PH may buy more NC212i planes in the future — Lorenzana
The Philippines may purchase more NC212i light utility transport aircraft from Indonesia if the Air Force finds it suitable to their operations, Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said.

On Tuesday, the state-owned PT Dirgantara Indonesia finally turned over two units to the Philippines, after a few years of delay due to autopilot issues. The planes, purchased through the AFP modernization program signed in 2014, are worth P850 million.

The Air Force sees the aircraft as a “big leap” to their air mobility requirements and capabilities. Its fleet of light transport planes, the Nomad, are being used since the 1970s.

“If the Air Force will find this aircraft suitable for our use, they will order more of this aircraft,” he said.

A similar type of aircraft is currently not included in the Horizon 2 of the AFP modernization program, however.

Lorenzana also took the opportunity at the turnover to express his admiration for Indonesia’s defense industry.

“We admire Indonesia for their vision to create their own defense industry. Remember in the 1960s we also had our own modernization program under then President Marcos but it did not take off,” he said.

“But Indonesia was able to pursue their vision of developing their naval industry and aircraft industry and now they are exporting to us,” Lorenzana said, citing the two strategic sealift vessels of the Philippine Navy which were also bought from Indonesia as examples.

“We are happy to have the help of our neighbors. Indonesia is in just in the back door to provide the necessary equipment,” he said.

“When the supplier of a good is near, the after-sale support is easier. It’s easier for them to come and solve a problem,” he added.

Indonesia to boost military products` procurement process for Brunei

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The Government of Indonesia is committed to boost military products` procurement process for Brunei, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Of course, we will follow up on this plan. The process is underway, and we agree to boost it," Indonesia`s Minister of Foreign Affairs Retno Marsudi noted here on Friday.

Earlier, Minister Marsudi and her Brunei counterpart Minister Erwyn Yusof had attended the 4th Indonesia-Brunei Joint Commission for Bilateral Cooperation (JCBC) at the Pancasila Building in Jakarta.

The plan to purchase some military products from Indonesia was initiated by Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei during his visit to Jakarta in May this year.

Bolkiah had expressed interest in some military weapons and vehicles produced by PT Pindad while visiting an exhibition at the Indonesian Military Base in Cilangkap, East Jakarta.

Apart from military and defense cooperation, Marsudi noted that during the JCBC, the two countries agreed to intensify negotiations on the placement and protection of Indonesian migrant workers in Brunei, considering their number reaches 20 percent of Brunei`s population.

Indonesia also conveyed a request for some residency permits for its diplomats deployed in Brunei.

Indonesia and Brunei are also committed to strengthen cooperation in combating transnational organized crimes, especially on the trafficking of humans and drugs as well as counterterrorism.

On the sidelines of the meeting, Indonesia`s aircraft company Sriwijaya Air had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) note with Brunei`s Syarikat Kejuruteraan Bumiputra Belait Sdn Bhd to start flight services on the Bandar Seri Begawan-Balikpapan route.

The MoU highlighted Indonesia-Brunei JCBC`s agreement to boost economic cooperation through business-to-business relations.

Brunei was keen to follow up on Indonesia`s invitation to invest in the "10 New Bali" tourism destinations.

In the social and cultural fields, Indonesia and Brunei have agreed to implement an MoU on health cooperation signed in 2015 and to follow up on an action plan on food security through agricultural cooperation.

PT PAL closes in on Philippine Navy opportunities

Indonesian shipbuilder PT PAL is stepping up engagement with the Philippine Navy (PN) in efforts to fulfil the service's capability requirements for sealift, surface combatants, and submarines, an industry official from PT PAL has confirmed to Jane's .

The official, speaking at the Asian Defence and Security (ADAS) 2018 exhibition in Manila that concluded on 28 September, said that following on from PT PAL's programme to deliver two Strategic Sealift Vessels (SSVs) to the PN - the second of which was commissioned in May 2017 - the company is negotiating the sale of two additional vessels of the same type.

The official said a contract to supply the two SSVs, which are based on the Makassar-class landing platform dock (LPD) ships in service with the Indonesian Navy that were designed by South Korean shipbuilder Dae Sun, could emerge in 2019 to meet the PN's requirements to respond to disaster relief and counter-insurgency (COIN)-support requirements. The value of the initial contract was USD92 million.

The PN has also expressed interest in procuring PT PAL's KCR-60M missile attack craft to also support COIN operations, said the official. Jane's understands that negotiations over the supply of two initial KCR-60M vessels are continuing and that this could also result in a contract opportunity in 2019. The Indonesian Navy currently operates three 60 m KCR-60Ms, and a fourth is expected to be commissioned soon.

While the programmes to supply the KCR-60M vessel and additional SSVs are regarded as near-term export targets for PT PAL, the possible collaboration on submarines is a longer-term aim, said the official.

In the short term, PT PAL is focused on completing the construction of the Indonesian Navy's (TNI-AL's) third Nagapasa (Type 209/1400)-class submarine, developed by South Korea's Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME). The first two submarines in the programme - built by DSME - have already been handed over to the TNI-AL under a USD1.1 billion contract signed in 2011.

Pindad Exports of Munitions and Explosives to Thailand

PT Pindad (Persero) will again export 7,300 grains of 7.62x51 mm and explosives materials as many as 4,030 units to Thailand. The release of the export of the product will be released by the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Rini M. Soemarno and the President Director of Pindad, Abraham Mose at the PT LEN Industri Office, Wednesday (10/31/2018).

Previously, PT Pindad (Persero) had been involved in export sales for a long time. Starting from 2006 Pindad began to intensify its exports to several countries such as Cambodia and Nigeria for assault rifles, Malaysia and Australia to handle riots, South Korea, Singapore, Timor Leste, the Philippines for ammunition, Laos for weapons and ammunition, and several other countries in the Asian region with average sales per year in the range of 5 million USD. Thailand alone is the current main export customer for Pindad since 2006 for small caliber ammunition products.

Pindad has also participated in the UN peace mission by sending Anoa vehicles as of 2010. Currently Anoa Pindad has spread in several regions, such as 24 units in UNAMID as a peace mission in Sudan, 20 units in UNIFIL as a peace mission in Lebanon , 4 units at MINUSCA as peace missions in Central Africa, and 20 units in MONUSCO as peace missions in Congo.

This year Pindad increased its export sales target, with plans to export G2 Elite pistols for Brunei Darussalam, Elite G2, Assault Rifles, and Ammunition for Malaysia, Assault Rifles, Ammunition and Submachine Guns for the Philippines, and ammunition, assault rifles and dragons to United States with a total prognosis of 2018 in the range of 100 million USD.

Pindad's newest product, the Medium Tank, has also been promoted in several countries in the Southeast Asia region and has received a positive response. We hope that in the coming year this product will be able to enter the international market for the leading Pindad in Asia in 2023.

In addition to defense products, Pindad has now also developed Industrial products, namely generators, electric motors, ship equipment, agricultural equipment, and heavy equipment such as excavators, which currently have around 7 units in Palu.

This export activity is a manifestation of our commitment not only to present the figure of BUMN at the global level but also to bring in foreign exchange and multiplier economic effects in the community both in the form of empowering local suppliers and employment.
