The Indonesian Ministry of Defense (MoD) said that it is in the process of acquiring 12 Turkish Aerospace (TUSAŞ) Anka (Phoenix) medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

In an announcement on its social media account on 31 July, the MoD said the purchase process is marked by the signing of a USD300 million contract with TUSAŞ. The MoD added that the contract was signed on 3 February.

The announcement, which has since been deleted, added that the “contract is currently in the activation process” at the Ministry of Finance (MoF). “The delivery of the 12 Anka UAV units will be carried out 32 months after the contract becomes effective,” the statement said.

The plan for the acquisition potentially satisfies Indonesia's long-stated requirement for a MALE UAV. According to Janes data, Jakarta has been attempting to acquire such a platform since 2017. In February Turkish media reported that Indonesia ordered 12 Anka UAVs. However, Jakarta has not elaborated on its plan for acquisition.

An MoD representative declined to comment on the matter to Janes at the time of publication.

In addition to the procurement of the UAVs and the primary equipment, the MoD said in its statement that the contract also covers additional components such as integrated logistic support (ILS), Ground Support and Test Equipment (GSTE), a flight simulator, and hangar infrastructure. Training as well as a warranty period of 24 months or 600 flight hours (whichever is reached earlier) is also included, the statement added.

The Indonesian Ministry of Finance (MoF) has approved plans for the country to acquire two new airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft, with loans sourced from a foreign lender.

The approval means that the Indonesian Ministry of Defence (MoD) can now formally begin the process of evaluating suitable aircraft types and sources for a foreign lender to fund the programme.

The Indonesian Air Force (Tentara Nasional Indonesia Angkatan Udara: TNI-AU) is currently not equipped with any form of AEW&C capabilities.

Documents provided to Janes indicate that the ceiling approved for the loan programme is USD800 million, and it should cover the delivery of two airframes, together with their associated components, service equipment, and training packages.

The AEW&C aircraft procurement is in addition to the list of 16 programmes for the year, for which permission to take on foreign loans has been granted by the MoF, provided the formal contracts are signed with the MoD by 31 December 2023.

However, for the AEW&C programme, the MoD has a lengthier timeline and contract, for it needs to be signed by 31 December 2024. If a contract does not materialise by then, the approval to take on foreign loans will lapse.

The TNI-AU has a long-standing requirement for at least four AEW&C aircraft and is known to have shown interest in various aircraft types that can be converted for this purpose, including the Airbus C295.
