PT Pindad (Persero) (formerly abbreviated fromPerindustrian Angkatan Darat,lit. 'Indonesian Army Industries'), is an Indonesianstate-owned enterprise specialising inmilitary and commercial products. Pindad provides thearmaments and munitions(alat utama sistem persenjataan,Alutsista) for theIndonesian National Armed Forces and other uniformed agencies mainly to support the defense and security capabilities of the Republic of Indonesia.
Aside fromthe defense industry, Pindad also produces industrial products for other fields such as transportation and commercial explosives.[2] Pindad's activities include design, development, engineering and fabrication as well as maintenance.[3]
In 1808,Governor-General Daendels ordered the establishment of workshops formateriel,munitions, and weaponry maintenance namedConstructiewinkel (CW) inSurabaya, which acted as a precursor to the defense industry in Indonesia. He also instructed the establishment of anartillery workshop known asProjektiel Fabriek (PF). Thegovernment further established naval materiel and explosives factory namedPyrotechnische Werkplaats (PW) in 1850. On 1 January 1851, PW was renamedArtillerie Constructie Winkel.[4]
During the period 1923–1932, workshops in Surabaya were moved to Bandung and merged into a single entity namedArtillerie Inrichtingen (AI). DuringJapanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies, ACW was renamed第一構造Dai Ichi Kozo (DIK). And afterward it was renamedLeger Productie Bedrijven (LPB).
On 29 April 1950, following the agreement onDutch–Indonesian Round Table Conference, whereasNetherlands transferred sovereignty toUnited States of Indonesia, the Netherlands Ministry of Defense also transferred LPB to theIndonesian National Armed Forces and the Ministry of Defense. LPB was later renamedPabrik Senjata dan Mesiu (PSM) and its management was entrusted to theIndonesian Army, making it a nationalized military industrial firm.
PSM was renamedPabrik Alat Peralatan Angkatan Darat (Pabal AD) in 1958, and in 1962 asPerindustrian TNI Angkatan Darat (Pindad).[2]
In 2020, Pindad was reported to have exported Indonesian-made ammunition to Myanmar.[5]
During theCOVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia, PT. Pindad developed a ventilator prototype to be used as a breathing aid for COVID-19 patients. As the number of patients rose and demand for medical equipment in the country skyrocketed, Pindad produced and distributed inexpensive ventilators to hospitals across Indonesia.[6]
