Indonesia to ink defense agreement with Japan

The Defense Ministry confirmed on Friday that it would soon sign a defense cooperation treaty with Japan.

“Japan and Indonesia have agreed to cooperate in the defense sector. We’re still waiting for the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding [MoU],” Defense Ministry spokesman Brig. Gen. Djundan Eko Bintoro told The Jakarta Post on Friday.

Djundan said that the two countries had agreed to work together in several fields including humanitarian assistance, disaster prevention and mitigation and cyber defense.

In disaster prevention and mitigation, under the planned agreement Japan is expected to offer Indonesia amphibious aircraft and early warning system technology.

Djundan said that teams from both countries had almost wrapped up their work on the details of the planned agreement.

“Details from the cooperation have been agreed but it has yet to be signed. We still don’t know when it will be signed actually,” Djundan said without elaborating.

Unconfirmed reports said that the draft of the MoU between Indonesia and Japan had yet to be signed because of a Cabinet reshuffle in Japan and stormy political weather in Indonesia.

The draft itself has been ready since last year.

Last week, Indonesian Ambassador to Japan Yusron Ihza Mahendra met with Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu to discuss details of the cooperation.

During the meeting, Yusron told Ryamizard that Japan had a new law that would allow for a transfer of technology from Japanese strategic industry to Indonesia under an umbrella cooperation agreement.

Yusron hinted that the signing of the agreement would be conducted during President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s upcoming visit to Japan, which is scheduled for between March and April.

“If the MoU on defense cooperation can be signed, it would be good for the development of Indonesia’s defense and economy,” said Yusron.

He also opined that the defense partnership could improve Indonesia’s diplomatic standing both in the region and at the international level.

Yusron said that under the defense cooperation agreement, Indonesia could also import armaments and defense instruments from Japan.

“This would be a huge opportunity. For instance, Indonesian plane-maker PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) may establish joint cooperation in research, production and capital. Cooperation in the defense sector would have a very good atmosphere,” Yusron said, as quoted by Xinhua news agency.

The Japanese government eased its stance on defense equipment transfer principles in April last year, allowing arms exports under certain circumstances.

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, whom many consider a defense hawk, Japan has embarked on an overhaul of its national security strategy.

In an historic step, his Cabinet last year approved the export of military equipment and conducted a legal review that concluded Japan had the right to deploy its military power abroad to protect its citizens and defend allies under attack.

In 2015, Indonesia and Japan will celebrate the 57th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic relations and the 42nd anniversary of the ASEAN-Japan relationship.

The House of Representatives has previously expressed support for the Defense Ministry’s cooperation with Pakistan and East Timor by ratifying a legal umbrella for such cooperation.

The ratification allows Indonesia to improve joint military training, exchange intelligence information and trade weapons with the two countries. - See more at: http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2015/02/14/indonesia-ink-defense-agreement-with-japan.html#sthash.Kl95Vrgf.dpuf

Russia ready to transfer Sukhoi technologies to RI

Citation :

Russia reiterated its readiness on Thursday to comply with the transfer-of-technology scheme required by Indonesia should the latter opt to buy Russian-made Sukhoi Su-35 jet fighters to modernize its air force.

“I talked to Indonesian Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu a couple of months ago. We are fully aware of Indonesian government regulations on transfer-of-technology and industrial-offset schemes,” Russian Ambassador to Indonesia Mikhail Galuzin told journalists at his residence in South Jakarta.

“We are ready and open for further discussion with our Indonesian partners on the feasibility of procuring Su-35s,” the 54-year-old diplomat added.

The statements came amid fierce competition from the world’s top jet fighter producers to supply replacements for the Indonesian Air Force’s (TNI-AU) ageing F-5 E/F Tiger IIs.

Last week, Spanish Ambassador to Indonesia Francisco José Viqueira Niel claimed that Eurofighter Typhoon jet fighters were the best choice for Indonesia to modernize its air force when it comes to technical capabilities and the transfer of technology.

The Eurofighter consortium involves four countries, namely Spain, Germany, Italy and the UK.

Another strong contender is the single-engine Swedish-built SAAB Gripe; the Flanker and Typhoon are both twin-engine jet fighters.

But Galuzin talked up Russia’s military aircraft technology, claiming it was among the best in the world.

This year, he added, Russia would host three international military events to showcase its advanced military technologies and capabilities.

In June, the Russian Defense Ministry will host the “ARMY-2015”, an international military technical forum. About a month later, St. Petersburg will exhibit the 2015 International Maritime Defence Show.

“In August, the MAKS 2015, or the 12th International Aviation and Space Salon, will be held in Moscow,” Galuzin said.

Currently, the TNI AU operates a mixed fleet of single-seater Su-27s and double-seater Su-30s in the 11th squadron based at Sultan Hasanuddin Air Force Base in Makassar, South Sulawesi.

In January, 2015, Indonesian Defense Ministry spokesperson Col. Djundan Eko Bintoro said that, during Galuzin’s meeting with Ryamizard, the envoy had also offered Kilo Class Type 636 submarines and Mi-17 helicopters to bolster the Indonesia’s maritime defense system.

Indonesia deploy sukhoi on thunder repellent operation - (d)


Jumat, 13 Maret 2015 16:38 WIB | 645 Views
Biak, Papua (ANTARA News) - Some four Sukhoi Su-27 aircraft from Makassar Air base have been deployed on the "Tangkis Petir" (Thunder Repellent) training operation in the fourth sector of the National Air Defense area in Biak Numfor district, Papua.

The training operation began on March 12, 2015, will conclude on March 31, 2015.

The Chief of the fourth command sector First Marshall Fachri Adamy said the routine operation that will cover aerial space from Ambon to Papua has been aimed at increasing the efficiency of its men in guarding the national aerial space.

"Through the Tangkis Petir operation, our Air Force personnel can gather more experience and guard Indonesia, from Sabang to Merauke, more efficiently," Fachri noted.

Fachri expressed hope that the training operation will go as planned. He revealed that an aviation expo has also been organized at Manuhua Biak Air Base.

"The aviation expo will encourage Papuan youths to learn more about the duties of Indonesian Air Force personnel and how they guard Indonesias air space, particularly in provinces such as Papua, West Papua, and Maluku," Fachri remarked.

Meanwhile, Commander of Manuhua Biak Airbase Gustav Brugman invited people in Biak to visit the aviation expo.

"The expo that has Sukhoi jet fighters on display can ignite childrens curiosity about the duties of Indonesian Air Force men," Gustav noted.

The Indonesian Air Force has several jet fighters, such as Sukhoi Su-27, Su-30Mk, T-50 Golden Eagle, F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-5 E Tiger, and Hawk MK109, to guard the countrys air space.

The Air Force also has four radars in the eastern region: They are the 242 Radar Unit in Biak, 243 Radar Unit in Timika, 244 Radar Unit in Merauke, and 245 Radar Unit Saumlaki in South East Maluku.(*)

Indonesia not ready to take over airspace from



Transportation Minister Ignasius Jonan insisted on Friday that Indonesia was not ready to take over the management of airspace above Riau and Riau Islands provinces from Singapore because of limited resources and the huge investment needed to do so.

“It [the takeover of the airspace] is a safety issue. We will take it over when we are ready, but currently we are not ready,” he said in Batam, Riau Islands.

Jonan’s statement was a reversal of what officials at the Transportation Ministry had said during Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s presidency, that the takeover would go ahead.

The takeover of the Flight Information Region (FIR) was mandated by Law No. 1/2009 on aviation but Jonan said it could be sidelined when it came to aviation safety.

“FIR management is not a sovereignty matter but it is about flight safety. I have asked AirNav to prepare itself,” the minister said referring to the state-owned Indonesian Flight Navigation Service, also known as AirNav Indonesia

Jonan elaborated by saying that airspace over Timor Leste and Christmas Island were under Indonesian control.

He said that air navigational equipment, large investment and human-resource preparation, all of which would take time, were needed before Indonesia could take over the FIR above Riau and Riau Island

“We are not afraid of Singaporean control. But it would be dangerous for flight safety [to take over] without proper preparation,” Jonan said.

An FIR is a specified region of airspace in which flight information and alert services (ALRS) are provided. The world’s airspace is divided into specific blocks of FIR.

A smaller country’s airspace is often encompassed by a single FIR and those of larger countries may be subdivided into a number of regional FIRs.

Singapore has been controlling part of Indonesia’s airspace since 1946, or a year after Indonesia gained its independence. Singapore controls an airspace of up to 110 nautical miles in radius, encompassing Batam, Natuna and Dumai in Riau.

As this airspace is included in Singapore’s FIR, Indonesia does not have absolute authority over it, depriving the country of income from route charges imposed on aircraft passing through the airspace.

Patrols conducted by the Indonesian Air Force and Navy in the territory must also be guided by Singapore. Moreover, the city-state sets its air traffic control (ATC) based on its own interests, thereby hampering Indonesia’s activity in the area.

Last month, the Air Force urged the government to take over control of the Riau and Riau Islands FIR to help achieve President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s maritime-axis vision.

Air Force chief of staff Air Chief Marshal Agus Supriatna said the takeover was very important in ensuring a strong Air Force for the maritime-axis program, adding that it was high time for the Air Force to assert supremacy in Indonesian airspace.

According to the military, Natuna is a very strategic area for Indonesia because it is an outer border between Indonesia and the South China Sea.

The military also said the takeover was in accordance with several existing laws: Law No. 1/ 2009 on aviation, Articles 1 and 2 of the 1944 Chicago Convention on FIR, the 1982 convention on international sea law and Law No. 43/2008 on state authority.

Law No. 1/2009 on aviation stipulates that airspace above Indonesia must be controlled by the Indonesian government and that Indonesia should take back airspace controlled by a foreign party, but the law has not been followed up with government action.

According to the directorate general of civil aviation, Indonesia should control all air space above its territory by 2024, but the takeover could happen sooner.

It is reported that Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia have discussed the issue a number of times since 1993, but Indonesia has failed to take over the airspace as a result of weak lobbying on the part of the government. - See more at: http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2015/03/14/indonesia-not-ready-take-over-airspace-singapore.html#sthash.NWXwSXFs.dpuf

Le ministre indonésien baptise le navire d'Océa

Cérémonie officielle en l'honneur du plus gros bateau jamais construit par le chantier sablais, hier matin sur le port. Un contrat à 100 millions de dollars.



Pas de champagne mais une théière lancée contre la coque. Les Indonésiens avaient supervisé le protocole, hier matin pour le baptême de leur nouveau bateau, le Kri Rigel. Un navire océanographique de 60 mètres, le plus important jamais construit par les chantiers Océa, destiné à la marine de ce pays aux 17 000 îles.

Depuis quelques mois, les rendez-vous officiels se succèdent, au siège de l'entreprise, à la Cabaude. Après la mise à l'eau du bateau mi-décembre, et l'inauguration de nouveaux locaux à l'issue d'un chantier à 15 millions d'euros, c'était, hier, la prise de possession par l'équipage.

« Une telle cérémonie, c'est une fierté, glisse un responsable. Et avec un côté si solennel, c'est sans doute une première. » L'entreprise, qui emploie 290 personnes sur quatre sites dans la région, réalise une très grande partie de ses 70 millions d'euros de chiffre d'affaires à l'exportation. Elle vend ses bateaux en alu et ultramodernes partout dans le monde.

Diverses personnalités étaient présentes, sous surveillance policière discrète. Le ministre indonésien de la Défense, Ryamizard Ryacudu, son chef d'état-major de la marine, Ade Supandi. L'équipage du navire : une quarantaine de marins, installés en Vendée depuis début janvier. Formés par Océa et le Shom, le service hydrographique et océanographique de la marine, dans le cadre du contrat. Les trois enseignants séjourneront ensuite deux ans en Indonésie, pour poursuivre l'accompagnement. Au programme, conduite du navire et, surtout, utilisation des équipements ultramodernes de ce bateau militaire et scientifique, capable d'assurer diverses missions. Surveillance, sécurité, défense et observation des fonds en haute mer.

Un robot télécommandé

« Il dispose notamment d'un AUV, petit sous-marin autonome que nous n'avons pas en France, regarde Patrice Laporte, chef de développement au Shom. Cela permet des observations plus rapprochées, de meilleure qualité. Avec un rendement plus important. » Le bateau, armé de canons et de mitrailleuses, est aussi équipé d'un robot télécommandé, d'une vedette et d'équipements de laboratoire.

Après de nouveaux essais en mer, dont une sortie programmée ce jeudi au large des Sables, le Kri Rigel devrait prendre la direction de l'Asie fin mars. Dans ce contrat à 100 millions de dollars, remporté après appel d'offres, figurait aussi la construction d'un « sistership ». Il devrait être terminé cet été, avec un nouveau baptême dans la foulée.

France Ready to Give RI Technology Transfer

26 Maret 2015


Dassault Aviation Rafale (all photos : Okezone)  

France asserted on Wednesday that it was willing to provide an industrial cooperation with Indonesia should the Dassault Rafale jet fighter be selected to modernize the Indonesian Air Force.

French Ambassador to Indonesia Corinne Breuzé said that France was open to all cooperation possibilities involving French aircraft maker Dassault Aviation and state-owned aircraft maker PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PT DI).

“With the support of the French government, Dassault is open to any possibility of partnerships and transfer technology,” she said in a prepared statement.

Other than technology transfer, she said that being 100 percent French, the Rafale would allow its users independence. “It is designed with Safran/Snecma for the engine, Thales for the avionics and MBDA for the armament,” she said.



Breuzé was speaking at an event to introduce the French jet fighter to the Indonesian public, at the Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force Base in East Jakarta.

She said that the decision to bring the Rafale to Jakarta, despite a high level of operational engagement especially in Iraq, was made by the French defense minister and air force following a courtesy call from Indonesian Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu, who met his French counterpart Jean-Yves Le Drian on March 10.

Ryamizard also visited the Rafale’s assembly line in Bordeaux-Merignac during the March visit.

Two Rafale jet fighters, a Rafale B double-seater and a Rafale C single-seater, arrived on Monday from the just-concluded 2015 Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace (LIMA) exhibition in Malaysia.



On Tuesday, the jet fighters performed three flights for Indonesian Air Force pilots who flew on the Rafale B, taking the back seat.

There was also a solo aerobatic display performed by Capt. Benoit Blanche of the French Air Force.

The Rafale is a latecomer in the competition to replace the aging American-made F-5 E/F Tiger II operated by the Indonesian Air Force.

The French jet fighter is facing tough competition, locking horns with a stable of other contenders including the Russian-made Sukhoi Su-35, American-made F-16 Block 60, Swedish-made Saab JAS-39 Gripen and the Eurofighter Typhoon, a collaboration between Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK.



The Indonesian Air Force has repeatedly said it prefers the Su-35, the latest iteration of the Flanker family of jet fighters, although the final decision will be made by the Defense Ministry.

Meanwhile, Dassault Aviation executive vice president for America, Africa and Asia military sales JPHP Chabriol told The Jakarta Post that the best example of French will to transfer technology was India, which selected the Rafale.

He said that from an order of 126 units, 18 were supposed to be produced in France and the rest to be produced locally by Indian industries through progressive transfer of technology.

“From French authorities’ point of view as well as from French industry, there is no limitation to transfer technologies of the Rafale to friendly foreign countries,” he said.

“The only constraints we have are linked to the budgetary aspect, good sense and cost efficiency.”



He said Dassault and all associated French companies were quite open to discussions with Indonesian actors to set up a program that suited Indonesian requirements.

“We are not imposing anything; we are ready for discussion to define what is the optimized scheme of transfer of technology in the framework of the Rafale bid,” Chabriol said.

Other than technology transfer, Chabriol emphasized that Indonesia would get total independence if it selected the Rafale because, as it is a 100-percent French product, Indonesia would not have to deal with a third party.

Another advantage of buying the Rafale, he added, was that it could be deployed with very minimal logistical support.

Russia, Indonesia begin talks on Sukhoi Su-35 deliveries
17:16 April 7, 2015 Interfax

Indonesia has taken an interest in buying Russia's brand new multirole fighter jet Sukhoi Su-35, United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) head Yuri Slyusar told Interfax in Ho Chi Minh City on Tuesday.
"Indonesian colleagues are interested in buying this plane. The negotiations are at their beginning," Slyusar said.
It was reported earlier that the Indonesian Air Force wished to replace outdated U.S. fighters F5 by Russian multirole fighters of generation 4++ Sukhoi Su-35.
"Hopefully, the national government will grant our wish to buy Sukhoi Su-35 fighters. As combat aircraft operators, we would like to have fighters of a more advanced generation, 4++," the Indonesian state news agency ANTARA quoted Air Chief Marshal Agus Supriatna as saying.
In his words, Sukhoi Su-35 aircraft fully meet the Indonesian Air Force demand for armaments. Supriatna said he was not expecting Indonesian technicians to have problems servicing those aircraft.
The eleventh squadron of the Indonesian Air Force is flying five one-seat Sukhoi Su-27SK and eleven two-seat Su-30MK2.
Sukhoi Su-35 was designed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau. It is a profoundly modernized super-maneuverable multirole fighter jet of generation 4++ employing fifth-generation technologies which makes it superior to other jets in its class.
Su-35 boasts new avionics based on a digital data control system, a new radar station with phased antenna array, a longer range of target detection and a bigger number of simultaneously locked and engaged targets, and new engines with bigger thrust and thrust-vector control.
In the opinion of experts, Su-35 has much better performance characteristics compared to other jets in its class, and its avionic systems are capable of accomplishing broader missions. The plane is superior to all tactical fighter of generations 4 and 4+ Rafale and EF 2000 and modernized fighters F-15, F-16, F-18 and F-35. It can also counteract F-22A.
The primary buyer of the new fighter jet is the Russian Defense Ministry, which signed a contract for the procurement of 48 Su-35 fighters in 2009.

Indonesian air force F-16 jet catches fire on take-off

Citation :

JAKARTA (AFP) - An Indonesian fighter jet caught fire just before take-off on Thursday, prompting the pilot to jump to safety as flames and thick smoke engulfed the plane, officials said. 

The pilot escaped with minor injuries and is now being treated in hospital after leaping from the blazing F-16 aircraft, which was about to take off from an airbase in the capital Jakarta.

“As the aircraft was about to take off, there was a fire in the engine, and the pilot straight away decided to abort the flight,” air force chief of staff Agus Supriatna said on news channel MetroTV.  “The pilot was rushed to hospital but he is conscious,” he added. 

Military spokesman Fuad Basya said the airman suffered a minor injury as he jumped from the cockpit.  He said an investigation into the incident had been launched.

Rheinmetall successfully passes acceptance tests for Leopard 2 simulators for the Indonesian Army




(PresseBox) (Düsseldorf, 22.04.2015)  Within 15 months after contract award Rheinmetall has produced state-of-the-art driving simulator and gunnery simulator systems for training Indonesian Leopard 2 personnel. The order is worth several million euros.

The Leopard Gunnery Skills Trainer (LGST) and Driver Training Simulator (DTS) are specifically designed for training Leopard 2A4 tank crews, and will primarily be used for sharpening the gunnery and combat skills of commanders, gunners and drivers.

Rheinmetall's ultramodern TacSi technology features prominently in these simulators. Furthermore, as a leading supplier of defence technology systems, the Group is able to draw on its unsurpassed knowledge of the Leopard 2 and longstanding competence in the field of simulation, now coupled with the advantages offered by serious gaming technologies. As a result, Rheinmetall simulation products combine the virtues of the game engine in regard to visualization with the high-quality training outcomes its simulators assure.

During March 2015 a delegation of Indonesia conducted the factory acceptance test (FAT) at Rheinmetall and both simulators passed them successfully. The delivery and installation of simulators will begin soon to complete the project in time.

This contract and its rapid progress explain once again the global trust placed in Rheinmetall's simulation technology and main battle tank expertise.

The Indonesian Navy's (Tentara Nasional Indonesia - Angkatan Laut, or TNI-AL's) new 60 m offshore support vessel (OSV) arrived in Indonesian territorial waters on 6 May, the service has announced.

The vessel, KRI Rigel (pennant number 933), is the first of two new OSVs ordered from French shipbuilder OCEA SA under a USD100 million contract signed in October 2013. Rigel was received by the TNI-AL's two Kapitan Pattimura (Parchim I)-class corvettes, KRI Sutanto (377) and KRI Wiratno (379), as it approached Rondo Island near the northern tip of Sumatra.

Besides maritime surveillance and oceanographic equipment, Rigel is also armed with one 20 mm and two 12.7 mm guns. According to specifications provided by OCEA, the 500-tonne OSVs have a top speed of 16 kt and can accommodate 30 crew and six embarked personnel.

The TNI-AL has said that it plans to deploy the OSVs to collect underwater topographical data that will support defence-related tasks, although no specific information on the hydrographic equipment installed has been released.

The Indonesian Ministry of Defense (MoD) has held a handover ceremony for an indigenously produced landing ship tank (LST) vessel, dubbed the 'leopard carrier' by the Indonesian Navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia - Angkatan Laut, or TNI-AL). The ceremony took place on 17 June.

The vessel, KRI Teluk Bintuni (520), had in fact been commissioned into the TNI-AL's Military Sea Lift Command (KOLINLAMIL) in a ceremony presided over by then Indonesian defence minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro in September 2014.

IHS Jane's understands that the LST returned to the shipbuilder PT Daya Radar Utama (PT DRU) for more work, following the commissioning.

According to specifications provided by the shipbuilder, Teluk Bintuni has a top speed of 16 kt and can accommodate up to 120 crew. The 5,200-tonne LST has a length of 120 m, a beam of 18 m, and a draft of 3 m.

Teluk Bintuni is powered by two South Korean-built STX MAN 9L27/38 engines, each rated at 3,285 kW at 800 rpm.

Its payload is around 2,300 tonnes, which translates to 18 Leopard 2A4 main battle tanks, one armoured bridgelaying vehicle, and a transporter; alternatively, this payload capacity enables the LST to carry 15 BMP-3F infantry fighting vehicles instead.

To facilitate rapid vehicle loading and unloading, the LST has a 90-tonne turntable supplied by PT Pinmarine, which has also supplied other deck equipment such as cranes.

As well as its crew, the LST can carry around 350 troops. The ship also can embark one medium helicopter, according to PT DRU. It is armed with a single 40 mm Bofors L70 gun, a 20 mm cannon, and two heavy machine guns.
