BIAS 2024: PT Len Industri launches DID 3.11 tactical reconnaissance drone for surveillance and combatants​

Drone PT Len DID 3 11



AIRSPACE REVIEW – PT Len Industri, part of the DEFEND ID Holding, launched the DID 3.11 drone for surveillance and combatant functions at the ongoing Bali International Airshow (BIAS) 2024 at I Gustri Ngurah Rai Airport, Bali.

A total of two red and white drones were displayed in the outdoor arena of the exhibition.

Director of PT Len Industri Bobby Rasyidin said that the DID 3.11 drone already has a TKDN (local content) of 45 percent.

He added that in the future content development will be carried out in accordance with the mission required by users. For example, payloads for SAR (Synthetic Apperture Radar), Direction Finder, Jammer, and others.


Drones are equipped with a variety of advanced sensors to be able to carry out various missions effectively and efficiently.

Currently, there are two types of drones being built, namely for surveillance and combatant purposes. This drone was developed at the PT Len Industri facility in Subang. Meanwhile, the flight test was carried out from Nusawiru Pangandaran.

With a flight time of more than 10 hours, the DID 3.11 drone can carry out missions for a longer period of time so that it is more effective in carrying out missions.

It also includes efficient operational capabilities, with automatic take-off/landing capabilities, ease of operation, compact mobilization and common fuel types.

This pertamax-fueled drone can travel to a maximum speed of 180 km per hour with a maximum range of 1,500 km. (RBS)

Indonesian shipbuilder launches 90 m OPV for navy​


2024-09-19


Privately owned Indonesian shipbuilder PT Daya Radar Utama (PT DRU) has launched the first of two 90 m offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) on order for the country's navy.

The vessel with pennant number 391 took to the water on 18 September at PT DRU's shipyard in Lampung, South Sumatra. It will be known as KRI Raja Haji Fisabilillah once commissioned.

In 2020 PT DRU received two separate contracts from the Indonesian Navy and the Indonesian Ministry of Defense (MoD) respectively to build two 90 m OPVs.

A steel-cutting ceremony for both ships was held in August 2021 at Lampung.

The OPVs will displace about 1,800 tonnes at standard loads and 2,100 tonnes at full loads.

The vessels will have a top speed of 28 kt, an economical speed of 15 kt, and a cruising speed of 20 kt. At its economical cruising speed, the OPV will have a maximum range of 9,600 n miles with an endurance of 20 days. It can operate at up to Sea State 5 and survive up to Sea State 6.

Neither the Indonesian MoD nor PT DRU have confirmed details of the OPV's weapon systems.

However, computer-generated images of the vessels that have been released by the MoD and PT DRU so far indicate that the vessels will be armed with what appears to be the Leonardo 76/62 Super Rapid (SR) 76 mm naval gun as its primary weapon.

BIAS 2024: PTDI Collaborates with Local Startups for Aerospace Product Development in Indonesia​

AIRSPACE REVIEW – Awareness of the importance of the future mode of transportation for e-VTOL aircraft based on Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) with the latest technology, encourages PTDI to take its role as a center for aerospace product development that is open and accessible to start-up companies that take the initiative to develop new generation products.

This is motivated by PTDI's position as the only aircraft manufacturer (OEM) in Indonesia that already has complete resources in the aerospace industry, which can support the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of AAM aircraft.

On the second day of the Bali International Airshow (BIAS) (19/9), President Director of PTDI Gita Amperiawan witnessed the signing of a Letter of Intent (LoI) between PT Vela Prima Nusantara (which is PTDI's partner in the development of AAM) and PT Sayap Garuda Indah (SGI Air Bali) for collaboration in the development of Vela Alpha aircraft until the successful acquisition of certification by the relevant aviation authorities.

In this case, the certification was obtained from the Directorate of Airworthiness & Aircraft Operations (DKPPU) of the Ministry of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia.

The partnership will continue until the purchase of Vela Alpha units that will be operated by SGI Air Bali to support the tourism sector, as well as charter flights.

After that, Vela and PTDI also agreed on a Framework Agreement for cooperation in the engineering, development and production of the Vela Alpha aircraft.

Vela Alpha is an e-VTOL-capable vehicle (electrically powered vertical take-off and landing) and cruising with a pusher engine.

The cabin can accommodate four passengers for VIP transport and a capacity of 6 passengers for economy transport.

At BIAS 2024, Vela showcased a 1:3 scale aircraft that was displayed in an outdoor arena.

Next, Vela will build a 1:1 scale technology demonstrator aircraft with a target of completing construction by the end of 2025.

In addition to its collaboration with Vela, PTDI also collaborates with another startup, namely PT Intercrus Aero Indonesia (Intercrus) to jointly develop, certify, manufacture and commercialize an AAM-based multicopter product called Intercrus Sola.

Sola is an e-VTOL ride with a capacity for three passengers, to meet the needs of mobility transportation.

On the second day of BIAS 2024, PTDI and Intercrus announced their collaboration which was marked by the signing of a Framework Agreement on cooperation in preliminary design, feasibility study & full-scale prototype development activities for Intercrus Sola.

This is a follow-up to the previous MoU agreement regarding cooperation in the development, certification, manufacturing and commercialization of Intercrus Sola which was signed in June 2024 in Bandung.

PTDI's collaboration with each start-up company partner is a form of PTDI's commitment to realizing the vision of a more efficient and environmentally friendly future air transportation. (RBS)
