Batu, Jawa Timur (ANTARA News) - With an airspace of more than five million square kilometers, Indonesia needs a qualified air umbrella to protect its national sovereignty.

One of the stakeholders in the Indonesian military was the Air Defense Artillery Corps in the Indonesian Armed Forces, which today commemorates its 72nd anniversary at the Army Air Defense Artillery Education Center in Batu, East Java.

So far, the most recent procurement of modern berets with light brown berets includes the Starstreak missile battery from Thales, England, which uses two footholds, Mistral (Rheinmetal, MBDA), CM-200 (France) mobile radar controller and Mistral Coordination Post. Everything was held several years before 2018 in the second phase of the second Minimum Strength Essential strategic plan (2014-2019).

Together with the RBS-70 man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS) system made by SAAB, Sweden, which was held in the early 1990s, they entered the short-range ground-to-air anti-air missile missile class, with a range under 12 kilometers.

"In the future, we will develop an air defense artillery unit at the border and coverage of forces will enter eastern Indonesia. "Short-range missiles already exist and will be equipped with medium-range missiles," said the Commander of the Artillery Weapon Center. Army Air Defense Brigadier General Toto Nugroho.

"We have submitted technical specifications to the top unit and related agencies, and have started to conduct studies," he said.

In the list of medium-class missile arsenal — a distance of around 100 kilometers — there are many choices, including ASTER 30 from MBDA (France), Medium Extended Defense System from the United States, Italy and Germany (including THAADS from Boeing Company, United States), NASAMS 2 (Norwegian Advanced Surface to Air Missile System) is based on AIM-120 AMRAAM (Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile), and later named SLAMRAAM (Surfaced Launched AMRAAM), also S-300 from Russia.

He said, the moving point defense system would be placed in the area of ​​the gates of Indonesia or related to it and in its operations it could operate in combination with other corps in the Army or other TNI troops.

The procurement of medium-range missiles, he said, is in accordance with the new paradigm of the nature and understanding of national threats from the air. "In the past, the definition was an aircraft, but now it includes missiles, mortars and UAVs. "It has the potential to become a threat and we must make a big leap by mastering and possessing related technologies," he said.

He also emphasized the need for short-range missiles capable of moving with mobile units within the Indonesian Army, ranging from mechanical infantry and infantry battalions, cavalry to engineers.

fuhh the hull broke into 4 pieces aye..demnnn...anyway near that area the depth can go up to 3000 meters     
our seas dont have area that deep right bro?

if got any malfunction does scorpene have emergency surfacing or whatever as precaution?

In south china sea quite deep in some areas.....we experienced 3000m the deepest so far.

Every sub has the emergency surfacing system.....it is designed to work with various ways. There are circumstances that make this system not effective;
1. ballast tanks burst, so no system avail to make sub float again.
2. Major hydraulic, air system failures
3. Sudden explosion, all crews died suddenly.... nobody to push the system

fuuuuuuuu...i think this happens to the crew of the sub.

anyway should install as system where if nobody reset in every 2 hours the sub will auto surface. during war mode this system disabled lor

There is....but its for automatic release rescue buoy..... if not reset, let say 6 hrs it will release the buoy & transmit SOS

what happen to the argentine sub? dont have the rescue buoy ke bro?

btw only release buoy & sos why not auto release ballast and surface? any particular reason?   

Turkey's domestically developed Anka UAV count days for export to Indonesia

TURKEY Published November 19,2018



Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) has passed yet another significant threshold in its efforts to meet Indonesia's need for satellite-controlled, mid-altitude and long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The company has made an offer for two systems consisting of six aerial vehicles to be provided for the Indonesian Air Force. Thanks to the outstanding features of TAI's Anka UAV in terms of technique, industrial participation and cost, the defense giant made it on the short list consisting of two companies selected from among four rivals. The Indonesian Ministry of Defense initiated an international procurement process on June 28 to procure UAV systems. TAI submitted an offer on Aug. 24.

TAI held an "Industrial Day" in Jakarta on Aug. 14 during the preparation process. At the event, design, production and main integrator capabilities that the company undertakes across many different platforms were transferred to Indonesian defense and aerospace companies, and comprehensive negotiations were held with them to achieve the targeted industry cooperation.

At the Indo Defense 2018 Fair, which was held from Nov. 7 to Nov. 10 in Jakarta, a real-sized Anka was exhibited among the systems that participated in the tender - which Indonesian authorities interpreted as a very clear indicator of the cooperation desired and the importance attributed to the tender.

Guys, what are your views on a hypothetical Joint R&D project between Malaysia and Singapore on developing new weapons to challenge China in the South China Sea? Is it a viable option for Malaysia in its current financial situation? Would the benefits outweigh the costs?
