HAH ALAM: Bernama Online reported yesterday that Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Hussein as saying the first LCS/SGPV/Laksamana class ship will be operational by 2018. The ships according to the same report will be the main asset of the RMN.
SEVILLA (SPAIN): A RADICAL shift is expected in the way the Royal Malaysian Airforce (RMAF) approaches military and humanitarian missions, once it takes delivery of the new Airbus A400M Atlas aircraft.
The aircraft, dubbed the "next generation airlifter", is to play a pivotal role in the airforce's operations once it comes into service in two years.
Airbus Military head of media relations Maggie Bergsma said first of four aircraft ordered by RMAF was expected to be delivered by the 2015 deadline.
"We are on track and the first delivery for Malaysia is scheduled for 2015. We have launched long-lead items up to MSN33, which includes two A400Ms for Malaysia. The fourth delivery for the RMAF is scheduled for 2016," she said.
RMAF had placed an order for the aircraft on Dec 8, 2005.
She said the A400M was expected to change the way military and humanitarian operations were carried out by RMAF.
Bergsma said this was due to the A400M's ability to perform tasks that were previously executed by three aircraft.
"The A400M will mark a difference in the way military and humanitarian missions are approached.
"The versatility of the A400M allows one aircraft to do the job of three aircraft.
"The A400M can deliver the contents of its bigger payload faster, further and nearer to where it is needed.
"The RMAF will not only have three aircraft in one with each A400M, it will also have an aircraft that can do better than these three together. This is certainly a change. And it is a change for good."
On the question of the difficulty in transition between the RMAF's fleet of C-130 fleet and the A400M, Bergsma said this would not be a problem.
"The RMAF was involved in the programme from the start and is fully participating with the Airbus Military teams to prepare for the delivery and entry into service."
She said discussions were in place with Malaysia to ensure that all services needed for the operation of the aircraft were ready in time for the delivery.
Malaysia joins seven airforces -- Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Spain, Turkey, and the United Kingdom -- to have the A400M in their fleets.
Bergsma said Malaysia, like all of the A400M launch customers, had been participating in the design and manufacturing of several A400M secondary composite structural components.
She said Composite Technology Research Malaysia (CTRM) was the sole source of such components, notably the complete vertical tail plane leading edge, the main landing gear doors, and access panels on the wings and horizontal tail plane, plus nacelle fairings.
She said this following the delivery ceremony of the A400M in Airbus Military's production facility in Sevilla, Spain, on Sunday.
The ceremony was graced by Felipe, Prince of Asturias. Also present was French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian.

wow, mini ekranoplan? nice R&D
would be cool if malaysia sea patrol or coastguard use some of this stuff, since Malaysia has a fairly wide littoral area to covered
korean coast guard authorities had been using a similar type of wing-in-ground effect craft (named aron) to patrol littoral area
I found a video on youtube that shows how it works

Sampai bila kita nak jadi end-user, bro? Cuba tengok Indonesia & Singapura, mula2 dengan membeli lesen pengeluaran, dan pastinya kos R&D yang melibatkan latihan kepakaran, pertukaran serta pemindahan teknologi serta akhirnya hak pengeluaran memakan kos lebih besar pada awalnya. Short term capital costs memang tinggi bro.
As time goes by, with support from Govt. incentives, akan memberi pulangan yg besar kepada syarikat tempatan bagi mendapatkan kos R&D produk2 pertahanan yang baru. Yang ini membolehkan industri pertahanan tempatan berkembang. Dalam hal ini, Indonesia & Singapura jauh meninggalkan kita.
Malahan kerajaan Singapura & Indonesia menaruh sepenuh kepercayaan kepada industri pertahanan masing2 dalam memperkasakan kekuatan persenjataan angkatan tentera mereka.
Cuma, dengan penghasilan AV-8 serta projek SGPV sudah mula nampak inisiatif kerajaan kepada industri pertahanan kita. Sudah tiba masanya peranan industri pertahanan diperkembangkan.

Aku harap hang tengok komen aku dgn tone sarcasm. Aku mmg dari kenal militari sejak skolah rendah mahukan negara buat sendiri semua keoerluan kita.

malaysia never had a national rocket programme.
whatever rocket projects initiated were by academic institutions like UTM and USM.
so far their solid propellant rockets are too small...... Not worth mentioning.

Pindad SS1 assault rifle (licensed FN FNC) - Cambodia, Nigeria, UAE
CASA/IPTN CN-235 - sebab ni JV dengan Spain, ada customer dari Spain...IPTN banyak handle order dari Asia, termasuk Malaysia.
Mmg Indon kurang dari SG pasal eksport senjata tapi diaorang banyak ambil lesen pengeluaran dari syarikat senjata luar bagi hasilkan senjata dalam negeri.

Assalamualaikum,
Ambik lesen buat rifles...............setakat utk kegunaan ATM sahaja.
BIla 120k rifles di buat................pekerja di berhentikan kerana TIADA lagi pesanan.
Sama gak dgn lori ATM.
Buat utk ATM sahaja................harga lebih mahal dari IMPORT.
Kerana pesanan tak banyak.
Nak bayor gaji pekerja yg dok goyang kaki bila TIADA PESANAN dari ATM.
Sebab itu aku dari dulu dah SYORkan agar kita/ATM beli direct jer dari luar.
Lagi cepat n lagi murah..............
Apa yg nak di BANGGAkan kalau kesemua di IMPORT and then di PASANG di dlm negara.
SETAKAT tukar LOGO....................then claimed BUATAN MALAYSIA.
Charge harga mahal mahal.
UAV Malaysia................aduuuhhhhh
Dok R&D di peringkat bayi....(nyamuk)
Pi laa beli yg canggih and then dismantle and buat research dari situ.
Terus LOMPAT dlm teknoloji nya.
Nak camera, night vision, infra red, thermal imaging, engine UAV ..............beli jer ON-THE-SHELVE.
Lagi mudah n cepat.....
JANGAN MALU nak copy-cat.
Janji ia menguntungkan kita.

Memang dah boleh agak.
Senjata kelas bawahan. Pesawat & kenderaan darat pula guna enjin import.
UAV Malaysia terpaksa guna enjin kecil import sebab tak ada pengeluar tempatan sanggup hasilkan enjin kelas bawahan.
Kenderaan negara jiran pula terpaksa guna enjin besar dari luar sebab tak ada keupayaan langsung untuk bangunkan sebarang enjin
