'KF-X Project Could Come to a Dead End'

The Korean Fighter Experimental (KF-X) project of the ROK Air Force could come to a deadlock without key technology transfers from the United States. However, the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) is claiming that it is not going to happen, because it has the option of technology transfer from a third country.

“The softest spot of the KF-X project is the export licensing policy of the U.S.,” said Choi Jong-kun, a political science and diplomacy professor at Yonsei University, on July 14, adding, “If Korea had to do it on its own due to a lack of technology transfer, the project would not be able to be completed as scheduled.”

DAPA signed an offset agreement in Oct. last year with Lockheed Martin to be supplied with key technology for the project. At present, the export licensing procedure is underway in the U.S. government. It is said that the U.S. government is unwilling to provide the four key techniques, including the active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar. DAPA said that it would meet the schedule by continuing to talk with the U.S. and cooperating with a third country just in case.

According to the professor, the U.S. might keep its key techniques to itself due to the presence of Indonesia, an Islamic country, in the project. “If Indonesia withdrew from the project in that state, problems could arise in the form of budgetary burdens and a reduction in the scale of the project,” he continued.

Sebetulnya saya udah ga ngepost sejak setahun terakhir karena saya udah banyak kerjaan, deadline numpuk professor telefonin mulu hahaha. Ini juga nge forum karena ambil day off lebaran.



Anyway, selamat Idul Fitri all ! Mohon maaf lahir bathin.

Setuju mas, untuk tahun pertama memang masih tahap evaluasi dan penyesuaian, jadi tidak bisa berharap banyak akan adanya kontrak baru. Tapi mengingat akan adanya percepatan di MEF-2 ini, mungkin tahun depan sudah mulai dapat terlihat arah perkembangannya khususnya untuk AU dan AL, semoga..

ada yang "main" di papua?

Belum jelas mas, masih dalam penyelidikan. Semoga masalah ini tidak melebar..

Can Indonesia Speed Up Its Military Aircraft Modernization?
The country’s latest attempt may be more challenging than it looks.

Earlier this week, Indonesian defense minister Ryamizard Ryacudu said that the country would decommission all military aircraft more than 30 years old.

The announcement is not surprising. It comes just weeks after the crash of a C-130 Hercules air force plane killed about 140 people last month. The U.S.-made aircraft had gone into service nearly 50 years ago (See: “Indonesia’s Deadly Air Force Plane Crash”).

As I wrote then, this has predictably led to calls to speed up the modernization of Indonesian military (TNI) equipment. Some have urged the government to buy only new planes instead of relying on grants from other countries to purchase secondhand aircraft, much like the complaints heard earlier this year following an F-16 fighter jet malfunction (See: “Will Indonesia’s Fighter Jet Malfunction Affect its Defense Policy?”). Others, including President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo, have used it as an opportunity to once again reiterate the importance of Indonesia striving for self-reliance in its own domestic defense industry (See: “An Indonesian Defense Revolution Under Jokowi?”).

To be sure, the spotlight on Indonesian military aircraft modernization and Ryamizard’s announcement regarding decommissioning are understandable given the tragedy that has occurred. But amid the hysteria over Indonesia’s aging aircraft, it is also important to properly contextualize the challenge so as to prevent misunderstanding and to manage expectations.

First, the assessing the capability of an aircraft – or any military equipment for that matter – by age alone is rather misleading. As I pointed out in an earlier piece, Indonesia is hardly the only country which buys secondhand aircraft, and its decision to do is partly because they are cheaper alternatives for a cash-strapped military that needs them badly and urgently (See: “Will Indonesia’s Fighter Jet Malfunction Affect its Defense Policy?”). Furthermore, an old aircraft can still be of use if it is properly maintained and serviced and if the necessary spare parts are available. The attention should thus be placed on Indonesia’s capacity to manage these aging aircraft rather than simply the fact that they are old.

Second, the scale of the aging problem in Indonesia’s military is far more extensive than is often appreciated and is therefore much more difficult to solve than it appears. In his announcement, Ryamizard did not say how many aircraft would be retired, merely referring to “equipment that is 30, 40, 50 years old, planes and helicopters.” But existing data gives us an idea of just how big this problem is. As Iis Gindarsah of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Jakarta recently noted, a majority – or 52 percent to be exact – of TNI equipment has been operated for over three decades. Among the various services, the Air Force is actually in the best shape but still 38 percent of its arsenal is over three decades old (the Navy is at at 59 percent and the Army at 54 percent).

Replacing these aging aircraft is not easy either. As I have noted elsewhere, Indonesia’s military modernization has been progressing very slowly, which is the product of a myriad of factors including budgetary constraints and its procurement process. The Air Force’s slow struggle to replace its old F-5 aircraft is a case in point. While Jokowi has vowed to boost Indonesia’s defense budget to 1.5 percent of GDP from its current 0.8 percent as the country seeks to achieve a so-called Minimal Essential Force by 2024, it is unclear what exactly this will mean for the TNI in terms of its budget to procure new aircraft (“Will Indonesia Double Its Defense Budget in 2016?”). His plan to build up the domestic defense industry is a good long-term aspiration but does little to change this equation now. Ryamizard was also silent in his announcement about whether decommissioning old aircraft would mean Indonesia procuring more planes at a quicker pace to replace them.

Thus, while Indonesia’s latest plane crash should draw everyone’s attention to the country’s aging aircraft problem, they should also be aware of the complexities and trade-offs associated with procurement and military modernization more generally as the Southeast Asian state tackles this challenge.
