Indonesian Air Force Places Order for Eight Additional H225ms Indonesian Air Force places order for eight additional H225Ms Indonesia, 10 January 2019 – The Indonesian Air Force has ordered eight additional twin-engine multirole H225M helicopters as part of the country’s fleet-strengthening initiative for a combat search and rescue-capable fleet. Under the agreement between the Indonesian Ministry of Defence and PT Dirgantara Indonesia (Persero) (PTDI), the 11-ton combat-proven helicopters will be delivered to the air force upon reassembly and completion of the mission equipment outfitting and customisation by PTDI at its facility in Bandung, Indonesia. These additional helicopters will join the air force’s existing fleet of six H225Ms to perform similar combat search and rescue missions. “We welcome Indonesia’s selection of our H225M helicopters for their expanding fleet. The H225M is a combat-proven helicopter that is well regarded by military customers worldwide, and Indonesia’s additional order speaks strongly of their confidence in Airbus’ helicopters,” said Ben Bridge, Executive Vice President, Global Business of Airbus Helicopters. “Indonesia continues to play a vital role in Airbus Helicopters’ global industrial footprint. With a trusted partner in PTDI, we stand ready to support the availability of Indonesia’s fleet.” Airbus Helicopters and Indonesia have an enduring relationship of over 40 years dating back to 1976 when PTDI first obtained a licence to produce the NBO-105 helicopter. Specifically on the H225, PTDI became a key supplier of the helicopter’s rear fuselage and main airframe in 2008, with full production in place in Indonesia by 2011. The two companies expanded the industrial co- operation in 2017, to include support and services dedicated for the Indonesian military fleet of helicopters. The H225M is currently in service across the globe with 88 helicopters delivered to-date. It recently surpassed the 100,000 flight hour milestone, following its first delivery to the French Air Force in 2006. Since then the H225M has proven its reliability and durability in multiple combat environments and crisis areas. A member of the multi-role Super Puma family of helicopters, this military variant is currently operational in France, Brazil, Mexico, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, and has recently been ordered by Hungary, Kuwait and Singapore. *** About Airbus Airbus is a global leader in aeronautics, space and related services.

  • The Role of the Indonesian Air Force in the Prevention of Drug Smuggling in Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport
    The Role of the Indonesian Air Force in the Prevention of Drug Smuggling in Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport A Case Study Fajar Rosyadi, Rizki Ananda Ramadhan Abstract The research is aimed to elaborate and to analyze the role of the Indo- nesian Air Force in preventing drug smuggling in Halim Perdanakusu- ma International Airport. Drug Smuggling which is classified as one of the trans-national crimes becomes a huge non-traditional threat for national security. This research employs a qualitative method. Two types of data were used in this study. Data and documents related to drug smuggling in Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport were used as secondary data, while an in-depth interview with related stake- holders and observation were used as primary data. The result of the analysis showed that the Indonesian Air Force specifically stationed at Halim Perdana Kusuma International Airport plays an important role in securing the airport from such various threats as drug smuggling. The efforts for this purpose include placing the Indonesian Air Force personnel in the airport entry points, holding joint forces with the airport security, providing dog sniffers as well as training to improve the skills associated with the airport security and intelligence. Even though the Air Force has resources, personnel, and infrastructures for preventing drug smuggling threat that has now been transforming Fajar Rosyadi, Rizki Ananda Ramadhan.

  • A Force Buildup on Guam Anchors a Broad US Military Strategy to Keep China in Check
    A force buildup on Guam anchors a broad US military strategy to keep China in check. Pacific Push By Richard Halloran n its strategy to deter China from driving the US out of Asia and the Western Pacific, US Pacific Command has quietly shifted its focus from North- Ieast to Southeast Asia, especially the South China Sea and nations along its littoral areas. USAF photo by A1C Jeffrey Schultze To dissuade China, the US has begun positioning forces which could threaten China’s supply lines through the South China Sea. The oil and raw materials transported through those shipping lanes are crucial to a surging Chinese economy—an economy paying for Bei- jing’s swiftly expanding military power.

  • SOURCING AIR SUPREMACY: DETERMINANTS of CHANGE in the INTERNATIONAL FIGHTER JET NETWORK a Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty
    SOURCING AIR SUPREMACY: DETERMINANTS OF CHANGE IN THE INTERNATIONAL FIGHTER JET NETWORK A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government By Raymond K. Rounds III, M.P.P. Washington, D.C. April 3, 2019 Copyright 2019 by Raymond K. Rounds III All Rights Reserved ii SOURCING AIR SUPREMACY: DETERMINANTS OF CHANGE IN THE INTERNATIONAL FIGHTER JET NETWORK Raymond K. Rounds III, M.P.P. Thesis Advisor: Andrew Bennett, Ph.D. ABSTRACT International arms transfers stand at the intersection of security studies and international political economy. They are not simply economic exchanges or transfers in goods, but a crucial part of larger state-to-state relationships. This project investigates fighter aircraft, the single largest segment of the international arms network, to better understand what drives change in these transfer relationships. Most states are unable to indigenously produce fighter jets and are dependent upon one of a very few producers for sourcing their fighter fleets. Because of the large creation costs and path dependent characteristics of these sourcing relationships, changing them comes only at great economic and operational military expense for the importers. Despite these high costs, change does occur; this project explains why. Using a newly coded dataset of international fighter aircraft transfers and descriptive network analysis, I demonstrate, counter to much of the arms trade literature, the fighter jet transfer network has become more centralized following the Cold War, not less. I use this analysis as a foundational platform for the primary research question: under what conditions are states willing to accept the high economic and military costs associated with sourcing change? I propose a typological theory incorporating six independent variables and generating five hypotheses.
