LONDON-(IDB) : The Indonesian Navy has purchased the
latest version of the Thales TACTICOS combat management system, to be
installed on its new Perusak Kawal Rudal (PKR) Sigma Class Corvette.
Speaking at the DSEI conference in London, Boudewijn Geerink,
business development manager, naval systems for Thales, told journalists
that Indonesia had signed a formal contract for the MK4 system for its
new frigate, with the probable option for a second at a later date.
The SIGMA 10514 guided missile frigate was purchased by Indonesia in
2012 as part of a modernisation of the Indonesian Navy, and is slated
for delivery in 2016. It follows on from four SIGMA Corvettes previously
purchased for the TNI AL.
TACTICOS is a family of modular combat management systems, matched to
a variety of mission profiles and vessel types. The MK4 is the most
recent iteration, and features a new single screen console and enhanced
graphical software.
Geerink explained the 30 inch single screen console is designed to
provide an optimal viewing range for the human eye, and provides a
graphical way of interacting with the common controls.
‘With the new MK4 system, both maritime security and combat
operations can be performed from a single console. The MK4 is more
intuitive and meets young officer’s interaction standards. In addition,
training emphasis is moved from ‘button training’ to tactical training,’
said Geerink
TACTICOS technology is already used on board more than 160 ships
(from small patrol craft to full-size frigates and destroyers) operated
by 20 navies.
Those include the US Navy as well as navies in Asia, Europe, the Gulf region, Latin America, the Middle East and North Africa.

Dalam setiap pembelian persenjataan diharuskan ada transfer tehnologi.Kalau kita baca di atas tidak ada perusahaan dalam negri seperti Len di libatkan dalam penyediaan combat management system untuk PKR.Kita harapkan ada perusahaan dalamnegri terlibat paling tidak punya kemampuan untuk maintenance.Masak ya bila ada kerusakan atau perlu kalibrasi kita harus panggil mereka.
BalasHapusRasanya sih tidak akan ada yg mau semudah itu memberi teknologi system canggih yg sudah didapat melalui riset bertahun2 dan biaya investasi yg pasti mahal sekali. Yg dimaksud dg transfer teknologi tentunya tidak sedangkal dan senaif itu. Beli Windows aja gak diajarin cara bikinnya, kan? He3... pisss :>)
