ASEAN Ground Based Air Defence

Sistem Pertahanan Udara atau Ground Based Air Defence satu elemen pertahanan bagi Tentera Udara bagi melindungi aset, pangkalan dan lokasi strategik.

Ia terdiri dari sistem radar, sistem komunikasi, meriam anti udara serta sistem misil. Kini dengan berkembangan teknologi sistem-sistem ini mampu bergerak secara mobiliti ke kawasan tertentu. Ia menjurus kepada penggunaan sistem C4ISTAR yang bermaksud "Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Information/Intelligence, Surveillance, Targeting Acquisition and Reconnaissance."

Di Asia Tenggara, beberapa Tentera Udara memiliki beberapa sistem pertahanan udara antaranya:

Indonesia
NASAMS 2 Mid Range SAM
Chiron MANPADS
QW-3 MANPADS
Skyshield AAG (Twin Oerlikon 35mm)

Myanmar
Tor M-1 Mid Range SAM
Kub Mid Range SAM
Buk M-1 Mid Range SAM

Singapura

SPYDER (Python-5/Derby) Mobile Shorad SAM
Mistral MANPADS
Igla MANPADS
RBS 70 MANPADS

Malaysia mempunyai sistem rangkaian pertahanan udara yang baik menerusi Program Sistem Pertahanan Udara Nasional (NADS). Ia melibat pembangunan sistem-sistem radar ketahap tertinggi untuk memastikan tahap kesiagaan dalam keadaan terbaik.

Kejadian MH370 merencat tahap keupayaan sistem ini apabila ia gagal berkerjasama dengan sistem awam dari Jabatan Penerbangan Awam (kini Suruhajaya Penerbangan Awam Malaysia). Kini proses kolaborasi sedang dilakukan dengan pembinaan satu fasiliti gabungan di KLIA.

Namun begitu, aset Pertahanan Udara GBAD amat mengecewakan dengan Grup Pertahanan Udara GAPU Rejimen Artileri serta Pasukan Pertahanan Udara PPU TLDM dan TUDM tidak mencapai jarak yang sesuai berbanding dengan sistem radar dan elektronik berteknologi dan keupayaan tinggi.

Sistem Starstreak yang digunakan ketiga-tiga cabang ATM hanya mampu mencapai sasaran 7km berbanding sistem pertahanan Mid Range SAM yang mampu mencapai sasaran lebih 25km.

Beberapa sistem GBAD pernah ditawarkan kepada Malaysia antara Buk M-2, NASAMS (misil Iris T/Sidewinder & AMRAAM), Eurosam SAMP/T (Mica/Aster), Advance Hawk (misil Sidewinder & AMRAAM), KS-1, FK-3 & HQ-16.

Sejak 2000, tiada satu pun sistem GBAD Mid Range SAM berjaya memasuki perkhidmatan GAPU mahupun PPU. Kos sekurangnya RM5 - 6 Billion perlu disediakan sekurangnya 12 unit Bateri dilihat satu kos yang tinggi. Namun ia amat diperlukan agar tidak mengunakan aset tempur seperti Jet Pejuang secara berterusan. Melalui program CAP55 TUDM berharap mendapatkan 1 Rejimen penuh GBAD disamping 9 unit radar baharu

TNI-AU already bought a batch of AIM-120C7 for F-16

So, they may purchase the same variant for surface launched model. But, for any AAM converted to SAM, the effective range is roughly halved.

Neighbourhood's only counter rocket artillery and mortar (C-RAM) system.

Interesting that it seems everybody from SAIC/ST Kinetics MPF, Otokar Tulpar Light Tank and Pindad/FNSS Medium tank are using the same Cockerill 3105 Turret.

You think that Pindad/FNSS is the only company calling its tracked vehicle with 105mm a Medium Tank?

Tell that to BAE and Hanwha.

Even the US Army is calling the MPF a light/medium tank. Heck even if they want to call it Super Tank let them be.
The Pindad/FNSS Medium Tank weight is 35 tons. It doesn't matter what you want to call it,  the matters is that someone is buying this tracked vehicle and that is the Indonesian Army with first batch order of 100 units. The Philippine is also a potential export customer. You don't want your vehicle to be just a technology demonstrator.

I don't think so. The Pindad/FNSS Medium Tank is Stanag Level 5 can only tahan against 25mm cannon at 500 m. The Tulpar Light Tank is Stanag Level 2 but can be upgraded to Level 5.

The Namer is a Heavy APC/IFV.

^^^ TLDR:
https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/w...new-light-tank/

Everyone have their own classification. One would see the SAIC/ST Kinetics MPF as a Light or Medium Tank and one would see it as an IFV 105mm as it is basically is an IFV with a 105mm turret.

Even the WW2 Panther Tank the German classified it as a Medium Tank whereas the Russian & the Allies classified it as a Heavy Tank.

Heck even Rheinmetall calling their Marder Medium Tank as the Marder Medium MBT. Lol.

IMHO..there is no definite classification.

Nowadays any armored vehicles are vulnerable even Main Battle Tanks. Unless they are equipped with APS. Every weapons will always have a counter weapons.

Doesn' matter thats the way it is. The manufacturer and the military can named it what ever they want.

For the MPF why the US Army named it Mobile Protected Firepower? Do the vehicle have enough firepower and protection? It is also misleading.

Some will named a 8x8 wheeled armored vehicle with a 105mm or a 120mm gun as a Mobile Gun System (MGS) and some will named it as a Tank Destroyer.

Whats important is what specific role the vehicle are given to by the user and what strategy for their deployment.

I think you were asking SAIC/ST Kinetics MPF and i said yes. The Pindad/FNSS Medium Tank is a dedicated tank design with a rear engine so it carries no infrantry troops. Pindad is also to begin developing next year an IFV variant based on the Medium Tank. Ofcourse with a front engine.

^^ The K21-105 Medium Tank is the competitor in both Philippines and Bangladesh procurement program.

Nope. The FNSS/Pindad Medium Tank is not based from any existing IFV/APC design. It is a completely new hull and can be seen from the video below:



Pindad will design and develop an IFV variant based from the Medium Tank design. Its like the Namer is based from the Merkava MBT. You wouldn't want to call a Merkava an IFV/APC just because the Namer is an IFV and using the Merkava hull. Lol.

The FNSS/Pindad will be using locally made Battle Management System (BMS) by PT Hariff DTE. The same BMS already installed in the Leopard 2RI MBT as seen from the pic below:



Situational awaremess is for the driver with camera at the front and at rear.

Rear driver's camera on the FNSS/Pindad Medium Tank:

Well ofcourse. Better than selling nothing at all. Lol.

Well ofcourse the FNSS/Pindad Medium Tank is so easy to built and own. Lol.

That is why i said it will use locally made BMS contrary to what you said that it didn't have a network centric. Lol.

You were talking about situational awareness because what FNSS referred to as a situational awareness is the drivers camera.



Mission Equipment

• 360⁰ Situational Awareness
• Wireless Crew Intercom System
• Navigation System
• Auxiliary Power Unit
• Interior & Exterior Lighting System
• Battlefield Management System (BMS)
• Laser Warning System (LWS)

Nope i'm not misleading. You were quoting my post about a  plan IFV variant development based from the design of the FNSS/Pindad Medium Tank by Pindad. I'm talking about a dedicated tank design from the drawing board and just because the manufacturer want to develop an IFV variant based from that design you want to call it just an IFV/APC variant. Lol. The Merkava-Namer is a good example aswell with the T-55- Achzarit.
