Day 3 at Lima 2017
0:11
Today we are back at the maritime zone. We are focusing on the Malaysian naval defence industry as well as in the Royal Malaysian Navy
0:49
So as you see, our chief of navy has actually envisaged a programme to transform 15 class
1:00
of ship into 5 class of ship in view to develop a modern navy as well as to reduce the constraint
1:08
in terms of maintenance and organisation of fleets. So what we have here is the sea basing project
1:16
We have auxiliary ship, Tun Azizan, as well as sea base Tun Sharifah Rozia
1:23
So that whenever we need to deploy our force far from our operational base, so we have
1:30
these two platforms to accommodate our forces, our ships, in terms of probably logistic as
1:38
well as operational support. We have planned to procure new littoral combatant ship, probably from, we have signed an agreement
1:48
with France, so that we are planning to have it around 2023
1:55
So this is the model of the littoral combatant ship that we are going to have
2:00
While having this ship, we are going to move more towards the navy vision, which is to
2:06
be the world class navy. Now we come to the underwater section, where we focus more on our submarine, submarine
2:14
force, where currently we have two scorpion submarines, constructed by French and Spain
2:23
So this is a very good submarine. It has a very good sensor, and we have been operating this submarine since 2009
2:31
So we have conducted numerous exercises, local forces, as well as foreign navies
2:39
This is a flagship and pride of Royal Malaysian Navy. Now we are in special force booth, the PASCAL, they are the pride of our navy
2:50
KREM DELA KREM, they can be deployed from everywhere, sea, air and land
2:56
Now we are in missile and torpedo section. You can see here is the ship-borne torpedo system A244S from WAWS, produced in Livorno, Italy
3:10
We use this torpedo from a ship, deployed from a ship, to hunt for submarine
3:17
What you can see here is our MAGMAV-40, also surface to surface missile
3:26
This torpedo is equipped on board our frigate. In there is the submarine vehicle of SM-39, anti-ship missile that is deployed from a
3:36
submarine to destroy a surface ship. And what we have here is actually the missile itself when it is deployed from above the
3:45
sea level. We are very lucky to get a contract from the government to build four what we call
4:28
littoral mission ships in collaboration with the Chinese shipyard. The arrangement is for us to use their design and for the first two to be built there and
4:41
the subsequent two will be built in one of our yards. Of course we will be actively involved in determining the specification and monitoring
4:55
and ensuring that our requirements or the Navy's requirement of the end user be met
5:04
From the Navy's perspective, because we built for them, we believe that it is mainly for
5:11
supplementing the effort of our Coast Guard for peacetime patrolling and law enforcement
5:22
Although the primary responsibility is the Coast Guard, the Navy is still supplementing
5:28
So this is a fairly straightforward vessel, as you know, the size is below 70 metres and
5:35
the armaments are fairly basic. However, it is designed to be very versatile and also very practical
5:47
So of course, although we have been building ships, including what we call the LCS or frigates
5:57
this is just as useful for us in terms of learning the techniques of the Chinese designers
6:05
in the shipyards. This project is a proposal for our Royal Malaysian Navy as a sea basing for offshore sea base
6:25
This is a self-propelled sea base that can accommodate about 40 people on board
6:36
Then it can accommodate also small craft from stern area and also they have a landing pad
6:45
for helicopter landing. We designed for Sabah water area that is required for sea base operation that is required
6:55
for our military purpose. There are another program for that, for this vessel
7:05
Existing sea base, the Navy, they have only fixed platform that we propose better solution
7:15
for Navy based on this self-propelled sea base so they can move in a real movable
7:34
This is the ocean offshore patrol vessel. We are in the process of procuring this OPVs, three of them, and we are in the final stages
7:49
of signing the contract. Since this is an offshore patrol vessel, it will be deployed in the exclusive economic zone
7:55
The focus for the areas of operation will be in the exclusive economic zone
8:01
Some of the missions that we are looking at is illegal fishing, also environmental pollution
8:07
and counter piracy operations. The one that we are procuring is designed by Daemon and they will be built by two companies
8:17
It's a joint venture between Tabung Haji, Navy Engineering, and Sunil Berhad
8:22
This vessel will be equipped with the same type of gun that has been installed or that
8:26
will be installed on the NGPC, which is the 30mm SMASH weapon
8:32
And then it will be also equipped with the UAB. We have three boats on board and these boats will be used to..
8:44
Actually this ship will act as a mother ship and then we will launch the boats to do the operations
8:49
The concept of our operation will be that we have the ship out at sea and then we will
8:55
launch the UAB. So the UAB will be doing the surveillance to look for any illegal fishing activities
9:03
or any other illegal activities. Once we have spotted the vessel and then identified, then we will launch the small boats
9:12
And one boat will be using the stern launch method
