Atmaca Missile Turkiye (Daily Sabah)
Turkish defense contractor Roketsan has signed two agreements with Indonesia’s PT Republik Defence Indonesia (RDI) for the supply and joint production of the ATMACA anti-ship missile, the state-run Anadolu news agency reported.
The deals were announced during the Indo Defence Expo & Forum in Jakarta, taking place June 11-14, which gathered together defense industry representatives from across the region.
Roketsan General Manager Murat İkinci said on X that the agreements aim to enhance Indonesia’s naval capabilities and support local defense production.
One of the agreements, signed as a Joint Venture Agreement (JVA), outlines plans to establish facilities in Indonesia for assembling and producing ATMACA missiles. The initiative is intended to support efforts to reduce foreign dependence and develop local defense manufacturing capacity.
In addition, Roketsan signed an agreement with Turkey’s Sefine Shipyard to integrate ATMACA missiles into two KCR-70M Fast Attack Craft currently being built for the Indonesian Navy. Construction of the vessels began with a steel-cutting ceremony in November 2024.
İkinci said the shipbuilding collaboration reflects ongoing coordination between the two Turkish companies and their engagement with Indonesia’s naval modernization efforts.
Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto visited the Roketsan booth on June 11 and received a briefing on the company’s missile systems. The visit included discussions on future bilateral defense cooperation.
This week’s agreements follow a January 2024 contract that made Indonesia the first international buyer of the ATMACA missile. That initial deal, reported by the Janes defense outlet, covered the delivery of 45 ATMACA missiles to PT Republik Defensindo, a separate Indonesian defense contractor.
The ATMACA system is expected to be part of Indonesia’s Minimum Essential Force (MEF) modernization program. Interest in the missile was previously signaled during its presentation aboard the KRI Singa (FPB-57) patrol boat.
The ATMACA is Turkey’s first domestically developed sea-skimming anti-ship missile. It was developed by Roketsan in collaboration with Aselsan and engine manufacturer Kale Arge. Development began in 2009, with PT Republik Defensindo acting as the Indonesian partner.
The missile weighs 750 kilograms, has a length of 5.2 meters and is equipped with a 220-kilogram high-explosive warhead. It has a range of more than 220 kilometers and uses inertial navigation and GPS, with terminal targeting via active radar seeker. Its first live-fire test with a warhead took place in February 2021 from the Ada-class corvette TCG Kınalıada.
Roketsan is also developing new variants of the ATMACA, including models with infrared and dual-mode guidance systems. Versions for submarine deployment and vertical launch systems are currently in development.
