Indonesia has signed a heads of agreement (HOA) for the procurement of 24 Lockheed Martin/Sikorsky S-70M Black Hawk helicopters.
The HOA was signed by Sikorsky and PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) for the Indonesian Ministry of Defense (MoD). The MoD said the defence industry agreement “is related to the procurement of … the Black Hawk helicopters to strengthen the TNI helicopter fleet”.
PTDI president director Gita Amperiawan said that through this agreement, PTDI will continue the development of activities required to bring the Black Hawk to Indonesia. PTDI added that it is prepared to support the MoD to “carry out the procurement of the helicopter” as it is a defence industry under Defend ID.
The company also said its strategic partnership with Sikorsky will support the building of “a national industry in order to meet the needs of the Indonesian Ministry of Defense”.
