➶ To manufacture the Astros II System rockets
Astros II TNI AD ★
The Indonesian magazine Angkasa Review ("Space Magazine") revealed in its issue earlier this month that a delegation from that Asian country's army leadership, led by Deputy Chief of Staff Major General Tatang Sulaiman, was recently at the premises of Avibras Indústria Aeroespacial SA, in São José dos Campos, to negotiate the production of the rocket manufacturing technology of the MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System) Astros II - Area Saturation Artillery weapon that for 30 years constitutes the main product of the Brazilian company.
The visit is worthy of note because General Sulaiman, who will turn 57 on April 1, will still be in command of his Force in 2019, replacing General Mulyono (an official who also visited Avibras last year).
At the company's facility, General Sulaiman was introduced to the design and mock-ups of the AV-TM 300, also known as MTC (Tactical Cruise Missile) -300, which Avibras also tries to sell to Indonesians.
The expectation is that an Astros launcher truck will be able to carry two cruise missiles, each equipped with an explosive warhead of 200 kg.
The vector has been developed for about 20 years for the Brazilian Land Force and, according to military sources and the Industrial Defense Base (IDB), it would have had its original proposal modified (at the request of the Army itself) to reach 500 targets km away - always with a high margin of precision.
In early April 2018, Indonesian Army Chief of Staff General Mulyono and the General Director of Pindad, Indonesia's main arms industry, Abraham Mose met with Avibras, to examine the deepening of cooperation between the parties.
The Mulyono Force predicts that it will need 3,000 Astros System rockets - for training and real employment - and, therefore, prioritizes the production of these vectors in its territory.
The plan is to build them at the Pindad Corporation ammunition plant in the town of Turen, in the vicinity of the city of Malang, the second most populous in the Indonesian province of East Java. Only the rocket launcher tubes would continue to be provided by Avibras.
According to a report published by the website liputan6.com, which reproduces the well-known TV news, liputan6, the Indonesian Army intends even to manufacture armored trucks launching Astros rockets (it is not known whether with plans also provided by Avibras).
