KNDS France and the Indonesian Armed Forces: a strong partnership with more than 40 years of cooperation
The long-term partnership with Indonesia is strategic to KNDS. As such, KNDS France’s regional office in Jakarta has been opened in 2022, aiming to strengthen and deepen the strategic industrial partnership with Indonesia on the long-term. KNDS France understands the Indonesian government willingness to achieve autonomy and self-sufficiency in some key defense domains and commits to contribute to these goals.
KNDS France reiterates its full commitment to develop on a long term a stronger and sustainable industrial cooperation with BUMN and private sectors through Transfer of Technology and Transfer of Manufacturing, especially in artillery and medium to large calibre ammunition domains contributing to Indonesian government roadmap to strengthen Indonesian Defence industry.
NDS supports the strengthening of the Indonesian domestic defence and technological industrial base (DTIB).
As a consequence, KNDS France is pleased to announce the signing of five strategic Memorandum of Understanding in land defence domain with KEMHAN and Indonesian industries during the INDODEFENCE 2025 exhibition. These mutually beneficial MOU will strengthen KNDS France’s industrial partnership with Indonesia’s DTIB.
These MOU include PT PINDAD for future cooperation in the field of artillery and large caliber ammunition, all with a local production transfer and PT DIRGANTARA for collaboration regarding the equipment of Indonesian helicopters with 20mm cannons. PT SSE is also included in order to develop a counter-UAV variant of the locally made P2-TIGER, as well as BALITBANG to explore research and developments topics regarding land defense.
