PT Indo Artha Marine accompanied the Chief of Naval Staff, Admiral TNI Dr. Muhammad Ali, and his delegation on a two-day official visit to Germany’s leading defense manufacturers, Rheinmetall and Euroatlas GmbH. The visit began on Tuesday, 18 November 2025, with meetings at the Rheinmetall headquarters and the Euroatlas office in Bremen.
The Indonesian delegation received a warm reception from the top management of both companies and their industry partners. Throughout the visit, the delegation was briefed on the latest advancements in Defense and Security Equipment (Alpalhankam) production, as well as potential cooperation opportunities aimed at strengthening Indonesia’s defense capabilities.
During the first day, the delegation toured several state-of-the-art training and simulation facilities, including the Submarine Control Simulation, Submarine Command Team Training systems, the Action Speed Tactical Trainer for naval warfare officers, and an innovative AUV operational-concept simulator showcased in the Navy Demo Room.
