Driving Export Market Expansion, PTDI Partners with Drone Technology Manufacturing Company
In line with its experience in developing unmanned aerial platforms (drones) for various applications, PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with PT Inovasi Solusi Transportasi Indonesia (FROGS Indonesia)
The MoU, which covers the marketing and production of drones for export markets, was signed on the second day of the Singapore Airshow 2026 at PTDI’s booth A-L31.
FROGS Indonesia is a company focused on the development and manufacturing of drone technology, particularly for the agricultural sector (sprayer drones), aerial mapping, cargo surveillance, and passenger drones.
The synergy between the two parties is expected to strengthen the development of drone solutions that are practical, adaptive, and aligned with user needs.
Through this MoU, PTDI and FROGS Indonesia agreed to conduct joint marketing and promotion of drone products for overseas markets, joint manufacturing, technology transfer, as well as research and development activities aimed at enhancing drone system performance and capabilities.
The collaboration also includes the exploration of each party’s capabilities, in which PTDI will contribute to strengthening system development, utilizing manufacturing facilities, and providing support through its international marketing network. This includes potential support from Indonesian embassies (KBRI) abroad that require the use of drones in the agricultural and livestock sectors.
PTDI’s Director of Commerce, Technology, and Development, Moh Arif Faisal, stated that the cooperation represents a strategic step for PTDI in expanding unmanned aerial system capabilities, particularly in platform development, system integration, and manufacturing readiness for the global market.
Through this collaboration, PTDI aims to promote the development of drones that are not only aeronautically superior, but also reliable in terms of system performance, mission flexibility, and readiness for various operational needs, including surveillance, mapping, and non-combat mission support.
“This synergy is expected to strengthen the independence of the national drone industry while enhancing the competitiveness of Indonesian products in the international market,” he added.
The collaboration with FROGS Indonesia further complements PTDI’s capabilities in the development of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) across various application segments. Previously, PTDI has developed several UAS platforms, including the Wulung UAS and the Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle ‘Elang Hitam', reflecting PTDI’s commitment to continuously building competencies in unmanned aerial vehicle technology.
Through these initiatives, PTDI adopts a comprehensive approach to UAS development, ranging from civil applications such as agricultural drones to more advanced UAS technologies, in support of strengthening the national aerospace industry ecosystem.
