espite the Indonesian air force only this year signing a contract to receive 11 Sukhoi Su-35 fighters from Russia, Western manufacturers are still eyeing the potential to offer their wares under an expected continuation of the recapitalisation of its combat aircraft fleet. The air force operates a mixed fleet including Su-27, Su-30, Hawk 100 and 200s, and the F-16, and the experience that Jakarta had in operating the older Sukhoi designs was touted as the reasoning for selecting the Su-35. However, this deal has not run smoothly, with a barter agreement in place to finance the deal, and sanctions from the US government over sales with Russia having complicated it further, so buying Western designs could provide Indonesia with an easy route to expanding the fleet. A number of OEMs have expressed an interest in pitching for fighter requirements expected to emerge, including Saab, which would be willing to team locally to provide an offering with industrial benefits, and BAE Systems, which would offer the newer version of the Hawk, or if it met the criteria, even the Eurofighter Typhoon. Lockheed Martin is delivering a mid-life upgrade on 10 of the F-16s in service with the IAF, Randy Howard, programme lead for the

company, told the Show Daily, and an additional 24 of the type have been transferred from the US government’s former fleet, representing a sizeable amount of the total fighter force. The company would offer the Block 70/72 F-16V (Viper) with capabilities including an AESA radar for any new-build sales, Howard said: “We believe that Indonesia is looking to further recapitalise its fighter fleet, and the F-16 Block 70/72 would be a suitable fit for this,” he explained. “The F-16 is uniquely qualified for this geopolitical environment that Indonesia faces.” Howard noted that the F-16V would fulfil air-toground, air-to-air and sea search requirements suited to the air force, and would benefit from radar technology that is common with that found on the F-35. He also emphasised that it would add commonality with the growing fleet. “We know how to work with Indonesian industry,” Howard added. “This is exactly what the Indonesians are looking for… We’re here to support the conversations that need to happen.” A sale of the aircraft would also offer commonality with other regional operators of the type, namely Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea.

SMASH and grab BY CHRISTOPHER F FOSS Turkish company Aselsan (Hall A, Stand A50R) is promoting its SMASH 30mm remote-controlled stabilised naval gun system in the region as the main armament of coastal craft or as a secondary armament of larger surface craft. The version on display at Indo Defence is armed with the US Northrop Grumman, Armament Systems (previously ATK Armament Systems) 30mm Bushmaster MK44 dual-feed cannon, with two magazines each holding 75 rounds of ready-use ammunition. The MK44 cannon has been built in large numbers for land and naval applications, but other weapons could be fitted, according to

UAVs fly in from Vietnam BY BETH STEVENSON Vietnamese company Viettel (Hall B, Stand B095) is preparing to deliver its hybridpowered fixed-wing UAV to its domestic navy as of next month, and has a development plan to expand the capability of the aircraft into a longendurance, weaponised platform. Viettel is here showing for the first time outside Vietnam the Shikra, which is a 26kg UAV with a 3.25m wingspan that takes off vertically before transitioning into horizontal flight. The Vietnamese navy plans to begin operating Shikra from land, but it is expected that it will eventually expand this to ship-based operations, enabled by the vertical take-off and landing electric motors on the UAV. This variant has a two-hour endurance, but the company is planning the development of two more versions, one with a 5-6m wingspan that will be able to operate for 10 hours, and one with a 20m wingspan that will be able to operate for 20 hours at ranges up to 150km. Shikra and the mid-sized system have lineof-sight operations, while the larger one will be satellite communications controlled and fully autonomous. Additionally, the larger version

will be able to carry weapons, while the smaller versions are surveillance UAVs. The largest one is entering development now, and will be ready by 2022, Than Hoang Ha, sales executive for the company’s Viettel Aerospace Institute, told the Show Daily. Newer versions will have a new composite structure and more efficient powerplants, he added, noting that all of the design work is Vietnamese. The company also has its Hummer quadcopter UAV on display, a system with a one-hour endurance, 10km range and 1kg payload capacity.

Aselsan. The stabilised independent sensor pod is mounted externally on the right side and includes a thermal camera, day camera, and laser rangefinder and an automatic tracker is also provided. Traverse is 360° when a slip ring is fitted and elevation is from -15° to +55° at 60°/ second. The weapon is laid onto target by the gunner using a flat-panel display but it can also have automatic slew to targets assigned from the ship’s C3 system or target designator. In addition to the actual mount and its associated sensor package and operator’s station, other key elements include the gun control unit, fire control computer, gun interface unit, inclinometer, servo controller, slip ring, batteries and associated charging unit.

As easy as ABC Cleaning the barrel of a cannon cannot be easier than the automatic bore cleaner (ABC System) developed by South Korea’s SooSung Defense Industries (SDI; Hall D, Stand D240I). Unlike the manual method of using a steel brush at the end of a long pole pulled by a number of personnel, the ABC System provides a clean result in a short period of time. It requires only one operator, who can do the job from outside or inside the tank, which further enhances the safety of personnel, especially in hostile or NBC-contaminated environments. Small steel brushes clipped into the outer surface of the ABC cleaner lock into each groove of the barrel. When the operation starts, the cleaner unit is pulled along the entire length of the barrel at the rate of about 2m per minute, all the while spraying cleaning lubricant as it follows the curve. Afterwards the steel brushes are replaced with cotton brushes for a perfect clean. This ensures high shooting accuracy and maximum utilisation of barrel life, because the automatic cleaning process leaves no residue. For the 105mm smoothbore, the process is essentially the same. The ABC system is available for a range of calibres, including RB-76 and RB-127 navy guns, RB-155 artillery barrels and RB-105 smoothbore tank guns.

Kekuatan di laut Saat ini TNI-AL sedang merencanakan untuk memodernisasi kapal incumbent atau melakukan pembelian baru, dimana hal ini mejadi perhatian Saab (Hall D, stand 075), yang memiliki potensi pasar yang lokal dan regional di bidang kelautan/kemaritiman. TNI-AL berencana untuk meningkatkan kapabilitas maritim mereka, dan keberhasilan penjualan combat management system (CMS) 9LV milik Saab untuk Australia dan Thailand telah membuktikan bahwa perusahaan ini telah berpengalaman dan memiliki teknologi yang dibutuhkan. Thailand juga telah mengakuisisi persenjataan Ceros milik Saab. Saab juga mensuplai corvette ke India; corvette, kapal selam dan mine countermeasure vessel (MCMV) ke Singapura; MCMV ke Jepang;

kapal selam dan galangan ke Australia. Menurut Anders Dahl, Direktur Saab Indonesia, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ini merupakan proyek biasa bagi kami.â&#x20AC;? Di Indonesia masih ada permintaan untuk kapal baru dan pembaharuan kapal bekas dimana Saab dapat melakukan keduanya. Pesawat tempur RBS 70 yang sudah beroperasi lebih dari 35 tahun merupakan salah satu produk yang pihak Indonesia bisa memberi Saab kesempatan untuk upgrade. Konfigurasi NG milik Saab dapat meng-upgrade kapabilitas pesawat dengan dipasangnya fungsi autotracker tambahan, dan konfigurasi night-sight yang sudah didemonstrasikan untuk Indonesia baru-baru ini. Termasuk juga misil Bolide, dan Saab juga menawarkan radar Giraffe 1X X-band dalam bentuk portable.

Di jalur ekspor

Hanhwa Land Systems (Hall D, Stand D265A), yang merupakan perusahaan milik Korea Selatan tetap melanjutkan produksi artileri K9 Thunder 155mm/52 calibre self-propelled (SP) hingga tahun 2021. Perusahaan ini sekarang sedang berusaha untuk mendapatkan kontrak ekspor tambahan untuk kelanjutan produksi kendaraan ini setelah tahun 2021. Walaupun K9 Thunder awalnya dikembangkan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan operasional tentara Korea Selatan, namun ada potensi pasar ekspor yang cukup signifikan untuk bersaing dengan artileri PzH 2000 155mm/52 calibre SP buatan Jerman dalam memperebutkan kontrak pasar ekspor. Selama ini penjualan ekspor dikirim ke Estonia, Finlandia, India, Norwegia, Polandia dan Turki. Beberapa mengimpor kendaraan baru, tapi ada juga yang hanya meng-upgrade artileri lama; termasuk produksi lokal di Turki (baru, contoh: Firtina), India (baru dan produksi lokal) dan Polandia (hull untuk turret Crab 155mm/52 calibre).

Prototipe K9 Thunder SP yang diminati pasar ekspor

Dikarenakan kendaraan ini terdapat persenjataan on-board dan navigasi darat, dia dapat dikerahkan untuk menyerang dan menembak secara simultan. Tingkat ledakan untuk tiga kali penembakan kurang dari 15 detik dengan maksimal 6-8 ronde/menit dalam waktu tiga menit; dengan total peluru 48 x 155mm. 155mm/52 calibre ordance memiliki 23 ruang sesuai dengan MOU dari NATO Joint Ballistic. Jarak yang dapat ditempuh tergantung

oleh jenis peluru. Ketika menembak peluru 155mm M107 high-explosive (HE), jarak yang ditempuh mencapai 18km, akan tetapi menembak dengan peluru yang dikembangkan perusahaan lokal, 155mm K315 HE dapat memperpanjang jarak tempuh hingga 50km. Untuk dapat menyuplai K9 Thunder dengan peluru baru, Hanhwa land System telah mengembangkan dan memproduksi K10 Ammunition Resupply Vehicle, yang dibuat dengan hull serupa.

12 BY BETH STEVENSON Leonardo (Hall D, Stand D208) dan LIG Nex1 (Hall D, Stand D240 C) telah menandatangani kontrak yang untuk kebutuhan upgrade kapabilitas identification friend or foe (IFF) ke standar terbaru Mode 5 milik militer Korea Selatan. IFF memberikan operator kemampuan untuk mengindentifikasi antara pasukan teman atau pasukan yang dianggap ancaman, dengan mengeluarkan sinyal ke platform lainnya yang direspon dengan kata sandi menandakan adanya bahaya. Mode 5 merupakan versi standar terbaru dan membuat pesawat militer Korea Selatan senada dengan standarisasi NATO, dimana dapat dioperasikan bersamaan dengan pasukan NATO. Mode 5 memakai teknik cryptographic untuk melindungi atau menggangu sistem dari ancaman. Leonardo merupakan patner pilihan Kementrian Pertahanan Britainia Raya untuk meng-upgrade 31 tipe dari total 350, dimana perusahaan ini akan menggunakan pengalaman tersebut untuk menawarkan sesuai kebutuhan pihak Korea Selatan. Bekerjasama dengan LIG Nex1 yang merupakan patner di Korea Selatan, Leonardo menawarkan untuk memproduksi sebagian produknya di dalam negeri dan dapat dilakukan

bingung kenapa sampai sekarang Indonesia tidak mau membeli pesawat baru, padahal militer mereka ingin meningkatkan jumlah pesawat mereka hingga minimal 150 buah. Menurut Salked, Indonesia lebih untung apabila membeli Hawk versi T2 terbarunya dimana kapabilitasnya sudah ditingkatkan, contoh; kokpit kaca. Hawk merupakan pesawat cadangan untuk Eurofighter Typhoon, dan menurutnya, pesawat ini bias ditawarkan ke Indonesia lagi apabila dibutuhkan. BAE System International juga sedang

membuat pesawat tempur Sukhoi Su-35-11 yang sudah dibuat kontrak di bulan Februari 2018. Perusahaan ini menawarkan tenaga profesional untuk pengembangan KF-X/IF-X yang merupakan hasil dari kerjasama antara pihak Indonesia dan Korea Selatan. BAE juga melakukan kerjasama serupa dengan pemerintahan Turki yang dinamakan TF-X fighter development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kami ingin menawarkan lebih banyak teknologi pesawat karena beberapa pesawat dari F-22 dan F-35 belum terlalu banyak yang tahu,â&#x20AC;? kata Salkeld.

Hawk MK 109 milik TNI-AU

BY SAM J BASCH Perusahaan CTS (Hall B, Stand B075) asal Kanada menawarkan teknologi penganggu untuk improvised explosive devices (IEDs) dan unexploded ordnance. Seperti produk-produk lainnya, Lance disrupter milik CTS dibuat oleh teknisi gabungan explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) dan tim penelitian dan pengembangan internal perusahaan. Twin Lance disrupter merupakan gabungan dua Lance dengan fitur dan pemasangan di stand yang sama. Senjata ini bisa diisi peluru berbeda-beda sesuai dengan kebutuhan penembakan sasaran yang sudah ditetapkan sebelumnya, contoh; penembakan pertama untuk melumpuhkan target, dan yang kedua untuk pengalihan. Apabila dipasang di kendaraan operasional, senapan ini dapat disiapkan untuk tembakan kedua, dan seterusnya. System zero-convergence dipatenkan untuk

mengeliminisasi perlunya kalibrasi ulang. Dua laser berwarna hujau dapat membidik sasaran lebih dari 15km di bawah sinar matahari, dapat memudahkan dan mempercepat proses pengerahan pasukan. Menurut CTS, Laser disrupter sangat ringan, aman dan mudah digunakan. Senjata ini memiliki recoil disruption system untuk mengurangi energi kinetic ditransfer ke robot tanpa mengurangi daya ledak. Versi Lance dan Twin Lance hybrid dapat dipasang ke robot terkecil sekalipun, dan sudah diuji coba oleh ICOR, IRobot, Cameleon dan Cobra milik ECA Group, Telerob, Talon milik QinetiQ dan F6A milik Remotec. Senjata ini dioperasikan dengan stand Scabbard yang ringan dan muat di backpack Baldric yang dapat memuat Lance dan Twin Lance disrupter beserta komponen-komponen dan aksesorisnya. Baldric didesain seperti tas hiking biasa untuk mngelabui publik.

20 BY BETH STEVENSON Deliveries of an initial batch of an upgraded version of the Indonesian air force’s BAE Systems Hawk 100/200 fleet are under way, providing the light attack/trainer aircraft with a refurbishment that will extend its operational life. Of the 32-strong Hawk fleet operated by the Indonesian air force, eight are under contract to be upgraded, which includes the aircraft being stripped for maintenance, with the aim of extending the life of the fleet that was brought into service in the 1980s/1990s out to 2030. Michael Salkeld, regional director for BAE Systems International, told the Show Dailyy that this work is being carried out under a contract signed in 2017. He added that a navigation system is also being added to the Hawks.

The ambition is to upgrade all of the aircraft to this new standard, although for now only these first eight are under contract to be modified. The company claims there are more tangible requirements for the acquisition of a new fleet of Hawks elsewhere, although there is no reason why Indonesia would not consider a new-build buy, particularly considering the air force is looking to bolster its fighter fleet and maintain a capability of a minimum of 150 combat aircraft. Salkeld noted that Indonesia could benefit from the newest T2 version of the Hawk and it would be an “excellent buy”, through which it would receive a fourth-generation capability that includes enhancements such as a glass cockpit. The Hawk is typically offered as a complementary aircraft to the Eurofighter Typhoon, and Salkeld noted that the

More affordable capability

The need for a capable naval fleet at an affordable cost is a common priority across the region, and the upgrades of a number of in-service vessels are being targeted by industry to extend the life of these fleets. Vessels are in need of upgrade in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand, with the prevalent threats within the South China Sea – and the extent of these nations’ EEZs – calling for a more reliable at-sea capability.

Ultra Electronics (Hall B, Stand B019) is an experienced manufacturer of electronics including sonar and electro-optical fire control systems, but the company is also active as a prime for the refurbishment of vessels. It has previously updated the Indonesian Navy’s KRI Fatahillah (361) corvette (pictured), having carried out a so-called mid-life modernisation phase 1. Ultra says that it oversees all areas of work

on these programmes so there is one point of contact for the customer, including provision of installation, training and maintenance. Alan Meredith, sales and marketing director for the company, said the cost of refurbishment is approximately one-third of that of buying a new vessel, and comes with a 15- to 20-year services guarantee. “This effectively offers a brand-new ship for a third of the price,” Meredith explained. The company has bid and is being considered for some tenders of this type in the region, and a decision is pending on certain ones soon. BAE Systems (UK Pavilion), meanwhile, is in the process of upgrading the Bung Tomoclass corvette that Indonesia acquired from Brunei in 2013, and would use its experience on programmes such as this to pitch for further refurbishment work. The three ships were not accepted by Brunei from BAE Systems, and while they have relatively few operational hours on them, there are obsolete systems on board, including the armaments. The corvette was supposed to receive the VL Seawolf point defence missile system, although this was never installed and is now no longer in production. MBDA is therefore positioning its Sea Ceptor as an upgrade option for the fleet, leveraging the experience the system has on the Royal Navy’s Type 23 upgrade programme.

company could offer this to Indonesia again if requirements called for it. This follows the company’s involvement in a fighter acquisition that led to the Sukhoi Su-35 – 11 of which are on order – being contracted in February 2018. Additionally, the company is open to offering technological expertise for the KF-X/IF-X nextgeneration combat development being jointly carried out by Indonesia and South Korea. BAE (UK Pavilion) has partnered in this way with Turkish industry via a government-togovernment commitment for the so-called TF-X fighter development. “We would be delighted to offer aircraft technology,” Salkeld said. “As a company, the number of systems we have for F-22 and F-35 is not always acknowledged.”

Get a jet up there

A blast to disrupt

Swedish company Northseadrones (Hall D, Stand D221) is showing a full-scale model of its short take-off vertical landing (STOVL) jet drone at Indo Defence. The 2m wingspan naval drone is powered by a 160-180N turbine engine and is fitted with a 1.5kg payload in the nose. With a maximum take-off weight of 25kg, the craft has an action radius of up to 50km. Its maximum speed is in excess of 350km/h, while cruise speed is 250km/h. After completion of a surveillance/ reconnaissance or targeting mission, the drone returns to the launch vessel. The vertical landing is preceded by first jettisoning the hatches covering the embedded wing- and fuselagemounted propellers that act as stabilisers, before swivelling the turbine into a vertical position for the deck landing.

Canadian company CTS (Hall B, Stand B075) offers disruption technology for improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and unexploded ordnance, based on a scientific approach. Like many of its products, the CTS Lance disrupter derived from the company’s close work with explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) technicians combined with its own extensive R&D and engineering expertise. The Twin Lance disrupter system is essentially a double Lance with the same features, mounted on the same stand. It can be loaded with different projectiles for appropriate action after assessing the target, e.g. one shot to disable a critical component and a second shot for general disruption. When mounted on remotely operated vehicles, it affords the opportunity of re-arming for a second shot when necessary. Simultaneous firing on large-volume targets will double the neutralising effect. The patented zero-convergence aiming system self-aligns, thus eliminating the need for recalibration. Two high-intensity green lasers create an accurate cross-hair clearly visible in direct sunlight from more than 15m away. Not only does this simplify the training process, but also allows for quicker deployment as the lasers

need not be removed prior to firing. According to CTS, the Laser disrupter is lightweight, remarkably safe and easy to use. It sports an advanced recoil absorption system to lower the kinetic energy being transferred to the stand or robot without compromising power. The hybrid recoilless system allows for the Lance and Twin Lance to be mounted on even the smallest tactical robots. It has been tested on ICOR, iRobot, the ECA Group’s Cameleon and Cobra, Telerob’s systems, QinetiQ’s Talon and Remotec’s F6A. The system is operated from a lightweight Scabbard stand that fits in the Baldric backpack that can store a complete Lance or Twin Lance disrupter, along with its components and accessories. The Baldric is designed to look like a civilian hiking style backpack to allow the user to avoid public awareness when necessary.

Sekumpulan sonar mini Systems Engineering & Assessment (SEA) (UK Pavilion) mempertunjukkan KraitArray, sekumpulan sonar yang diklaim lebih murah dan cocok bagi pasukan angkatan laut yang ingin meng-upgrade kapabilitas kapal selam mereka. Kumpulan sonar yang ditawarkan ukurannya lebih kecil dari sensor tipe biasa, dan sistem low-power nya dapat diintegrasi dengan berbagai cara, seperti; dipasang di mesin derek, dipasang di kendaraan air tak berawak atau ditaruh di dasar laut. Menurut SEA ukurannya hanya berdiameter 16mm, jauh lebih kecil dari sebelumnya. Keuntungan KraitArray lainnya adalah sonar ini dapat disambungkan ke analog atau digital

interface, dan juga 32 saluran tambahan. Menurut David Hinds, SEA vice-President, saat ini Asia-Pasifik masih belum memakai ini, tapi berpotensi untuk dicoba. Apalagi sonar

ini dapat dipakai untuk memantau aktifitas perdagangan manusia atau penangkapan ikan illegal dan mendukung keamanan perbatasan dan pesisir pantai atau pulau sebuah negara dimana Indonesia memiliki banyak pulau. Saat ini, KraitArray telah diintegrasi dan digunakan di Liquid Robotics Wave Glider UUV karena ukuran, daya dan berat yang kecil. SEA juga mempromosikan peluncur torpedo yang dapat meluncurkan peluru NATO berkaliber standar yang diminati beberapa negara. Menurut Hinds,â&#x20AC;?Kami sangat percaya bahwa ini akan laku karena negara-negara bagian sangat suka NATO berkaliber standar.â&#x20AC;?

Terbukti memberantas BY CHRISTOPHER F FOSS Dalam mempromosikan CAESAR kaliber 155mm/52 kendaraan artileri yang dipakai oleh TNI, Nexter (Hall A, Stand A035) menawarkan VBCI (8x8) kendaraan militer yang terbukti dapat memberantas. Tentara Perancis telah memesan 630 unit VBCI, dimana 520 unit infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) dan 110 unit di command post (CP) untuk menggantikan AMX-10P IFV karena tentara Perancis beralih dari kendaraan pelacak menjadi kendaraan tempur berlapis baja, yang mobilitas lebih fleksibel dan tidak perlu dibawa oleh kendaraan pengangkut alat berat. IFV VBCI milik tentara Perancis dipasangi dengan turret Nexter yang dipersenjatai dengan dual-feed canon 25mm dan senapan mesin co-axial 7.62mm, dimana senjata tersebut dapat dipakai dengan system panaromic-sighting oleh komandan. Sedangkan versi CP dilengkapi dengan senapan mesin .50 remote-controlled weapon system (RCWS). Senjata lain yang dapat dipasangkan di VBCI

adalah turret T40 yang dipersenjatai dengan 40mm Case Telescoped Armament System (CTAS), yang saat ini diproduksi untuk Perancis dan Britania Raya, termasuk juga senapan mesin co-axial 7.62mm. Apabila diperlukan, anti-tank guided weapon (ATGW) juga dapat diintegrasi ke turret

23 BY CHRISTOPHER F FOSS The K9 Thunder 155mm/52 calibre selfpropelled (SP) artillery system of South Koreaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hanwha Land Systems (Hall D, Stand D265A) will continue in production until at least 2021 and the company is now seeking additional export contracts to keep the production line running after this date. While the K9 Thunder was originally developed to meet the operational requirements of the South Korean Army, it has already had a significant impact on the export market, often beating the German PzH 2000 155mm/52 calibre SP artillery system to win major contracts. So far, export sales have been made to Estonia, Finland, India, Norway, Poland and Turkey. Some of these are brand-new systems, while others have been older systems upgraded and with local production in Turkey (complete system, as the Firtina), India (complete system followed by local production) and Poland (hull for the local Crab 155m/52 calibre turret). Because the system has an onboard fire control and land navigation system, it can come into action, carry out a fire mission and then redeploy before any counter-battery fire. It can also carry out multiple-round simultaneousimpact fire missions.

All fired up The Spanish Everis Aerospace and Defense and New Technologies Global Systems (NGTS) Alakran 120mm Light Mortar Carrier (LMC) is being shown at Indo Defence by IndoCertes (Hall B, Stand B032) and is due to remain in the country for firing trials later this year. The Alakran 120mm LMC has been designed to be integrated onto any platform with a payload of 1.5 tonnes and is being shown here at Indo Defence fitted to a Toyota Land Cruiser (4x4). The 120mm smooth mortar is mounted on the rear of the platform and lowered to the ground through the rear arc using a low-maintenance electropneumatic system, so that when fired, the recoil force is absorbed by the ground rather than the platform. To lay the mortar onto the target, an electromechanical system is used with a manual

A burst rate of fire of three rounds in less than 15 seconds can be achieved with a maximum rate of fire of 6-8 rounds/minute for three minutes; a total of 48 x 155mm projectiles and associated modular charges are carried. The 155mm/52 calibre ordnance has a 23-litre chamber that meets the NATO Joint Ballistic Memorandum of Understanding. Maximum range depends on the projectile/

back-up in case of power failure. Traverse arc is 2,130 mils, while elevation is 800-1,600 mils and there is automatic aiming after every shot fired. Trials have shown that the Alakran takes 30

When firing the old 155mm M107 high-explosive (HE) projectile, the maximum range is only 18km, but firing the more recent locally developed 155mm K315 HE rocket-assisted projectile extends the range to 50km. To supply the K9 Thunder with new ammunition, the company has developed and placed in production the K10 Ammunition Resupply Vehicle, which is based on the same hull.

seconds to come into action and, once a fire mission has been completed, it can be laid onto a new target in five seconds. When the fire mission is completed, it takes just 15 seconds to come out of action and redeploy to another fire position, which makes it highly survivable. Maximum stated rate of fire is 12 rounds/min, with 4 rounds/min in the sustained fire role and with 40 rounds of 120mm mortar bomb carried. When fitted with a 120mm smoothbore mortar with a barrel length of 180cm, the maximum range is being quoted as 8,250m. It could also be fitted with a 120mm rifled barrel or even a 81mm NATO or Russian 82mm mortar barrel. A computerised fire control system with a flat-panel display shows its own location, as well as the location of the targets. An undisclosed export customer has already placed a contract for 100 Alakran LMC systems integrated onto a Toyota Land Cruiser 70, with deliveries well underway.

Identifying friend or foe BY BETH STEVENSON Leonardo (Hall D, Stand D208) and LIG Nex1 (Hall D, Stand D240C) have signed a strategic agreement that will initially address the Republic of Korea’s requirement to upgrade its identification friend or foe (IFF) capability to the newest Mode 5 standard. IFF provides operators with the ability to distinguish between friendly forces and those that may be considered hostile, sending out a signal to other platforms that needs to be responded to with a correct password in order to not be classified as a threat. Mode 5 is the latest standard and will make the Republic of Korea’s aircraft fleet compliant with NATO standards and in turn interoperable with NATO forces. Mode 5 uses advanced cryptographic techniques to protect attempts at deceiving or jamming the system. Leonardo is the selected industry partner of the UK Ministry of Defence to upgrade 31 platform types totalling 350 systems across the nation’s three armed services to this standard,

Systems Engineering & Assessment (SEA) (UK Pavilion) is showcasing its KraitArray towed sonar array, which it claims could offer a lowcost and easily integrated capability for regional navies looking to upgrade their respective antisubmarine warfare capabilities. The towed array is smaller than legacy acoustic sensors of this type, and is a low-power miniaturised system that can be integrated in a number of ways, including via a winch from a vessel, towed from an unmanned

With South Korean partner LIG Nex1, Leonardo is offering to localise production of certain parts of the system in-country, something that it has been doing in other ways in Korea.

Towed sonar array in miniature underwater vehicle, or even laid on a seabed. It is just 16mm in diameter, which SEA claims is a significant reduction in size compared with legacy systems. KraitArray further benefits from being able to connect via an analogue or digital interface, and includes 32 acoustic channels. It is not used in the Asia-Pacific region at the moment, David Hinds, vice-president of strategic accounts at SEA, told the Show Daily, but has potential to be a system of interest to nations in this area. Regionally, it could be used to monitor human trafficking or illegal fishing, for example, and in support of border security or the

monitoring of EEZ, of which Indonesia, with its thousands of islands, has many. KraitArray is currently integrated and deployed on the Liquid Robotics Wave Glider UUV, because its low size, weight and power mean that it is suited to solar-powered platforms. SEA is also promoting its torpedo launcher system, which can launch NATO-standard calibre munitions, and is attracting interest from a number of nations in the region. “We have lots of interest in this because the nations in this region are agnostic to NATO-standard calibres,” Hinds noted.

BY SAM J BASCH With navies around the world actively engaged in or planning modernisation of their fleets, Naval Group of France (Hall D, Stand D180) is showcasing its high-technology solutions at Indo Defence this week. The Gowind corvette is suited to navies looking for a complete combat and multimission vessel for protection of the nation’s sovereignty, naval defence and maritime security operations.

Diving deep BY BETH STEVENSON US company JFD, part of James Fisher and Sons, is at the show (Hall A, Stand A240) pitching to the regional market its range of systems designed to increase the safety of covert special forces’ maritime operations. These include submarine rescue systems and vehicles that offer a safe and speedy rescue from subsurface vessels. JFD also offers rebreather equipment for divers that is able to operate at depths of 100m, as well as special force delivery systems that

The type has already been selected by Malaysia and Egypt, with the former having just laid down the fourth Maharaja Lela-class Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) on order for the Royal Malaysian Navy at the Boustead Naval Shipyard (BNS) in Lumut, Perak. The design of Malaysia’s LCS is derived from the Gowind 2500 corvette. According to a recent Jane’s report, Naval Group is providing technical assistance to BNS for the programme under a technology transfer agreement. The first of class

was launched in August 2017. Providing the capabilities of a frigate, the multimission surface combatant displaces 3,000 tonnes at its top speed of 28kt, and has a standard range of 5,000 nautical miles (9,260km) at 16kt. The launch of the Port Said Gowind corvette, the first warship built in Egypt, took place in September this year. While representing a big success for the Alexandria Shipyard team, it also reflects the effectiveness of Naval Group’s industrial co-operation schemes. This is further underscored by the transfer earlier this year of the first Scorpene Brazilian Navy submarine to the main building of the construction site in Itaguaí in Sepetiba Bay, Brazil, where the Brazilian authorities took acceptance of the three sections of the submarine. The Scorpene, of which Naval Group has sold 14 to date, is capable of all types of missions, including surface vessel warfare, antisubmarine warfare, long-range strikes, special operations and intelligence gathering. Stealthy and fast, it is equipped with weapon launching tubes and various weapons, including missiles and mines. The company is also displaying other capabilities, such as the Belharra frigate and the F21 heavy torpedo. The Belharra frigate is the new combat ship for naval supremacy and crisis management. As a compact frigate, it is able to perform a broad range of missions either standalone or as part of a task force.

The new variants feature a number of enhancements, including new and more advanced O2 sensors, which enable the control system to respond rapidly and accurately to changes in life support system status; and an improved choice of cylinders. In addition, the Mk2-ED variant contains an extended duration scrubber, which provides an increased dive time of six to eight hours – the only set on the market able to provide this extended endurance capability.
