Indonesia nears decision on F-16, C-130 upgrades
By Greg Waldron

Indonesia should make a decision on a mid-life upgrade for its Lockheed Martin F-16A/Bs in 2011 or 2012, but could also buy an additional batch of six Block 50/52 fighters.

If the upgrade takes place it will extend the service life of the Indonesian air force's current F-16s from 4,000 to 8,000 flight hours, and make them as capable as new-build models, says an industry source. An upgrade to all 10 aircraft is likely to cost around $150 million.

Modernisation work would take one year per aircraft, with the work to be conducted in Indonesia using kits provided by Lockheed, according to details revealed at the tri-service Indo Defence Expo & Forum in Jakarta. The air force also wants to acquire Falcon Star and Falcon Up upgrades for its current fighters.

In addition, Lockheed is pushing for Indonesia to purchase six more F-16s in the Block 50/52 configuration to give it a full squadron of 16 operational aircraft.

Another option, albeit less likely, would be for the nation to replace its current F-16s with ex-US Air National Guard Block 50/52 airframes. However, these would have a remaining service life of only 1,500h each and be less compatible with the US Air Force's support system for the type.

Indonesia is also in discussions with Lockheed about a possible service life extension programme for its C-130B/H transports, although the fighter upgrade has the higher priority.

A decision to upgrade both types would be consistent with the nation's plans to modernise its military. In October, defence minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro said about 150 trillion Indonesian rupiah ($16.8 billion) is needed over the next five years to support the process.

Indonesia's F-16s and C-130s are a legacy of the Cold War, when Washington considered the nation a key ally. That changed when a US arms embargo was imposed in 1992 after Indonesian soldiers killed East Timorese pro-independence demonstrators. The restrictions were tightened in 1999 after a brutal crackdown in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent East Timor's independence.

The embargo resulted in the grounding of most of the nation's F-16s until it was lifted in 2005 when Washington began to view Indonesia as a model of a majority-Muslim country that is also a secular democracy.

Relations have steadily improved, underlined by US President Barack Obama's visit to Indonesia on 9-10 November.

Indonesia orders Super Tucanos for light attack role
By Greg Waldron

Indonesia plans to buy eight Embraer EMB-314 Super Tucano light attack turboprops, and could eventually double its order - the first for the Brazilian type in the Asia-Pacific region.

"Air force headquarters has decided to replace our Rockwell OV-10 Broncos with as many as 16 Super Tucanos," says Indonesian air force operational commander Yushan Sayuti, according to a report by the country's official Antara news agency.

The first Super Tucanos will arrive in 2012 under the initial order, which also includes ground-support stations and a logistics package. Several other types were considered for the requirement, such as the Korea Aerospace Industries KT-1. Eleven of these are in air force service as trainers, says Flightglobal's MiliCAS database.

"The Super Tucano has been chosen to replace the Broncos because of its flexibility to perform a broad range of missions, including light attack, surveillance, air-to-air interception and counter insurgency," says Embraer. MiliCAS lists Indonesia's active OV-10 fleet at just two aircraft.

The EMB-314 can operate from unpaved runways with a variety of armaments, including its two wing-housed 12.7mm machine guns. Other weapons can include conventional and laser-guided bombs, plus rocket pods and air-to-air missiles. The aircraft also carries an electro-optical/infrared sensor, laser designator and secure radios with datalinks.

The type can also be used as a trainer, thanks to its advanced avionics fit, and its low-speed performance means it can also perform surveillance tasks.

The counter-insurgency mission is important to Indonesia, which at various times in its 60-year history has contended with rebel movements in outlying provinces. Broncos provided air support during Indonesia's invasion of East Timor in 1975, and were used extensively against Timorese rebels in the 1970s and 1990s prior to Timor Leste's independence in 2002.

In addition, a simmering independence struggle in the country's West Papua province sometimes erupts into fighting.

The Super Tucano is operated by the air forces of Brazil, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic and Ecuador, with the type having now logged over 100,000 flight hourse.

Jakarta earmarks funds for utility helicopter deal
By Greg Waldron

Jakarta has earmarked $65 million for new medium utility helicopters, but the Indonesian defence ministry has yet to receive the funds.

The army plans to use the money to buy a batch of six medium utility helicopters, according to an industry source speaking at the tri-service Indo Defence Expo & Forum in Jakarta. A second batch of eight aircraft would be purchased later.

Previous reports have suggested that Indonesia's total requirement could be for 24 new utility helicopters; enough to be divided into two squadrons.

The army has yet to select a type, but has said in the past that it wants a helicopter that can perform both utility and attack roles. However, the industry source says the first role has taken on a greater priority recently.

Several helicopter manufacturers were present at the Jakarta show, including AgustaWestland, Eurocopter and Indonesian Aerospace (IAe).

Possible contenders for the requirement include AgustaWestland's AW139, the Eurocopter-promoted NH Industries NH90, and the Bell 412EP, put forward by the US manufacturer and IAe.

La Russie a livré 17 blindés amphibies à l'Indonésie
La Russie a livré 17 véhicules blindés des fusiliers marins BMP-3F au port indonésien de Surabaya, a annoncé samedi par téléphone un responsable indonésien proche de la coopération militaire et technique entre les deux pays.
Les blindés-amphibies ont été livrés à l'Indonésie dans le cadre d'un accord sur le crédit d'Etat d'un milliard de dollars signé par Moscou et Jakarta en septembre 2007.
"Il y a des pays qui aiment beaucoup les hélicoptères russes, d'autres achètent des missiles sol-air russes Igla. Mais il y a aussi des pays, entre autres l'Indonésie, dont la situation géographique, le paysage et d'autres particularités sont propices à l'utilisation des véhicules blindés de combat d'infanterie russes", a déclaré à la mi-novembre le directeur général adjoint de l'agence russe d'exportation d'armements "Rosoboronexport" Viktor Komardine lors du 4e Salon international de la défense indienne INDO Defence 2010 Expo&Forum.
A l'heure actuelle, Moscou propose à Jakarta d'acheter un autre lot important de blindés dans le cadre du même crédit d'Etat. La Russie est également prête à créer un centre de maintenance technique des blindés en Indonésie.
Le blindé-amphibie BMP-3F est doté d'un canon de 100 mm, d'un canon de 30 mm, d'un missile téléguidé et d'une mitrailleuse de 7,62 mm. Destiné au combat dans la zone côtière et sur le littoral, le BMP-3F peut rouler à 70 km/h et nager à 10 km/h. Il est capable d'engager les cibles terrestres et aériennes, autant en position statique qu'en mouvement. Il transporte un groupe de combat de sept hommes et trois membres d'équipage.

Indonesia to Destroy Six US-Built Warships

The US Government has granted approval to destroy six US-built Indonesian warships, which are more than 30 years old, Indonesian Navy chief of staff Admiral Soeparno confirmed.
The decision is part of the Indonesian Navy's modernisation programme of armament systems, which includes destroying, replacing and increasing capacity and capabilities of the operational system.
"The US-built landing ship tanks (LST) and landing platform docks (LDP) are already 64-70 years old. And every time US military met the ships they saluted them as their seniors. So, it is time for replacements," he said.
The warships will be replaced by procuring new ones through local production or jointly producing on the condition of technology transfer, according to Bernama.
The six LSTs are KRI Teluk Langsa 501, KRI Teluk Bayur 502, KRI Teluk Kau 504, KRI Teluk Tomini 508, KRI Teluk Ratai 509, KRI Teluk Saleh 510, and KRI Teluk Bone 511.

RI expecting F-16 jets from US



The Indonesian Military (TNI) has accepted an offer for a grant from the US government in the form of two F-16A/B Fighting Falcon jets, a top military commander says.
"The agreement is still in progress. It has been followed up by the Defense Ministry. We are now waiting for confirmation from the US regarding the grant agreement," TNI commander Admiral Agus Suhartono said Tuesday, as quoted by Antara.
Agus said the TNI planned to procure six F-16 jets, with more sophisticated technology, from the US by 2014.

"This will be cheaper should we accept the grant," Agus said.

He said the two F-16A/B Fighting Falcon jets could be upgraded to equal the state-of-the-art F16 C/D Block 52 jets.

"Should we upgrade their avionics and weapons systems, the granted F-16 jets would still be reliable fighters to deter any threat," he said.

Indonesia to get Brunei patrol ships




BRUNEI plans to grant Indonesia patrol vessels KDB Waspada and KDB Pejuang for military training as part of efforts to promote the expansion of defence ties.

Deputy Minister of Defence Dato Paduka Hj Mustappa Hj Sirat said yesterday that various programmes on Brunei-Indonesia defence ties would be carried out.

"KDB Waspada and KDB Pejuang are still in operation, possibly in April ...these will be delivered to Indonesia to be used as (military) training vessel for the Indonesian Navy (TNI AL)," Dato Paduka Hj Mustappa told The Brunei Times prior to joining a morning walk with His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam and Indonesia President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono at the Tasek Lama Recreational Park.

Maintenance checks and operation trainings need to be done before the vessels are handed over to Indonesia, he said.

His Majesty's Government and Indonesia signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Defence Cooperation on April 10, 2003. The MoU was recently ratified by Indonesia's parliament.

"There will be a joint committee to discuss how to further expand the defence cooperation between the two," he said.

Brunei and Indonesia are also planning to carry out joint training for its military forces as well as their special forces.

Moreover, there is a plan to send Brunei's military personnel to study at the Defence University in Indonesia this year.

Asked how many military personnel Brunei is expected to send, Dato Paduka Hj Mustappa said, "We need to look at their qualifications."

Indonesia's Vice Minister of Defence Lieutenant General TNI (Rtd) Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin said five slots would be open for Bruneians to pursue a degree at Indonesia's Defence University. "In conclusion, this year we will take the opportunity to implement various cooperation that we need to carry out," Sjafrie said.

Meanwhile, number of programmes that both parties have implemented are exchange visits of top-notch military officers as well as attending courses at the National Resilience Institute (Lemhanas) in Jakarta, and Brunei's Joint Staff Course and Executive Development Programme.

He went on to say that this year the Royal Brunei Armed Forces (RBAF) will be celebrating its 50th anniversary. Part of activities lined up for the celebrations are the Brunei International Defence Exhibition (BRIDEX), the Brunei International Tattoo and the Fleet Review.

Indonesia's Sjafrie said President Yudhoyono would instruct the TNI Army Chief to actively participate in the Golden Jubilee of the RBAF and order the Indonesia Minister of Defense to take part in BRIDEX.

Indonesian Air Force to Buy C-27J Spartan Transport Plane



JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Air Force Chief Marshal Imam Sufaat said his side was considering buying Italian C-27j transport planes to replace the Air Force’s Fokker-27s that had been long used.
"We will see first from various aspects such as its operation requirements, technical specifications, logistics support and others so that it will really meet our needs," the air force chief said here on Wednesday.
He said that apart from C-27J spartan planes, the Air Force was also eyeing CN-295s which were produced by Indonesia’s PT Dirgantara, to replace its F-27s which had been used over the past 20 years.
The air force chief said that the procurement of airplanes would be focused on transport aircraft because in the coming five years there will be a lot of military operations. Wars need more transport planes, light middle or heavy ones. Regarding the replacement of F-27s with CN-235s, Sufaat said that the air force already had six CN-235s which reinforced its light transport fleet.
"We also need a middle transport fleet. This could be met with the procurement of C-27j spartans. A CN-235 has the capacity to transport about thee tons of loads while a spartan is able to carry a load of up to 10 tons," the air force chief said.

Britain in Eurofighter talks with Indonesia



(AFP) LONDON — Britain is in talks with Indonesia on the possible sale of Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft despite concerns over Jakarta's human rights record, The Times newspaper reported Thursday.
Indonesia informally approached Britain over the potential acquisition of up to 24 jets. The previous Labour government banned defence exports to the country in 1999 amid claims it had used British-made planes to bomb civilians.
The sale would be worth around 5 billion pounds ($8.1 billion dollars, 5.8 billion euros) in total, the paper said, but would be hugely controversial in light of current concern over the source of weapons being used against Arab rebels.
British military company BAE Systems has separately offered to upgrade Indonesia's fleet of Hawk jets, it said.
Gerald Howarth, a British defence minister, will discuss the potential sale when he attends a defence summit in Jakarta later this month, the Times said.
"I fully expect that to be the case," Howarth told the paper. "Typhoon is on their agenda. Their interest shows the extent of interest by countries around the world in what is one of the most sophisticated aircraft anywhere."
Human rights group Amnesty International accuses Indonesia of rights violations including police torture and a restricted media.
Former Prime Minister Tony Blair's Labour government blocked the sale of jets after it was claimed that Indonesia's Hawk fleet had bombed East Timor rebels.
Kaye Stearman, a spokeswoman for Campaign Against Arms Trade, told the Times: "From 1994 to 1999 Indonesia bought half of its military equipment from the UK, backed by UK export credits.
"The people of Indonesia have accumulated huge debts which they are still paying off. The Hawk jets and other British-made weaponry were used by Indonesia in East Timor, West Papua and Aceh.
"With such a dreadful record, BAE and the British government should not be trying to sell more weapons to Indonesia," she added.
Eurofighters were grounded last year in several countries due to the problematic ejectors after a crash killed a Saudi pilot.

Indonesian air force bolsters airlift capability with 737s
By Greg Waldron

Indonesia's air force has obtained two used Boeing 737-400s from the nation's flag carrier Garuda.

The two aircraft will be used for VIP and troop transport missions, says Garuda. They will not be modified from their current configuration.

A memorandum of understanding for the deal was signed last November, with the aircraft handed over in early March. The carrier declines to reveal how much the air force paid for the twinjets.

Maintenance of the aircraft will be the responsibility of both Garuda and the air force. Flightglobal's ACAS database records that Garuda's six wholly owned 737-400s were delivered in 1993 and have an average of around 43,000h of flying time each.

The Indonesian air force is working to upgrade its airlift capability. In January, Annapolis-based Arinc Engineering Services won a $63.7 million contract to modernise five Indonesian air force Lockheed Martin C-130B transports.

Indonesia eyes C-27J Spartans
By Firdaus Hashim

The Indonesian air force could buy an unspecified number of Alenia Aeronautica C-27J Spartans to augment its fleet of military transport aircraft.

It will assess the aircraft based on its "operation requirements, technical specifications [and] logistics support", says air force chief Air Chief Marshal Imam Sufaat.

Apart from the C-27Js, the service is also reportedly considering the Airbus Military C-295 that is licence-produced in Bandung by state-owned Indonesian Aerospace.

"We also need a middle transport fleet. This could be met with the procurement of C-27J Spartans. A CN-235 has the capacity to transport about three tonnes of load while a Spartan is able to carry a load of up to 10 tonnes," the air force chief adds.

The service is focused on the purchase of transport aircraft due to an anticipated increase of military operations in the next five years, he adds.

Alenia is waiting for the air force to provide information on the number of aircraft needed and delivery schedule before it offers its aircraft.

"Indonesia has a need for transport aircraft. Of course this is of interest for Alenia Aeronautica, as we believe that the C-27J tactical transport aircraft can meet these requirements. We believe that their requirement could be quite urgent: air mobility is certainly crucial for a country like Indonesia," adds the Finmeccanica subsidiary.

In addition to Fokker F-27s and CN-235s, the Indonesian air force also operates de Havilland Canada DHC-5s, Lockheed Martin C-130 Hercules and Lockheed L-100s, Fokker F-28s and Airbus Military C-212s for its military airlift and transport.

The C-27J is operated or has been ordered by several air forces around the world, including Bulgaria, Ghana, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Morocco, Romania and Slovakia. The US Air Force and US Army also operate the type as the Joint Cargo Aircraft.

India has issued a request for information for 16 medium military transport aircraft, to which Alenia has responded. Taiwan is also looking to buy the C-27J as well.

No Eurofighter sale talks with Indonesia: Britain



(AFP) – 1 day ago
JAKARTA — Britain on Wednesday denied reports that it was in talks with Indonesia about selling the country Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft.
The Times newspaper earlier this month reported that Jakarta had informally approached Britain over the potential acquisition of up to 24 warplanes, worth around 5 billion pounds ($8.1 billion dollars) in total.
The previous Labour government banned defence exports to Indonesia in 1999 amid claims it had used British-made Hawk aircraft to bomb civilians in East Timor.
"There is no discussion at the moment with Indonesia about the Typhoon," minister for international security strategy Gerald Howarth told AFP at the Jakarta International Defence Dialogue summit.
But he he did not rule out the possibility of forging future defence deals with Indonesia.
"I should be exploring any specific interest that the Indonesians may have," he said at the three day meeting, which opened Wednesday.
Human rights group Amnesty International accuses Indonesia of rights violations including police torture and restrictions on the media.
Eurofighters were grounded in several countries last year due to problems with ejector seats after a crash killed a Saudi pilot.

Indonesia set to purchase 16 T-50 jets April 11, 2011

Indonesia will buy 16 T-50 Golden Eagle trainers from Korea next year to beef up the country’s Air Force capabilities, an Indonesian newspaper reported yesterday. Quoting Indonesian Air Force chief of staff Marshall Imam Sufaat, the newspaper Seputar Indonesia reported that the military will form a squadron with 16 T-50 jets. Built by Korea Aerospace Industries, the T-50 Golden Eagles are Korea’s first indigenous supersonic jets and one of the world’s few supersonic trainers. Seoul has tried to find buyers for the advanced jets, but no progress was made due to its expensive price tag. Seoul and Jakarta have been negotiating the sales since last year. Reports were made in Korea last month that the long-cherished deal to sell the jets to Indonesia was virtually in the bag. Indonesia will purchase 16 aircraft for a total price of $400 million, a Blue House official was quoted as saying. The Ministry of National Defense said yesterday that it has no new information about the deal’s progress, adding that the final decision is yet to be informed from Jakarta.
