On this occasion, the KSAD greatly appreciated the missiles made by the nation's children with very high local content, especially since so far the missiles made by CIRNOV have been frequently fired so that the potential for use by the TNI is quite large.

General Dudung as Commissioner of PT Pindad also plans to continue the MoU that was made with UAD/CIRNOV so that the missile program runs more prospectively.

Apart from that, the hope is that the air target missile products that have been made can be perfected, at least they can be used for training weapons for the Indonesian Army.

The air target missile made by the CIRNOV team is of the MANPADS (Man-Portable-Air-Defense-Systems) type which uses fire and forget technology, that is, after being fired at the target area, the missile will search for the target itself without being guided from below because it is equipped with an infrared sensor.

This technology is fairly standard for anti-aircraft missiles. The CIRNOV team has quite mastered in making this technology. In addition, the range of the missile can vary depending on the size and design of the booster rocket fuel made by PT Dahana. For standard anti-aircraft guns, the range is from 3,000 m to 6,000 m.

SATRIA-1 project to run as planned: Minister Mahfud​

Everything about the contracts and the obstacles to the project is being reviewed, thus the project can be continued.
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Acting communication and information minister Mahfud MD has assured that the Indonesian Satellite-1 (SATRIA-1) project, which is the responsibility of the ministry’s Telecommunication and Informatics Accessibility Agency (BAKTI), will continue as planned.

He made the statement while announcing that the inspector general of the Communication and Information Ministry, Arief Tri Hardiyanto, has been temporarily assigned as president director of BAKTI.

The previous incumbent, Anang Achmas Latif, has been named by the Attorney General's Office (AGO) as one of the suspects in an alleged corruption case linked to the development of 4G Base Transceiver Stations (BTS).

"We will strive to continue the project. Everything about the contracts and the obstacles to the project is being reviewed, thus the project can be continued," the acting minister said at the Communication and Information Ministry’s media center here on Friday.

He added that the attempt is in line with President Joko Widodo’s directive that the project be continued since the infrastructure is really needed by the community.

The development of SATRIA-1 is being financed through a public-private partnership scheme. Collaboration has been forged with a French space company, Thales Alenia Space, to develop the satellite.

According to a subsidiary of PT Pasifik Satelit Nusantara (PSN), PT Satelit Nusantara Tiga (SNT), the development of SATRIA-1 has reached the final stage.

SATRIA-1 was sent from France to Cape Canaveral, Florida, the United States, on May 8, 2023, by sea.

If everything runs according to plan, the satellite will be launched using American space technology developer SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket in mid-June.

The satellite is expected to start operating by the end of 2023 to help support 150 thousand public service areas and reduce the digital divide in Indonesia.

In addition to SATRIA, Mahfud assured that other telecommunication infrastructure projects carried out by BAKTI will continue to run smoothly, including the construction of BTS in disadvantaged, frontier, and outermost (3T) areas.

"The President ordered me, as the acting communication and information minister, to continue the 4G BTS tower project since it is part of the government’s services to the community to improve the welfare of the Indonesian people by providing adequate communication facilities," he added.
