PT Pindad Badak breaks cover

In September the two companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collaborate on the development of military vehicle weapons systems.

Belgian company, CMI Defence, has agreed to transfer technology and expertise to PT Pindad under the terms of the MoU. The latter will then licence manufacture and integrate CMI weapons systems onto its military vehicles.

The vehicle on display is fitted with a Cockerill CSE 90 LP (low pressure) gun integrated on a two man turret. In 2009 the Indonesian Army signed a contract with Doosan for 22 Tarantula armoured combat vehicles, which mounts the CSE90 turret on the South Korean company’s 6x6 Black Fox APC. Doosan announced completion of the vehicles in May 2013.

However, a government mandate means that the army must purchase a domestic alternative if available, which will give PT Pindad’s Anoa preference. There is believed to an undisclosed mandated minimum number of vehicles to be ordered but the expectation is that the army will buy hundreds.

The two companies are expected to sign a full partnership agreement formalising the MoU on 6 November. The agreement covers CMI-designed systems ranging in calibre from 25mm to 105mm. As well as the Anoa, PT Pindad will also look at integrating systems on its 4x4 Komodo tactical vehicle.

Patrick Ledig, CMI Defence’s regional manager, told Shephard that he expects PT Pindad to begin manufacture of the turret in January and that the company expects to transfer some production to Indonesia for other customers as the company wins business.

The agreement marks the continuation of the Indonesian defence company's strategy to develop capabilities through partnerships with international partners a senior PT Pindad official told Shephard.

The Anoa was publicly unveiled in November 2008 and PT Pindad has built an estimated 150 for the Indonesian army. In addition, Brunei ordered 15 vehicles in 2011 and East Timor has bought four. Several countries in the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region have been cited as potential export customers.

PT Pindad displayed the Anoa at the DSA exhibition in Malaysia in 2012 as a contender for a Malaysian Army UOR.

Indonesian APCs are typically fitted with a protected weapon station which can be armed with a 40mm automatic grenade launcher, .50cal heavy machine gun or similar weapon. The vehicle has also been displayed fitted with a RCWS.

PT Pindad has proposed a complete family of Anoa variants including APC, IFV, reconnaissance, fire support, mortar carrier, ambulance, recovery, and logistics carrier.
