Pindad should have light vehicle division in separate facility, coz Maung potentially will have civilian version and mass produced for civilian market.
Better if they have JV with local company like Astra or Bakrie, that already mature in automotive spare part industry

PT Pindad (Persero) produces the Maung domestically. One of its partnerships is PT Handal Indonesia Motor (HIM).

PT Handal Indonesia Motor is a car assembly company. Various brands, including Chery, Neta, and Jetour, assemble their cars here. Hyundai has also used Handal's facilities in the past.

Jongkie Sugiarto, Deputy President Commissioner of PT HIM, confirmed that his company is collaborating with PT Pindad.

"Yes, Pindad is collaborating with us," Jongkie said at ICE BSD Tangerang recently.

The detikOto team also witnessed the Maung being assembled at Handal's factory in Pondok Ungu, Bekasi, West Java. Jongkie did not disclose the number of Maung cars produced.

Pabrik Ini Jadi Mitra Pindad, Produksi Mobil Maung?

PT Pindad (Persero) memproduksi Maung di dalam negeri. Ternyata salah satunya bermitra dengan PT Handal Indonesia Motor (HIM).

After Hyundai's departure, now PT HMI produces Chinese car also

A PPT presentation by the SAS Director at the 2025 Indonesian Science, Technology & Industry Conversion (KSTI) event at ITB. It featured an infographic of PT SAS Aero Sishan's main product portfolio currently in development and prototype stages. I

n a session at the KSTI 2025 event, the SAS Director presented its latest defense equipment research and development project through a Triple Helix collaboration model involving various research partners from industry, institutes, universities, the Ministry of Defense's Research and Development Agency (Balitbang), and Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) users. This project is being developed periodically, with a timeframe of 2025-2027.

Some of the projects currently underway include:

- Full Tracked Tactical Vehicle with several variants, including a 70mm Rocket Launcher, Surveillance, Recovery, Personnel Transport, and Logistics
- MLRS R-HAN 122B Vehicle - DS-240 Arjuna (60% Local Content)
- Mortar System Vehicle Cal. 81mm (77% TKDN)
- R-HAN 450 Missile Launcher Vehicle
- 70mm Caliber Rocket Launcher Vehicle
- Weaponized Drone (55% TKDN)
- Indonesian Army Air Defense Forces Cannon Modernization Project

Interestingly, several of these products have already achieved TKDN certification with a figure above 50%.

Indonesia Signs Strategic Partnership for KAAN Fifth-Generation Fighter Jets

The Indonesian Ministry of Defense (KEMHAN RI) has formalized a strategic agreement with Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAŞ) for the procurement of up to 48 KAAN fifth-generation fighter jets.

This historic agreement not only covers the acquisition of low-observable, multi-role fighter aircraft for the Indonesian Air Force (TNI AU), but also provides a complete ecosystem encompassing training, technical support, and long-term maintenance in-house.

The KAAN fighter jet is designed as a high-performance, all-weather, twin-engine air superiority aircraft. With high maneuverability, an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar, and an internal weapons bay to maintain a stealth profile, the KAAN is part of a sophisticated fifth-generation fighter aircraft capable of handling modern air scenarios.

The 48 KAANs will be produced in a special "Indonesian Variant" configuration with Turkish-made engines.

Indonesia will also build and operate a local flight simulator to support training and system integration.

This package includes comprehensive training for pilots, technicians, and ground crew, as well as long-term after-sales service, technical engineering support, and integrated logistics.

Two national defense industry entities, PT Republik Aero Dirgantara (PT RAD) and PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI), have been appointed as the main partners in the domestic implementation of this program.

PT RAD: National Infrastructure, Investment, & Training As a subsidiary of Republikorp, PT RAD will be responsible for:

- Construction of a primary MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) facility for KAAN fighter jets in Indonesia.
- Operation of a training center and simulator to support the readiness of Indonesian Air Force personnel.
- Increasing independent and sustainable domestic support capacity.

“As the appointed PT, we are ready to be the main bridge for KAAN technology transfer to Indonesia. This is a strategic momentum to bring manufacturing capabilities and increase independent domestic support capacity,” said Norman Joesoef, Chairman of Republikorp.

PTDI, as a national strategic State-Owned Enterprise (BUMN), plays a crucial role in:

- Final assembly of some KAAN units at PTDI facilities.
- Engineering collaboration and technology sharing with TUSAŞ.
- Technical readiness and industrial maintenance, to strengthen national logistics support.

With the technological leadership of TUSAŞ as OEM and design authority, and investment and industrial contributions from PT RAD and PTDI, Indonesia is moving forward as a nation capable of independently developing and maintaining advanced air defense systems.

This collaborative structure reflects a major transformation in Indonesia's defense industry—from a purchasing nation to a developer and owner of future strategic air defense capabilities.

PT Republik Roketsan Indonesia to Locally Produce 4 Turkiye Missile Systems

Indonesia and Turkey Inaugurate Production of ÇAKIR Missiles Through Strategic Joint Venture

At the IDEF 2025 international defense exhibition in Istanbul, Roketsan and PT Republik Roketsan Indonesia (RRI) officially signed a strategic contract to transfer production of the ÇAKIR missile system to Indonesia. This signing follows up on the initial agreement reached at Indo Defence 2025, within the framework of the Joint Venture Agreement (JVA) between Roketsan Turkiye and Republikorp Indonesia.

This collaboration creates a new entity, PT Republik Roketsan Indonesia, which will spearhead the development of the national missile industry. Through this joint venture, both parties agreed to develop and produce four main missile systems—ÇAKIR, ATMACA, HİSAR, and SUNGUR—in stages domestically, starting with ÇAKIR. This project involves not only the development of high-tech facilities, but also comprehensive technology transfer and the enhancement of Indonesian human resource capabilities.

The contract signing was carried out by Murat İkinci, General Manager of Roketsan, and Norman Joesoef, Chairman of the Republikorp Group, representing the joint venture company, PT Republik Roketsan Indonesia. In his statement, Norman Joesoef stated that this collaboration is not just a business transaction, but a strategic leap toward national defense independence. He emphasized that by producing missile systems like the ÇAKIR in Indonesia, Indonesia is building a long-term foundation for sovereignty in future defense technology.

Roketsan demonstrates its commitment through comprehensive technology transfer support, including the provision of state-of-the-art production equipment, comprehensive technical documentation, and direct mentoring from Turkish experts. The production center to be established in Indonesia is designed to independently handle the entire manufacturing process, from assembly to integration and testing of missile systems. This is a concrete step that will strengthen the overall capacity of the national defense industry.

The success of this project is predicted to have a broad impact on the economy and domestic technological development. The construction of the missile production facility will create high-quality jobs for Indonesian engineers and technicians and encourage the growth of local supporting industries capable of producing components and materials to international standards. With mastery of this modern missile system technology, Indonesia has the potential to become a strategic defense production hub in Southeast Asia, while simultaneously opening access to previously untapped export markets.

The signing of this contract at IDEF 2025 is concrete evidence of the two countries' commitment to realizing their vision of an independent, modern, and integrated defense system. This international collaboration not only strengthens the national defense posture but also positions Indonesia on the global defense industry map as a nation capable of independently producing advanced weapons systems.
