Surabaya (ANTARA News) - TNI AL kini memiliki simulator khusus untuk latihan manuver dan pengendalian kapal selam yang disebut Submarine Control Simulator (SCS).

Kadispen Armatim Letkol Laut (KH) Maman Sulaeman dalam keterangan pers yang diterima Antara di Surabaya, Selasa, melaporkan simulator itu diresmikan KSAL Laksamana TNI Ade Supandi di komplek Kolatarmatim, Koarmatim, Ujung Surabaya, Senin (13/7).

SCS merupakan sarana latihan prajurit kapal selam TNI AL dengan model simulasi kabin bergerak buatan Rheinmetal Defence Jerman. Negara lain yang sudah memiliki SCS yakni Yunani, Jerman, Turki, Korea Selatan, Italia, dan Singapura.

Kabin SCS dapat bergerak dengan kecepatan 10 knot dan mencapai kemiringan hingga 45 derajat, dengan tinggi total 4 meter, serta berat 85 ton. 

Fungsi lainnya dari SCS sarana pelatihan dan familisasi pengendalian kapal selam itu adalah penyesuaian personel dengan dinamika gerakan kapal selam, pelatihan prosedur-prosedur, pelatihan keadaan darurat dan integrasi awak kapal selam.

KSAL optimistis SCS akan membuat kemampuan para prajurit TNI AL, khususnya pengawak kapal selam TNI AL, dapat meningkat dengan pesat, terasah dan mampu beradaptasi dengan kemajuan teknologi tinggi yang ada di kapal selam modern.

Prosesi peresmian SCS diawali dengan penandatangan naskah serah terima dari Dirut PT Pustaka Strategi Legiman Sutrisman kepada Kepala Dinas Pengadaan (Kadisadal) Laksamana Pertama TNI Prasetya Nugraha.

Selanjutnya, penyerahan dari Kadisadal kepada Asisten Logistik (Aslog) KSAL Laksamana Muda TNI Ir. Harry Pratomo, lalu dilanjutkan dengan penyerahan dari Aslog KSAL kepada Pangarmatim Laksda TNI Darwanto selaku "user".

Pada saat yang sama, KSAL juga meletakkan batu pertama pembangunan "Submarine Command and Team Trainer" (SCTT). SCS dan SCTT merupakan bagian dari Submarine Training Center, yaitu fasilitas untuk mengasah kemampuan para awak kapal selam.

Selain SCS dan SCTT, tiga fasilitas Submarine Center lainnya adalah Machinery and Propulsion Control Simulator (MPCS), Fire and Damage Control Simulator (FDCS), dan Submarine Escape Team Trainer (SETT).

"Dari kelima fasilitas Submarine Center tersebut, untuk sementara TNI AL baru menyelesaikan SCS. Fasilitas lainnya akan dibangun secara bertahap, menyesuaikan dengan anggaran yang tersedia," kata KSAL.

Menurut KSAL, dengan dibangunnya komplek Submarine Training Center dapat mewadahi pelatihan para awak kapal selam yang sedang tidak melaksanakan operasi pelayaran. 

Kepada para pengguna SCS, khususnya prajurit pengawak kapal selam, KSAL menyatakan sarana SCS ini merupakan komitmen TNI AL untuk meningkatkan kemampuan dan profesionalisme prajurit kapal selam.

"Dengan kemampuan yang semakin terasah dan mampu beradaptasi dengan kemajuan teknologi, maka pencapaian TNI AL sebagai World Class Navy akan dapat diraih. World Class Navy hanya dapat diraih dengan memiliki keunggulan teknologi dan SDM, serta organisasi dan kemampuan operasi yang mumpuni," katanya.

THE Royal Brunei Air Force (RBAirF) will have a faster screening and selection process to identify potential pilot cadets with the installation of the new PC-7 flight training simulator at the CAE Brunei Multi-Purpose Training Centre (MPTC) in Rimba.

In a press statement issued yesterday, CAE Brunei MPTC said that the PC-7 flight training simulator will be used to conduct selection and screening processes for RBAirF officers who are interested in becoming a military pilot following the completion of their officer’s course.

Kevin Speed, CAE Brunei MPTC’s General Manager, explained that producing a military pilot requires a long and expensive process.

He esplained that the RBAirF previously conducted its screening and selections abroad, and that the results had a low passing rate.

However, CAE Brunei MPTC will provide the RBAirF with flexibility in conducting their training programmes which can yield better results.

He added that the trainees will receive help from training instructors who had previously served the RBAirF and the Royal Australian Navy.

CAE Brunei MPTC also said that the first class of potential cadet pilots had recently completed their two-week selection course using the PC-7 flight training simulator.

Besides the PC-7 flight training simulator, CAE Brunei MPTC also offers training programmes for the Sikorsky S-92 helicopter with its full-flight simulator at the centre.

The CAE Brunei MPTC will also be receiving an S-70i Black Hawk helicopter simulator in 2016.

The CAE Brunei MPTC was established in 2012 as a joint venture between Canada-based CAE and Brunei’s Ministry of Finance.

The training facilities began operating in September last year.

A team of U.S. Navy and defense industry contractors recently delivered an advanced helicopter training device to the Royal Australian Navy.

The MH-60R Foreign Military Sales (FMS) team from the Naval Aviation Training Systems Program Office (PMA-205) and Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division , in conjunction with CAE USA of Tampa, Florida, defined and procured training devices to support aircrew proficiency and real-world mission rehearsal for the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) in February.

The simulator delivered to the RAN includes a full-motion, operational flight trainer (OFT), which will prepare pilots and co-pilots for flight, as well as a weapons tactics trainer (WTT) to guide sensor operators in the helicopter. The OFT and WTT can be operated as standalone devices, or combined to form a tactical operational flight trainer (TOFT), which provides comprehensive aircrew mission training. The MH-60R training devices are now installed at the RAN’s training facility in New South Wales at HMAS Albatross, home of the RAN’s Fleet Air Arm.

“I’m really proud of the hard work, dedication and time our FMS team put in to deliver the first MH-60R TOFT to the Royal Australian Navy,” said Capt. Craig Dorrans , PMA-205 program manager. “The state-of-the-art TOFT will serve as a catalyst for operational flight preparation and weapons tactics training for the RAN.”

The RAN aircrew and maintainers began training at the U.S. Navy’s schoolhouse at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Florida, in spring 2013. The RAN returned to its newly constructed Seahawk Simulation and Warfare Centre after completion in March with its first TOFT, as well as an Avionics Maintenance Trainer/Weapons Load Trainer. A second TOFT is scheduled for delivery in 2016 along with four more maintenance and part-task trainers scheduled over the next several years.

The RAN selected the U.S. Navy’s MH-60R Seahawk in 2011 as its new anti-submarine/anti-surface warfare helicopter after seeking to replace its existing S-70B-2 Seahawk helicopters.

The MH-60R training devices are used to train pilots, co-pilots and sensor operators in the complete range of missions flown by the MH-60R Seahawk helicopter.

Pabrik Simulator Militer Kelas Dunia dari Pinggiran Bandung

10 April 2015

 Simulator-simulator produksi PT TES (all photos : Detik)

 Jakarta - Industri pertahanan dalam negeri semakin berkembang dan dapat diandalkan untuk TNI. Tak kalah dengan BUMN seperti PT Pindad dan PT Dirgantara Indonesia, sebuah Badan Usaha Milik Swasta (BUMS) di pinggiran Kota Bandung tak bisa dilihat sebelah mata.

Terletak di atas bukit yang berada di Lembang tepatnya di Desa Mekar Wangi, Bandung Barat, PT Technology and Engineering Simulation (TES) berhasil menciptakan berbagai simulator untuk kendaraan militer. Seperti simulator pesawat, kendaraan tempur, maupun helikopter.

"Dari komponen sampai doktrin militer semua kita bangun sendiri. Kita semua kerjakan di sini," ungkap Direktur Utama TES Muhammad Mulia Tirtosudiro saat ditemui di kantornya, Kamis (9/4/2015).

Industri pertahanan milik TES ini tak bisa dibilang kecil. Mulia mendirikan sebuah kawasan di atas bukit 6 hektar untuk menghasilkan simulator-simulator yang berguna bagi dunia militer. Simulator yang telah berhasil dibuat oleh perusahaan ini seperti fight full mission simulator.

Simulator dibuat sedemikian rupa agar dapat merepresentasikan bentuk pesawat ataupun kendaraan militer. Dengan demikian pilot tidak harus selalu terbang saat latihan. Komponen dari FMS terdiri dari software seperti navigasi radio, visual database, termasuk intruktur sistem operasi pesawat.

Mulai dari perancangan hingga pembangunan simulator dilakukan di kawasan PT TES. Simulator juga dilengkapi dengan sistem motion sehingga siapapun yang menggunakan simulator tersebut akan merasakan seperti benar-benar sedang menerbangkan pesawat.

Menurut Mulia yang merupakan jebolan PT Dirgantara Indonesia itu, TES sudah berdiri sejak 2004. Pasalnya masuk dalam industri pertahanan dalam negeri tidaklah mudah/

"Kita nggak bisa langsung jual di Indonesia, bangsa kita sudah terbiasa lihat barang luar, karena barang bule dianggapnya keren. Yg lokal susah diapresiasi. Awal-awal kita menjual product kita ke Kemhan untuk TNI lewat Taipei-taipei dulu lah, nggak langsung atas nama kita. Nggak apa-apa, yang penting bisa menunjukkan kemampuan kami dulu," jelas Mulia.

Di tahun 2007, TES di bawah sub-contract berhasil mengerjakan upgrade Fighter FMS untuk militer Pesawat Hawk Malaysia. Setelah itu barulah kemudian pemerintah melirik hasil karya TES untuk digunakan bagi militer Indonesia.

"Saya ingin berterima kasih kepada pemerintah sejak era Pak SBY dan berlanjut ke pak Jokowi, Kemenhan memberikan dorongan terhadap industri pertahanan lokal. Ada UU nya kan kalau produk bisa dibuat di dalam negeri itu bisa dibuat oleh industri lokal. Itu kami rasakan," ucap Mulia.

"Untuk Malaysia kita upgrade simulator Hawk di Penang, perbaikan simulator CN-235 di Kuching, dan meneruskan design dan manufacturing simulator Tank ACV 300 Tank, ada 1 set 5 buah di Kuantan," jelas Project Engineer TES M Taufik Tirtosudiro di lokasi yang sama.

Untuk dalam negeri sendiri, TES telah mengupgrade simulator Pesawat Hawk TNI AU yang ada di Pekanbaru. Selain itu, TES bekerja sama dengan perusahan lain membantu pembuatan software, visual, dan audio untuk Helikopter Super Puma TNI AU di Bogor. Selain itu, TNI AD kini menggunakan simulator Heli Bell bagi Pusat pendidikan Penerbad di Semarang.

"Kita sekarang sedang garap simulator untuk (pesawat tempur) F-16 dan Penjajakan local content untuk Sukhoi," tutur Taufik.

Untuk TNI AL, TES juga sedang mengerjakan simulator bagi pesawat anti kapal selam. Di luar simulator, di bawah payung Technology and Engineering System, perusahaan ini banyak memberikan sumbangsih kepada negara.

TES telah melakukan upgrade hampir di semua early warning radar di Indonesia dari yang sebelumnya hanya analog, kini sudah beralih ke digital. Itu sesuai dengan perkembangan doktrin militer TNI. Di luar bidang militer, TES melakukan rehabilitasi terhadap instrumen pembangkit listrik milik PLN yang sudah tua agar bisa berumur lebih panjang lagi. (Detik)

PT TES Buat Simulator Tank Multiranpur Untuk Efisienkan Pelatihan Prajurit TNI

Jakarta - Berbagai simulator untuk pesawat dan kendaraan tempur diproduksi oleh PT Technology and Engineering Simulation (TES). Salah satu yang cukup menarik ialah sebuah simulator yang dapat digunakan untuk beberapa jenis kendaraan tempur.

Adapun jenis simulator ini merupakan pesanan dari Pusat Pendidikan Kavaleri TNI AD. Tidak seperti simulator pada umumnya di mana 1 simulator adalah untuk 1 jenis alat, simulator Multiranpur bisa diganti-ganti.

"Kita sedang membangun Multiranpur, proyek 3 tahun mudah-mudahan bisa selesai tahun ini. Ini cukup unik, untuk menghemat karena bisa diganti-ganti 3 jenis tank," ungkap Direktur Utama PT TES M. Mulia Tirtusudiro di kantornya, Desa Mekar Wangi, Lembang, Bandung Barat, Jabar, Kamis (9/4/2015).

Multiranpur dapat diganti-ganti bagian kabinnya untuk simulator tank Scorpion, tank Stormer, dan tank AMX. Ke depan, TES pun akan mengembangkan untuk membuat kabin main battle tank Leopard.

Dengan efisiensi seperti itu, artinya pemerintah dapat menghemat biaya yang cukup besar. Pasalnya untuk pembuatan satu simulator harganya terbilang tidak murah.

"Simulator dirancang untuk berumur 20 tahun. Harganya mendekati harga pesawat, tergantung konfigurasi. Kalau di dunia di atas harga alutsista yang dibeli harganya. Kalo kita hampir mendekati aslinya," jelas Business Development Manager PT TES, M Iqbal Tirtusudiro di lokasi yang sama.


Simulator Multiranpur merupakan simulator satu-satunya di dunia yang bisa diganti-ganti untuk beberapa jenis ranpur. Iqbal pun yang simulator-simulator buatan TES dapat bersaing dengan produk buatan luar negeri, terutama staf dari PT TES sendiri yang masih muda-muda dan memiliki banyak potensi. 

"Sebenarnya bisa saja bersaing, di bagian nilai simulator keakuratan dan simulator data paket. Di dunia banyak source jadi nggak harus mesen satu negara terbuka luas. Biasa kerjasama antar perusahaan. Prinsip kita ingin menjaga kompetensi teknis. Perlu barang apa, kalau program kita bisa bikin. Yang jelas kalau dibikin pemerintah kita sangat senang," kata Iqbal.

"Kita unggulnya simulation software dikuasi. Jadi mau pake modul Korea jadi bisa, tergantung kesepakatan. Kita 90 persen buatan lokal. Software, model matematik, koneksi antar software, visual database. Sudah bisa dan siap bersaing," sambung lulusan ITB tersebut.

Simulator Multirampur dibangun di Pusat Pendidikan Kavaleri di Padalarang, Bandung, dalam 3 tahap. Tahap pertama adalah untuk Scorpion, tahap kedua untuk Stormer, dan yang saat ini sedang dalam proses penyelesain adalah kabin untuk tank AMX.

Perancang simulator ini ternyata datang langsung dari Puslitbang TNI AD. Dalam pembuatannya, PT TES membutuhkan waktu 4 tahun di mana satu tahun khusus untuk membuat konsepnya. Taiwan disebut sedang melakukan negoisasi untuk pembuatan simulator Multiranpur ini.

"Ya sedang negoisasi. Mungkin Konsepnya sama, tapi visualnya beda. Karena harus dibedakan untuk dalam negeri sama luar," terang Business Development PT TES, Gerald S Manurung menambahkan.

Sejumlah simulator telah berhasil dikembangkan oleh perusahan ini. Seperti simulator Hawk untuk Malaysia dan TNI AU. Simulator CN-235 untuk Malaysia, simulator tank ACV 300 5 buah untuk Malaysia. Simulator untuk TNI AU lainnya yang telah dibuat PT TES adalah Super Puma, Heli Bell.

Sementara yang masih dalam pengembangan adalah Multiranpur, simulator F-16, dan simulator pesawat anti kapal perang untuk TNI AL. PT TES juga sedang melakukan penjajakan local content untuk pembuatan simulator Sukhoi.


"Sebenarnya yang paling utama dalam pembuatan simulator adalah membuat modelnya atau softwarenya untuk bisa merepresentasikan seperti alutsista sebenernya," tutup Gerald.

C-130J Wins Training Systems for Royal Australian Air Force

09 April 2015

RAAF C130J simulator (photo : RAAF)

In support of the Royal Australian Air Force's (RAAF) tactical role enhancement program for the C-130J, CAE has been awarded a series of contracts from Australia's Defence Material Organisation (DMO) and Lockheed Martin to upgrade and enhance elements of the C-130J training system at RAAF Base Richmond.

CAE is upgrading the tactical environment software in the CAE-built C-130J full-flight and mission simulator (FFMS) to enable the RAAF to create more realistic training scenarios and leverage the Common Database (CDB) capabilities for mission training and rehearsal.  In addition, CAE is updating the mission brief/debrief system on the C-130J FFMS using CAE Flightscape software to enhance training system effectiveness.

CAE is providing CAE Simfinity desktop trainers and instructor tools to bring high-fidelity virtual training to the RAAF's C-130J groundschool. CAE Simfinity Virtual Simulators (VSIM) and simulation-based courseware will support additional virtual training in the classroom for both pilots and loadmasters.

Finally, under a subcontract from Lockheed Martin, CAE will provide CAE Simfinity Virtual Maintenance Trainers (VMT) as part of a modern electronic learning environment for RAAF C-130J maintainers.

"We rely on our C-130J Hercules to fly in some of the toughest flying environments on earth, and deliver effective results when they arrive," said Air Commodore Warren McDonald, Commander Air Mobility Group, RAAF.  "To provide this service, it's essential for our Air Force to have training systems that are flexible, intuitive, and can recreate a wide range of scenarios accurately.  New and updated training systems at No. 285 Squadron have significant potential to capitalise on the learning skills of new student aircrew and technicians, who are already heavily exposed to computer-based courseware and simulation devices. Quality training for our C-130J personnel will produce personnel who can continue to meet the high-standards that have been accomplished by RAAF Hercules since 1958."

Altriz Develops New Simulator for Malaysian Navy

24 Maret 2015

Altriz Technology Bridge Shiphandling Simulator (photo : Shephard)

Malaysian company Altriz Technology is currently developing a Bridge Shiphandling Simulator (BSS) for the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN), to go alongside an earlier Fleetwork Trainer (FWT) already in operation. Together, these systems comprise what is labelled the Altriz Naval Training Simulator.

The BSS, an integrated bridge system, replicates actual ship bridges where officers can train in ship navigation and ship manoeuvring. Screens show instrumentation such as GPS displays, engine order telegraphs, electronic chart display information systems and radar displays.

Syafiq Jasmin, a senior software engineer, said Altriz commenced the project in June 2014 following a specific request from the RMN. The system uses realistic 3D modelling, and the aim is to create consoles that permit trainees a 270º view. Different weather conditions and atmospheric phenomena can be simulated.

Altriz states it uses ‘top-quality commercial off-the-shelf components to lower total cost of ownership’. The base system can also be easily customised to suit a client’s need. Thus, commercial shipbuilders are another target group for Altriz so they can demonstrate their own designs to clients.

The computer-based FWT, already in service with the RMN at the KD Pelandok naval training centre in Lumut, allows sailors to train in tactical communications and ship manoeuvring. Altriz claims, ‘It integrates computing power, 3D modelling, ship hydrodynamics, oceanography, environment and navigation charts to produce near-realistic training environments for the officers on board.’

The simulator’s screens give operators a panoramic sea view, while hydrodynamics replicates roll, pitch and yaw. A flag-hoisting feature permits sailors to train in visual signalling, while navigational elements such as turn, acceleration and deceleration replicate the characteristics of individual ship classes. Students usually learn in groups of ten, each with their own computer. A recent innovation at the RMN’s request was the addition of a radar function.

Jasmin said LIMA 2015 has given good publicity to his company. He commented that countries like Brunei and Vietnam have shown interest in the Altriz Naval Training Simulator.
