The development cooperation
of Full Flight Simulator and
the Airborne Warning & Control System (AWACS
) Indonesia and Turkey, began to be executed with the visit of the Turkish company, Havelsan, to PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) facilities in Bandung.
"This visit is part of the follow-up cooperation that has been agreed upon before between the two companies, which focuses on the development of Full Flight Simulator, as well as the readiness of both parties in meeting the needs of the Republic of Indonesia on AWACS," said President Director of PTDI, Gita Amperiawan in a statement in Bandung on Wednesday.
Halvesan's visit on Tuesday (27/8), was conducted by their CEO, Mehmet Akif Nacar, along with its delegation, was received by the directors and management of PTDI with the introduction of several PTDI's flagship simulator products, such as the N219 Cockpit Demonstrator and N219 Engineering Full Flight Simulator which represents PTDI's capabilities in the development of aviation simulation technology, as well as being the basis in ongoing cooperation with Havelsan.
PTDI has the ability and experience in the field of aviation simulator development, especially for aircraft produced, such as CN235-220 and N219. PTDI has complete documents and technical data that are an important component in the design of Flight Simulator.
With full access to
the required technical data package, PTDI is able to ensure high accuracy and realism in the simulator developed.
Mehmet Akif Nacar expressed strong confidence in PTDI's ability in the development of flight simulations, especially for the Full Flight Simulator program, which he said had a strong foundation thanks to the experience in developing CN235-220 aircraft and training simulations, as well as engineering.
"This provides a solid basis for the development of a full mission simulator by using
the package data provided by PTDI," said Mehmet.
Havelsan himself, he continued, with his experience in the generation of images and advanced visual systems, will contribute to improving the features of the simulator and presenting high-quality simulations that can be used for international needs.
With the capabilities and infrastructure owned by PTDI, Mehmet said Havelsan believes he can jointly develop a superior and D-rated simulator system to support Indonesia’s defense needs and for other countries as well.
Regarding Havelsan's experience in the AWACS system project in Turkey, Mehmet explained that the project began in the late 1990s, with Havelsan acting as the main provider for the ground and air segments of mission and integration software.
Havelsan developed 90 percent of the software used in the Turkish AWACS system, where Havelsan continues to renew and modernize to improve existing systems with some of its partners in Turkey.
"And by expanding cooperation with PTDI to develop the AWACS Indonesia project. Havelsan plans to utilize the know-how and experience in the AWACS program and combine it with the needs of the Government of Indonesia to create a stronger AWACS system. This will involve the formation of a collaboration team or joint program, where PTDI will act as a main contractor in Indonesia, "said Mehmet.
Gita Amperiawan himself revealed that CEO Havelsan's visit to PTDI marks an important first step in realizing this plan and demonstrates the commitment of the two companies to jointly develop advanced defense technologies that will provide significant benefits for the Indonesian aviation and defense industry.
"This strategic cooperation is a tangible manifestation of PTDI's efforts in strengthening the independence of national defense technology. With the experience and capabilities of both companies, we will try our best so that
the development of
Full Flight Simulator technology and superior AWACS systems can be achieved, "said Gita.
