Australia Confirmed to Buy 12 SkyGuardians

Defence will Buy Skyguardian Drones Despite Concerns

The Australian government has confirmed it will still buy 12 SkyGuardian drones, despite uncertainty over its capability over urban environments, writes Charbel Kadib.

The Department of Defence has confirmed it is developing options for up to 12 General Atomics MQ-9B (SkyGuardian) aircraft to present for second pass government approval in 2022, as part of Project AIR 7003, a $1.3 billion program to deliver an armed remotely piloted aircraft system to the ADF.

This comes despite General Atomics’ failure to demonstrate the aircraft’s capability in urban environments, with the manufacturer forced to cancel a test flight in San Diego earlier this year in response to community pushback.

Last month, US regulators confirmed that General Atomics would need to reapply for permission to conduct test flights over densely populated urban environments in light of safety concerns.

However, a spokesperson from the Department of Defence has said the decision to purchase SkyGuardian would not be affected by the current domestic air space restriction in the US.

According to Defence, worries over regulatory compliance, aviation safety and airworthiness would be addressed “well ahead of achieving initial operating capability”, currently scheduled for the “mid-2020s”.

“The variant of SkyGuardian that Defence is purchasing will be certified to similar standards as manned aircraft. This is to ensure the safety of people on the ground and other airspace users,” the spokesperson told Defence Connect.

    1. Berat mas.

      The allocation includes the acquisition of new assets (RM1.6 billion), maintenance of key assets (RM2.3 billion).

      Perolehan asset baru budget setahun $ 384 Million.

      Untuk selesaikan 2 saja LCS nya butuh $ 450 Million.

      Prediksi saya kalau ambil jalur selesaikan LCS selama 4 thn kedepan maka hanya ada sisa $ 200 Million per tahun.

      Padahal mau beli 4x4, 6x6, LCA, MRCA dan MRSS juga ??

      Ini belum urusan sisa pembayaran little bird, payment term A400M dan keinginan punya VL MICA spt KRI REM.

      Hmm... Sulit secara logika kecuali ada sistem loan seperti case LMS China kemarin. πŸ™„

  14. Indonesia appears to have received its first Norwegian Advanced Surface to Air Missile System 2 (NASAMS 2) air defense missile system, which it ordered from Norway's Kongsberg Group in 2017.

    Photos have surfaced from Indonesian defense pages showing a NASAMS 2 missile launchers possessed by elements of the Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI), being prepared and armed and was said to be for deployment to the country's capital, Jakarta.

    The first battery is expected to defend high-value government facilities, including the Istana Negara state palace, and the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.

    The Indonesian Ministry of Defence (MOD) ordered two batteries of NASAMS from Kongsberg Group in a deal worth US$77 million.

    The system uses the Raytheon AIM-120 AMRAAM medium range air defense missiles, similar to those already in use by the F-16C/D Fighting Falcon fighter aircraft of the Indonesian Air Force (TNI-AU). It also is compact enough to be carried by a C-130 Hercules transport aircraft, and can be installed on a mobile platform.

    These are currently the most capable ground based air defense system of the TNI, and is capable of medium-range engagements of up to 60 kilometers.

    The TNI plans to order additional units although this is still subject to the MOD's Minimum Essential Force modernization program plan

    "Perpanjangan GSP itu menurutnya memberikan peluang bagi lapangan kerja dan kesempatan bagi banyak sekali UKM di Indonesia. Lighthizer menyampaikan dirinya senang atas kerjasama yang baik dalam proses negosiasi. Semula dirinya memperkirakan pencabutan GSP yang dilakukan kepada India dan Turki juga akan dilakukan kepada Indonesia. Tapi karena kerja sama yang baik, justru hal ini dapat diselesaikan dengan baik."
