One of the advantages for a country that has an independent avionics industry is the ability to modify aircraft, including adding additional support devices or replacing old, outdated equipment.

For example, the addition of avionics devices to the Sikorsky S-300C helicopter owned by the Army Aviation (Penerbad), carried out by the local avionics company PT. Infoglobal.


These devices are called the Flight Recorder and Tracking (FRT) and the Barometric Pressure Switch. The FRT functions as a CVR (Cockpit Voice Recorder), DVR (Digital Video Recorder), FDR (Flight Data Recorder), and FTC (Flight Tracking). Thus, the FRT can monitor the movements and maneuvers of the helicopter, record flight data, cockpit audio, and video digitally.

Meanwhile, the Barometric Pressure Switch functions to activate certain systems. This switch becomes active when a predetermined pressure (altitude) is reached, triggering specific actions within the system. For example, in the past, the CN235 aircraft’s stall warning system would only activate when the aircraft’s speed dropped below 60 knots.

This switch is an important component for various aircraft systems, including the altimeter, airspeed indicator, and other flight instruments that rely on accurate pressure readings.

The local avionics company goes beyond avionics and try to develop MALE UCAV and also its engine

Based on an interview between Mr. Adi Sasongko, CEO of Infoglobal, with Jawa Pos (July 1, 2025), the Wani-23 MALE UAV engine is planned to be ready next year. Around 50 percent of its components are supplied from the domestic market.

MUHAMMADIYAH.OR.ID, BANJARMASIN - Maybe only a handful of successful young people managed to build a company in the field of security defense, especially radar technology in Indonesia. One of them is Yussi Perdana Saputera, the Young Manufacture of Al Jihad Banjarmasin Mosque.


In a press release received by the editor on Wednesday (16/4), Yussi Perdana who was the birth of Banjarmasin, said his young people joined and learned a lot of experience of organizing and leadership in the Young Forces of Al Jihad / AMMA Mosque (formerly his name was Teen Masjid Al Jihad / RMJ).


"After graduating from Tsanawiyah Junior High School, Ulun (I) continued to SMK Telkom majoring in informatics in Banjarbaru. That’s where Ulun began to know and love the world of technology. Then continue to study S1 at Telkom University Bandung majoring in Telecommunications Engineering, "said Yussi.


While traveling on the island of Java, Yussi has been active as an assistant lecturer to find additional pocket money. Then while completing the final task, he also became an assistant researcher at the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI).

"After college Ulun decided to keep fighting the fate of the overseas and for the support of parents also not to rush home to Banjarmasin. Therefore, Ulun then continued his S2 Education at ITB through scholarships," he said.


Graduated S2, on February 5, 2016 Yussi and some of his colleagues founded the company with the name of PT Radar Telekomunikasi Indonesia (PT RTI) which is a defense industry company under the auspices of the Ministry of Defense (Kemhan) RI.


The company is engaged in the field of radar, telecommunications, electronics, and information with the mission to develop domestic production technology products / Domestic Content Level (TKDN).


These products are designed to be used in a variety of industries, societies, and governments, both for civil and defense applications. Among them for the procurement of LPI radar, coastal radar, air defense radar, and weapons tracker radar for the Indonesian National Army (TNI).


The radar products created by Yussi and his colleagues are not only used for domestic needs, but have also been glimpsed by the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with an investment value of Rp. 80 billion. But with the requirements that must be met is to establish a factory in Saudi Arabia, change citizenship to become a citizen of Saudi Arabia and settle in Saudi for at least 5 years. But this offer was rejected.


“I feel heavy on the terms offered,” Yussi said.


As one of the young people who had joined the Young Forces of Al Jihad Mosque (AMMA) Banjarmasin, when asked his opinion about the development carried out by Al Jihad Mosque, Yussi said that currently the mosque building has developed significantly, then he also highlighted about the development of information in Al Jihad Mosque which is increasingly advanced, including the radio Suara Al Jihad, website mu4.co.id, social media and online studies.


In addition, he also appreciated the facilities provided by Takmir Masjid Al Jihad such as professional body maintenance services with 2 pieces of Toyota Alphard type ambulance, toilet facilities that are standard for star hotels and also sacrificial animal slaughter services with aids so that in 1 day can complete slaughter of up to 90 cows, most Indonesian.


Yussi also provides 5 inspirational tips to the younger generation to advance and succeed.


"First hold fast to the values of religion, follow the direction of parents and do not argue, always do good to others, do not forget to give alms, continue to learn and build networking or friendship and finally good at finding opportunities," Yussi said.



His company also supply mobile radar to Indonesian Armed Force. I would say this is good to tackle drone threat during troops movement

SEOUL, KOMPAS — PT Dirgantara Indonesia and Korean Aerospace Industries (KAI) on Monday (October 20, 2025) agreed to strengthen their partnership. The step was marked by the signing of a framework agreement related to the KT-1B Woong Bee aircraft development program. The agreement was signed on the sidelines of the ADEX 2025 aerospace and defense exhibition in Seoul, South Korea.

PT Dirgantara Indonesia was represented by Director of Commerce, Technology, and Development Moh Arief Faisal, while KAI was represented by EVP of Global Business Development Division Cho Woo Rae. After the signing, Arief explained that the agreement was an initial step toward joint production of the KT-1B Woong Bee.

However, Arief did not specify when the production process would begin. The KT-1B Woong Bee is a trainer aircraft that has been used by the Indonesian Air Force (TNI AU) for decades. The aircraft’s KT-1B variant is currently operated by the Jupiter Aerobatic Team of the Indonesian Air Force.

“Since KAI will no longer produce it, PT DI will take over the production of the KT-1B Woong Bee through this partnership,” said Arief. Gradually, the aircraft’s production line will be moved to PT DI’s manufacturing center in Bandung.

Later, PT DI will handle maintenance services and fulfill aircraft orders, especially across the Asian region. Besides Indonesia, the KT-1B Woong Bee is also operated by the air forces of South Korea, Peru, and Turkey.

Furthermore, Arief mentioned that this collaboration opens opportunities for Indonesia to enhance its expertise in military and trainer aircraft development, which could also be applied to the ongoing KF-21 Boramae fighter jet program.

KAI expressed similar optimism, stating that the agreement reflects the company’s trust in Indonesia’s capability and experience as a reliable partner in the aerospace industry.

JAKARTA, BERNAS.ID — Two Indonesian technology companies, Frogs Indonesia and PT Infoglobal Teknologi Semesta, have officially formed a strategic partnership to develop a locally-made Flight Control System (FCS) for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). This collaboration marks a significant commitment by both companies to strengthening Indonesia’s drone technology independence.


Up to now, developing FCS has remained a major challenge for the national drone industry. The growing demand for drones has yet to be matched by the availability of domestically produced flight control systems. Most drones used in Indonesia are still dependent on imported components.


The FCS is essentially the "brain" of a drone. It controls flight operations, executes pilot commands, and manages navigation and mission tasks. Therefore, the ability to produce FCS domestically is a key foundation for achieving independence in the national UAV industry.


The partnership was formalized through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Thursday, October 30, 2025, at JIExpo Kemayoran, Jakarta. The agreement was signed directly by Adhitya Chandra, Chief Executive Officer of Frogs Indonesia, and J. Adi Sasongko, Chief Executive Officer of PT Infoglobal Teknologi Semesta. Both parties agreed to collaborate on research, development, and testing of a reliable FCS tailored to operational drone needs across various sectors, including agriculture, mapping, and defense.


The signing ceremony was also attended by industry players, academics, and members of the public who are enthusiastic about the progress of Indonesia’s UAV technology.


Through this collaboration, Frogs Indonesia and PT Infoglobal Teknologi Semesta hope to pave the way for more domestic technological innovations and strengthen Indonesia’s position in the global drone industry.

Development of AUTACS by PT Len Industri

By Yudi Supriono


AUTACS (Automatic Aircraft Control System) is a flight control system (FCS) developed by PT Len Industri for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones.


This FCS has already been installed on the AEROBAIT Target Drone and the 1/3 Scale Model of the MALE UAV Elang Hitam.


The development of AUTACS has now reached version 3. PT Len Industri has conducted miniaturization efforts, making the system increasingly compact over time.


Currently, PT Len is focusing on developing an AUTACS version equipped with an automatic take-off and landing feature, which enables drones to fly fully autonomously—from take-off to landing.
