Indonesia butuh 12 kapal selam

Changbogo Class ( 3 Unit Telah Dipesan Dari Korsel dengan TOT)

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Indonesia membutuhkan 12 unit kapal selam untuk mengamankan wilayah maritim dan mencapai kekuatan pokok minimum (Minimum Esensial Force /EMF) hingga 2024 untuk memperkuat Indonesia sebagai negara kepulauan.

"Sekitar 2/3 negara kita merupakan wilayah laut, sehingga perlu dijaga kapal selam. Jumlah kapal selam yang ditargetkan lebih dari 10 kapal selam," kata Menteri Pertahanan Purnomo Yusgiantoro usai Sidang Komite Kebijakan Industri Pertahanan (KKIP) Ke-7 di Kantor Kemhan, Jakarta, Rabu.

Saat ini, kata dia, tiga kapal selam tengah dibuat yang bekerja sama dengan Korea Selatan. Satu kapal selam dibuat di Korsel, satu unit lainnya di buat bersama-sama dan satu unit lainnya dibuat di PT PAL.

"Jika tiga kapal selam sudah dibangun, maka kita sudah memiliki lima kapal selam," ujarnya.

Selanjutnya pembangunan kapal selam lainnya bisa dibuat di Indonesia dan yang sudah ada bisa di overhoule. "Ini tentu kita mendorong PT PAL mempersiapkan peralatannya, fasilitasnya agar dilengkapi, sehingga tidak hanya bisa melakukan `assembling` terhadap elemen-elemen kapal selam, tapi juga bisa membangun kapal selam sendiri," kata Menhan.

Tentunya, kata dia, proses transfer teknologi dilakukan secara bertahap, apalagi Indonesia belum pernah membangun kapal selam.

Dalam sidang KKIP VII itu, ada dua agenda yang dibahas, cetak biru riset produk peralatan pertahanan dan keamanan serta rencana kebijakan pembangunan network industri pertahanan dan penguasaan teknologi pembangunan kapal selam melalui pengadaan tiga kapal selam dari Korsel.

Di tempat yang sama, Menteri Perindustri MS Hidayat, mengatakan, kapal selam merupakan produk yang sangat "hitech" yang dimiliki oleh negara-negara mempunyai teknologi tinggi seperti Korsel, Jerman dan beberapa negara lain.

"Indonesia bertekad membuat program kemandirian. Untuk membuat kapal selam itu tidak bisa sekaligus, tapi ini adalah suatu proses pembelian, dimana tahap demi tahap kita bisa menguasai teknologinya," katanya.

Indonesia, kata dia, dalam jangka panjang membutuhkan 10 hingga 12 kapal selam. Yang kita gunakan membeli sambil membuat dan nantinya pada kapal selam keempat dan berikutnya, Indonesia sudah bisa membuat kapal selam tersebut. Tentu ini membutuhkan pengarahan sekian banyak kaum intelelektual, ujarnya.

Sehingga, kata dia, setelah tahun 2024 Indonesia dapat memenuhi kebutuhan kapal selam dan sebagian besar teknologi itu sudah dikuasai. Namun, dalam tahap membuat tiga kapal selam tersebut Indonesia mutlak sudah bisa membuat sentral dari maintenance dan "overhoule" yang sangat dibutuhkan untuk operasinya.

Panglima TNI Laksamana TNI Agus Suhartono berharap sebelum tahun 2024, target pembangunan 12 unit kapal selam sudah dapat terpenuhi karena Indonesia berkewajiban menjaga keamanan dan perdamaian di wilayah maritim.

Saat ini Indonesia hanya memiliki dua kapal selam dan akan hadir tiga kapal selam tambahan dari Korea Selatan. Kapal selam asal Korsel tersebut dilakukan dengan "joint production" (produksi gabungan).

"Kapal selam itu teknologi yang mutakhir, dengan adanya `joint production` ini diharapkan akan ada transfer teknologi supaya Indonesia dapat menguasai ilmu pembuatan kapal selam," katanya.

Fuel Cell Submarine “U 35″ for the German Navy Christened


Dr. Sigrid Hubert-Reichling christened one of the most modern non-nuclear submarines in the world today at the shipyard of Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft GmbH (HDW), a company of ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems, under the name of “U 35”.
She is the wife of the Lord Mayor of Zweibrücken, the town that has assumed sponsorship of U 35. U 35 is the first boat of the second batch of Class 212A submarines built for the German Navy.
The contract to deliver a second batch of two further Class 212A submarines was signed on 22nd September 2006 in Koblenz with the German Office for Military Technology and Procurement. The submarine building activities are taking place at the shipyards of HDW in Kiel and Emder Werft- und Dockbetrieben in Emden.
The two additional units will be largely identical to their sister ships from the first batch. Of course, they are also equipped with the air-independent fuel cell propulsion system which has already given excellent results in operations with the boats of the first batch.
To meet changes in operational scenarios and to take constant technological advances into account, a number of modifications have been made:
  • Integration of a communication system for Network Centric Warfare
  • Installation of an integrated German Sonar and Command and Weapon Control System
  • Replacement of the flank array sonar by a superficial lateral antenna
  • Replacement of one periscope by an optronics mast
  • Installation of a hoistable mast with towable antenna-bearing buoy to enable communication from the deep submerged submarine
  • Integration of a lockout system for Special Operation Forces
  • Tropicalisation to enable world-wide operations.
Freitag underlined the ability of the boat to carry out operations lasting several weeks continuously deep submerged, thanks to the ultra-modern fuel cell technology on board. With virtually undetectable heat and noise emissions and a hull of non-magnetic steel, the boat will be exceedingly difficult to detect and thus able to operate unnoticed, discreetly gathering important information, monitoring sea areas or supporting covert operations.
The Italian Navy has also decided in favour of a second batch of two Class 212A submarines, which are being built under licence by the local Italian shipyard Fincantieri. That means that the Italian Navy will soon also have four boats of this class available for operations.

   The Typhoon class (Project 941 Akula) boats are the largest undersea vessels ever built, and are based on a double hull design that comprises two separate pressure hulls joined by a single outer covering to give increased protection against ASW weapons.
   The class was built specifically for operations with the Soviet Northern Fleet in the Arctic ice pack. The reinforced sail, advanced stern fin with horizontal hydroplane fitted aft of the screws and retractable bow hydroplanes allow the submarine to break easily through spots of thin ice within the Arctic ice shelf.
   The first unit was laid down in 1977 at Severodvinsk and commissioned in 1980, achieving operational status in 1981. To arm the Typhoon, design of a fifth-generation SLBM, the R-39 Taifun (SS-N-20 Sturgeon), began in 1973. Six vessels were constructed between 1981-89, entering service to form part of the 1st Flotilla of Atomic Submarines, within the Western Theatre of the Northern Fleet, and based at Nyerpicha. Construction of a seventh vessel was not completed.
   The R-39 allowed the submarine to fire the weapon from within the Arctic Circle and still hit a target anywhere within the continental US. The Typhoons, were originally to be retrofitted with the improved R-39M (SS-N-28) missiles.
   _wN vessels were decommissioned in 1997, and in 2002 only two remained in service although it has been reported that three of the class will remain active in order to test the R-39M or the new_BTlava SLBM, contravening the Co-operative Threat Reduction Program. The Typhoon class will be
 eventually replaced with the Borei class submarines
