Kapa RD Mk I. Photo by Defense Studies
PT Republik Defensindo is developing a new amphibious tracked transport vehicle for the Indonesian Marine Corps. That was reported by www.altair.com.pl.
The Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Indonesia is seeking to procure a modern amphibious vehicle to replace the Soviet K-61 amphibious cargo vehicle.
PT Republik Defensindo is now preparing for the construction of two prototypes Kapa RD Mk I, which will be used for field tests. Trials will begin in 2017 and will be conducted on land provided by the Marine Corps. In 2018 the Ministry of Defence should be ordered the first batch of 14 cars. Deliveries are to be completed in 2019.
The max weight of amphibian Kapa RD Mk I will be 25 t. The vehicles will be powered by a 6-cylinder diesel engines Iveco L6 power of 590 hp. They grow 70-75 km / h on land or in water 7-8. They will be able to take on board less than 50 soldiers without additional equipment. The manufacturer assumes the assembly of diverse weapons, from 7.62-mm km after more than 100-mm artillery sets. Reinstate cars but will greatly reduce the transport capacity.

Navy Will Book M134D Gatling Gun In Bulk
Head of Research and Development Department of the Navy First Admiral TNI Arief infallible. Image source: JR Nugrono
Its presence in the military world stage as an actor is arguably not a newcomer. Gatling gun made by manufacturers of weapons from the United States, Dillon Aero is already quite a lot of experience in the forefront of the battle going on in the world. Navy (Navy) was intended to bring most new multilaras rifles from the US, M134D in large numbers to strengthen its forces.
"Earlier we had seen the presentation, we see the video. Installed in the boat, in ground vehicles and to be installed in the helicopter also nice to support infantry troop movement. I think is very fitting, only the policy above, we're joined in, "said Head of Research and Development of the Navy (Dislitbangal) Admiral TNI Arief infallible to Angkasa after getting exposure and demonstration test firing Gatling Gun M134D at the firing range Brigif 2 Marines, Cilandak, South Jakarta, Wednesday (09/11/2016).
He said that the recommendation to purchase the weapon is not at his level. It only gave a report that the weapon is compatible for anything. He asserted that it had no right to give recommendations. Because according to all policies to procure weapons found on the Chief of Naval Staff (Navy Chief).
But he said bahwasannya if the Navy is interested in purchasing M134D supplied by PT Armetall Sistema Indonesia and PT Indo Teknika Matra, is likely to be very much the number of weapons to be carried off by the Navy.
"I think it very much, if indeed it was so, because our needs are many. There were two Marines, west and east; there are some brigade; No infantry later how we could count. It was only for the Navy, was in the Marines, "said Arief.
He further said, not to mention to patrol its coast, an awful lot. The beach patrol in Lantamal-Lantamal very banyak.Mungkin also to Puspenerbal who need to use. So it could land, sea and air, for a small patrol.
"For a partial amount needed, sorry, because it must first calculate. This is connected with the tactics that will be developed. That is not our realm, it ranahnya troops, he tactically what it wants to develop, use this to how the team or anything, now it's part of the tactics used, "he concluded.

ayo diambil berita menggembirakan dari website pustekroket lapan , bahwa RKX200TJ (roket kendali 200 mm turbo jet) mampu terbang diatas awan ,jangkauannya 39 km ,melebihi target awal 20km .
post gw ,ga bisa bawa link ,gambar .. Kampret .. ohya kalo bisa ditranslate ke english sekalian .. Biar kawasan tahu ,iniloh indonesia ada cikal bakal AshM ,walaupun di artikelnya mengatakan memiliki potensi sebagai alat pemantau cuaca ,pemantau lalulintas laut tapi di infografisnya disitus pustekroket lapan sebagai tahapan mid-range rudal seperti exocet ,C705 .. Dimulai dari 200mm turbojet gaya dorong 18kg nanti. sampai yg lebih guede

RX200TJ Flight Test 2 (Pierce Cloud To Reach The Sun)
In Pandanwangi 5 November 2016, LAPAN Pustekroket managed to make a new record. As part of a major program of research and development guided missile, Pustekroket must undergo one important phase in the cycle is validation.
The main mission this time is to make sure the launch control system Auto-Take Off and Autopilot based Waypoint that has been applied before is still running well face more extreme conditions so that the limits of the flight envelope of the test vehicle could be mapped. In the previous release (Pandanwangi, August 2016) optimal gain values are suitable for use in systems otopilot secured. Each system otopilot when confronted fly different vehicle configurations, the gain is pretty value must also be changed.
The rides were tested two types, although it has a similar shape and the same baseline that RKX-200TJ (Full Experimental Rocket diameter of 200 mm thrust turbojet-powered), but has a different engine placement locations. RKX-white 200TJ (Siputih) putting a jet engine in the middle of the vehicle, while the orange variant (SiOrenj) using the back as the location of the jet placement. It should be noted that the design and workmanship LAPAN rides are 100% made in Indonesia.
Each configuration has advantages and disadvantages of each. Siputih variant has the advantage in longitudinal stability, while SiOrenj variant has the advantage in fuel capacity.
Important aspects validated in experiments this time there are two aspects that have implications for the stability of longitudinal pitching behavior (nod) and aspects of the capacity of the fuel that has direct influence on fly cruising distance rides.
In Siputih variants, experiments were performed using a full approach autopilot (assisted takeoff by rocket, loitering and terminating). With an average cruising speed of 180 km per hour, RKX 200TJ Siputih, survived to fly for 13 minutes or mean horizontal distance of approximately 39 kilometers! Far exceeding its design targets that require a distance of 20 kilometers as the maximum distance. In this experiment, the test vehicle is also capable of flying through an altitude stratocumulus clouds where cumulus clouds are clearly visible far below the onboard camera. And that seemed just the beauty of the sky where the sun is on it (15:41) and the summit of Mount Semeru underneath (16:30).
If the height of the peak of Mount Semeru is 3,676 meters, this means that the vehicle is able to fly exceeds that height, then a record has been printed, with RKX-200TJ Siputih LAPAN Pustekroket successfully "Penetrating Cloud for Reaching the Sun".
Distinctive features of the program RKX TJ-200 is located on the use of rockets as the initial driving force or a catapult. The consequence is that the calculation of static stability both longitudinal dimension or lateral dimension / directional must be accurate within a matter of millimeters. While the Orange variant, the jet engine shifted to the back, really present new challenges for researchers in arranging longitudinal stability. The center of gravity is moving backward forcing researchers to explore and try different positions ballast / ballast to shift the CG to return to the front / stable area without changing the characteristics of the moment of inertia. After going through several simulations and experiments, finally on Pandanwangi test launches at this time found the optimum position of the ballast to be used in subsequent development phases. This vehicle has the potential as a monitoring tool weather (weather deploy fast surveyor), monitoring sea traffic, and interceptor vessel (quick response interdictor ship).
Hopefully with the achievements of this Pustekroket Space agency, could be contributing to the world of aviation and keantariksaan Indonesia to be more passionate and accelerate to master space rocket technology.

>>> Yay, a much awaited news! once the 2nd purchase completed, Indonesia's submarine forces will jump to 8 strong and modern units. And that number exclude the midget sub that currently under development.
And since we don't want to downgrade the operational and technical requirements, how about we upgrade the requirements instead? Either we choose Changbogo 209/1500 or U-214.
Indonesia to purchase three more submarines
After ordering three submarines from South Korea, Indonesia plans to buy three more as part of the country’s minimum essential force (MEF) program.
The Committee for Defense Industry Policy (KKIP) said Indonesia had yet to decide the producer of the submarines.
“The first, second and third submarines were developed in South Korea,” KKIP corporation and marketing department head Rear Adm (ret) Yussuf Sollichien told The Jakarta Post in Jakarta on Thursday.
He said Indonesia had yet to decide whether it would purchase the three submarines from South Korea.
Indonesia has ordered three types of 209/1400 Chang Bogo- Class diesel attack submarines from Korean defense company Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine engineering (DSME).
The Navy currently operates two German-made submarines, the KRI Cakra ( 401 ) and KRI Nenggala ( 402 ), which were built in the 1980s. The submarines are due to be decommissioned in 2020.
Besides three new submarines, Indonesia also plans to purchase guided missile frigates and fast missile boats.
“Indonesia doesn’t want to downgrade the operational and technical requirements, so we will buy from foreign countries. However, we need the transfer of technology [TOT] as that is mandated by the law,” Yussuf said.

Ultra Electronics, GigaSat becomes channel partner for Military satellite communications in Indonesia
November 10, 2016 - News
With this new partnership, Ultra Electronics, GigaSat (GigaSat) is able to provide Skynet 5 military satcom services to its Indonesian customer base
Airbus Defence and Space has signed GigaSat to its channel partner programme for Skynet services. GigaSat will be offering Skynet services as part of their mobile and fly-away communications portfolio, to Indonesian Defence Forces operating within the Asia Pacific Region.
Airbus Defence and Space is working with service providers to develop new partnerships to deliver highly resilient Skynet military satellite communication services to Asia Pacific region, following the move of its Skynet 5A satellite from 6° East to 95° East to provide global X-band and UHF coverage in this region.
Steve Mills, Head of Global Sales and Marketing for Skynet 5 at Airbus Defence and Space, said: "We have worked with GigaSat already for a number of years working with their extensive satellite terminal portfolio. This new partnership will enable GigaSat to offer Skynet services to their already strong terminal customer base; the services will primarily be using the newly relocated Skynet 5A satellite and enable users to operate in both the US and Asia regions."
Tom Cross, Business Unit Director for Ultra Electronics, GigaSat commented: "GigaSat has a long history of providing integrated hardware solutions to our global satcom customers. This partnership with Airbus will for the first time allow us to also provide X-band and UHF Skynet services, and we are particularly excited about bringing this capability to the Indonesian market, where we have enjoyed strong customer relationships for many years."
Airbus Defence and Space completed the move of the Skynet 5A to 95° East over the Asia Pacific region in September 2015. The relocation was initiated to extend the Skynet constellation’s coverage and services from 178 West to 163 East, including the Indian Ocean and Western Pacific region. The Skynet network now offers global military coverage, expanding core service reach for the UK military and augmenting coalition capabilities in the region.
Airbus Defence and Space owns and operates the hardened Skynet X-band satellite constellation of eight satellites and the ground network to provide all Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) communications to the UK Ministry of Defence. The contract also allows other NATO and allied governments such as members of the five-eyes community (besides UK, the USA, Australia, New Zealand and Canada) to use the Skynet system to augment their existing services.
