INDODEFENCE 2014 
Hosted by the Indonesian Ministry of Defence, the sixth edition of the biennial Indo Defence 2014 Expo and Forum brings together industry professionals, political and military o cials and international delegations. More than 18,000 visitors are due to attend the show, where they can meet more than 670 companies from nearly 50 nations.
A true tri-service event – incorporating Indo Aerospace, Indo Helicopter and Indo Marine – the show provides a forum where international companies can demonstrate their products and services to military organisations in Indonesia and the neighbouring region.
Equally important, Indo Defence provides a showcase for Indonesia’s defence industry and technological capability.
Indonesia’s armed forces are in the process of modernising to meet growing challenges, with the security of maritime borders a priority.
“ The economic interests of the West and the East pass through this country and we must have the ability to secure this key maritime region,” Indonesian Navy Chief of Sta Admiral Marsetio told IHS Jane’s in a recent interview. “ This is the philosophy that guides us as we embark on the transformation of the TNI-AL and claim our place on the world stage as a world-class navy.” The introduction of new equipment and technology is part of that transformation. While there are still opportunities for overseas companies, there is at the same time a concerted push to cultivate partnerships that will grow the capability of local industry: the tie-up between Saab and PT Lundin to develop the Bone ship unmanned surface vehicle is symbolic of that trend.
In the air domain, Indonesia is rapidly growing its core technological capabilities, as evidenced by the development by PTDI of a new 19- seat transport, the N219, which is due for rollout next year. Indonesia’s aerospace industry is also involved in the KF-X/IF-X project for a twin-engined fighter. Meanwhile, potential armed forces requirements for new aircraft and helicopters have brought international manufacturers flocking to Indo Defence.
Neither has the land domain been neglected and Indonesia has been self-su cient in infantry weapons and small arms ammunition for many years. Older armoured fighting vehicles have been upgraded and the locally designed Pindad Anoa 6x6 armoured personnel carrier is now in service. Exciting developments in the vehicle arena are expected to be announced during the show.
