KEBIJAKAN INDONESIA MELAKUKAN KERJASAMA PERTAHANAN DENGAN KOREA SELATAN DALAM PENGADAAN KAPAL SELAM DSME 209/1400
Abstract
The Indonesian state adheres to defensive defense policy, in
accordance with the principles of the Pancasila State and
geographical conditions, the TNI needs to prepare itself to
implement a defense strategy. One effort to implement the
defense strategy is to prepare defense equipment that is in
accordance with Indonesia's geographical conditions and
ready to be used whenever needed. The age of defense
equipment of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) that
exist today is mostly very old. As a country that has just started
the development of the domestic defense industry, Indonesia
needs to do a lot of cooperation in the defense sector, especially
with countries that have good domestic defense industries or
developed countries. Indonesia cooperates with South Korea in
the field of defense in the collaboration of submarine
development. The collaboration was carried out against the
background of Indonesia's desire to meet the target of having
12 submarines in 2024. In 2011, the Indonesian government
signed a contract to purchase 3 units of DSME-209 submarines
from South Korea with a contract value of around $ 1.1 billion.
In the purchase contract, it was stated that Indonesia bought 3
units, of which the last 1 unit was planned to be made at the
National Shipyard, PT. PAL Surabaya. For the purpose of the
independence of the defense industry, the purchase of
technology (ToT) scenario and the On the Job Training (OJT)
scenario at the DSME shipyard in South Korea are written in
this purchase contract.
