Sea Ceptor Aims for Corvette Retrofit
For Bung Tomo Class

European guided weapons house MBDA (Hall D, Stand D210) is pushing its new Sea Ceptor local area anti-air missile system as a potential retrofit for the Indonesian Navy’s three Bung Tomo-class corvettes, writes Richard Scott.
Based on the new Common Anti-air Modular Missile (CAMM) effector, Sea Ceptor has been ordered by the UK Ministry of Defence to replace VL Seawolf on the Royal Navy’s Type 23 frigates, and to equip new Type 26 frigates from build. The system has also secured export orders from New Zealand and Chile for frigate upgrade programmes.
The 95m Bung Tomo-class ships were originally designed to receive the VL Seawolf point defence missile system (with space for a 16-cell silo forward of the bridge). However the Seawolf system was not installed prior to Indonesia’s 2013 agreement to acquire the ships.
With VL Seawolf no longer in production, MBDA is now proposing to equip the three vessels with the next-generation Sea Ceptor system. “As demonstrated by the highly successful Type 23 upgrade programme for the Royal Navy, Sea Ceptor is a proven and low-risk upgrade option for vessels configured for the previous Seawolf system such as the Bung Tomo corvettes,” an MBDA spokesperson said. “Also, the system’s design, including its active radar seeker and a two-way datalink, makes it virtually radar- and combat management system-agnostic.”
Capable of ranges of more than 25km, CAMM uses an active radar seeker (supported by mid-course guidance updates) to deliver an allweather engagement capability against multiple targets simultaneously. It also features novel ‘soft launch’ technology, where a gas-powered piston propels the missile away from the ship before thrusters orientate it in the required direction of flight. Once the low-speed/low-energy turnover is complete, the missile fires its main rocket motor.
“At only 100kg per missile and utilising cold vertical launch, Sea Ceptor offers substantial weight and volume savings over alternate systems,” MBDA told the Show Daily, “while providing shorter interception times and substantially increased maximum range.”

Top officials from Korea Aerospace Industries and Indonesia's defense ministry sign an export contract on the sidelines of the Indo Defence 2018 Expo & Forum in Jakarta on Nov. 8, 2018, in this photo provided by the Joint Press Corps. (Yonhap) ★Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), a South Korean defense firm, signed a contract worth 100 billion won (US$89.4 million) with Indonesia on Thursday, its officials said.
The company inked the contract to export three KT-1B trainer aircraft and install radar equipment and guns on the Indonesian Air Force's T-50i planes on the sidelines of the Indo Defence 2018 Expo & Forum in Jakarta.KAI is to deliver the KT-1Bs within 28 months of the contract's implementation, and it will complete the T-50i project within 25 months.
KAI exported the KT-IB overseas three times between 2001 and 2008. Indonesia's military is known to use the KT-1B for basic training as well as for air show programs.
The company has been pushing to export its Surion utility helicopters and FA-50 light attack fighters to the Southeast Asian country.A day earlier, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. signed a contract with PT PAL, an Indonesian state-owned firm, to form a consortium in an effort to win a project to build three submarines.

Pindad Kerjasama Dengan Perusahaan Ceko
Kembangkan Kendaraan Tempur Canggih
Pandur II 8×8 TNI AD [indomiliter] ★
PT Pindad melakukan kerja sama dengan Excalibur Army, perusahaan pertahanan di bawah Czechoslovak Group (CSG) dalam pengembangan kendaraan tempur canggih Pandur 8x8 infanteri. General Manager Divisi Kendaraan Khusus Pindad, Agus Edy Suprihanto mengatakan Pindad melakukan kerja sama engineering untuk memenuhi kebutuhan user, saat ini infanteri.
"Kemampuan kendaraan tempur ini adalah kendaraan ini 8x8 tapi mampu berenang (amfibi). Mobilitas tinggi, mampu membawa lebih dari 12 pasukan. Untuk senjata menggunakan kaliber 30 mm, kendaraan infanteri ini yang pertama kali kita pasangkan kaliber tersebut," kata Agus Edy Suprihanto dalam pameran alutsista Indo Defence 2018 di JIExpo and Forum, Kemayoran, Rabu (7/11).
"Kendaraan tipe darat ini juga memiliki kemampuan melewati kondisi tanah yang tak bagus, ada teknologi yang mengempeskan angin ban sehingga mampu menapaki lumpur," tambah dia.
Dia mengatakan, Pindad melakukan kerja sama dengan perusahaan pertahanan asal Ceko ini karena sudah berpengalaman dalam memproduksi kendaraan dan bertempur, khususnya di Eropa Timur. Dia mengatakan Pindad juga membutuhkan transfer knowledge dari pihak Excalibur Army selain material.
Sementara itu, Vice President CSG Indonesia, Ing. Daniel Kana mengungkapkan pihaknya sudah bekerja sama dengan Kementerian Pertahanan Indonesia lebih dari enam tahun lalu. Pihaknya menilai Pindad perusahaan pertahanan yang mampu memproduksi kendaraan tempur yang mumpuni.
"Kementerian Pertahanan Indonesia juga membutuhkan kendaraan tipe tersebut untuk marinir. Kendaraan yang mampu bermanuver dan ampibi serta tahan peluru. Untuk harga, tergantung permintaan negara pemesan," kata dia.

Indonesia Prepares to Launch First Locally Assembled Submarine
Indonesia has successfully completed the assembly of its third Nagapasa-class submarine. On-time completion validates the state-owned shipbuilder’s recently built submarine building facilities in Surabaya (photo :gear trex) ★Assembly of the third Nagapasa-class diesel-electric submarine (SSK) on order for the Indonesian Navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia – Angkatan Laut: TNI-AL) is complete and the boat is ready for launch at Surabaya, an official from state-owned shipbuilder PT PAL confirmed with Jane’s at the Indo Defence 2018 exhibition in Jakarta.
However, the launch has since been delayed twice due to the unavailability of key politicians who would like to be present at the ceremony, including the Indonesian president and the minister of defence, said the official.
