Malaysia publicly agrees to buy 12 EC725s, also wants attack helicopters
By Leithen Francis
Malaysia has publicly agreed to buy 12 Eurocopter EC725 combat search and rescue helicopters and is in the early stages of looking for attack helicopters.
At this week’s Defence Services Asia (DSA) show in Kuala Lumpur, the country’s defence minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi signed a letter-of-acceptance for the EC725s, which will be delivered in 2012 and 2013.
He told local news media that the plan is to sign a final contract when prime minister Najib Abdul Razak returns from overseas and the cabinet has a chance to meet and sign off on the deal.
The Royal Malaysian Air Force is also trying to have a requirement for attack helicopters included in the country’s next five-year plan, say industry sources.
At DSA, Eurocopter had a scale model of its Tiger attack helicopter on display next to a scale model of the EC725.
Sikorsky was promoting its armed S-70 Black Hawk at the show and highlighting how the helicopter has interior kits so it can be used for multiple roles. For example, it can be re-configured to be a VIP transport, medical evacuation, reconnaissance team insertion or troop transport helicopter.
Sikorsky was also promoting its upgrade package for the S-61 Nuri helicopter that includes new rotor blades and a replacement avionics system from Rockwell Collins that includes four flat-panel digital displays.
The EC725s will replace some of the air force’s 20 Nuris, the first of which was received in 1968.
Malaysia originally planned to phase out all its S-61s, but budget constraints mean it plans to retain and upgrade at least 15 of them, say industry sources.
At DSA, Finmeccanica company Selex Galileo was pitching to get its systems included in the Nuri upgrade programme. It was also promoting its airborne tactical observation and surveillance system to meet Malaysia’s requirement for maritime patrol aircraft.
The air force is seeking to buy four maritime patrol aircraft, with Selex Galileo’s sister company Alenia Aeronautica in the running with its ATR 42MP. However, Indonesian Aerospace (IAe) is understood to be the front-runner in the competition with the CN-235.
If IAe wins the contract, Selex Galileo could still be contracted to provide the ATOS mission system, which has already been integrated with the CN-235 for customers including Ecuador.

- Royal Malaysian Navy Orders DCNS Scorpene-class Submarine Simulator
18:22 GMT, April 21, 2010 Yesterday, DCNS signed a contract with the Royal Malaysian Navy on the sale of a submarine simulator for Scorpene-class submarines as well as for associated services providing full crew training for navigation security and weapon systems handling and covering sensors and operations requiring the use of the periscope.
This contract, with an estimated value of 128 million Malaysian ringgit (approx. €27 million), underlines the continuing co-operation between the Royal Malaysian Navy and DCNS within the framework of the Scorpene programme.
In 2002, Malaysia ordered two Scorpene-class submarines. The first vessel of this class, the Tunku Abdul Rahman which arrived in Malaysia on 3 September 2009, currently carries out trials in tropical waters as well as of its weapon systems off the coast of Sabah. The second Scorpene-class submarine, christened Tun Razak, is scheduled to be delivered to Malaysia in July.

- DSA 2010: RM10 billion defence contracts signed
KUALA LUMPUR: The government this morning signed agreements for the procurement of defence equipment and spare parts worth more than RM10.4 billion.
The biggest deal was for the Letter of Intent (LOI) to DRB-Hicom Defence Technologies Sdn Bhd for the development, manufacture, supply and delivery of 8X8 Armoured Personnel Carrier for the Malaysian Army (RM8 billion).

$500M Vehicle Sale Would Set Turk Export Record
ANKARA - A preliminary agreement to sell 250 armored personnel carriers to the Malaysian Army would be the Turkish defense industry's largest single export deal, a senior Turkish procurement official said May 6.
The letter of intent was signed in mid-April by FNSS, based here, and the Malaysian government. The two sides are expected to sign a formal contract soon, said the official.
FNSS is a joint venture between Turkey's Nurol Holding, the majority partner, and U.S.-based BAE Systems Land & Armaments.
The vehicle, the eight-wheel-drive Pars, will be coproduced with Malaysian partners in Malaysia.
"With planned follow-on orders, the program is expected to become much larger, and FNSS' share is expected to exceed $500 million," the Turkish procurement official said.
FNSS originally developed the Pars for the Turkish military. Last year, the Turkish Army ordered more than 1,000 Pars vehicles in different variants, and the Navy ordered more than 50 amphibious vehicles.
Turkish defense officials view the Malaysian deal as a breakthrough in efforts to win larger-scale foreign contracts. The United Arab Emirates also is testing the Pars, the senior procurement official said.
Otokar, another leading Turkish company, also has exported armored vehicles to more than 10 countries in the Balkans, the Middle East and southeastern Asia. But its individual contracts have been smaller than FNSS' Malaysia deal. Otokar was selected to develop Turkey's first indigenous main battle tank, the Altay.
"The making of armored vehicles is one of the strongest sectors in our defense industry," said Kaya Yazgan, secretary general of Turkey's Defense Industry Manufacturers Association, or SaSaD, an umbrella group bringing together defense companies defensenews | |

The first of the Malaysian Scorpene-class vessels, the KD Tunku Abdul Rahman, arrives in Malaysia in 2009.
Second Scorpene-class submarine to be transfered to Malaysia
09:26 GMT, May 7, 2010 The second Scorpene-class submarine of the Malaysian Navy, the Tun Razak, has left Toulon on 30 April and is heading for Lumut in Malaysia before beign transferred to its final home base at Kota Kinabalu (Borneo).
The transit between Toulon and Malaysia, which should require approximately two months, is carried out in several stages.
At the end of these two months, once arrived in Malaysia, the Tun Razak will undergo its second maintenance programme phase before accomplishing the last trials in tropical environments.
Signed in June 2002, the contract between the Malaysian government and DCNS includes the procurement of 2 Scorpene-class submarines, logistical support and training.
The two vessels, with a length of 67,5m and a displacement of 1,550 tons, are operated by a reduced crew of 31 persons for an autonomous period of 45 days.
This Scorpene submarine programme confirms the recognised competence of DCNS in carrying out complex naval programmes. With 10 vessels sold worldwide, the Scorpene is a global reference of conventional submarines (2 for Chile, 2 for Malaysia, 6 for India).
Designed by DCNS, the submarines have been jointly developed with the Spanish naval manufacturer Navantia. They benefit of the latest innovations developed for other programmes and feature the most advanced technologies in the fields of hydrodynamics, reduction of noise emission, and automation.

- The Royal Malaysian Navy plans to have 18 warships in an effort to make the armada competitive to others in the regions, Navy Chief Admiral Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Jaafar said.
He said six warships would be built under the Tenth Malaysia Plan (10MP) while the remaining six would be built under the Eleventh Malaysian Plan (11MP).
RMN had six warships of which five had been commissioned while the other would be commissioned by year end.
Aziz said the government had agreed to build six second generation patrol vessels and four training vessels under 10MP.
"The building of sophisticated assets is to replace seven per cent of old assets that can affect RMN's operation," he told reporters after the commissioning of KD Kelantan at the naval base here Thursday.
KD Kelantan was the third patrol vessel built locally after KD Perak and KD Terengganu.

- Malaysia to Upgrade C-130 Hercules Fleet
The Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) is expected to upgrade its fleet of Hercules C-130 transport aircraft to extend its service life and reduce maintenance costs.
Defence Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the upgrade would begin in 2014, after the current C-130 maintenance contract had expired, according to the Malay Mail.
The C-130 upgrade programme is expected to be based on the US Air Force's Hercules avionics modernisation programme, which was undertaken by Boeing.
It may also include equipping the RMAF Hercules with defensive aids systems to enable the aircraft to take part in international duties.
The RMAF's Nuri helicopter fleet will also be upgraded to the S-61T Triton standard.
Funds for the upgrade project will come under the tenth Malaysian plan, which will be tabled next week airforce-technology | |

- KD Tun Razak, the second Royal Malaysian Navy submarine, sails in homeland waters
11:43 GMT, July 9, 2010 Kuala Lumpur | The Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) second Scorpene submarine, KD Tun Razak, reached the Lumut naval base for an official homecoming ceremony on the 2nd of July. Mid-July, she will sail to Teluk Sepanggar, Sabah, the RMN submarine base.
KD Tun Razak’s voyage between DCNS facilities in the south of France and Malaysia lasted 64 days. Following the navigation plan, the Royal Malaysian Navy sailed the submarine 7283 nautical miles through the Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean and the Malacca Straits before reaching home.
During its journey, the submarine stopped in four ports of call: Alexandria (Egypt), Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), Salalah (Oman) and Cochin (India). In Teluk Sepanggar, KD Tun Razak will go through scheduled maintenance before comprehensive sea trials in the tropical waters of the region.
The contract between the Malaysian government and DCNS for two Scorpene submarines and associated logistics and training was signed in June 2002. KD Tunku Abdul Rahman, the first Malaysian submarine reached home in September 2009.
With a displacement of 1,550 tonnes for a length overall of 67.5 metres, each boat requires a crew of just 31 and offers an endurance of 45 days.
This programme demonstrates DCNS’s know-how as a leading prime contractor for sophisticated warship programmes. With ten units ordered (two for Chile, two for Malaysia and six for India), Scorpene is an international benchmark in SSK design.
The Scorpene was designed by DCNS and developed jointly by DCNS and Spanish naval shipbuilder Navantia. The design features a range of advanced technologies – particularly in hydrodynamics, acoustic discretion and automation – drawing on state-of-the-art innovations developed for other submarine programmes defpro | |

Le KD Tunku Abdul Rahman fait la preuve de ses capacités
Le premier sous-marin malaisien, le KD Tunku Abdul Rahman, a fait la preuve lundi de ses capacités en lançant avec succès un missile Exocet SM39 Block 2.
Le chef de la marine royale malaisienne, l’amiral Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Jaafar, a déclaré que le missile avait touché sa cible, de 40 m de long, à 22 nautiques (40 km) de distance.
Il a précisé que le missile avait été lancé depuis une immersion de 55 m, à une distance rendant difficile pour les bâtiments de lutte anti-sous-marine de prendre des mesures contre le sous-marin.
Selon lui, le lancement du missile faisait partie des essais contractuels réalisés pour les opérations en eaux chaudes du sous-marin.
Il a déclaré que le lancement du missile Exocet SM39 Blok 2, à 10:15 locales en mer de Chine du Sud, était la démonstration des capacités de la marine royale et de celle du sous-marin à lancer une attaque en plongée.
L’amiral Abdul Aziz, qui a aussi assisté au lancement, a ajouté qu’il était aussi destiné à confirmer l’efficacité du Exocet SM39 Blok 2 et la capacité du système d’armes du sous-marin, plus connu sous le nom de SUBTICS KD TAR dans une ambiance tropicale.
Il a précisé que le missile Exocet SM39 Blok 2, conçu en France en 2008, était un missile sous-marin anti-navires, pesant 2.100 kg, d’une longueur de 6 m et d’un diamètre de 35 cm. corlobe - Citation :
KD Tunku Abdul Rahman Proves Capability
KOTA KINABALU, July 26 (Bernama) -- Malaysia's first submarine, the KD Tunku Abdul Rahman Monday proved its capability when it successfully conducted the firing of an Exocet SM39 Block 2 missile.
Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) chief Admiral Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Jaafar in a statement here, said the missile hit its 40-metre long surface target located 22 nautical miles (40km) away.
He said it was fired from a depth of 55 metres, a range that was difficult for anti-submarine ships to adopt counter measures against submarines.
According to him, the test firing of the missile was part of contractual activities in the submarine's tropical operations.
He said the test firing of the Exocet SM39 Blok 2 missile, which was launched at exactly 10.15am in the South China Sea, was proof of RMN's capabilities and the submarine's capability to launch an attack from below the sea surface.
Abdul Aziz, who also witnessed the test, said it was also aimed at confirming the effectiveness of the Exocet SM39 Blok 2 and the capability of the submarine's weapons system or better know as SUBTICS KD TAR in a tropical climate.
He said the Exocet SM39 Blok 2, sourced from France in 2008, was a below sea-to-surface missile weighing 2,100 kilogrammes and having a length of six metres and a diametre of 35 centimetres.

- MIG29 Jets To Be Phased Out - Zahid
BAGAN DATOH, June 1 (Bernama) -- The MIG-29N fighter jets of the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) will be replaced with other interceptor jets to strengthen the force.
Defence Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the matter had been discussed with RMAF chief General Tan Sri Azizan Ariffin and the aircraft would be replaced soon.
"I have decided that from next month, the aircraft be phased out and we should find a way to sell them to certain companies or countries approved by the United Nations," he told reporters after visiting the victims of a storm in Rungkup, here, Monday.
On the Sukhoi fighter jets received recently, he said the preparedness of the squadron stationed at the RMAF base in Gong Kedak, Kelantan had been proven as the members had received sufficient simulator training and other forms of training continuously.
On the 1Malaysia concept in the Malaysian Armed Forces, he said the ministry had carried out the 1Malaysia 1Force campaign through the concept of holistic defence and encouraging all races to join the territorial army.
In another development, Ahmad Zahid said the federal government had agreed to provide assistance to the storm victims in the Bagan Datoh parliamentary constituency with the involvement of 98 soldiers from the army's 2nd Division.
He said the Engineers Corps and Infantry brigade would rebuild or repair the homes damaged by the storm early last Saturday morning. The work will take about two weeks.
In the storm, the roofs of 408 houses were damaged or blown off, while 32 houses were badly damaged.

Malaysia to phase out troublesome MiG-29 fighters
By Siva Govindasamy
Malaysia has announced plans to phase out its RSK MiG-29N fighters over the next few years, with the fleet having been plagued by problems since it bought the type in the early 1990s.
"I have decided that from next month, the aircraft will be phased out and we should find a way to sell them to certain companies or countries approved by the United Nations," Malaysia's new defence minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi told the official Bernama news agency.
The minister did not say what would replace the MiG-29s, which are operated in an interceptor role. The Royal Malaysian Air Force is scheduled to receive its last six of 18 Sukhoi Su-30MKMs by year-end, and already operates eight Boeing F/A-18Ds and 13 BAE Systems Hawk 208s that are used in a light attack role.
Industry sources say Malaysia has encountered problems in obtaining spares for its 14 MiG-29s, and that maintenance has been an issue for a long while. A mid-life upgrade had been mooted as a possible solution to the problems, but sources say it would be cheaper over the long run to buy new fighters instead.
Kuala Lumpur already has a pending requirement for another 18 fighters. Observers believe that it could begin a competition in a few years and assess the Su-30, Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet and potentially Saab's Gripen. The air force could now ask the defence ministry to increase the number of fighters it buys through this tender to replace the MiG-29s.
One problem, however, is Malaysia's tight defence budget. Last October, the global economic crisis forced it to delay a plan to buy Eurocopter EC725s to replace its army's Sikorsky S-61 "Nuri" utility helicopters.
It has also postponed a plan to buy eight airborne early warning and control system aircraft until the 10th Malaysia Plan, covering 2011-15, or even the subsequent plan, spanning 2016-20. The country also has requirements for maritime patrol aircraft and anti-submarine warfare helicopters.

| Selex Galileo to protect Malaysia's Hawk fleet - Citation :
- Selex Galileo expects to receive a contract to equip the Royal Malaysian Air Force's BAE Systems Hawk advanced jet trainer and light attack aircraft with a new radar warning receiver (RWR) system.
Named Seer, the self-protection equipment has been designed as a drop-in replacement for BAE's Sky Guardian 200 RWR system, previously installed on platforms including the Hawk.
Selex supported recent flight trials of the new equipment with a Malaysian Hawk. "The RWR met all of the jointly agreed objectives, with Seer being able to detect radars at ranges that were an order of magnitude greater than those achieved by older-generation systems," it says.
Malaysia operates 14 single-seat Hawk 208s and six Hawk 108 trainers delivered between 1994 and 1995, as listed in Flightglobal's MiliCAS database.
Comprising four wide band spiral antennas, two digital detectors, a signal processor and a cockpit display, Seer is "capable of identifying and prioritising complex RF signals in a hostile threat environment", Selex says.
"There are customers out there who are worried about radar threats," says Steve Roberts, Selex Galileo's vice-president capability for electronic warfare systems. "We are getting a lot of interest from those countries."
Latin America and the Middle East are considered to be other potential markets for the new equipment.
Roberts says the company will soon perform a similar flight trial with Seer using an Aero Vodochody L-159 - a type in use with the Czech air force. The equipment is also suitable as an upgrade for the Northrop F-5 fighter, or for use with new-build aircraft and helicopters, he says. A compact version is also to be offered to equip unmanned air vehicles.
Selex has also developed a new electronic support measures system dubbed Sage to equip platforms ranging in size from tactical UAVs to large transport and surveillance aircraft. The company's first proposed installation would give a Lockheed Martin C-130 tactical transport a signals analysis and geo-location function.
The company is targeting applications such as border surveillance and exclusive economic zone monitoring for Sage, and has already held discussions with its Finmeccanica sister companies about its potential inclusion in future maritime patrol aircraft offerings. Flight International | |

If it goes ahead, the purchase of the first batch is expected to coincide with Malaysia's new five-year budget, the Tenth Malaysia Plan.
