For the country's ginseng, purchase of submarines by Indonesia has melonjakkan defense industry exports to reach $ 2, 4 billion. South Korea's Ministry of Defense Acquisition Programs (Dapa), as quoted by AFP, said the number was doubled compared to previous year amounting to USD1, 19 billion.
As in 2009 amounted to USD1, 17 billion. In addition to the purchase of submarines, also triggered a surge of export contracts to purchase the aircraft T-50 Golden Eagle is also done Indonesia.Pada last May, the company's South Korean Aerospace Industries (KAI), and Indonesia agreed on export contracts worth 16 training aircraft is USD400 million. Earlier, in 2003, awarded DSME the project upgradekapal dive Indonesia and won a contract for depot maintenance project in 2009.
According to the Head of the Defense Facilities Kemhan Ediwan Maj. Gen. Prabowo, who represents Kemhan, the purchase contract will be followed by further formulation of the transfer of technology that is expected to be completed and will be beneficial to both parties.

Interestingly, although Indonesia has decided to buy from South Korea, Turkey who came later still optimistic that could be involved in the construction of submarines because they feel they are holding a valid license the construction of U-209 class of the manufacturer Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft GmbH (HDW) of Germany. DSME will build a submarine that Indonesia is a shipbuilding industry based in the City Ockpo.
The company has obtained a license from HDW to create a class submarine U-209 and his reputation no doubt because it has managed to produce nine units of the submarine U-209 / 1200 type with KRI Chakra Changbogo class to South Korean Navy since 1989 and its improvement with satisfactory results. Chakras and KRI KRI Nanggala also be overhauled in this place. For Indonesia, the purchase of three submarines will certainly add strength marine Indonesia's defense.

Technology Transfer
Earlier, Deputy Defense Minister Lt. Gen. Sjafrie said, in the contract there is provision for technology transfer mechanisms from beginning to end procurement completed. As part of technology transfer, Indonesia will send a technician to look at the process of making a submarine. "Procurement of human resources to be sent is a challenge for Indonesia, especially PT PAL, and a relatively large number of at least 50 people," said Sjafrie.
In the procurement of the second stage, the technicians who have been shipped is expected to begin to engage in technical matters regarding this position selam.Pada shipbuilding began to exist a direct physical interaction of the technicians in the process of making our submarine. As many as 50% of the state's role is taken by qualified producers making process Indonesia.Selama two submarines that, the submarine shipyard in Indonesia noble built. Furthermore, in the manufacture of the three submarines can be performed in Indonesia and wholly Indonesian forces.
"That's the basic policy, grand strategy in the mechanism of the weapon system procurement of major equipment (defense equipment) Indonesia set for the procurement of major equipment such as high-tech weapons systems and tech submarines are," said Sjafrie. ● fefy bi Haryanto / andi setiawan / ant
