R&D investment needed


At this year’s International Armoured Vehicles XV conference, held in January at Twickenham Stadium, UK, the leading edge of armoured vehicle integrators and component manufacturers, high ranking military officials and internationally renowned speakers and authorities gathered for the armoured vehicle community’s most engaging and comprehensive event.

Lt. Gen. (ret.) Sir Gary Coward, the UK’s former Chief of Materiel (Land) and Quartermaster General, opened proceedings by noting that investment in defence research and development, particularly in armoured vehicle capabilities within the context of recent developments in Eastern Europe, should remain a critical priority for governments.

Philip Dunne, Minister for Defence Equipment, Support and Technology, built on this theme in his keynote address, remarking that, “in an age when we face a kaleidoscope of threats...our armed forces will continually be called upon. The imperative to maintain a battle fleet of vehicles is as complicated as ever.”

Dunne also stated that the “defence supply chain in this country is broader and deeper than that of our key European partners combined,” underscoring the robust armoured vehicle sector in the UK despite recent budget cuts and waning contract orders. He recalled the £3.5 billion contract signed in Septemeber for the Scout SV, which is the largest single order for an armoured vehicle in 30 years, and called its digital capabilities “without doubt a game-changer.”

“The Scout programme is proof if any were needed we (the UK) are retaining our armoured vehicle making capability,” said Dunne.

During his keynote he also exclusively announced a £30 million contract with General Dynamics Land Systems Europe for the maintenance and support of the Mastiff and Ridgeback armoured vehicles.

Lt. Gen. Michael Williamson, Principal Military Deputy to the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology, DoD, had a similar message stating that, “we in the United States see armoured vehicles as key to future operations.” He confirmed that the AMPV programme remains the “highest priority” for the Pentagon. While underlining the importance of future armoured capabilities, Williamson was keen to stress the importance of affordability and value for money. He mentioned it many times throughout his presentation. He concluded by saying, “I'm going to say it again because it's really important: Affordability matters.”

One of the other armoured vehicle priorities for the Pentagon is the U.S. Army’s Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV). Col. John Cavedo, JLTV Joint Programme Office Manager, addressed conference to provide an update on the project’s requirements and timeline, saying that “the genius of JLTV is integration.” Cavedo said he expected to receive the three proposals from OEMs - Lockheed Martin, Oshkosh Defense, and AM General - within the next two weeks and that they will down select a sole contractor in July. The Army will acquire 54,599 while the Marine Corps will get 5,500 JLTVs.

During a high level G5 industry panel debate, C-level participants represented some of the prime OEMs in the sector including Nextel Systems, Textron Systems, BAE Systems Hägglunds, Milspray, and Ruag. The panel discussed a range of topics, such as what the current trends are in design and how these will translate in future programmes, the use of hybrid drives and current guidance from Armies and governments on requirements.

Along with high-level political and military keynotes, the conference also invited academic and technical leaders to present their research to better understand what progress is being made in the field and what we can expect in the future. Professor Bryn James, Head of Armour and Protection Science at DSTL, revealed that despite manufacturers and end-users always wanting “unobtainium,” he’s confident that advanced technologies are now being more and more readily available. “We’re no longer asking for the impossible” and that it is "feasible in the next two or three years will see something on electric armour and active protection."

The technologies have been in R&D for many years but could now be nearing operational use. He also stressed the importance of robustness and armour and the need to repair it in-theatre. Morgan Advanced Materials also presented on its recent ballistic advances and IBD Deisenroth Engineering discussed some of its cutting edge research, which included the early-stage development of graphene armour. DSM Dyneema gave a comprehensive outline of its much-admired polyethylene armour and its future plans.

Joseph Gerschutz, Director of Engineering at Milspray Military Technologies gave a fascinating overview of the company’s work on hybrid drive trains and other renewable energy technologies. “In the next five years I expect to see a lot of Army dollars going towards improving environmental issues with drivetrains and overall vehicle performance,” Gerschutz said.

The first day of the conference was drawn to a close by the effortlessly engaging Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, Commanding General of U.S. Army Europe. His presentation was centred around Russia’s “illegal annexation of Crimea” and how it may impact U.S. Army Europe’s contingency plans and equipment requirements in the future. A key priority for Hodges related to the interoperability of communications systems. “The US are never going to do anything by ourselves – we are always going to be part of a coalition, so interoperability of equipment is essential,” said Hodges.

Major General Robert Talbot-Rice, Head of Armoured Vehicle Programmes in the UK, opened day two of the conference, saying that with Scout SV, “the British army is going to be equipped with the most capable medium weight tracked armoured vehicle in the world.” He shared the podium with Kevin Griffin, Scout Programme Manager, General Dynamics UK, who said that the vehicle’s electronic architecture is akin to “magic” and would be “full of ISTAR goodies.”

The French Army’s Brig. Gen. Charles Beaudouin, Director Technical Section, gave a fascinating update on the country’s armoured vehicle projects and recapped on previous acquisitions. He said the “choice of the wheel [with the purchase of Nexter Systems’ VBCI vehicle] has immediately paid off … each drove 2700 km in just 7 days during deployment in Mali. Each VBCI travelled about 8000 km during the conflict.”

The conference heard from esteemed guests from around the world including: Lt. Col. Piotr Kosinski, Senior Specialist Land Forces Inspectorate, Polish Armed Forces General Command; the Peruvian Army’s Brig. Gen. Harold Lucho Avendano, Evaluator Technical Committee (CETO); Col. German Schell O'Kuinghttons of the Chilean Army; Maj. Gen. Payenda Mohammad Nazim, Inspector General, Afghan MoD and Bri.g Gen. Enam Nazar, Commander of the Armoured Mobile Strike Force, Afghan National Army.

Lt. Gen. Coward summarised the themes of the conference as “balance, partnership and affordability, affordability, and affordability. This was particularly noted against the backdrop of “a cooler Eastern Europe” and the critical need for partner nations to maintain robust and effective armoured vehicle capabilities.

The next conference in the armoured vehicle event portfolio is the Armoured Vehicles Asia conference, taking place in Jakarta, Indonesia (28-29 April 2015). To find out more download the agenda below.

Military to create joint
force in western Indonesia

Nani Afrida, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | National | Fri, February 20 2015, 7:21 AM

National News
The Indonesian Military (TNI) said it would focus its operations in the western part of the country, especially in Sumatra and Kalimantan, to deal with foreign threats.

The TNI said such efforts would be directed by a joint command known as Kogabwilhan.

“In the future, we expect that the South China Sea will be a flash point. So, a task force, such as the Kogabwilhan, will be very important,” Indonesian Military Chief Gen. Moeldoko said at the military headquarters in Cilangkap, West Jakarta, on Wednesday.

Kogabwilhan aims to pool the regional resources of the Army, the Navy and the Air Force into multi-service groups that will be positioned at certain defense flash points integral to preserving the country’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.

The operational areas will be divided into three parts, western, eastern and central.

Military expert and researcher in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) Iis Gindarsah said it made sense for the TNI to prioritize Sumatra and Kalimantan.

“Most immediate flashpoints are located near the land and sea borders of Sumatra and Kalimantan,” Iis said.

Besides prioritizing Sumatra and Kalimantan, Moeldoko said Kogabwilhan was part of an effort to rearranging of the whole organization of the military in order to improve its operation.

The TNI is expected to set up a new operation command for the Air Force and a new division of the Army Strategic Reserves Command (Kostrad) under Kogabwilhan.

Moeldoko said President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo had been briefed on the plan, since it would involve transferring resources from local military commands, Air Force operation commands and the Navy to the new Kogabwilhan joint command.

“He has been informed about it and is considering when to make it official. We will just wait for a response from the government,” Gen. Moeldoko said.

Last week, Defense Ministry spokesperson Brig. Gen. Djundan Eko Bintoro confirmed that the Defense Ministry drafted regulations and budget proposals for the Kogabwilhan.

The TNI expects Kogabwilkan to be in place by 2024.

President Jokowi approved the plan and called on the TNI to swiftly implement it.

“As soon as possible, we will implement the plan. But first details for the plan should be finalized and then given to me,” Jokowi said after a meeting with TNI leadership in November last year.
