Pierre Eric Pommellet, Naval Group’s CEO and Kaharuddin Djenod, his counterpart from PT PAL, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding in presence of General Prabowo Subianto, Indonesian Minister of Defence and Florence Parly, French Minister of the Armed Forces, Naval Group writes in a press release.
The intention is to leverage the capabilities of both partners to meet the growing requirements of the Indonesian Navy against the background of Indonesia’s intention to acquire two SCORPENE type submarines. The submarines would be built in Indonesia based on transfer of technology by Naval Group. Both companies also intend to open a joint R&D centre involving other Indonesian companies.
