- First AV8 Gempita infantry fighting vehicle IFV-25 variant for Malaysian army for end of 2015.
The Malyasian army expects the dlivery of the first AV8 Gempita 8x8 armoured fighting vehicle in IFV-25 version to be completed at the end of 2015 or in early 2016, according to Malaysian Army Chief General Raja Mohamed Affandi Raja Mohamed Noor.
The DefTech AV8 Gempita (Thunder) is an amphibious multirole armoured vehicle developed by Malaysian defence vehicle company DefTech based on the FNSS Pars.
In June 2011, the Turkish Company FNSS signed a ‘letter of offer and acceptance’ by DRB-Hicom Defence Technologies (DefTech) for the design, development and manufacture of the vehicles. The AV8 vehicle selected by the Malaysian military was based on the FNSS-designed Pars 8×8 multi-purpose, multi-mission, wheeled armoured vehicle. The contract included technology transfer arrangements to Deftech and logistics support for the Malaysian army, positioning the vehicle and its 12 variants to become Malaysia’s first indigenous family of 8×8 armoured wheeled vehicle.
In 2011, a contract for 257 units of AV-8 was awarded to DRB-Hicom Deftech by the government of Malaysia. FNSS Savunma Sistemleri AS (Turkey) was the main contractor to assist Deftech in design, development & manufacture Deftech AV-8 for Malaysian Army.
The AV8 will be delivered in 12 variants. A total of 178 AV8s will have an APC configuration with 30-mm or 25-mm turret, or 12.7-mm remotely controlled weapon station. Other versions include armored surveillance vehicle with battlefield radar and mast mounted sensors (24), command vehicles (13), armored ambulances (9), armored recovery vehicles (9), maintenance vehicles (9), 120-mm mortar carriers ( , engineering and NBC reconnaissance vehicles (4) and signals vehicles (3).
The IFV-25 AV8 Gempita variant is fitted with a one-man FNSS Sharpshooter turret armed with a stabilised ATK Armament Systems M242 25 mm dual-feed cannon and an FN MAG 58M 7.62 mm co-axial machine gun (MG). Of the 257 vehicle order of 12 variants, 46 vehicles will be in this configuration.
The IFV-25 variant was unveiled for the first time to the public during the Defense Exhibition DSA 2014, in April 2014.

When November Comes..
SHAH ALAM: MALAYSIA is expected to sign for at least eight MD-530G light attack scout helicopter in late November. The helicopters to be operated jointly by the RMAF and the Army are expected to be deployed in ESSCOM once delivered.
Industry sources told Malaysian Defence, officials were working feverishly to ensure that the signing ceremony could be held in November when Malaysia is scheduled to host the East Asia summit.
However, if the agreement could not be worked out for the signing ceremony this November, the deal could be made official at the DSA 2016 exhibition next April.
Apart from the MD530G, Boeing AH-6i and ex-US Army Kiowa Warriors were also considered to fulfill the Light Scout Attack Helicopter requirement.
It is not known what type of weapons are to be procured for the Little Birds. According to MD Helicopters, the MH-530G could be fitted with a range of weapons systems from the Dillon Aero M134D minigun, the FN Herstal 50 caliber Heavy Machine Gune Pod or the Heavy Machine Rocket Gun Pod, the Talon guided rockets and the Hellfire ATGM. The helicopter could also be fitted with personnel carrying rig.
It is expected that the Little Bird version to be procured is the same as the example displayed at LIMA 2015 earlier this year.
Among others, the MD 530G displayed at LIMA featured the 650 shp Rolls Royce 250-C30 engine, longer main-rotor blades, high-capacity landing gear, the Moog Stores Management System (SMS), Harris Corporation’s RF-7850A-UA tactical radio and the Thales’ Scorpion helmet-mounted cueing system.
It also featured the Mace Aviation Extended Range Weapons Wing(ER2W), FN Herstal Machine Gun Pods and Rocket Machine Pods, Dillon Aero M134D-H Mini-Gun, the L-3 Wescam MX-10, and M260 rocket pod with TALON laser-guided rockets.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – EPI (Europrop International) and the Malaysia Ministry of Defence have signed a Letter of Acceptance (LOA) for a two-year contract for the support of TP400 turboprop engines powering the four Airbus A400M military transports ordered by the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF). This is the first export support contract for the TP400.
According to the terms of this contract, EPI will provide technical support services and spare parts management for a total of 18 TP400 engines. A team of three technicians will provide local support at the main operating base in Subang provided through GTA (Global Turbine Asia), a Malaysian Safran subsidiary.
"It is a pleasure to officially launch the TP400 In-Service Support contract. We look forward to a positive and dynamic relationship with EPI over the two years of this contract and the subsequent years ahead" said a senior representative of the Ministry of Defense.
Ricardo Navarro, Director of In-Service Support EPI said: "We are honoured to continue our great partnership with the RMAF and especially for what is the first direct engine support contract for EPI. We will bring all of our expertise in order to help them to make the most of the great potential of their A400M with TP400 engines.
Malaysia, the first export customer for the Airbus A400M, took delivery of its first aircraft on March 13th, 2015. The TP400 engines have been installed on the RMAF's second A400M that is currently undergoing customer acceptance at the Airbus facility in Seville.
EPI Europrop International GmbH was created by four leading European aero-engine companies (Industria de Turbo Propulsores, MTU Aero Engines, Rolls-Royce and Snecma [Safran]) to manage the TP400 engine program.
Designed to power the Airbus A400M military transport, the TP400 is the most powerful turboshaft engine in the West. It features a three-shaft configuration and will deliver maximum power output of 11,000 shaft horsepower.

- MD Helicopters Inc to supply six MD 530G Scout attack helicopters to Malaysia
Feb 2, 2016
MD Helicopters Inc (MDHI) won a bid to supply six MD 530G light scout attack helicopters to Malaysia’s Ministry of Defence.
MDHI will deliver the launch helicopters to Malaysian Army Aviation, or Pasukan Udara Tentera Darat (PUTD), beginning in the fourth quarter of 2016, with the full fleet to deliver by the end of first quarter of 2017.
The first official debut of MD530G Scout Attack helicopter was at LIMA 2015. The MD 530G is the latest in a lineage that spans more than 50 years of scout attack evolution. The journey began in 1963 with the introduction of the OH-6A by Hughes Aircraft Division. In 1985, the performance continued with the certification of the MD530F. Born from the MD530F airframe, the MD 530G is the next model in a line of purpose-driven scout attack helicopters.
The Malaysian Army’s fleet of MD 530G helicopters will include a custom weapons package, advanced communications capabilities, and state of the art EO/IR to detect, identify, and engage a wide range of threats.

- David Ing, Madrid and Ridzwan Rahmat, Singapore - IHS Jane's Navy International
20 March 2016
Thales España has won a contract to supply six Fulmar unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) units to the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA).
An official confirmed to IHS Jane's on 21 March that the UAVs will be operated from its six new 44 m coastal patrol vessels. These ships were ordered under a MYR380 million (USD93.3 million) contract signed with local shipbuilder Destination Marine Services (DMS) in 2015. The MMEA has always intended for these patrol vessels to embark a UAV capability.
A Thales España spokesperson IHS Jane's spoke to on 17 March declined to give further details on the contract, but acknowledged that the UAV has been going through a series of tests. The system is due for delivery by the end of 2016.
The Fulmar UAV has a 3 m wingspan and a length of 1.2 m, and is made from carbon fibre materials. Designed primarily to support intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) roles, it has an endurance of up to 12 hours, can be flown at altitudes of up to 4,000 m (13,123 ft), has a cruising speed of 100 kph, and can carry a payload of up to 8 kg. The UAS is fitted also with a heavy fuel motor that is understood to help reduce generated noise and enables it to fly at low level (thus reducing risk to the system). It can be operated via a ground control system (GCS) that supports the operation of up to three UAVs in tandem and allows control of the UAVs to switch from one ground station to another, enabling simultaneous use in land and sea environments.

- Malaysian armed forces conducts starstreak firing trial ahead of system’s service entry
Apr 1, 2016
The Malaysian Armed Forces carried out a live firing exercise on March 28 with the Thales Starstreak missile as part of its preparation for the 2018 service entry of the Starstreak Lightweight Multiple Launcher – Next Generation (LML-NG).
The firing took place at the Tanjung Logok Ground to Air Firing Range located in Peninsular Malaysia on the east coast of the southern state of Johor, with a total of three missiles fired by composite teams drawn from the Malaysian Army’s 32nd Royal Artillery Regiment, the Royal Malaysian Navy’s Base Air Defence Unit, and the Royal Malaysian Air Force’s 401 GBAD (Ground Base Air Defence) Squadron. The missiles were fired at a Meggitt BTT-3 Banshee target drone, with two firings declared as hits. A fourth launch was called off due to time constraints.
The live missiles had only arrived in Malaysia on 25 March and no live firing practice had been carried out prior to the event. Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein, who was observing the exercise, told a media conference there that the live missiles formed part of the GBP100 million (USD142 million) Starstreak contract that Malaysia formally ratified on 15 September last year at the DSEI exhibition in London. Under the contract Malaysia’s stock of phased-out Starburst missiles were exchanged for Starstreak rounds for the Malaysian armed forces to use for practice firings. The minister did not disclose the number of missiles exchanged.
The last of Malaysia’s Starburst systems, operated by all three services, were phased out from the RMAF’s two GBAD squadrons in 2013.
During a briefing held prior to the firing, it was stated that a total of 26 personnel had so far been trained on the Starstreak system at a Thales facility in the United Kingdom. Additional Starstreak firings are scheduled for October at Tanjung Logok.
Malaysia’s Starstreak contract, which covers an undisclosed number of launchers, also includes the Starstreak/Rapid Ranger system and the LML-NG system’s integration onto a Global Komited Toyota-based 4×4 GKM1 light utility vehicle.

- DSA 2016: Malaysia selects Rohde & Schwarz to supply communication systems for SGPV-LCS
Ridzwan Rahmat, Kuala Lumpur - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
19 April 2016
The Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) has selected a Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP)-based communication system from Rohde & Schwarz for its class of six Second Generation Patrol Vessel - Littoral Combat Ships (SGPV-LCS), the company announced at the DSA 2016 exhibition in Kuala Lumpur on 19 April.
The SGPV-LCS vessels are currently under construction at Malaysian state-owned company Boustead Naval Shipyard.
"Adopting IP-based technologies is an important step for modern naval communications," said RMN chief Admiral Ahmad Kamarulzaman, in a statement on the contract. He added that the adoption of the system, known as R&S NAVICS, puts the RMN in step with the latest digital computing and communications technology.
