Defense Minister Prabowo Visits UGM, UGM Students Show Off Defense Technology Innovation​

Yogyakarta – During the visit of the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto to Gadjah Mada University (UGM) on Friday (4/2), the UGM academic community displayed several technological development innovations in the agricultural sector that had been successfully made.

Several innovations in the defense sector displayed by UGM include the Fiachra Aeromapper UAV, Gama V2 Amphibious UAV, Pasopati Missile, Palapa S-1 Drone, and Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GEOAI) for the defense and security sector. security.

Azhar Aulia Rasidin (22), a 2017 UGM Mechanical Engineering student who helped develop the Palapa S-1 Drone, said that the drone was used for surveillance. The drone, which has a cruising range of about 500 kilometers in six hours and can reach a height of 1 kilometer, has been developed since 2021 by the UGM Force Team.

"This is for monitoring areas, such as forest fires. The most prominent advantage of this drone is the ability to take off directly vertically. So we can immediately reach the height we want to continue to move forward. Straight from there," said Azhar.

"For defense, it might be in the border area, to monitor the border area, if for example there is something suspicious, it can be reported immediately," he continued.

Meanwhile, Ditya Farhaz (21) student of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering UGM class of 2019 who helped develop the Pasopati Missile said that this missile is capable of targeting low targets and is not detected by radar.

"As a silent target target for low altitude so as not to be detected by radar," said Ditya.

He explained that this missile has been researched by UGM students since 2016-2017 with the result that it can fly a distance of about 5 kilometers with a maximum speed of 130 kilometers per hour with an altitude of 100 meters.

On this occasion, Defense Minister Prabowo appreciated the defense technology innovation from UGM. For this reason, a collaboration between the Ministry of Defense and UGM has been signed on the implementation of educational, research and technology activities that support national defense.

“The Ministry of Defense will work closely with UGM. Same with our cooperation with other universities. We really need the results of research, the results of the work of our scientists. Our scientists are very decisive in developing technology for the Indonesian people," said Defense Minister Prabowo.

“That's why I came to campus and talked to the professors to find out where we could work together. Where can we help and synergize the capabilities that exist on campuses. We help and we encourage them so that they are more productive and innovative," he continued.

Indonesia to develop $4bn polysilicon industry to boost solar panel production​



1644130828776.png


January 25, 2022

RIYADH: Indonesia will establish a $4 billion polysilicon industry amid efforts to boost solar panel production.

Polysilicon is a vital material for solar panels, and prices soared to a 10-year high in 2021, driving local solar firms to boost production of the material.

Indonesia is seeking to boost industry production in the country at lower levels than prevailing market prices as it seeks a move away from fossil fuels towards green energy instead, Bloomberg reported.

The Asian country also has a wish to generate 5.3 gigawatts by 2030 through vast solar panel installations.

Two plants are already in progress as a result of a collaboration between potential investors and domestic firms, Bloomberg reported, citing Septian Hario Seto, a deputy for mining and investment at the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment.

The first plant, worth $800 million, will be located in Batang, Central Java. It is set to open in the third quarter of 2022 and has an estimated production of 40,000 tons of polysilicon in its preliminary phase.

The second plant has an accumulated worth of $3.2 billion and is set to open in North Kalimantan with an estimated production of 160,000 tons of polysilicon.

This is expected to bring about a phase of excess supply in the country soon.

Liputan6.com, Jakarta President Joko Widodo has officially signed Government Regulation No. 5 of 2022 as the basic basis for the formation of the Defense Industry BUMN Holding (Indhan) on 12 January 2022. There are 10 priority programs that are the target of this defense BUMN holding .

Holding Defend ID will carry out at least 10 priorities, namely business development through global partnerships, maintenance, repair & overhaul (MRO) business development.

Then the integration of dimensions, digitalization and ERP implementation, restructuring of financial & liabilities management, streamlining of Subsidiaries, implementation of shared services for all holding members, as well as conducting joint research and innovation through the establishment of IDMRI (Indonesia Defense & Manufacturing Research Institute).

Furthermore, optimizing human resources, integrating the defense industry's ecosystem and supply chain through cooperation with the entire defense industry. Both in tiers 2, 3 and 4, as well as increasing TKDN ( local content) for various superior products of Holding BUMN Indhan (defense industry).

President Director of PT Len Industri (Persero), Bobby Rasyidin said the holding could minimize product overlap between Defend ID members. Len as holding parent plays a role in realizing interoperability or integrating the electronics of the 3 TNI dimensions, both land, sea, and air.

"Len focuses on platforms and MRO which determine the superiority of the main weapon system (defense equipment), and the integration of various national defense systems (Network Centric Warfare) with defense radar and underwater sensing as priority programs," he said in an official statement, Thursday (3/3). /2/2022).

Then, Dirgantara Indonesia (DI) focused on developing airborne and MRO platforms with fighter aircraft , missiles, and drones as priority programs. PAL Indonesia focuses on developing marine and MRO platforms with submarines as its priority program.

Then, Pindad focused on developing ground and MRO platforms as well as providing weapons and munitions with medium tanks and rockets as its priority program.

In addition, Dahana focuses on developing energetic materials or explosives for all dimensions with propellant as its priority program.

 
Calling it a cruise missile is misleading. I saw the video and it resembles a Kamikaze drone more than an actual cruise missile.

Well drone and cruise missile have so many similarity, the development of drone for instant will help developing cruise missile like in flight control system (FCS), and others. Drone can be autopilot as well like cruise missile and fly based on its flight path.

Yup the video you watched is the 2017 test which is at that time there is no booster using rocket for the taking off phase like in many cruise missile, it is now having that rocket booster as you can read on the original article using Indonesian language, I just erased that "rocket take off" word in this English translated article.

Cruise missile also use turbo jet same like this one built by UGM, actually the brain of the development is the lecture who is Phd (in electronics if I am not mistaken), graduated from one of Japan Universities for his Doctoral degree.

As we know, Indonesian Aerospace and other national companies, including PT LEN Industry also develop cruise missile under one consortium. I hope the experience taken by UGM to develop this small cruise missile can be used for the bigger cruise missile currently being developed by Indonesian Aerospace, particularly in the electronic part.

Any info on the type of engine used and the potential payload + range?

About Indonesian Aerospace lead consortium cruise missile program ? No information is available for public yet, maybe we should wait for November as the program may be revealed in Indo Defense event.

At least we know the design has been tested in wind tunnel for quite long
