FFM30 that because they are threatened by competing products (Mk-41 VLS)

And why should 
need 
permit to export their own products
Aaaaah... Had never think of it like that. That makes total sense.You miss the whole point of hiring a consultant. The idea is to open as much of an opportunity as possible. If MBDA suddenly willing to integrate the Slyver VLS into
A platform and their sub system (weapon system, sensor, etc) are always separate deal when each of them came from different country of origin. If MBDA is offering their system (assuming in this case is Sylver VLS along with the missiles) then it's all the better, because that mean there is competition to gain market, which will benefit the customer regardless of whatever system that get procured

Much of the japan system has a major US IP and components in them ....

Maybe we will use diesel engine, its good if we can get a green light for any US components that is ITAR'ed.
The point is neither of them are competitors but rather Indonesia is trying to get one of them.You miss the whole point of hiring a consultant. The idea is to open as much of an opportunity as possible. If MBDA suddenly willing to integrate the Slyver VLS into
Is there any ship out there being made entirely by a nation, or yet alone an alliance? US ships also use European parts in common or even from Japan, don't underestimate Japanese.
The question is, does Japanese allow such systems to be integrated on their own ships? Why do people suddenly assumes Japanese to be miserable to make sales just because they have made an offer? This is the particular mindset which has caused problems in the negotiations yet i still see it is going on even on the people at top. They can turn their wheel, they are not in such condition to "makes sales or give up" their navy and army is eager and expanding recently thus have sufficient orders on table even more than what Indonesia could possibly order.

30FFM runs on RR (British) MT30 and MAN(German) engine if i am not mistaken. Gearbox should be from RENK, propeller-shafting likely from domestic resources. So US has no finger in the propulsion. I don't think Japanese would offer some sort of customization on the engines apart from replacing the engines with the identical ones (RR with GE, MAN with MTU).
In 30FFM case, Indonesian navy only use diesel engine so the engine might be replaced unless the navy want to try the gas turbine, about weaponry its still unclear if Indonesia will be allowed to get US VLS and missiles, sometimes Indonesia love doing gado-gado but sometimes its because of something we can't control.
Unlike other Nations, some of us in ASEAN dont have the luxury of rellying on one source of procurement. Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam (to some extent) have gado-gado military equipment as the result of geopolitic or rather external pressure. We all know how closely related military equipement with international political relation/national interest between country. If they could choose freely I am sure no "gado-gado" procurement would happen in the first place.
