Development
The development history started as a result of increased military intervention in the Aceh province. During the military operations, the Indonesian Army put forward urgent requirements for an armoured personnel carrier for troop transport.[2]
Pindad responded to this requirement in 2004, with the APR-1V (Angkut Personel Ringan) a light 4x4 armoured vehicle based on a commercial Isuzu truck chassis,[3] 14 vehicles were built by Pindad and were sent to Aceh for evaluation and combat trials. However, the follow-on orders for another 26 vehicles were cancelled following the 2004 tsunami.[4] The development of the APC started when Pindad assembled the British-made Scorpion tank. After that, Pindad made a water cannon vehicle and a 4x4 light personnel carrier (APR1-V1) to be used by the TNI and Brimob.
In 2002, PT Pindad produced the 4×4 APR using Isuzu's frame and 120PS engine.[5] This is continued in 2004–2005 by cooperating with BPPT to produce a 4×4 APS (Medium Personnel Carrier) prototype.[1] The development was then continued by developing armoured vehicles whose components developed indigenously by making a prototype of 6×6 wheeled armoured vehicle using a Perkasa truck undercarriage, including a 220 PS engine and a transmission produced by PT Texmaco.[5]
This prototype became the starting point for PT Pindad in developing a 6×6 armoured vehicle with a monocoque body, independent wheel drive and suspension system according to TNI specifications.[5]
