Dislitbang AD Buat Purwarupa Rantis 4x4 (Lagi)

By dsofandi -
JAKARTA - TNI berhasil menciptakan prototipe kendaraan taktis (Rantis) berpenggerak empat roda 4x4. Kepala Subdinas Materiil Utama (Kasubdismatut) Dinas Penelitian dan Pengembangan TNI AD (Dislitbangad) Kolonel Kav Rihananto selaku Kepala Pelaksana Kegiatan (Kalakgiat) Rantis menyerahkan prototipe itu kepada Panglima TNI Laksamana TNI Agus Suhartono di Jakarta, Senin.

Ia mengatakan Rantis tersebut dapat digunakan di medan yang berat seperti tanjakan terjal, jalan licin ataupun jalan yang berlumpur.

Rihananto memaparkan cara kerja dari Rantis 4x4 adalah mesin dihubungkan dengan differensial tengah ("transfer case") yang membagi tenaga ke roda belakang dan roda depan. Karena pada saat menggunakan penggerak empat roda, penggunaan energi lebih tinggi.



Rihananto menambahkan kendaraannya itu masih dibuat dari beberapa komponen dari beberapa produk seperti CJ-7 (USA), BEIJING (China), ISUZU OZ (Jepang), KIA KM-420 (Korea), LANDROVER (Inggris), UAS (Rusia) dan OVERLAND (Inggris) buatan 1979 -1981.

"Konsekuensi dari keanekaragaman tersebut berdampak terhadap rumitnya pengoperasionalan dan pemeliharaan, termasuk tukar alih suku cadang, sehingga berpengaruh juga terhadap biaya pemeliharaan satuan," ujarnya

"kedepannya diharapkan terdapat standarisasi Rantis TNI. Mengacu kepada konsep `Minimum Essential Forces` (MEF) diharapkan TNI pada 2014 dapat memenuhi kebutuhan alutsista dengan prioritas produksi dalam negeri," ucap Rihananto.

Pembuatan prototipe Rantis TNI ini melibatkan mitra industri yakni PT. Autocar, PT. Pindad, PT. Yudistira, PT. Petrodrill, PT. Gajah Tunggal, PT. Krakatau Steel, PT. Pilar Mas Kursindo, PT. Indo Pulley Perkasa dan PT. Alam Indomesin Utama.

Malaysian Defense: Budget Hinders Military Asset Procurement 17 Maret 2017 RMAF Hawk 208, F/A-18D Hornet, MiG-29N, and Su-30MKM (photo : RA AZ) MELBOURNE, Australia — Malaysia’s military continues to struggle to implement plans to recapitalize its assets, as the government’s budget is battered by slow economic growth mainly due to falling oil revenues.  As a result, major procurement programs for the Malaysian Armed Forces have mostly been put on hold even as existing platforms rapidly approach obsolescence. For the Royal Malaysian Air Force, this means that badly needed fighters, trainers, helicopters and maritime patrol aircraft will unlikely be acquired in the short to medium term. Situated alongside the vital maritime trade routes and the hotly disputed islands of the South China Sea of which it partly claims, Malaysia faces a unique geographical challenge, as its territory is split by the South China Sea into two separate landmasses 365 miles apart at its nar...
