The evaluation, Syaugi told state-run news outlet Antara News on March 1, is being done in line with the Indonesian Armed Forces 2015-2019 strategic plan.
Syaugi made the remarks after a recent visit to China where he observed the AF902 FCS/35, an air defense system designed and manufactured by the Chinese company China North Industries Corp (Norinco).
The AF902 FCS/35 is an anti-aircraft gun air defense system designed and manufactured by the Chinese Company Norinco (China North Industries Corp.)

Its main combat mission is to effectively intercept and kill fixed and rotary-wing aircraft, low and ultra-low flying cruise missiles, and precision-guided weapons below the altitude of 4,500 meters and within the slant range of 8,000 meters. And it can defeat lightly armoured vehicles, surface targets and concealed ground forces as well. With optional NORINCO SHORAD (SHOrt Range Air Defense) missile solutions, performance of AF902 FCS/35 mm AA Gun Air Defence System can be even more satisfying.
AF902 FCS/35 mm AA Gun Air Defence System comprises the state-of-the-art AF902 fire control system, the advanced and trustworthy twin 35 mm AA gun, as well as four types of highly effective and versatile 35 mm ammunition. With its excellent performance of rapid engagement, accurate firepower and high firing endurance, the AF902 FCS/35 mm AA Gun Air Defence System can be used in most tactical air defence situations to defeat anything from maneuverable aircraft, armoured helicopters at the lowest altitude to stand-off weapons. |
