KUALA LUMPUR - Kapal auxiliary Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia (TLDM), Bunga Mas 5 (BM 5) boleh dipertimbangkan untuk dijadikan platform Sea Basing di Kawasan Keselamatan Pantai Timur Sabah (Esscom).

Panglima Tentera Laut, Laksamana Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Jaafar berkata, ini kerana keupayaan BM 5 yang boleh bergerak secara efektif dan mudah dikendalikan serta dapat menempatkan aset-aset angkatan tentera laut sebagai cegah lintang.

"Selain itu terdapat helikopter di atas BM 5 yang akan bertindak sebagai force multiply, jarak kawal lebih meluas, pengawasan dan pemintasan yang lebih pantas," katanya ketika ditemui pemberita selepas menerima kunjungan Komander Armada Amerika Syarikat (AS), Laksamana Harry B. Harris Jr. di sini hari ini.

Beliau bagaimanapun bersetuju dengan keputusan kerajaan untuk menjadikan pelantar minyak yang tidak digunakan sebagai platform pengawasan.

"Dalam jangka masa panjang, saya bersetuju dengan cadangan penempatan pelantar minyak itu," katanya.

Abdul Aziz berkata, pelantar minyak itu kelak akan mempunyai kemudahan bot-bot pemintas dan mempunyai keupayaan staf pengawasan.

Menteri Pertahanan, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein sebelum ini berkata, sistem Sea-Basing merupakan penempatan aset ketenteraan di tengah lautan, berkeupayaan memudahkan bantuan keselamatan disalurkan dengan lebih cepat di perairan khususnya di Sabah.

Syarikat cari gali minyak negara, Petronas sebelum ini juga telah memberi komitmen bagi menyediakan pelantar berhubung cadangan pelaksanaan sistem tersebut.

Sementara itu, Abdul Aziz berkata, kunjungan Harry ke Malaysia adalah untuk mengukuhkan lagi hubungan bilateral antara Tentera Laut AS dan TLDM.

Selain bertukar-tukar pandangan dan maklumat berkaitan isu keselamatan serantau, turut dibincangkan adalah isu ketenteraan maritim melibatkan kedua-dua angkatan laut tersebut.

Thales Australia has pre-awarded a $5 million contract to RPC Technologies, an Australian specialist engineering company, to manufacture dashboard assemblies for the company’s new Hawkei vehicle. 

The work is conditional on Thales securing a long-term contract with the Department of Defence for Hawkei. It would be carried out at RPC’s manufacturing facilities in Geelong, Victoria, and help sustain jobs over the four-year period of the contract.

Thales Australia CEO Chris Jenkins said: “RPC has the expertise required for the production of military vehicles. Their commitment to excellence in manufacturing and value for money will benefit the Hawkei project, while also securing supply chain skills in Victoria.” 

Tony Caristo, Managing Director of RPC Technologies, said: “RPC is thrilled about the opportunity to work with Thales on the Hawkei project supplying the dashboard assemblies. RPC has a history of supporting Thales, having been involved with the Bushmaster program and also Thales Underwater Systems. This contract will help to secure the workforce of the Geelong plant and build RPC’s presence in Defence.” 

Thales Australia is currently leveraging its specialist procurement experience developed during the Bushmaster program to source industry participants to supply Hawkei components. The company is also using the industry’stechnical and design capabilities to help reduce cost and weight. 

The Bushmaster supply chain itself comprises around 120 Australian Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), with more than 100 based in Victoria and 30 in the Bendigo area. The Bushmaster vehicle contains 65% Australian content, generating long term revenues for a wide range of local component manufacturers and supporting hundreds of Australian jobs. 

Thales has delivered six Hawkei vehicles to the Department of Defence, which are currently undergoing testing under the LAND 121 Phase 4 project that seeks to provide up to 1,300 protected light vehicles. 
Subject to successful testing, final approval of the project is expected around 2015.

One of the new NH90 helicopters of the Helicopter Transistion Unit flew from Ohakea to take part in Exercise ALAM HALFA, in Hawke's Bay, this week. The deep bass note of the big helicopter's four-bladed rotor resonated across the plains as the aircraft approached to touch down at the site of the former Defence rifle range.

Troopers of Queen Alexandra's Mounted Rifles (QAMR), with their squadron of LAVs harboured-in at the command post, waited for the helicopter to pick up rations and supplies that were destined for the outlying patrols around the Bay. The NH90 offloaded a squad of fresh troops, quickly refuelled, then lifted an underslung load of supplies to take to the outposts.

The exercise has ranged from Waiouru to Cape Kidnappers and was due to climax on 24 May with a battle in the Hawke's Bay hills as QAMR track down their 'enemy' and assault their base.

Captive Air Training Missile (CATM-9) (photo : US Navy)

WASHINGTON - The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to Singapore for F-16 Pilot Training and associated equipment, parts, training and logistical support for an estimated cost of $251 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale on Jun 11, 2014.

The Government of Singapore has requested a possible sale of follow-on support and services for Singapore’s Continental United States (CONUS) detachment PEACE CARVIN II (F-16) based at Luke Air Force Base (AFB) for a five-year period. MDE consists of 80 CATM-9M Captive Air Training Missiles. Also included: jet fuel, containers, publications and technical documentation, tactics manuals and academic instruction, maintenance, clothing and individual equipment, execution and support of CONUS exercise deployments, airlift and aerial refueling, support equipment, spare and repair parts, repair and return, personnel training and training equipment, U.S. Government and contractor technical and logistics support services, and other related elements of logistical and program support. The estimated cost is $251 million.

This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a friendly country that has been, and continues to be, an important force for economic progress in Southeast Asia.

Singapore needs this training and equipment to support its F-16 aircraft. The continuation of this training program will enable Singapore to develop mission-ready and experienced F-16 pilots. The well-established pilot proficiency training program at Luke Air Force Base will support professional interaction and enhance operational interoperability with U.S. forces.

The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.

The principal contractor will be Raytheon Corporation in Tucson, Arizona. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.

Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government and contractor representatives to Singapore.

There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.

This notice of a potential sale is required by law and does not mean the sale has been concluded.

Japan, Australia Agree on Stealth Technology Deal

TOKYO (AP) — Japan and Australia agreed Wednesday to jointly develop stealth submarine technology, as Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe pushes his country toward a more assertive global military role.

The submarine technology was a top item at talks among the nations' foreign and defense ministers in Tokyo and was included in an agreement to step up cooperation in defense equipment and technology.

Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera told a joint news conference after the talks that the ministers agreed to begin the research next year. It will focus on technology that is applicable to any vessel including submarines, he said, but declined to give further details.

"I have high expectations for successful results," he said. Onodera said the research and possible technology transfer would not violate Japan's pacifist constitution.

Onodera and Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida were joined by their Australian counterparts, Julie Bishop and David Johnston, at Wednesday's meeting. The four also agreed to strengthen military ties.

The research aims to develop faster submarines with reduced water resistance and quieter propellers, Japanese defense officials said earlier this week. But the joint research will not necessarily lead to the sale of Japanese submarines to Australia, which is exploring purchasing submarines from Germany and France as well.

The research, however, widens the possibility of Japan supplying military technology overseas. The Abe government in April eased Japan's self-imposed limits on military exports, paving the way for its largely domestic defense industry to go global. Japan has also agreed to develop hazmat suits with Britain, and is seeking to export search and rescue aircraft to India.

Abe says the U.S.-Japan alliance remains central to his security policy, but has widened defense cooperation with Britain, France, India and several Asian-Pacific nations, particularly Australia, amid an expansion of Chinese military activities in the region and concern that budget pressures may reduce America's presence.

He is trying to ease constitutional restraints so Japan's military can use force not only in Japan's own defense but also to defend foreign troops.

Onodera has said Australia has a strong interest in Japan's submarine technology. Johnston is expected to tour a Japanese Soryu-class submarine at Yokosuka naval port, south of Tokyo, during his visit.

The 2,950-ton diesel-electric submarine is the most advanced model in Japan's fleet of 16 submarines. It comes with air-independent propulsion technology acquired from Sweden, and is armed with torpedoes and Harpoon missiles.

"We would like the Australian side to closely look at Japanese defense equipment so we can build an even more cooperative relationship between Japan and Australia," Onodera told reporters last Friday.

Australia is also in talks with Germany and France about a 40 billion Australian dollar ($37 billion) plan to replace its Collins-class submarines.

A specialized team of Helibras and Airbus Helicopters experts tested a prototype of the EC725 carrying anti-surface missiles installed on either side of the aircraft.

The Exocet AM39 missiles will equip eight of the 16 EC725 helicopters belonging to the Brazilian Navy, which are part of the contract for 50 EC725s signed with the Brazilian Ministry of Defense for the three Army corps.


More than 20 flights were performed in Marignane during a one month period, starting April 28.

Experiments performed with such heavy weapons, weighing around 700 kg per missile, are very rare and require close coordination and collaboration among several departments, including the armament, structures, integration, computation, aerodynamics, loads, vibrations and flight tests.

Similar with that, in 1986 PTDI test AS-332C Super Puma equipped with AM-39 Exocet (photo : Defense Studies)

The tests evaluated the behavior of the aircraft in critical phases of flight. The vibration levels, handling qualities, and performance were evaluated and the structural and aerodynamic loads verified.

The helicopter flew with instrumentation sensors and accelerometers installed to capture and record the results that will help engineering teams at Helibras and Airbus Helicopters move to the next steps of systems integration and development on the naval version.

F/A-50 model for PAF (image : adrian bernardi)

MANILA (PNA) -- The letter of credit(LOC) for the South Korean F/A-50 "Fighting Eagle" will be signed within the month.

The signing will take place by this coming week or the next, Defense undersecretary for finance, modernization, installation and munitions Fernando Manalo, said.

No other details were given.

An LOC is a document issued by a financial institution, or a similar party, assuring payment to a seller of goods and/or services provided certain documents have been presented to the bank.

Contract for the Korean Aerospace Industries (KAI) jet aircraft, of which the Philippines has ordered 12 units for P18 billion, was signed last March 28.

Upon signing of the LOC, two F/A-50 jet aircraft are expected to be delivered 18 months after.

While the next two will be delivered 12 months later and the remaining eight jet planes to be delivered in staggered basis within eight months.

The F/A-50 has a top speed of Mach 1.5 or one and a half times the speed of sound and is capable of being fitted air-to-air missiles, including the AIM-9 "Sidewinder" air-to-air and heat-seeking missiles aside from light automatic cannons.

The F/A-50 will act as the country's interim fighter until the Philippines get enough experience of operating fast jet assets and money to fund the acquisition of more capable fighter aircraft.

The F/A-50 design is largely derived from the F-16 "Fighting Falcon", and they have many similarities: use of a single engine, speed, size, cost, and the range of weapons.

KAI's previous engineering experience in license-producing the KF-16 was a starting point for the development of the F/A-50.

The aircraft can carry two pilots in tandem seating. The high-mounted canopy developed by Hankuk Fiber is applied with stretched acrylic, providing the pilots with good visibility, and has been tested to offer the canopy with ballistic protection against four-pound objects impacting at 400 knots.

The altitude limit is 14,600 meters (48,000 feet), and airframe is designed to last 8,000 hours of service.

There are seven internal fuel tanks with capacity of 2,655 liters (701 US gallons), five in the fuselage and two in the wings.

An additional 1,710 liters (452 US gallons) of fuel can be carried in the three external fuel tanks.

Trainer variants have a paint scheme of white and red, and aerobatic variants white, black, and yellow.

The F/A-50 "Fighting Eagle" uses a single General Electric F404-102 turbofan engine license-produced by Samsung Techwin, upgraded with a full authority digital engine control system jointly developed by General Electric and KAI.

The engine consists of three-staged fans, seven axial stage arrangement, and an afterburner.

The aircraft has a maximum speed of Mach 1.4-1.5.

Its engine produces a maximum of 78.7 kN (17,700 lbf) of thrust with afterburner.

Through introducing technology from China and Pakistan, Myanmar plans to produce FC-1/JF-17 Xiaolong/Thunder multirole fighters domestically for its air force, reports the Yangon-based Myanmar Times.

The Myanmar Air Force has 23,000 pilots and ground personnel. With 10 major air force bases, it currently operates 32 Russian-built MiG-29B and MiG-29SE fighters, 25 Chinese-built J-7M fighters, 21 Chinese built Q-5 attackers and 16 trainers. In addition, it also has nine Mi-35 attack helicopters and more than 90 other types of helicopters. Chinese military aircraft have become very popular among the military of Myanmar in recent years, according to the report.

The air force has been looking to purchase a license from China or Pakistan to produce its own Xiaolong fighters, according to the report. Designed jointly by the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group and Pakistan Aeronautical Complex, the FC-1/JF-17 fighter is capable of carrying air-to-air missiles including the PL-5EII, PL-9C and PL-12. The C-802A anti-ship missile can also be equipped when the Myanmar Air Force needs to provide air support to the nation's naval forces in combat.

When facing an enemy aircraft in close combat, the Xiaolong can attack its target with its Russian-built Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-23 twin-barreled 23 mm autocannon. The Pakistan Air Force is currently the only air force in the world operating Xiaolong. About 54 JF-17s have been produced in Pakistan for the air force. Other countries in Southeast Asia like Bangladesh could be potential consumers of Xiaolong fighters in the near future.

The brand new left-hand drive version will be appearing in the live demonstration zone, offering potential international customers a first opportunity to see the vehicle in action.

A right-hand drive version will also be on the Thales stand, along with many of the company’s other capabilities.

Chris Jenkins said: “The Hawkei’s bolted modular design enables Thales to support technology transfer to countries where industrialisation can be performed at lower cost, giving customers the opportunity to develop their own in-country protected mobility capabilities and skills.”

The 7-tonne, 4x4 Hawkei is designed for rapid airmobile deployment. Available in a variety of variants including command, reconnaissance, liaison and utility, it is a compelling choice for operations with limited point-of-entry options.

In 2013 Thales delivered six Hawkeis to the Australian Department of Defence under Stage 2 of the Manufactured and Supported in Australia option of Land 121 Phase 4. The vehicles, comprising two Command, two Utility and two Reconnaissance variants, plus a trailer, have been subject to an extensive 130,000 km testing programme.

The LAND 121 Phase 4 programme plans to acquire 1,300 Hawkei vehicles next year to replace the current Australian Army Land Rover fleet.

“We developed Hawkei to appeal to the global market from the outset, based on class-leading foundations of protection, mobility and payload combined at an affordable price point. These ensure the vehicle can be readily configured to meet the specific needs of countries looking to keep their soldiers safe on operations”. said Chris Jenkins, CEO Thales Australia.

Pesawat angkut militer C-130H A-1330 eks RAAF (photo : Ikahan)

AUSTRALIA – Pada Juli 2012, Pemerintah Australia dan Pemerintah Indonesia menandatangani perjanjian untuk menyerahkan empat pesawat Hercules C-130H Australia kepada Indonesia. Sebelum dikirim ke Indonesia,  empat pesawat tersebut dibenahi terlebih dulu. Qantas Defence Services (sekarang disebut Northrop Grumman Intergrated Defence Services) ditunjuk oleh Kemhan untuk menyelesaikan pekerjaan pembenahan tersebut. C-130H pertama (A-1330) berangkat dari Australia pada tanggal 27 November 2013. Artikel ini menguraikan perbaikan dari TNI A-1331 dan pengiriman selanjutnya ke Indonesia.

Pekerjaan pada TNI A-1331 dimulai pada Agustus 2013 dan melibatkan strip lengkap dari pesawat dan inspeksi korosi. Insinyur pesawat melakukan servis dan pemeliharaan untuk pesawat sesuai jadwal yang telah direncanakan dan disepakati oleh Kemhan dengan tujuan untuk mengembalikan pesawat setelah servis penuh. Selama periode enam bulan dalam pekerjaan pemeliharaan pesawat, tim Northrop Grumman didukung oleh tiga perwakilan teknis TNI-AU.

Setelah pekerjaan tersebut,  pesawat disiapkan untuk dikirim kepada Pemerintah Indonesia. Selama periode ini perwakilan teknis berkonsultasi dengan Angkatan Udara Australia untuk mempersiapkan dokumen teknis serah terima. Pada awal April 2014, tim Indonesian Military Airworthiness Authority (IMAA) yang dipimpin oleh Letkol Catur Martowo Aji tiba di Sydney, Australia untuk meninjau dokumen tersebut dan pesawat sebelum masa pengujian. Setelah pemeriksaan, pesawat A-1331 dibersihkan untuk pengujian penerbangan. Terdapat 12 awak dari TNI-AU yang dipimpin oleh Letkol Adrian Damanik bertanggung jawab untuk pengujian penerbangan pesawat selama periode 26 -30 April 2014. Setelah uji coba dianggap berhasil,  pesawat TNI A-1331 diterbangkan oleh awak TNI-AU ke Townsville di mana pesawatnya diganti warna dan diberi TNI-AU.


Pada akhir Mei 2014, Letkol Damanik dan awaknya kembali ke Townsville untuk mengumpulkan TNI A-1331 dengan warna TNI-AU. Pesawat kembali ke Sydney di mana pesawatnya diperiksa oleh tim TNI-AU untuk persiapan pengiriman dan persediaan. Pesawat A-1331 akhirnya meninggalkan Richmond pada pagi berkabut 2 Juli 2014 untuk penerbangan feri kembali ke Jakarta via Darwin. Walah terjadi kerusakan kecil pada mesin saat di Darwin yang mengakibatkan penerbangan tertunda 24 jam namun penerbangan kembali ke Jakarta berjalan dengan baik.

A-1331 kembali ke pangkalan udara Halim pada tanggal 4 Juli 2014 di mana tim dari Kemhan dan tim TNI-AU melakukan penerimaan sepenuhnya. A-1331 kini mengabdi kepada TNI-AU. Departmen Pertahanan Australia mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Kementerian Pertahanan Indonesia dan Northrop Grumman atas dukungan mereka selama program perbaikan TNI A-1331. Dan kami juga turut berterima kasih kepada semua personil yang terlibat untuk dedikasi dan profesionalisme mereka dalam mendukung pengiriman A-1331 ke Indonesia.

Tiga pesawat Erieye cukup untuk mengontrol seluruh ruang udara Malaysia (photo : SaabGroup)

Teknologi kawal ruang udara

MELINDUNGI ruang udara sesebuah negara daripada dicerobohi merupakan tugas yang cukup kritikal dan mencabar yang memerlukan sokongan perlatan terkini yang mampu menghadapi apa juga cabaran yang bakal muncul.

Sokongan teknologi yang sesuai dengan keperluan sesebuah negara cukup penting dalam usaha mengekalkan kedaulatan ruang udara agar tidak dicerobohi sewenang-wenangnya.

Antara yang mempunyai kepakaran dalam teknologi mempertahan dan melindungi ruang udara daripada dicerobohi musuh ialah syarikat yang berpangkalan di Sweden, iaitu Saab.

Menurut Pengarah Urusan Saab International Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., Thomas Linden, mereka memiliki sejarah panjang dalam membekalkan sistem-sistem yang berprestasi tinggi dan kos efisien kepada Angkatan Tentera Malaysia.

“Ini termasuklah sistem radar tentara darat dan laut, sistem perlindungan udara untuk jet-jet pejuang, sistem arahan dan kawalan kapal, serta senjata sokongan tentera.

“Saab menawarkan Malaysia dengan produk-produk, perkhidmatan dan penyelesaian yang menerajui dunia, bermula daripada pertahanan ketenteraan hinggalah keselamatan awam. Dengan operasi di setiap benua, kami terus membangunkan, mengadaptasi dan menambah baik teknologi baharu demi memenuhi keperluan pelanggan yang sentiasa berubah," katanya.

Saab menawarkan produk-produk, penyelesaian dan sistem yang kompetitif. Selain sokongan dan servis untuk lima segmen pasaran berbeza seperti aeronatik ketenteraan, kapal laut, darat, keselamatan awam dan aeronatik komersial.

Saab bukan sahaja penyedia teknologi-teknologi yang boleh dipercayai dan menerajui dunia. Malah selaku pembekal kepada rantau Asia Pasifik, kami turut membawakan budaya kebolehpercayaan, boleh diharap dan hubungan jangka masa panjang. Di peringkat antarabangsa, Saab dianggarkan memiliki 14,000 orang kakitangan.

Antara produk penting Saab dalam membantu mengukuhkan sistem pertahanan ialah ialah Sistem amaran awal dan kawalan udara ERIEYE (AEW&C) yang merupakan satu-satunya radar operasi udara dengan ciri Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) yang digunakan di dunia pada hari ini.

ERIEYE AEW&C digunakan dalam pelbagai pesawat berbeza di seluruh dunia. Ini termasuklah pesawat jet Embraer 145 dan Turboprop Saab 2000.

Ia menggunakan radar ERIEYE generasi terkini yang kini mampu mengesan sasasaran udara yang kecil, helikopter, peluru berpandu jarak jauh, serta sasaran kecil di laut seperti bot-bot nelayan dan bot getah. Sistem radar udara ini mempunyai keupayaan yang mengagumkan - peningkatannya memberikan jarak tambahan berikutan bentuk Bumi yang melengkung.

Menurut Linden, dalam kes Malaysia misalnya, dengan ERIEYE AEW&C, penggunaan tiga buah pesawat di udara sudah cukup untuk memantau seluruh ruang udara negara ini pada satu-satu masa.

Maksudnya, sistem ini memberikan Malaysia kawalan sepenuhnya bukan sahaja kepada ruang udara ketenteraan dan awam. Malah ke atas semua aktiviti di laut termasuklah perikanan, pendatang haram, pencemaran, penyeludupan, lanun serta perlindungan ke atas pelantar minyak dan gas. Rakan strategik Saab di Malaysia untuk AEW&C ialah DRB-HICOM - satu kerjasama yang akan mencipta peluang pekerjaan berteknologi tinggi, bukan sahaja sepanjang projek berlangsung, malah sepanjang kitaran hayatnya.

Malaysia, Indonesia dan Singapura telah melancarkan Program Eyes In The Sky (EiS) untuk menangani masalah lanun di Selat Melaka pada 13 September 2005.

Kata Linden, projek itu dianggap berjaya apabila negara-negara terlibat menggunakan pesawat seperti RSAF Fokker F-50, TNI-AL IPTN NC-212 dan RMAF B-200 TMP.

Penambahan sistem AEW&C pada pesawat-pesawat ini akan memberi perubahan besar kepada EiS. Ia berpotensi untuk membawa kejayaan program ini ke tahap yang lebih tinggi.

Apabila sesuatu yang luar biasa dikesan, AEW&C mampu menggerakkan pertahanan dalam bentuk berbeza untuk mengukuhkan keselamatan negara. Di udara, AEW&C boleh mengerahkan sebuah jet pejuang untuk memintas pesawat yang tidak dikenali. Di laut pula, AEW&C boleh memberi panduan kepada Pesawat Kawalan Maritim (MSA), tentera laut atau kapal Peronda Pantai untuk menyiasat apa yang sedang berlaku. Sokongan ini juga membantu merekod serta mendokumentasikan aktiviti-aktiviti haram dengan lebih terperinci menerusi gambar dan video yang boleh digunakan untuk tujuan pendakwaan.

Penjenayah tidak mampu mengelak daripada dikesan oleh AEW&C kerana mereka tidak boleh memantau sistem ini dari darat. Memandangkan AEW&C terbang tinggi, mereka yang berada di laut juga tidak boleh mengesan kehadiran AEW&C dengan pandangan mata biasa atau melalui teropong.

KRI Bung Tomo class (photo : Militaryphotos, Armada Timur)


“……Blarrrrr….suara dahsyat meyalak dari tabung peluncur torpedo KRI Bung Tomo-357 di perairan utara Inggris….kobaran api dihadapi oleh Fire Fighting Team dengan sigap….”
Perairan Glasgow, Senin 9 Juni 2014.

Suhu udara di perairan utara Inggris di Perairan Glasgow terasa menggigil walaupun matahari bersinar terang, hal tersebut dikarenakan hembusan angin dari balik bukit yang bertiup cukup kencang. Sesosok kapal perang dengan siluet yang garang bergerak senyap dari pelabuhan Fairly Quaey menuju lautan lepas. Ternyata sosok kapal perang tersebut adalah KRI Bung Tomo- 357, merupakan Multy Role Light Fregate yang dalam waktu dekat akan menjadi bagian kekuatan Alutsista TNI Angkatan Laut sedang berada di perairan tersebut melaksanakan pentahapan “Sea Demonstrations”, Senin (9/6), untuk pengujian system platform dan kesenjataan serta calon pengawak kapal dalam mengoperasikan seluruh peralatan yang melengkapi kapal tersebut. Dua kapal sejenis lagi yang akan memperkuat jajaran Alutsista TNI AL, yaitu KRI John Lie-358 dan KRI Usman Harun-359.

Kapal perang tersebut dilengkapi dengan kesenjataan yang sangat kompleks dan lengkap yang didukung oleh Paltform System yang baik. Radar Navigasi, Radar Surveillance untuk mendukung pengamatan udara serta Radar Tracker Senjata untuk mengendalikan arah dan elevasi secara akurat terhadap sasaran Meriam 76 mm Otomelara Super Rapid Gun OSRG) dan 30 mm di lambung kanan dan kiri kapal yang dapat berperan sebagai CIWS (Close in Weapon System) jika ada bahaya udara mengancam kapal tersebut.


Kelengkapan system sensor senjata juga dilengkapi dengan EOTs (Electro Optical Tracker System) untuk pengendalian meriam kapal dan pengamatan secara visual oleh camera video yang ada. Layaknya sebuah frigate, KRI Bung Tomo 357 juga dilengkapi sensor bawah air yang memiliki tingkat akurasi yang baik dalam mendeteksi dan mengklasifikasi kontak bawah air yaitu sonar. Untuk propulsion system maupun pesawat – pesawat bantu yang ada di kapal tersebut dikontrol secara computerisasi oleh IPMS (Integrated Platform Manajemen System) sehingga jika ada kerusakan / failure pada salah satu system kapal akan terdeteksi secara dini.

…. Blaarrr suara keras tiba – tiba terdengar dari lambung kanan KRI Bung Tomo 357, ternyata suara tersebut berasal dari peluncur tabung torpedo yang ditembakan secara local setelah tabung udaranya diisi oleh udara dengan kekuatan sampai dengan 1650 Bar. Tidak lama berselang, suara alarm kapal tiba – tiba terdengar dan orang – orang berhamburan berlari menuju geladak heli….. peran kebakaran …peran kebakaran …. Peran kebakaran…. Kebakaran terjadi di …instalasi avcat helly deck….Lettu Laut (T) Wakijo dan Letda Laut (T) Azzuan memimpin Fire Fighting Team untuk mengatasi kebakaran yang terjadi. Tiga orang pertama telah datang ke lokasi kebakaran hanya berselang beberapa menit setelah terdengar alarm peran yang dipimpin langsung oleh Katim PEK. Selanjutnya empat orang telah datang dengan menggunakan pakaian PEK lengkap dengan peralatan pendukungnya tiba dilokasi kebakaran untuk melanjutkan penangulangan. Bersyukur….api hanya dalam waktu singkat dapat diatasi oleh kesigapan Team PEK KRI Bung Tomo 357 dan seluruh anggota sudah dapat memahami seluruh prosedur dan mekanisme dalam penanganan kebakaran dikapal dengan menggunakan peralatan dan perlengkapan yang belum pernah mereka gunakan sebelumnya…dibawah binaan Mr. Rore yang mantan Boosmant di salah satu Destroyer  Royal Navy dan merupakan veteran Perang Malvinas sebagai trainer, pengetahuan dan pemahaman Fire Fighting Team dapat diserap dengan baik.

Ternyata kejadian tersebut merupakan bagian dari skenario latihan dalam even Sea Demonstration KRI Bung Tomo 357. Dalam kesempatan tersebut juga telah dilaksanakan pengujian kehandalan kapal dalam bermanuver, crash stop dari maju penuh sampai dengan kapal mencapai Top Speed dan PDL (Power Demand Level) dari anjungan di gerakan dari maju penuh langsung mundur penuh… disisinilah diuji bahwa realibility main engine propulsion system yang dikendalikan  betul – betul diuji kehandalannya. Tidak terasa hentakan, getaran maupun bunyi – bunyi yang menghawatirkan dari system MPK yang dioperasikan secara ekstrim. Akselerasi kapal juga sangat bagus dengan diameter taktis yang sangat kecil saat melaksanakan circle maneuver sehingga walaupun kapal dengan bobot besar kapal tersebut sangat lincah.


Komandan Satgas Yekda MRLF, Kolonel Laut (P) Nyoman Sudihartawan on board langsung saat dilaksanakan sea demonstrate KRI Bung Tomo 357 di perairan Glasgow. Pengujian penembakan Meriam 76 mm OSRG dan meriam 30 mm yang berada di lambung kanan dan kiri diuji coba terhadap sasaran permukaan maupun udara dengan menggunakan sarana deteksi yang ada yaitu EOTs (Electro Optical Tracker System) dan Radar Tracker 1802 SW. Kontak permukaan dapat di lock on. Demikian juga halnya terhadap kemampuan menghadapi ancaman bahaya udara, pesawat Cesna yang menjadi sasaran udara bermanuver melaksanakan serangan terhadap KRI TOM 357 dapat di lock on dengan baik oleh sarana penjejak tersebut sehingga kemanapun pergerakan pesawat dapat diikuti oleh laras meriam untuk ditembak.

Simulasi penembakan rudal Exocet MM 40 Block 2 yang melengkapai kapal juga telah dilaksanakan pengujian dengan melaksanakan simulasi penembakan rudal bersamaan dengan pengujian decoy sebagai perisai kapal terhadap serangan anti rudal yang mungkin terjadi saat perang. Untuk menghadapi peperangan AKS (Anti Kapal Selam), telah dilaksanakan pengujian penggunaan sonar baik pada mode pasiv untuk melaksanakan pengamatan kondisi taktis bawah air maupun active mode untuk melaksanakan deteksi dan klasifikasi kontak bawah air. Kemampuan sonar sangat bagus untuk mendukung peperangan bawah air dengan berbagai feature yang ada selain yang disebutkan tadi juga dilengkapi untuk mewaspadai adanya serangan torpedo dari kapal lawan dan mendukung pelaksanaan “mine field transit” (melewati medan ranjau), sebelum dilaksanakan pengoperasian sonar dilaksanakan pengukuran parameter – parameter lingkungan dengan menggunakan XBT (Expandable Bathy Thermograph) sehingga dapat diketahui layer – layer bawah air dan optimum operasional sonar system.

Calon Komandan KRI Bung Tomo 357, Kolonel Laut (P) Yayan Sofiyan, S.T. beserta anak buahnya yang terdiri dari 7 personel expert dan 9 key personel telah berada di Inggris sejak beberapa bulan yang lalu mengikuti program pelatihan dan penyiapan Cawak merasakan kebanggaan yang sangat besar mendapatkan kesempatan untuk mempelajari kapal tersebut yang nanti akan mereka awaki berlayar menuju tanah air.Dalam waktu dekat rakyat Indonesia akan memiliki 3 (tiga) kapal perang dengan Weapon System dan Paltform System yang dapat dibanggakan untuk mengamankan berbagai kepentingan nasional baik di dalam maupun diluar yurisdiksi nasional. Kapal perang tersebut juga sebagai sarana diplomasi angkatan laut terhadap dunia internasional karena mampu dikerahkan ke berbagai pelosok dunia untuk mengamankan kepentingan negara, mendukung misi – misi perdamaian dibawah bendera PBB seperti halnya yang saat ini sedang dilaksanakan oleh KRI Frans Kaisiepo 368 yang tergabung dalam misi Unifil di Lebanon. Kehadirannya di berbagai Hot Area di wilayah perbatasan maupun di perairan Indonesia yang memiliki eskalasi tinggi tentunya akan menjadi perhitungan siapapun yang akan berbuat macam – macam terhadap integritas NKRI karena kemampuan kapal yang sangat kompleks.


Pengerahan MRLF untuk diikut sertakan dalam even latihan berskala internasional baik dalam konteks bilateral maupun multilateralpun akan meningkatkan gengsi bangsa Indonesia. Seluruh cawak baik yang saat ini sudah berada di Inggris maupun yang sedang mengikuti persiapan KPPK di Kolatarmatim saling bahu membahu memahami dan mempelajari karakter kapal perang yang akan mereka awaki sehingga pada saatnya nanti seluruh kemampuan kapal dapat secara maksimal dioperasionalkan sesuai perkembangan taktis dilapangan. 
 “Program–program pelatihan setiap saat selalu dilaksanakan evaluasi untuk mempercepat pemahaman system disamping kesibukan penyusunan berbagai dokumen – dokumen kapal yang akan sangat berguna dalam proses kaderisasi selanjutnya”, kata Kolonel Laut (P) Yayan Sofiyan, S.T. disela-sela latihan.

Untuk meningkatkan moril dan semangat secara periodik dilaksanakan briefing dan penyampaian pointers – pointers / petunjuk komandan terhadap anak buahnya di Inggris maupun di Indonesia dengan memanfaatkan sarana komunikasi yang ada. Dalam era modern jarak yang memisahkan antara mereka bukan menjadi hambatan, akselerasi organisasi dapat dikontrol dengan baik oleh Sang Komandan dimanapun dan kapanpun sehingga berbagai upaya dapat dilaksanakan secara integrative dan terkontrol. Ungkapan terimakasih disampaikan oleh Sang Calon Komandan beserta seluruh Cawak atas kesempatan yang diberikan oleh Pemimpin TNI Angkatan Laut khususnya dan kepada rakyat Indonesia pada umumnya.

Dalam waktu dekat kapal tersebut dengan kobaran semangat “SATRIA JALADHI TANGGWA” (Ksatria Laut yang Tangguh) layaknya semangat Bung Tomo yang penuh dengan militansi dan heroisme sudah siap berlaga dalam berbagai arena membela kepentingan bangsa dan negara Indonesia tercinta mengibarkan bendera Victory “JALES VEVA JAYA MAHE” di setiap penjuru samudera raya baik didalam maupun luar yurisdiksi nasional.

Defence Minister Jonathan Coleman says the Government has given approval for the NZDF to seek a replacement for the Steyr rifle.

“It is important NZDF personnel are well equipped and have effective modern rifles suited to today’s operational environment,” says Dr Coleman.

“The Steyr rifle has served the NZDF well for over 20 years and it has seen considerable operational use, but it is now reaching the end of its lifespan. Weapon technology has advanced considerably since the NZDF purchased the Steyr rifle in 1987.

“Modern rifles can be adapted to individual needs, maximising the effectiveness of the weapon. They can be fitted with a range of advanced day and night sights, and other specialised equipment. They can also be adjusted to suit different body sizes, and for the wearing of personal kit.

“NZDF personnel need a rifle that can be optimised for a range of situations. Operational experience in Afghanistan and Timor-Leste highlighted the importance of effectively identifying and engaging targets in various settings.

“The Steyr replacement is part of a wider personal weapons replacement programme. New light machine guns, combat shotguns and designated marksman rifles have been introduced to service. Future projects are also planned to look at the in-service pistol, sniper rifles, and grenade launchers.”

The Government has given approval for the Ministry of Defence to conduct a competitive tender process to purchase an ‘off the shelf’ rifle to replace the Steyr rifle with a new fleet of up to 8,800 rifles and associated accessories. The NZDF will trial short-listed weapons against the NZDF user requirements and a recommendation will be made to Cabinet early next year. The new rifle is expected to be introduced into service by 2016-17.

Maritime security strengthened through Pacific Patrol Boat Program

A new $2 billion Pacific Patrol Boat (PPB) Program unveiled today by Foreign Minister Julie Bishop and Defence Minister David Johnston aims to significantly strengthen security in our region.

“The Pacific Patrol Boat Program is an important pillar of the Australian Government’s commitment to working with our regional partners to enable cohesive security cooperation on maritime surveillance, including in fisheries protection and transnational crime,” Minister Bishop said. 

“Defence will replace the current fleet of patrol boats for all current PPB members with the addition of  a new member, Timor-Leste (East Timor), which has been invited to join the program, evidence of Australia’s growing defence cooperation program with that country,” said Senator Johnston.

“The current fleet of 22 patrol boats gifted to 12 Pacific Island countries from 1987 to 1997 are now approaching their end of service life.

“This new program will involve the construction of more than 20 steel, all purpose patrol vessels that will considerably enhance the maritime security of our Pacific and regional partners,” he said, adding: “Australia has a fundamental strategic interest in the security and stability of Pacific island nations.”

Senator Johnston said the rugged Australian-made patrol boats are worth $594 million with through life sustainment and personnel costs estimated at $1.38 billion over 30 years.

In the coming months discussions will be held with PPB states on the individual allocation of patrol vessels.

Replacement patrol boats will be offered to all current participating states including Papua New Guinea, Tonga, Solomon Islands, Fiji, Tuvalu, Kiribati, Samoa, Vanuatu, Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, Republic of Marshall Islands, Cook Islands and new member Timor-Leste.

Under the program, Defence will undertake an open tender for the procurement which includes an option for ongoing sustainment and crew training.

Tamworth, NSW — BAE Systems will continue delivering military aviation training to the Royal Brunei Air Force (RBAirF), with the signing of a contract to train six students across three courses during 2014-15.

BAE Systems has been training RBAF pilots since 2009, when two students started basic flying training (BFT). The relationship has deepened, with the RBAF putting students through our other training packages, including basic helicopter, multi-engine and instructor training. During the past five years, RBAF students have graduated from 10 different military aviation courses offered at our Flight Training Tamworth academy in NSW.

The contract was signed on behalf of the RBAF by Air Force Deputy Commander Colonel Hamzah Sahat and the Commanding Officer 63 Sqn, Major Azmie Iskandar Ariffin, who visited Flight Training Tamworth, as well as the Company’s Williamtown, NSW, facility.

The RBAF is one of several international Defence force customers for BAE Systems’ military aviation training at Tamworth. The Company also provides air grading for the Republic of Singapore Air Force, CASA qualification training for the Republic of Singapore flying instructors and flight training for Papua New Guinea Defence Force pilots and flying instructors. 

BAE Systems has also delivered flight screening and basic flight training services to the Australian Defence Force (ADF) at Flight Training Tamworth since 1992. 

Building on this extensive training capability, BAE Systems has teamed with Beechcraft and CAE in a bid to deliver the Air 5428 project – the ADF’s new pilot training system.

The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) personnel are participating in the multi-national air-to-air combat training exercise, code-named Red Flag 14-2, at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) in Anchorage, Alaska, US.

The RAAF contingent includes 68 personnel and a pair of C-130J Super Hercules aircraft.

The Australian contingent will showcase a recently upgraded electronic warfare (EW) self-protection system during the exercise.

The three-week exercise involves participation of armed forces from Japan, and the US as well.

RAAF No. 37 Squadron commanding officer wing commander Darren Goldie said Red Flag Alaska serves as an important training opportunity for personnel, by replicating modern battlefield with simulated missiles, enemy radar systems, as well as 'aggressor' fighter jets.

"Everyone who comes to Red Flag Alaska gets something from this, including our maintenance personnel, logistics and supply workforce, and personnel capability specialists," Goldie said.

"We'll be flying Hercules on tactical airlift missions as part of a wider group of aircraft that includes strike jets, fighters and surveillance aircraft."

Goldie said: "The aircrew have been developing techniques to use these systems, but Exercise Red Flag Alaska will provide a suitably complex training environment before we ever have to employ it in the real world."

Exercise Red Flag 14-2 is scheduled to conclude on 27 June.

Held four times annually, Red Flag is a US Pacific Air Forces Command (PACAF)-led large force employment exercise designed to train pilots and other flight crew members from the US, Nato and other allied countries for real air combat situations.

Divided into two teams, namely Blue Forces and Red Forces, the participants perform counter air, precision strike and offensive air support in packages of up to 100 aircraft during each exercise.
