REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Indonesian state-owned arms manufacturing firm PT Pindad has invited a number of countries to cooperate in the production of equipment for the country's main weaponry system.

"The development of cooperation with Germany, Turkey and Belgium will commence this year, in addition to transfer deals," the new presidentdirector of the company, Silmy Karim, said before attending a meeting between the working committee on state capital participation with Commission XI of the House of Representatives (DPR) here on Monday.

He affirmed that Pindad would cooperate with Rheinmetall of Germany to produce tank ammunition, with FNSS of Turkey to develop medium-sized tanks, and also with Cockerill Maintenance & Ingenierie SA Defence (CMI) to produce 90mm and 105mm caliber turrets.

"The cooperation is being established with countries that are known in the world for their expertise in tank and arms technologies. These ties will be flexible and can also be in the form of cooperation in products or operations, or a joint company," he pointed out.

Karim, who was inaugurated as the company's president director on December 22, 2014, stated that the cooperation was also aimed at meeting domestic demand, besides technology transfer.

"Many countries offered to establish cooperation, but we chose these countries," he remarked, adding that Pindad has sought cooperation with other countries, as well, because of its limited resources.

Moreover, to produce equipment for Indonesia's main weapon system in 2015, the company needs some Rp4.7 trillion.

"It is believed that a funding of Rp700 billion will be allocated for the venture in the 2015 national budget, while some Rp100 will be from internal coffers, and the rest, from partners," he affirmed.

Furthermore, Commission XI of the parliament and Pindad are discussing the government's plan to inject Rp700 billion in 2015 to the company to improve its production lines (Rp593.5 billion) and the development of itsindustrial product business to support the government's maritime axis program (Rp66.5 billion).

Rp25 billion meanwhile will be allocated to develop production and facilities for learning centers, while another Rp15 billion will be provided for human resource development.

If the government capital participation is disbursed, Pindad will set a revenue target of Rp4.035 trillion for 2019, up from Rp2.1 trillion projected for 2015, he noted.

The company's net profit in 2019 is estimated to be Rp200.7 billion, which is higher than the estimated Rp85.3 trillion for 2015.

Indonesia looks to procure Japan's US-2 aircraft - IHS Jane's 360

Indonesia and Japan are looking to develop a procurement plan featuring Indonesia's potential purchase of ShinMaywa Industries' US-2 amphibious search-and-rescue (SAR) aircraft, according to the Indonesian Ministry of Defence (MoD).

An MoD statement said that Indonesian Defence Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu and Indonesia's ambassador to Japan, Yusron Ihza Mahendra, discussed the potential US-2 procurement on 5 May.

It added that any move to buy the US-2 would be linked to the defence memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed by Indonesia and Japan in March that outlines a commitment from both countries to collaborate on military equipment and technologies.

Citing Mahendra, the MoD said that the Japanese government was "waiting for systems specifications required and a purchase plan from the government of Indonesia".

Is this medium size tank will replace amx 13? How many the TNI will purchase it??

As long as I know there has been no formal contract carried out by MoD to procure this medium tank, probably waiting for the result of the Development from this project.,
But if this medium tank is projected to replace our current AMX-13 and the Scorpions, then at least we need around 300-400 units to fulfill it.. CMIIW.

JAYAPURA: The KRI Dr. Soeharso 900 hospital ship will extend its deployment from 100 to 200 days annually, Coordinating Maritime Affairs Minister Indroyono Soesilo has said.

The cost of the ship’s operation, medicines and medical staff, including doctors, for the additional 100 days would be covered by the Office of the Maritime Affairs Coordinating Minister, said Indroyono, speaking aboard the ship in Jayapura, West Papua, on Friday.

“The initial 100-day deployment falls under the Indonesian Navy,” he said. The KRI Dr. Soeharso 900 will provide healthcare to residents in Jayapura and surrounding areas from this month on.

The additional 100-day operation is part of the Millennium Development Goals program, one of which is to curb the maternal mortality rate.

According to Indroyono, the KRI DR. Soeharso 990, is the only hospital ship in Indonesia and the ASEAN region, so it must maximize its function.

KUPANG: Indonesian Military (TNI) chief Gen. Moeldoko bade farewell to soldiers and police personnel in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara on Friday.

Moeldoko is due to reach his mandatory retirement age in July and is expected to leave military service soon after.

“It is interesting that during this visit Gen. Badrodin Haiti is introducing himself as the new police chief while I am here to bid farewell to all soldiers because I’m going into retirement,” he said in his speech. Badrodin joined him during the trip to Kupang.

Moeldoko then called on soldiers to continue improving their performance and professionalism.

He also called on all personnel in the Army, Air Force and Navy to end their rivalries as they could trigger friction within the military organization.

“It is not necessary to nurture sectoral rivalries. In my observation, sectoral rivalries will trigger disunity and internal conflicts that undermine solidarity within the military organization,” said Moeldoko.
