Upgrade Plans for RMAF's 28 S-61 Helicopter
February 06, 2010
Malaysia Considers S61 Upgrade
The Malaysian armed forces are looking for ways to fund an upgrade of their 28 Sikorsky S61 helicopters by the company that maintains them, Airod.
The maintenance firm, part of National Aerospace and Defense Industries, says it can improve reliability and performance while lowering running costs by fitting the aircraft with a glass cockpit, composite rotor blades and an improved transmission, all commercially available.
Payload with maximum fuel would rise by about 1.1 tons (2,400 lb.) thanks to the improved aerodynamic performance of the blades, their lighter weight and the removal of mechanical gauges and heavy wiring, say Airod executives, who are working with Australian S61 upgrade specialist Vector Aerospace.
Underlying the proposal is the assumption that Malaysia needs but cannot afford more medium transport helicopters than the 12 Eurocopter EC725 Cougars that it last year decided to buy for 1.6 billion ringgit ($470 million). Even that order has been delayed, apparently because the government is short of funds.
No formal proposal has been submitted but, according to one industry executive, the air force regards the upgrade as an obvious move, the only issue being to find the budget. Airod has not disclosed how much the modernization would cost.
The new blades would come from Carson Helicopters, the five main cockpit displays from Sagem, and the weather radar, navigation and communications systems from Garmin. Rockwell Collins would supply the attitude and heading reference system and a mode S transponder for the upgrade, which would have a U.S. Federal Aviation Administration supplementary type certificate.
The S61s, known locally as Nuris, have a bad reputation in the Malaysian media because of crashes that Airod says were often caused by inadequate equipment. The helicopters have flown 8,000 to 13,000 hours each.

Keperluan Mendesak Tingkat Kemampuan Pasukan Keselamatan - Ahmad Zahid
LANGKAWI: Malaysia yang selama ini antara negara paling berbelanja rendah bagi keperluan pertahanan di Asia dijangka terdorong untuk mengukuhkan kemampuan pasukan keselamatan khususnya Angkatan Tentera ekoran insiden pencerobohan pengganas Filipina yang masih berlarutan di Lahad Datu, Sabah.
"Saya pasti akan ada peningkatan dari segi perbelanjaan pertahanan terutama apabila aset dan peralatan serta pembangunan ditumpukan di pantai timur Sabah," kata Menteri Pertahanan Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
Katanya perbelanjaan antara RM9 bilion dan RM11 bilion adalah tidak memadai sehingga banyak program pembangunan Angkatan Tentera terbantut dan aset ketenteraan tidak dapat diservis dengan baik, menjadi rosak dan tidak diganti.
Keadaan ini menimbulkan kritikan pihak tertentu yang beranggapan pemerintah terlalu tunduk kepada tekanan pembangkang yang mahu belanja pertahanan dipotong, katanya kepada pemberita semasa Pameran Antarabangsa Maritim dan Aeroangkasa Langkawi 2013 (LIMA 13) di sini, Rabu.
Katanya oleh kerana kekangan tersebut, kerajaan tidak dapat menyelesaikan beberapa program pembangunan Angkatan Tentera yang dirancang pada Rancangan Malaysia Ke-10 (RMK-10) sehingga terpaksa diheret ke RMK-11.
Ahmad Zahid berkata pengumuman penubuhan Zon Selamat Sabah Timur (Esszone)ekoran insiden pencerobohan pengganas yang menyebabkan 10 anggota keselamatan terkorban.
"Kita tidak tunduk pada mana-mana pihak tetapi kita menyedari perlu ada keseimbangan dari segi perbelanjaan yang akan berikan berlipat ganda dari segi pembangunan, ekonomi dan sosial maka perbelanjaan pertahanan telah diseimbangkan dengan keperluan semasa namun kita sedar beberapa aset dan pembangunan agak terabai selama ini," katanya.
Katanya kini wujud keperluan memperoleh beberapa pesawat khusus jenis 'Maritime Patrol Aircraft' (MPA), tetapi buat sementara, dua helikopter dan tiga pesawat terbang akan diubah suai untuk melaksanakan tugasan sekarang.
Zahid berkata apa sahaja perolehan pertahanan oleh kerajaan harus memberi keuntungan kepada negara, sebagai contoh melalui program 'offset' jika aset yang dibeli bernilai RM100 juta, nilai 'offset' yang dipersetujui harus bernilai RM100 juta juga.
"Program offset ini boleh dibuat melalui dua kaedah iaitu pertama, syarikat pertahanan ini perlu menempatkan pusat pengeluaran mereka di sini atau kedua, mendirikan pusat khidmat selepas jualan mereka atau servis mereka di Malaysia," katanya.
Bercakap mengenai program Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), iaitu kapal perang generasi baharu yang bakal dibina di limbungan Boustead di Lumut, beliau berkata reka bentuk kapal itu dibuat oleh Boustead Heavy Industries Corporation (BHIC)dan Boustead Naval Shipyard (BNS).
"Kita juga telah senarai pendek 300 syarikat vendor untuk menyertai pembinaan kapal ini dan walaupun syarikat BNS merupakan syarikat tempatan, kita beri penekanan kepada offset program bagi membangunkan syarikat tempatan khususnya industri pertahanan laut," katanya. BERNAMA

Keperluan Mendesak Tingkat Kemampuan Pasukan Keselamatan - Ahmad Zahid
Pembangkang bukan suruh belanja pertahanan diturunkan, tapi suruh belanja dgn telus, amanah, beli peralatan dgn harga berpatutan tapi dpt barang berkualiti dan berkuantiti. Bukannya beli ciput dgn harga yg mahal. Kalau hanpa tak perobih duit mengalir keluar beratus billion secara halus, nescaya ATM boleh dapatkan berpuluh kapal perang dan pesawat dan pearalatan lain yg depa perlukan tanpa kekangan budget terhad spt hangpa dok selalu bagi excuse.

Airstrikes just first of our firepower options
By Haris Hussain
IT'S amazing what a round of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare can do -- that a cherubic, bespectacled couch potato, who is as athletic as a slab of tofu with zero military background, can form an opinion of how a military campaign should be waged.
Even before the dust cloud from the airstrikes on the Sulu terrorist positions in Kampung Tanduo in Lahad Datu had settled, earth-bound pseudo-"Mavericks" and armchair generals were already taking to the blogs and social media to give their take on how the air and ground offensive should have been carried out.
Some had claimed that the airstrikes by the three Royal Malaysian Air Force Boeing F/A-18D Hornets and five British Aerospace Hawk 208s that were launched off from Labuan had been completely ineffective and had failed to neutralise the enemy.
One even said: "The US air campaigns shows (sic) that effective aerial bombardment requires hundreds if not thousands of ordnance drop (sic) over several days", and suggested that for the airstrikes to work, a sustained bombing campaign along the lines of the Tora Bora throwdown in December, 2001 (five days) and the two-month bombing campaign in Kosovo in 1999, should have been implemented.
There were also those who said that the pilots had completely missed the target, the absence of a body count being the justification for their claims.
An online news portal reported that Abraham Idjirani, the spokesman for the terror group, had said that the bombs dropped by the air force had not hit their positions but had, instead, fallen on security forces that had massed up for the assault.
A late night chat over teh tarik and roti tampal with "Taco", a retired Hornet driver with more than 2,000 hours logged on the type, and his former backseater "Hanus" shed some light on the operational thinking that went into the planning and execution of the air offensive segment of Ops Daulat.
"The first thing you have to realise is, the air force's mission here was not to take out the enemy. They were tasked with softening up the target for the ground troops.
"Because the terrorists are scattered in the area of operations, there's no way the ground commanders can be certain that an airstrike would get every single one of them.
"That's why they opted for a layered offensive. The airstrike was just one element. We still needed to put boots on the ground and clear the area door-to-door, one house at a time."
The aerial bombardment was followed by a mortar barrage and suppressive fire from heavy machine guns before the ground forces were sent in.
When parallels between Tora Bora, Kosovo and Lahad Datu were brought up, "Hanus" put things in perspective.
"Bro, Tora Bora and Kosovo are two completely different scenarios. "Tora Bora is huge, so is Kosovo. It took five days of constant pounding in Tora Bora because of the extensive network of tunnels bored miles into the mountain.
"Even thermobaric bombs and 2,000 pounders couldn't do the job as the tunnels were dug deep inside the mountain.
"lus, there was no specific intel on the exact location of Osama Bin Laden, and the Taliban numbered in the thousands. Nato took two months to bring Kosovo to its knees because of the huge tasking and targeting folders that needed to be sorted out."
"This (Kampung Tanduo) was a precision strike. Every single target the pilots were given was from three weeks of observation and intelligence-gathering.
"We didn't have to carpet bomb Kampung Tanduo because the Hornets' loadout was (GBU-12 Paveway II) laser guided bombs. These are precision-guided munitions; this was a surgical strike. You 'lase' the target with the (AN/AAS-38 Nitehawk) laser target designator and you can't miss," "Taco" adds.
The idea of carpet bombing, a concept borne on the back of the London blitz of the 1940s by Air Chief Marshal Sir Arthur 'Bomber' Harris against German cities and industrial centres, is no longer socially palatable, more so if the area being hit is your own backyard. Politically, it's suicide.
"Carpet bombing is when you want to level an entire town full of enemy combatants. Not a good idea when you're doing it on your own territory and when the risk of collateral damage is high.
"Our guys established a very tight FEBA (forward edge of battle area) because of the proximity of the villages to the target. They took into consideration the lives and property of fellow Malaysians.
"We knew exactly where the terrorists were located from various sources; Humint (human intelligence, from people on the ground), Sigint (signals intelligence) and Comint (intercepted communications, decrypted communique) and other still-classified sources," says Taco.
"This is a limited, low-intensity conflict which requires precision strike capability. The air force's objective for this mission was to soften the targets for the ground forces, nothing more.
"Also, it's not how many bombs you drop, it's how you use them. If the intel is solid and 10 bombs can do the job, why would you want to expend more munitions?"
How do you explain the absence of a body count resulting from the airstrike, then?
"Dude, do you know what a 500lb bomb can do to a human body? If it's an airburst, the lethality radius is expanded. You vapourise. That's it. If that doesn't kill you, the overpressure will.
"The concussion will rip you apart, but not before turning your internal organs to mush. Fusing plays a major part in the kill radius of the bomb."
We should never be led to believe that this crisis will be over in a few days and that one airstrike will get rid of the problem. More work lies ahead for the ground troops and any thoughts that a sustained bombing campaign alone will solve this problem is downright irresponsible and naive.
ON THE OFFENSIVE: The aerial bombardment of Sulu terrorists in Kampung Tanduo merely marks the start of the blitz on our enemies
