The Indonesian Navy's (TNI-AL's) new 63 m Klewang-class missile patrol craft will feature radar with wider coverage, missiles with longer range and a hull made from a new composite material.

The information was revealed by Peter Carlqvist, head of Saab Indonesia, in an interview with IHS Jane's at the DSA 2014 exhibition on 15 April. The company recently secured an exclusive agreement with Indonesian shipbuilder PT Lundin (North Sea Boats) to jointly build a replacement for the first-of-class KRI Klewang , which was destroyed in a September 2012 fire.

The wave-piercing trimaran will feature Saab's new Sea Giraffe 1X 3D compact radar that will be installed higher on the vessel's mast to increase coverage.

Indonesia Equips Frigates, Corvette with Stealth Radars

The Indonesian Navy (Tentera Nasional Indonesia - Angkatan Laut: TNI-AL) will equip a total of four Ahmad Yani (Van Speijk)-class guided missile frigates and one Kapitan Pattimura (Parchim I)-class corvette with low-probability-of-intercept (LPI) naval radars.

The radars will be built by Indonesian naval sensor manufacturer PT Infra RCS, company officials told [i>IHS Jane's on 11 April.

The company describes its equipment, the IRCS LPI Radar, as a stealthy sea-based X-band (SBX) radar with frequency modulated continuous wave technology.

"It has a maximum power output of only 10 W, making it quiet and virtually invisible to radar warning receivers on enemy vessels", said Prihatno Susanto, Technical Advisor for the company. "This allows our warships to detect hostile surface combatants without being discovered".

The IRCS LPI Radar has an effective range of 24 n miles and is equipped with tracking software known as Maritime Tracking Aid that allows for automatic radar plotting aid functionality. The system's antenna rotates at 20 rpm and has a gain of about 30dB.

The radar is available as a stand-alone system but can also be integrated with a vessel's electronic chart display and information system (IRCS) and combat management system.

The vessels now equipped with the radar are the guided missile frigates KRI Ahmad Yani and KRI Abdul Halim Perdanakusuma. Both began upgrade works in December 2013. Undergoing the equipment fixture currently are similar vessels in class KRI Yos Sudarso , KRI Oswald Siahaan and the Kapitan Pattimura-class corvette KRI Sultan Taha .

Besides LPI naval radars, the company has also won a contract to equip Oswald Siahaan and Yos Sudarso with naval electronic support measures (ESM) systems that can detect electromagnetic emissions from electronic devices on enemy ships such as radar, communications equipment, jammers and missile targeting systems.

"The IRCS ESM has electronic intelligence (ELINT) capabilities that can pick up signals emitted by hostile warships from up to 90 n miles away via a passive radar", said Susanto. "Once these electromagnetic emissions are detected, a computer software that comes with the system will be able to identify, classify and pin-point the exact location of the source for commanders to take action."

The company has indicated that it is currently embarking on an effort to market both systems internationally.

Good to hear that.....with 4 Heavy and multirole LPD 11,400 ton and 19 LST that we already have, plus our professional and large enough marine personnel, we have already become one of the most regional amphibious powers in Asia.... mmh...and with these new addition (9 new locally made LST) it can add more power.

It is also a market signal for PT PINDAD for its amphibious Anoa project

Actually, the number isn't change much because those new 9 ships are to replace the "ancient" ex. US Navy LST (about 7) from WWII that are still listed in the Navy.
One of the ancient, KRI Teluk Bayur had become a target practice for the Navy during Yakhont missile test.. now it is rest in peace at the bottom of Indian ocean.

But nevertheless, it is indeed an improvement for our Navy strength and quality. And we won't stop building.

Indonesian military to have Apache combat helicopters
Fri, January 24 2014 11:01

(ANTARA News) - The Indonesian army will be strengthened with 8 units of AH-64 Apache AH-64 combat helicopter, Army Chief of Staff General Budiman said.

The helicopters would be delivered by phases starting next year until 2017, Budiman said here on Thursday.

The Boeing-made helicopters will be piloted by army fliers, he said, adding the army will prepare a number of bases for the helicopters.

One of the bases would be located in Berau, the northern most district of East Kalimantan,he said.

Various other types of war planes including Agusta helicopters would be based in Berau.

Budiman said Indonesia will buy the latest variant of Apache helicopter, so far used only by the United States and Singapore.

The eight units complete with weapons will cost US$600 million including for the training of pilots and land crews .

Taiwan, India, Qatar, South Korea and Japan have also placed orders for AH-64E. New Delhi even forced Boeing , the manufacturer, to transfer the technology by producing part of the components in India.

The main weapon of Apache AH-64 is guided missile AGM-114 Hellfire, which is called tank-killer , a nickname it has won in various battle fields.

An Apache AH-64 helicopter carries 16 units of Hellfire guided missile placed in four launchers in its wings with a firing range of 12 kilometers.

In air defense the helicopter is equipped with AIM-9 Sidewinder and AIM-92 Stinger.

The helicopter could also carry anti radiation AGM-122 to destroy enemys radar installations.

Jakarta is seeking to modernize the countrys military equipment to strengthen its defense over its far-flung archipelago.

The country is set to buy a number of units of Russian Kilo Class submarines, which have guided missiles with a long firing range.

The type of Kilo Class submarine named Kiloklav could hit a target as far as 400 kilometers away from sub-surface to surface.

Earlier the Navy chief of staff Admiral Marsetio said a navy technical team would be sent to Russia to study a submarine offer from that country.

Indonesia will also acquire three units of submarine from South Korea to add to the two units the navy already has.

One of the two units is the 209 class type from Germany and the other one was from South Korea with almost the same type as the one from Germany .

"Indonesia still need more units of submarine to strengthen our navy and protect the countrys sovereignty from the sea," Marsetio said.

He said seas make up two third of the countrys territory, therefore, ideally the country would need at least 12 units of submarine.

"If Indonesia is to buy the Russian submarines, the country would be the first in Asia to have kilo class submarines," he said.

The Indonesian military (TNI) has also ordered a number of Leopard tanks which are considered among the best in the world .

From France and Britain ,Indonesia plans to import equipment for air defense system .

TNI chief Gen. Moeldoko said TNI also needed Sukhoi 35, the latest series of Russian Sukhoi jet fighter.

Indonesian Navy set to have domestically built frigate in 2016
Wahyoe Boediwardhana, The Jakarta Post, Surabaya | National | Thu, April 17 2014, 10:41 AM

National News
The Indonesian Navy will soon have its own domestically made frigate when the construction of the PKR 10514 guided-missile destroyer escort is completed in 2016.

Navy chief of staff Adm. Marsetio led a keel laying ceremony for the PKR, which the navy classifies as a frigate, at the state-owned shipbuilder PT PAL Indonesia in Surabaya on Wednesday. The warship is being built under the supervision of Dutch shipbuilder Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding (DSNS).

“The PKR frigate will have the modern surface warfare capabilities being equipped with [anti-ship] Exocet missile, anti-submarine warfare with torpedoes, anti-aircraft warfare and electronic warfare,” Marsetio said after the ceremony.

The new warship is the largest to be built domestically with a length of 105 meters and a width of 14 meters.

Marsetio was accompanied by the Defense Ministry’s Defense Facilities Agency chief Rear Adm. Rachmat Lubis, Dutch Ambassador to Jakarta Tjeerd F de Zwan, and DSNS CEO Hen van Ameijden.

The Defense Ministry ordered two PKR 10514s with a contract of US$220 million. The first steel cutting was conducted in January to mark the start of the frigate construction.

Rachmat said the contract already covered training for PT PAL’s engineers both at home and in the Netherlands and weaponry for the frigates, which must include domestically made weapon systems.

“Initially the warship was to be fully built abroad but after some 175 discussions, it was agreed that the production would be conducted jointly with PT PAL,” he said.

The construction is divided into six modules, of which four would be built at PT PAL’s facility while the remaining two, engine and bridge, would be built in Vlissingen.

“Once finished, the two modules from the Netherlands would be brought and assembled here at PT PAL,” Marsetio said.

The navy chief guarnateed that although most of the modules were to be built in Indonesia, the quality would still be the same with those made in the Netherlands construction would be conducted under the direct supervision of a special DSNS team.

The first ship is expected to be completed in December 2016 while the second frigate in October 2017.

Meanwhile, van Ameijden was upbeat that the cooperation would go smoothly.

“Early January there was nothing here [the shipyard] but today we can see [....] there is good progress. [the project] is still ongoing,” he said. (nvn)

"To realize the production of the warship we steered the keel laying for the PKR frigate, today" the company President Director M Firmansyah Arifin stated, while attending the keel laying ceremony at PT PAL Indonesia shipyard here in Surabaya, East Java.

He noted that the ship will be made complete with facilities and equipment including equipment for undersea war such as torpedoes and helicopter pad.

"The ship is also capable of dealing with air war with its air defense missiles," he confirmed.

The start of the production of the PKR frigate marked the company commitment to realizing the contract between the ministry of defense and the Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding (DSNS).

"The shipbuilding project will also bring benefit to us through the DSNS transfer of technology program," he clarified.

On the occasion, Indonesian navy chief of staff Admiral Marsetio commented that the ship will also be capable of conducting an electronic war and equipment installed for it would be complete.

"We are convinced with the equipment that the navy could rely on the PKR frigate for securing the Indonesian territorial waters," he reinstated.

The shipbuilding project is a cooperation project between PT PAL and DSNS from the Netherlands.

"The project is divided into six modules or sections with four of them to be built by PT PAL while the other two, consisting of the engineering system and platform, in the Netherlands," he added.

If the two modules are completed in the Netherlands, they will be brought to Indonesia to be assembled at PT PAL along with the six modules.

He pointed out that although six modules will be built in Indonesia, their quality is assured because they are built under Dutch supervision.

"The 105-meter long ship is the first out of the two ordered by the navy. We estimate that the production process will take around 48 months or it will finish at the end of December 2016," he confirmed. ***2***
