China is offering to install a maritime surveillance system worth CNY1 billion (USD158 million) in Indonesia, sources have told IHS Jane's. China's offer comes only a few months after the United States handed over the Integrated Maritime Surveillance System (IMSS) to the Indonesian Navy. A USD57 million programme, the IMSS is "a tightly integrated network of ship- and shore-based sensors, communications devices, and computing resources that collect, transmit, analyse and display a broad array of maritime data," the US State Department said in an 18 November 2011 statement.
