This or vl mica. My bet are on vl mica

Sea Ceptor is a better investment than the MICA. I'd rahter we do away from the Exocet's and MICA in favor of NSM's and Sea Ceptors.

You do realize that our navy top brass always prefer tested and proven design.no?

While bought mica, they are not truly tested and quite new for us. Sea ceptor will give our Navy several competitive edges against Navies in the region. NSM or RBS 15 latest itterian is good

Mam deep in my heart i would've liked the navy to be equipped with latest rbs 15mk4 gungnir, aster 30, or onyx ssm. And our f16 retrofitted with aesa radars. But from past procurement I dont think the navy wanted something new. Because for our armed forces "good enough" is enough

MBDA: a Sea Ceptor for Indonesia?
09/11/2018
At Indo Defence MBDA, the European missile company, is promoting its new Sea Ceptor local area anti-air missile system as a potential retrofit for the Indonesian Navy’s three Bung Tomo class corvettes. Originally the three 95 meters corvettes were designed to receive the VL Sea Wolf, following an agreement signed in 2013, but that did not happen. MBDA is now proposing its new missile system based on the CAMM (Common Anti-air Modular Missile)

Sea Captor system. As demonstrated by the highly successful Type 23 upgrade programme for the British Royal Navy, the Sea Ceptor is a proven and low-risk upgrade option for the Bung Tomo corvettes, its physical dimensions being the same of then planned system, which means that no major modification are required on the units.

The Sea Ceptor has a range of more than 25 km, and uses an active radar seeker (supported by mid-course guidance updates) to deliver an all-embracing capability against multiple targets simultaneously. It also features a novel “soft lunch” technology, where a gas-powered piston propels the missile away from the ship before thrusting it in the direction of flight. Once the low-speed /low-energy turnover is complete, the missile fires its main rocket motor.

The Sea Ceptor has been ordered by the UK Ministry of Defence to replace the VL Sea Wolf on Royal Navy’s type 23 frigates and to equip new Type 26 frigates from build as well as future Type 31 frigates. The system was also ordered by New Zealand and Chile for their respective frigate upgrade programmes.

Sea Ceptor is a better investment than the MICA. I'd rahter we do away from the Exocet's and MICA in favor of NSM's and Sea Ceptors.

I agree that Sea Ceptor/CAMM is overall better investment than MICA, in performance, price and other characteristics. They are cheaper than MICA, only 1 million USD top each, they have better range that is marketed as 25km+ compared to MICA's 20km range, they have active radar guidance, they are a simpler and have more "reliable" firing system due to the "cold launch" principle (albeit somewhat take up more time to react to threats), they could be quad-packed in VLS canister, meaning that a Martadinata class frigate could be stuffed with 48 missiles (if we assume that a VL MICA sized cell is used and it's able to hold 4 missiles each, otherwise it's safe to assume that it could hold 40+ missiles).

This is the Sea Ceptor/CAMM test fired from a Mk41 cell, the Sea Ceptor could also be fired from Slyver VLS cell, and perhaps from British MBDA's own VLS system/cell?

Their standart "cell" is very similar to their predecessor the Sea Wolf, and they look like this:

Each cell hold 1 missile, one time use, they use cold launch therefore offers more flexibility and less trouble in integrating it to ship's platform (as there is no need to give up space for exhaust), and it takes less space, they can even have 4 cells module that could even fit inside a KCR 60 (that if we could figure out how to fit it in or slightly modifying the hull, result will be something like the picture from MBDA). They offered the Sea Ceptor as the replacement for Sea Wolfs currently in service aboard Bung Tomo class, due to the fact that Sea Ceptor is a direct successor to the Sea Wolf. But, let's hope that the offer will be more than just being Sea Wolf's relacement.

new paradigm must be prevail, good enough will be never enough if your adversaries hold a slight advantage over yours

The Exocet is an outdated AShM that literally every ship defense system in the world consider a baseline threat. The MICA is more expensive to procure and compared to the Sea Ceptor is an older threat.

The Navy brass doesn't actually care about tested and proven design, just whatever works, is cheapest, and which company can give them the best kickbacks.

High res pics please brother....[emoji120][emoji120]

If only I had one bro, those pics are on the better side resolution and quality wise that I could find on public domains (dated May, 1st 2019). The other pics I got were either too blurry, small or heavily filtered until the details is lost, it's unbearable to watch. Just be patient and wait about a week or so, maybe a better pics would pop up by then I hope.

Indonesia signs contract for multifunction satellite

• News Desk
  The Jakarta Post
  

Jakarta / Fri, May 3, 2019 / 06:31 pm

Communications and Information Minister Rudiantara (The Jakarta Post/Donny Fernando)

The government on Friday contracted a French company to build a multifunction satellite that is expected to be put into orbit and begin operations in 2023.

French manufacturer Thales Alenia Space is to start making the satellite, to be called the Satelit Republik Indonesia (SATRIA), in late 2019 and finish by 2022, according to a press release issued by the Communications and Information Ministry.

“I believe the infrastructure development will support the economic activities in society in the next coming years,” Coordinating Economic Minister Darmin Nasution said after a ceremony marking the signing of an agreement for the project at the National Museum in Jakarta.

He said the satellite project was part of the national strategic program set out in Presidential Regulation No 56/2018.

The satellite, designed to have a throughput capacity of 150 billion bits per second (Gbps), is expected to provide internet services to 150,000 public facilities, including schools and health centers, as well as defense establishments, security administrations and all regional government offices all over Indonesia.

Meanwhile, Communications and Information Minister Rudiantara explained that the SATRIA project was an effort by his ministry to improve connectivity to support public services throughout the country, including in frontier, outermost and remote regions.

“Satellite technology has become a solution to address the gap in broadband internet access in Indonesia, an archipelagic country, which has challenging geographical situation,” Rudiantara said in a statement.

He said SATRIA was the fourth internet infrastructure project undertaken by the ministry, following the western, central and eastern Palapa Ring Broadband projects.

Rudiantara added that the government would use the so-called Availability Payment Scheme to repay the investors involved in the project in periodic installments over 15 years. He said SATRIA was an example of involving the private sector in an infrastructure project. (bbn)
