Dahana to Produce Sukhoi Fuse Bomb Soon
Sumber Dahana
The technology of military defense industry is no longer dominated by and depending on foreign countries, especially the US and Europe.
Indonesia had already acquired the technology and is now able to produce its own various military needs, which previously had to be imported. To support the primary defense weapon system (alutsista) independency, several potential SOEs are synergized by the government as Strategic Industry SOEs (BUMNIS).
One of the Strategic Industry SOEs is PT Dahana (Persero), the only local industry focusing on various explosives for military needs. Among others, Dahana is currently exploring the development of fuse bomb mass production for domestic military needs. The project itself is a continuation of Dahana’s success in producing the P-100 bomb filling.
Fuse itself is an automatic part of the device that initiates the function, which is to direct the bomb to its correct target without having to be controlled. Without the fuse technology planted in the P-100 bomb, the bomb would only be able to explode with low target accuracy after being shot from the fighter aircraft. The fuse bomb produced by Dahana would later be used for the Sukhoi aircrafts owned by the Indonesian military air force. Aside from that, it is also possible that the fuse bomb, which is planned to be produced in Subang, will be exported to the much potential Asian markets, considering the somewhat rarely present fuse technology at the moment.
The vital Dahana project itself is planned to be completed and start its fuse bomb production by 2015. This is also in accordance with the government’s plan to turn the Sukhoi fighter aircraft armada into one squadron by adding more aircrafts. Currently the Indonesian military air force only has 10 units of the Russian manufactured aircrafts. Through the Defense Ministry, the company will be working with Armaco from Bulgaria to learn about fuse bomb manufacturing technology by means of continuous technology transfer scheme.
As explained by Bambang Agung, PT Dahana (Persero)’s Director of Development and Technology, the fuse bomb project will be synergized with the explosives filling industry which has already been carried out, such as P-100 Bomb, R-Han rocket and Blast Effect Bomb. “Should the project be realized, it would save foreign exchange used to buy alutsista from foreign countries,” said Bambang Agung
