Surabaya - El proceso ha estado lejos de ser convencional. Por lo general, la preparación de un CMS integral para cualquier buque de la armada implica varias reuniones en las que las especificaciones y expectativas se alinean entre las organizaciones involucradas. Sin embargo, con las restricciones de COVID-19 vigentes, gran parte de la colaboración se ha trasladado en línea, incluidas las cuatro pruebas de aceptación de fábrica (FAT).

Entre otras cosas, Terma está contratada para entregar el CMS para los cuatro buques KCR-60. No poder reunirnos en persona ha sido un desafío, sin embargo, el programa y las aprobaciones de FAT se cumplieron según lo programado a plena satisfacción del cliente y el equipo del proyecto tanto en Terma como en el astillero indonesio, PT PAL.

PT PAL tiene el contrato principal para construir y entregar los cuatro buques: dos son construcciones nuevas y dos son naves de ataque rápido existentes que se someten a una actualización completa.

Las cuatro FAT se realizaron virtualmente como las llamadas "FAT de demostración" para el usuario final.

En la práctica, Terma había realizado y completado la prueba de aceptación de fábrica completa antes del evento FAT de demostración virtual real. El representante de calidad interno de Terma fue testigo y firmó que el resultado de la Prueba de Aceptación en Fábrica estuvo a la altura de las expectativas.

Durante las FAT de demostración virtual, Terma presentó una variedad de temas seleccionados antes del evento. Los temas se explicaron detalladamente a través de una reunión de Microsoft Teams usando cámaras de mano.

Si bien las dos primeras FAT de demostración se llevaron a cabo completamente en línea, las restricciones de COVID-19 permitieron la asistencia en persona a las dos últimas por parte de un agregado de defensa de Indonesia con sede en Londres y Berlín, respectivamente.

"Estoy muy orgulloso de que hayamos podido terminar las pruebas de aceptación de fábrica a tiempo, y estoy agradecido de que tanto el Ministerio de Defensa de Indonesia, la Marina y PT PAL hayan sido muy comprensivos y flexibles a pesar de los desafíos de COVID-19". Jefe de Programas de Indonesia en Terma, el Sr. Per Boye Ovesen, dice.

Terma actúa como integrador de sistemas de combate y es responsable de integrar todos los sensores y efectores a bordo de los buques. Además, Terma está contratada para entregar: el sistema de gestión de combate C-Flex, el sistema de lanzamiento de señuelos C-Guard, el sistema de control de incendios C-Fire y el radar de vigilancia aérea y de superficie SCANTER 4603 para los cuatro buques KCR-60.

Listo para la aceptación del mar y la prueba de disparo en vivo

2022 será un año de ejecución y con las pruebas de aceptación aprobadas, se inicia la instalación en obra.

“Mientras hablamos, el envío final del sistema de gestión de combate no. 4 está en camino a Indonesia. Nuestro equipo local ya ha comenzado las instalaciones y pronto llegará el sensor y el armamento del sistema C-Flex de los KCR-60”.

Se espera que las cuatro embarcaciones de ataque rápido estén listas para la aceptación en el mar y las pruebas de tiro real durante 2022. La primera prueba está programada para julio-agosto y, aunque COVID-19 está creando obstáculos para la colaboración transfronteriza, Per Boye Ovesen está seguro que la asociación con PT PAL y la Marina de Indonesia seguirá siendo tan fluida y fructífera como lo ha sido hasta ahora.

Para facilitar las operaciones, Terma ha establecido oficinas locales y ha contratado personal local tanto en Yakarta como en Surabaya, donde se construyen los buques, con el objetivo de acercar las competencias y los conocimientos al astillero.

La presencia local es necesaria para garantizar una colaboración fluida cuando la pandemia dificulta las asociaciones transfronterizas regulares. Al acercar las competencias al astillero, Terma y PT PAL han creado las condiciones óptimas para garantizar una construcción de alta calidad que se mantenga dentro del cronograma.

Sin embargo, implementar un nuevo sistema de gestión de combate es una tarea compleja.

“Como integrador de sistemas responsable, debemos asegurarnos de que todos los sistemas funcionen juntos sin problemas y brinden la conciencia situacional necesaria, el apoyo a las decisiones y, en última instancia, controlen los diferentes sistemas de armas a bordo”, explica Per Boye Ovesen.

Cuando estén terminadas, las naves KCR-60 estarán equipadas con sistemas de vigilancia, ESM e IFF, así como con armas, lanzadores de misiles y sistemas de señuelo.

Si bien este es el primer programa CMS más grande de Terma en Indonesia, la compañía danesa ya ha entregado Combat Suites para otros países en la región de Asia-Pacífico, como Brunei, Tailandia y Australia. Más de 10 Armadas y Guardacostas de la región confían en las soluciones navales de Terma, incluidos C-Flex CMS, radares SCANTER y C-Guard Decoy Launching System.

Desde un punto de vista naval, la región de Asia-Pacífico es bastante notable. Con la región que cuenta con algunas de las costas más largas del mundo y con países que se extienden sobre vastos cuerpos de agua, la necesidad de capacidades marítimas integrales es fundamental para proteger contra la violación de territorios y zonas de exclusión económica.

Con las embarcaciones de ataque rápido planeadas que agregan más velocidad, agilidad y potencia de fuego a la armada de Indonesia, el país mejorará su capacidad para asegurar la soberanía territorial en las aguas que rodean sus más de 17,000 islas.

Finlandia prueba que Rusia interfiere los sistemas GPS

Finland to probe reports of Russia disrupting GPS during NATO drill


Finland's GPS signal was disrupted during NATO's recent military drills and Russia may have been the culprit, according to Finland's prime minister. The apparent jamming also affected air traffic in Norway.



Pilots in Finland and Norway lost GPS navigation signals during recent NATO's large-scale Trident Juncture exercise near Russia's western border.

Speaking to Finland's public broadcaster Yle on Sunday, Finnish Prime Minister Juha Sipila said that Moscow was likely to blame for the jamming.

"Technology-wise, it's relatively easy to disturb a radio signal, and it's possible that Russia was behind it," he was quoted as saying.



Sipila is known for often piloting his private jet himself for official trips

"We will investigate, and then we will respond," he added. "This is not a joke, it threatened the air security of ordinary people."

The 57-year-old Sipila, who is also an experienced pilot, said that the incident would be treated as a breach of Finnish airspace.

The goal of the alleged Russian interference was "to demonstrate the capabilities for such actions," he said.

Looking across the border

The disturbance targeted the Finnish region of Lapland and parts of Norway near the border with Russia.

The regional Wideroe airline confirmed its pilots had experienced GPS disruptions. But it said that pilots aboard civilian planes have several contingency systems to fall back when a GPS signal is lost.

Sipila's comment came four days after NATO forces ended their two-week Trident Juncture exercise. Operations took place in Norway, parts of Finland and Sweden, the North Atlantic and the Baltic Sea and involved some 50,000 participants.

Despite Finland not being a NATO member, soldiers from the Scandinavian country also took part in the drill, a decision that angered Moscow. Finland shares a 1,340 kilometer (833-mile) border with Russia.

Last week, Norwegian media outlet Barents Observerreported on the loss of GPS signals in parts of Norway's airspace. The Oslo authorities have already accused Russia of disrupting the navigation system during Russia's Zapad-2017 drills.

Equipo de interdicción marítima para Indonesia

Indonesia Chooses IDE's iDEFENDER for Maritime Interdiction Operations


iDefender MIO suite 

IDE (INTRACOM Defense Electronics) successfully implemented the "turnkey" delivery of the integrated system for support of the Maritime Interdiction Operations (MIO). The system was delivered to the Indonesian Navy and is based on IDE’s security-surveillance solution,iDEFENDER.

With the IDE’s system, the Indonesian Navy’s Western Fleet acquired capability for recognition/surveillance, command and control, as well as digital intercommunication for real-time exchange of operational information between the theater of operations and the land-based command center, with the aim of ensuring legality in the area of Indonesian-Singapore maritime border.

iDEFENDER: Maritime Interdiction Operations Suite


iDefender MIO Suite supports an integrated solution for Maritime Interdiction Operations in a manner corresponding to NATO ATP-71 procedure which reflects seaborne enforcement measures to intercept the movement of certain types of designated items into or out of a nation or specific area.

MIO operations are normally restricted to the interception and, if necessary, boarding of vessels to verify, redirect or impound their cargoes in support of the enforcement of financial or military sanctions.

IDE’s solution addresses the need for a system that allows the dissemination of real-time voice, data and video information under Maritime Interdiction Operations (MIO) that involves the insertion of a ship boarding team, utilizing high speed craft. Once aboard, the team undertakes a high-tempo offensive operation where command and control, accurate target recognition and prosecution are essential for operational success.

IDE’s solution is tailored made to the maritime environment which is arguably one of the harshest work environment in which humans must contend.

Nuevos equipos de navegación para las fuerzas australianas

Upgrade to Australian Defence Force Navigation Warfare Capability



JP 5408 aims to provide Global Positioning System (GPS) Navigation Warfare (NAVWAR) protection to selected legacy ADF platforms and land forces.

Minister for Defence David Johnston today announced Government approval of a critical project to upgrade and enhance the protected Global Positioning System (GPS) capability of the Australian Defence Force.

“The Government recognises that to ensure the ADF remains viable and robust we need to invest in force protection, countermeasures, protective security, system redundancy, lower signatures and stealth for our capabilities and systems,” Senator Johnston said.

GPS plays a vital role in providing accurate positioning, navigation, coordination, and targeting for the ADF and the ability to use modern GPS equipment is fundamental to operational effectiveness.

Senator Johnston said GPS jamming equipment has become easier to produce and deploy, and the ADF needed to continue to meet this evolving threat. JP 5408 Phase 3 (Platforms) Tranche 2 will enhance GPS on a range of ADF platforms by providing either protection or redundancy capabilities in response to GPS denial activities.

The total value of this project is in the order of $30 million.

Platforms to be upgraded include:

- Collins Class Submarines
- Hydrographic Survey Ships
- Survey Motor Launches
- Provision of Alignment Kits for Ground Based Air Defence systems
- Special Forces Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats
- Mine Hunter Coastal Ships.

“This project will strengthen the ADF’s ability to operate in a GPS denied environment and will increase the operational capability and safety of Australian service personnel.”

Senator Johnston said the project will include opportunities for Australian Industry partners to assist in the integration and maintenance of the protected GPS capability acquired under the project.

Sagem (Safran) beat out an international field to win the contract from Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. Ltd (DSME) of South Korea as prime contractor for the navigation system to be installed on three 1,400 ton ocean-going submarines to be deployed by the Indonesian navy.

Ordered by Indonesia in 2012, this new class of ocean-going submarine is the first South Korean-designed submarine to be sold in international markets.

The Sagem navigation system (NAVS) offers outstanding reliability and precision, making it the best system for demanding submarine missions, whether at sea or for operations along coastlines. NAVS comprises two high-performance Sigma 40XP laser gyro inertial reference units, a computer and safety-critical navigation software, all contributing to the submarine’s stealth and safety during dives.

The decisive factors in DSME’s choice were Sagem’s proven capabilities as systems integrator, plus its expertise in data fusion and transmission to the ship’s combat system, along with extensive experience in managing major defense programs.

This latest contract underscores the quality of the relationship between Korean industry and Sagem on navigation systems, and the predominance of laser technology in submarine navigation systems. South Korea’s Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) had already chosen Sagem recently to modernize the navigation system on the country’s KSS-1 Chang Bogo submarines class, several modernized submarines are already in full operation at sea.

Through this contract, Sagem further consolidates its leadership in navigation systems for today’s submarine forces. Over 60 submarines around the world, in 14 different classes, are now fitted with Sagem navigation systems, including nuclear submarines (SNLE-NG, Barracuda, SNA Améthyste), air-independent propulsion (AIP) types and diesel-electric models (Scorpène family). More than 400 surface vessels are also equipped with Sagem inertial navigation systems.
