Indonesian Air Force will provide helmets Israeli development

Tags: Israel , Indonesia , the United States , the Air Force

The Indonesian government has signed a contract with the company Elbit Systems of America, a subsidiary of the private Israeli defense concern "Elbit Maarahot" for the purchase of 300 integrated pilot helmets for combat helicopters Apache AH-64E.

As the portal Military Aerospace contract value - $ 13.2 million. Helmets Elbit IHADSS, among other things, allow you to control the on-board weapons with the help of a helicopter view and get the full picture with infrared sensors in the dark. Such as helmets are armed helicopter pilots of the US Army.

It should be noted that Indonesia has no diplomatic relations with Israel. At the same time, we know that the Israeli defense companies supply their products to countries that do not recognize Israel, through its subsidiaries, registered in the US generally.

Such transactions are rarely publicized, but recently the international and Israeli media have been paying this topic more attention. The reason for this was the death of 50-year-old US citizen Christopher Cramer, an employee of the American defense company Kollsman Inc, whose body was found in the city of Tabuk in Saudi Arabia.

Saudi authorities have completed the investigation into the death of Cramer as soon as possible, declaring that American committed suicide by jumping from the window of the hotel Sahara Makarim Hotel, where he stayed during the trip. However, the family Cramer investigation Saudi authorities were not satisfied. Relatives of the deceased claimed that he was killed, and that his death is related to a major defense contract, which was concluded in Saudi Arabia.

Kollsman Inc. is a subsidiary of Elbit America, which, in turn, is the "daughter" of the private Israeli defense concern "Elbit Maarahot."

Saab in Naval Plans With Lundin

By Vanesha Manuturi on 08:20 pm Mar 12, 2015

Stockholm. Saab Indonesia, the local branch of Swedish aerospace and defense company Saab, plans to begin operations on its joint venture with shipbuilder Lundin Industry in East Java early next year in a strategy to strengthen its foothold in Southeast Asia’s largest economy.

Peter Carlqvist, the head of Saab Indonesia, said the joint venture — which sets out to be a hub for naval ship maintenance — has so far secured approvals from the Defense Ministry as well as the Investment Coordinating Board.

“We are ready to operate, but we have to wait for the contract from the navy to actually start,” Carlqvist said.

Saab will own 49 percent of the joint venture, while Lundin will control the remaining 51 percent, according to Carlqvist. The company will be located near the Banyuwangi naval base.

On top of a naval maintenance hub, Saab and Lundin also plan to use the joint venture to market a trimaran-based fast attack craft to potential customers in the region.

The joint venture, according to Carlqvist, embodies the commitments that Saab is prepared to do in transferring their technology to Indonesia.

The Linkoping-based defense company has been extending their reach in Indonesia since the establishment of its local representative office in 2013.

Aside from Lundin, Saab also has signed early-stage agreements with state electronics firm Len and state weapons manufacturers Pindad.

Dewa Made Juniarta Sastrawan, Indonesia’s ambassador for Sweden, noted that the government has been largely positive on Saab’s offers to Indonesia — which has ranged from a national tactical data link and airborne early warning radar system to the Gripen figher jet — but it remains unrushed in making the decision.

“I think [a collaboration with Saab] is a good opportunity. We have an opportunity to spur our downstream industry,” Dewa Made told reporters in Stockholm.

“We do have to admit that our procurement process is very lengthy,” he added.

Aviation expert Dudi Sudibyo echoed the ambassador’s positive sentiment on the Swedish company. Instead, he questioned the readiness level of Indonesia as the receiving end of the technology transfer.

“Our typical thought is that Saab is the only one who has to put a lot of money to the transfer of technology initiative, but actually, Indonesia should play a part as well in investing as well,” he said on Wednesday.

GlobeAsia traveled to Sweden at Saab’s invitation.

One squadron seriously

One squadron seriously

It will likely to take about 4 years to complete into 16 planes...........

Some times I really want to make dua that you face similar to what Ukraine is facing only than your genius government would learn How important strong very strong defence is

Nope, Eurofighter chance has finished..........If we look at TOT, we should only pursue 1 type of plane and focus to the numbers. We just dont have the money yet to acquire another type of fighters, and it is not good as well based on logistical issues. But who knows....? Russia needs to deliver his promise on TOT first of course, so some option is still possible to be opened if the situation changes..........

Some times I really want to make dua that you face similar to what Ukraine is facing only than your genius government would learn How important strong very strong defence is

Dont worry mate, PT Dirgantara has 2 civil programs which is N-213 and R-80 (in collaboration with PT RAI), we already have more than 200 preliminary orders for both plane (inshaALLAH it will become real orders). During that process until 2024, the production capacity of PT Dirgantara is likely to increase much because of that civilian orders. So, we can expect that we can produce around 80 KFX/IFX ( inshaALLAH ) around 4 years at that moment.

And 2024 is the time to bring my country into the next level, I expect our GDP to almost or even have crossed 2 Trillion figure in nominal calculation alone, which I also hope during that period we can increase our tax ratio, for your information Today tax ratio is still below Malaysia and other states. So, possibly, we can really have a big posture in our budget during that moment. Some thing that All Indonesians must work to achieve that.

In a country like us with 17,000 islands, hundreds of ethnic and dialects, developing economy and public welfare is most important part of national security rather than military weapon procurement. Currently we only spend 0,8% of our national GDP for military budget. Its more important for us to make sure that every distant part of our archipelago get public service and education rather than building 200 4-5 gen aircraft fighter. Doesnt mean thats not important at all but we have priorities. Pakistan can afford letting half of her western territory ruled by warlords and Talibans but if that thing happens to us its a sure disintegration of the whole nation. And education, public service and welfare is the main element that make sure we can rule all of our vast territory under one law and authority.
