Swedia Tawarkan Pesawat Tempur Gripen ke Indonesia

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta--SAAB Group, produsen armada dan alat pesawat terbang yang bermarkas di Swedia, merupakan salah satu perusahaan yang menawarkan kerjasama pengadaan pesawat kepada Indonesia. Pesawat yang ditawarkan perusahaan yang memiliki jejaring bisnis internasional itu adalah Gripen NG.

"Kami meletakkan Indonesia dalam daftar rencana kerja sama. Kami mendapat permintaan pemberian informasi soal armada kami dari Angkatan Udara Indonesia, yang telah kami penuhi," kata Wakil Presiden Saab untuk Indonesia, Peter Carlqvist saat ditemui di sela acara pameran dirgantara Singapore Air Show, di Bandara Changi, pekan lalu.

Indonesia kini tengah menimbang pembelian pesawat tempur baru pengganti F-5E/F Tiger II TNI-AU. Gripen masuk sebagai nominator penjaga langit nusantara. Namun Gripen mesti bersaing dengan pesawat tempur super canggih yang ditawarkan perusahaan lain seperti Rafale, Sukhoi Su-35BM, serta F-16 Blok 60.

Carlqvist menambahkan Gripen memiliki standar biaya operasional atau pemeliharaan yang murah. "Industri pesawat kini makin canggih tapi juga sekaligus makin mahal. Kami memutus tren dengan menekan ongkos perawatan operasional." ujar Clarqvist.

SAAB, Carlqvist menyebutkan, juga membuka kemungkinan negara yang membeli armada dengan mereka mendapat fasilitas transfer teknologi. Dengan Brazil, yang baru saja membeli 36 unit Gripen NG, misalnya, SAAB melakukan 100 persen transfer teknologi. Kondisi tu bisa terjadi karena perusahaan dirgantara Brazil mumpuni menerima transfer teknologi dari SAAB.

Adapun saat ini, kata Carlqvist, pihaknya tengah melihat peluang itu pada PT DI. "Kami membuka peluang seperti yang kami lakukan dengan Brazil. Walau mungkin tidak semua negara bisa menerima transfer teknologi tersebut, sehingga yang bisa dilakukan akhirnya adalah mentransfernya setahap demi setahap," kata dia.

Ko ni.... x baiklah cakap cam tu... military tech tu sume x penting... mcm SG ni byk sangat high tech expensive military equipment tapi last2 commando kita bolos gak base dia siap amik (ke tukar?) bendera diaorng...

Sweden is offering the Gripen NG with Transfer of Technology scheme to Indonesia.

Thales on board the Littoral Combat Ships of the Royal Malaysian Navy

Tue, 18/02/2014

Key points
- Thales to supply radars and sonars for the Royal Malaysian Navy’s Second Generation Patrol Vessels
- The contract includes the provision of 6 SMART-S Mk2 radars and 6 CAPTAS-2 sonar systems
- This contract further strengthens Thales’s position as a trusted partner to Navies worldwide

Thales announces that it has signed a Letter of Award with Contraves Advanced Devices Sdn. Bhd. to supply six SMART-S Mk2 naval surveillance radar systems, as well as six CAPTAS-2 towed sonar systems for the Royal Malaysian Navy’s Second Generation Patrol Vessel (SGPV) Littoral Combat Ships (LCS).

The six SMART-S Mk2 radars will be installed on the Malaysian Littoral Combat Ships that are currently being built by Boustead Naval Shipyard Sdn Bhd in Malaysia. The first SMART-S Mk2 is expected to be delivered within the next few years. Thales in Hengelo (The Netherlands) will build and test the first two radars; the other four systems will be assembled and tested by Contraves in Malaysia, using Thales components and know-how.

The Royal Malaysian Navy has also selected the CAPTAS-2 which is part of the CAPTAS[1]  family of active Variable Depth Sonar (VDS). CAPTAS-2 is designed to perform against quiet submarines, enabling surface platforms to carry out all Anti-Submarine Warfare missions such as escort, prosecution, area sanitisation and own force protection.

The CAPTAS-2 Variable Depth Sonar comprises state-of-the-art innovative technologies that provides a high source level in a compact array. Furthermore, Thales’s unique towed triplet receive arrayprovides instant left/right ambiguity resolution, and is ideally suited for torpedo defence.

Thales is the European leader in naval radars and number one internationally for sonars and underwater systems. This new success confirms the position of the Group as a trusted partner to Navies worldwide.

About SMART-S Mk2

This contract raises the number of SMART-S Mk2 radar systems sold to well over 50. With the first system under contract in 2003 and operational in 2006, this radar is the world’s market leader in naval medium to long range 3D surveillance radars.

SMART-S Mk2 is a medium to long range air and surface surveillance radar that operates in E/F band (S-band), has full 3D coverage, up to 70 degrees in elevation and two operational modes with 250/150 kilometre range respectively. The system is optimised to provide medium to long range situational awareness and target designation in complex environments such as the littoral. The SMART-S Mk2 range performance is matched with the operational capabilities of modern AAW defence missiles systems. Its dedicated helicopter and short-range capabilities also make this radar the ideal sensor for helicopter-carrying amphibious ships, LPDs or small aircraft carriers.

SMART-S Mk2 has been designed for minimal support and easy installation. Maintenance-free mission capability is ensured by the use of solid-state transmitter technology and parallel processes. This, and more, make SMART-S Mk2 the 3D naval radar system of choice for littoral operations.

About CAPTAS-2

Thanks to substantial investments into the development of the CAPTAS family, CAPTAS-2 has benefitted from the on-going evolution of Thales’s sea proven technologies, ranging from acoustic components to the most state-of-the-art software processing,.

Within the last 20 years, more than €250M of Research & Development investment has allowed Thales to build an unprecedented expertise in very low frequency active towed sonars. Thales’s leading position in many fields such as wideband free-flooded ring transducers and triplet receive arrays, has enabled the company to develop the best Anti-Submarine Warfare tactical assets with the CAPTAS sonars.
Operational at sea in major navies, the CAPTAS family is de-facto the world’s lowest frequency VDS standard with the largest installed base. It is also the only low frequency VDS  servicing NATO countries and in service with multiple navies including the Norwegian Navy, the Royal Saudi Navy, the UK Royal Navy, the French Navy, the Italian Navy, the Royal Moroccan Navy and the UAE Navy. Furthermore, CAPTAS has been selected by the US Navy for an Advanced Demonstration Model (ADM).

not CAPTAS 4 .....  look like our LCS weapons and electronics warfare capability much more shrink than expected.  USD 500mil ship....

US to sell Apache and modernize Indonesian Armed Forces

Tuesday, 18 February 2014, 15:52 WIB

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA - The US will sell Apache helicopters to Indonesia and support modernization of Indonesian Armed Forces to more than 1.5 billion USD. The commitment is among other points under the agreement signed by Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa and the visiting US Secretary of State John F Kerry.

During the visit on Feb. 17, Kerry and Natalegawa agreed to expand US defense equipment sales to Indonesia, according the press release by the US Department of State on US-Indonesia Fourth Joint Commission Meeting. The agreement was cemented in the fourth Joint Commission Meeting of the US-Indonesia Comprehensive Partnership.

Negotiation will be continued on Communications and Information Security Memorandum of Agreement (CISMOA). This cooperation aims at promoting interoperability between our respective armed forces and support Indonesian Armed Forces modernization.

Indonesia and the US plan further cooperation to repatriate the remains of 1,891 American service members from World War II still missing in Indonesian territory.

In political cooperation, the US will cooperate with the Indonesian National Election Commission and Election Oversight body, election training sessions for 972 women candidates. The training is aimed at equipping these candidates with the skills to become candidates for elective office, and, if elected, to effectively represent their constituencies.

I dun think CAPTAS 4 can fit in our ship nicely.
Captas 4 usually use by heavy frigate and destroyer.
Our sgpv ngam ngam 3000 tonnage + it would have tough time fitting it.

US LCS also select Captas4 ....

not really big actually.

According to its spec captas4 is design for larger than 3000tonnage.
If our sgpv full tonnages about 3000 is very full strecth on the hull design.

Its not only the size of tranducer....but the whole system like cable length etc

now US will focus on Indonesia with their purchase power

Malaysia on the other hand.. hangat hangat tahi ayam this year macam nak beli, next year tak jadi
Those defence contractor also i think pening kepala

If follow procedure like tender process, alot of paper works need to be done to give best price, imagine all the hardworks the suddenly cancel
