Are there any reporting in English besides Alman Helvas?
Ridiculous reason, tho I can smell the original good intention to support and "streamline" the procurement process. When you putting ToT without involving industrialist, manufacture, bppt, lapan and instead putting more uniforms to lead it then we all know how its going to perform. Perhaps some previous ToT we got can not be performed by us due insufficient level of knowledge? Is the ToT aiming in line with our aim such as UAV, submarine design and manufacturing, etc? Or is it something we dont even need?This is the reason the Ministry of Defense Involves PT TMI in Procurement of Alutsista
Director General of Defense Strategy of the Ministry of Defense, Major General Rodon Pedrason said that the involvement of PT Indonesia Military Technology (PT TMI) in the procurement of the main weapon system equipment (alutsista) was not without reason.
"The Minister of Defense wants there to be a platform for advanced technology defense equipment experts, electronics experts, technocrats, engineers for the nation's children to assist in the transfer of technology so that we will not be deceived again by these brokers when buying defense equipment," said Rodon at the time. contacted, Tuesday, June 1, 2021. Rodon said that generally the technology is locked by the principal in the transfer of technology process. In this case, he said PT TMI acted as a consultant to help find the best defense equipment and so as not to be missed in terms of technology transfer.
"Not for purchases or procurement. PT TMI has no contract with the Ministry of Defense at all," said Rodon. This is in line with the statement of the Corporate Secretary of PT TMI, Wicaksono Aji, who said that PT TMI is a forum for advanced technology defense equipment experts, electronics experts, and domestic technocrats who study and transfer technology (ToT) in the process of finding the best defense equipment.
"PT TMI's role is to analyze and provide input to parties in need, be it the government, education or the private sector in terms of ToT," said Wicaksono.
ToT is often ineffective
The Director General of Defense Strategy at the Ministry of Defense, Major General Rodon Pedrason, said that so far, many efforts to transfer technology (ToT) in the procurement of the main weapons system equipment (defense equipment) were not working properly. On that basis, the Ministry of Defense will involve PT Technology Military Indonesia (PT TMI) in the next procurement. "So far, the ToT hasn't been going right, why is it only being told to paint? Making the ToT ship just paint the ship, just weld it. Ordinary people can do it. But if you crack the radar, if it's damaged, what kind of upgrading will it be, it's not shared with us, " said Rodon when contacted, Tuesday, June 1, 2021. Rodon said the spirit built by the current government is to make the defense industry advanced. He wanted Indonesia to no longer be dictated to. If the ToT can run well, he believes that in the end the maintenance of the national defense equipment can be more efficient. "Every service doesn't have to be brought there (the location for the manufacture of defense equipment)," said Rodon.
The presence of PT TMI was introduced by Prabowo Subianto to Rosobornexport, Russia's official intermediary agent for the export and import of defense technology products, on November 16, 2020. This PT is in the spotlight as the Ministry of Defense plans to buy defense equipment which is reportedly worth Rp. 1,760 trillion, and will be spent in the next three years or 2024.

A very good start indeedSome infographics / illustrations from TMI website
They got the dealI heard there were some design change with the PT.DRU 90 Metre OPV ,especially the bow section are made to be more "aesthetically" pleasing while not hindering it's performance , they were probably in the leading place for the potential domestic OPV tender winner .
Any leak?there were some design change with the PT.DRU 90 Metre OPV ,especially the bow section are made to be more "aesthetically"
Looks a bit amateur to be honest, worked too hard to make bridge looks like Visby.PT.Steadfast marine batam OPV , they should try proposed this soon to tim kajian for OPV and BPPT .
