Hi just come back from a very busy schedule.
sigh too much project on hand.

anyway I did some reading on previous post.
some ask y not using meko design instead of using dsme.
well it were due to boustead unable to do 2major project at the same time.

As it was expected mica were selected.
well sgpv were design to be light frigates so dun expect much about it.
On the cost and price tags not much we can do on its as some of the money went into upgrading the boustead facilities.
For future upgrade it can utilize the buffer space to install essm or any other long range SAM capability.
as for camm if the development have completed during the announcement back in 2010 it might have been selected instead of mica.

For mmrca I still think we will be better off select gripen leasing option.

Cash-Flush TNI ‘Receptive’ to Saab Pitch for Airborne Radar Platform

By Vanesha Manuturi on 10:07 pm Mar 11, 2015



Linkoping, Sweden. Swedish aerospace and defense firm Saab plans to continue discussions with the Indonesian Air Force for the purchase of an airborne early warning and control system amid the nation’s heightened efforts to secure its borders.

Martin Vobora, the company’s senior director of marketing and sales for Asia Pacific region, told the Jakarta Globe that government officials have been largely receptive to the offer.

“It seems like the government realized that there is a need for the technology. Now, it’s just a matter of timing and placement,” he said in Linkoping on Tuesday.

Still, he noted that no official talks have yet taken place regarding procurement Saab’s airborne early warning and control system, known as the Erieye AEW&C mission system.

Other companies offering airborne early warning systems include Northrop Grumman and its E-2C Hawkeye airplane.

Saab’s Erieye AEW&C is capable of multiple roles, including air surveillance, sea surveillance and intelligence, the Swedish company said. The radar can be installed on three different platforms, including Saab 340 and 2000 aircraft.

The technology, which has been operational since 1996, has been used in seven countries — including Thailand, Mexico and Brazil — for both military and civilian purposes, such as protection against illegal fishing and drug trafficking.

“There are two keywords for the Erieye system, coverage and mobility,” Lars Ekstrom, business developer of marketing and sales for Saab’s electronic defense systems, told reporters in Gothenburg, Sweden, on Monday.

The Swedish company is offering the airborne early warning control system amid ongoing discussions with Air Force officials on the possible purchase of the Gripen fighter jet. Saab currently has branch offices in 35 countries. Its Indonesian office was established in late 2013.

Since then, Saab Indonesia has signed early-stage agreements with a few local companies, such as state-owned weapons manufacturer Pindad and state electronics manufacturer Len Industri.

“It’s good for us to have local partners for maintenance and it’s also good in helping the country with its industrial base,” said Lars Tossman, vice president and head of airborne surveillance systems.

Indonesia has budgeted 7 percent of its annual spending on defense over the past two years in an effort to revamp its aging military arsenal. Military spending increased by 3.3 percent to Rp 97 trillion ($7.8 billion) in the 2015 state budget compared with the previous year— the equivalent of roughly 1.2 percent of Indonesia’s gross domestic product — with 40 percent of it allocated to weaponry and equipment.

“[Saab Technologies] has been very successful in making things cost-efficient … Indonesia is on the right track to growth and we’d like to be a part of it and help the industrial base,” Tossman added. “That’s the reason we invest.”

GlobeAsia was invited to Sweden by the Saab Group.

GlobeAsia

no agree .....
NMEL can partner with boustead to built corvette.... i means NMEL can built meko class too, just need cooperation with boustead.

will 2010 just tender for sgpv,decision on 2012 and that time sam/asm not decided yet. final design also not done. than both Mica and camm is using same vls，using mica/camm not the issue,  event until 2014 not yet decide sam/asm, so nothink related with camm development, it can order on 2013
only different is camm if quadpack means need more unit need to order than higher procurement cost.

Will be speaking to @JY_LeDrian later  “@aizaddd79: “@LIMAExhibitions: Rafale telah mendarat di LIMA'15 mlm tadi. ” 
many time talk with france on rafale, no talk with boeing, BAE, Gripen ? look like no aggressive from other Competitor...

Depend on the partnership and also the licence agreement.
I have doubt that boustead can share meko license with nmel or any third party.

Imo, mica deal are pretty much seal off way back 2013.
the only thing missing is loa.
Camm might not even been in the discussion.

ISIS has nothing to do with IS says Shahidan

KUALA LUMPUR: The Institute for Strategic and International Studies Malaysia (ISIS) and has nothing to do with the terror group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (IS), said Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim.

"The Government's official stance is that the Institute for Strategic and International Studies Malaysia (ISIS) has nothing to do with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria as widely reported in the international media," he said in reply to a supplementary question from Datuk Norah Abd Rahman (BN-Tanjong Manis) on Thursday.

Norah had asked the government whether it intends to change the name of the Institute as the acronym ISIS is often associated with terrorist activities of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

The institute, Shahidan explained,  had been established for more than 30 years.

"Since then it has been known as ISIS Malaysia by everyone from within and outside of the country," he said.

He said ISIS Malaysia had played a role in fostering regional cooperation through strategic works and studies with other ASEAN countries including with Brunei, Laos, Myanmar, and Singapore among others.

"ISIS Malaysia is well-recognised not only by governments but also the private sector locally and internationally," he added.

The government, said Shahidan, was serious in making efforts to stop terrorism activities including by tabling the Prevention of Terrorism Act in Parliament.

"We hope that the act will stop more people from joining terrorism activities and at the same time will win the heart of those who have yet to join any terrorism activities," he said.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States has asked Vietnam to stop letting Russia use a former US base to refuel nuclear-capable bombers engaged in shows of strength over the Asia-Pacific region, exposing strains in Washington's steadily warming relations with Hanoi. 

The request, described to Reuters by a State Department official, comes as US officials say Russian bombers have stepped up flights in a region already rife with tensions between China, US-ally Japan and Southeast Asian nations.  General Vincent Brooks, commander of the US Army in the Pacific, told Reuters the planes had conducted "provocative" flights, including around the US Pacific Ocean territory of Guam, home to a major American air base.

It is the first time that US officials have confirmed the role of Cam Ranh Bay, a natural deep-water harbor, in Russian bomber plane activity that has increased globally.  Brooks said the planes that circled Guam were refueled by Russian tankers flying from the strategic bay, which was transformed by the Americans during the Vietnam War into a massive air and naval base. 

Vietnam's willingness to allow Russia to use Cam Ranh Bay reflects Hanoi's complex position in a geopolitical tug-of-war that frequently pits China and Russia on one side and the United States, Japan and much of Southeast Asia on the other.

dont know why so many propose Erieys aew system to Malaysia event Indonesia,
Erieye have serious weakness due to can't cover 360* degree, what the point getting it,
maybe just for feel good go AEW, for for "real situation" not that good to use ... 
if want cheap, from china more cheaper and cover 360 degree
