The Indonesian defense industry company that has gone international, PT. Infoglobal Teknologi Semesta (Infoglobal), once again welcomed a visit from the RIDU-Sat (Republic of Indonesia Defense University Satellite) team from the Indonesian Defense University (Unhan RI). Thirty-seven students from Unhan RI observed the progress of nano satellite technology development conducted by Infoglobal's research team in collaboration with the RIDU-Sat team from Unhan RI.
The visit from the RIDU-Sat team from Unhan RI, led by the Head of International Collaboration Center, LPPN Unhan, Colonel Imanuel Dindin, S.T., M.Eng., M. Tr.Hanla., Ph.D., was directly welcomed by the CEO of Infoglobal, Ir. Adi Sasongko, at Infoglobal's main workshop on Jalan Dinoyo, Surabaya, on Friday, February 28, 2025.
This visit was a field study activity aimed at obtaining the latest information regarding the nano satellite technology that has been successfully developed by PT. Infoglobal. This activity is part of the collaboration between the Indonesian Defense University (Unhan RI) and PT. Infoglobal to enhance human resources (HR) capacity in domestic nano satellite technology through the RIDU-Sat program. RIDU-Sat is a strategic collaboration initiative aimed at developing Indonesia's nano satellites. The program is a result of collaboration between Unhan cadet students, lecturers, and practitioners, Unhan RI, the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), the Orari Community, as well as researchers and facilities of PT. Infoglobal Teknologi Semesta.
Colonel Imanuel Dindin, as a representative of Unhan RI, stated that this visit aims for Unhan RI students involved in the RIDU-Sat team to learn about defense technology in general and satellite technology from PT. Infoglobal, thus strengthening independence in mastering technology and supporting national defense. He also expressed his gratitude for the warm welcome and appreciated PT. Infoglobal's ability to produce defense equipment resulting from research in collaboration with Indonesia’s defense stakeholders.
On this occasion, Adi Sasongko, CEO of Infoglobal, expressed that it is a great honor for PT. Infoglobal to collaborate with the Indonesian Defense University (Unhan RI) in the development of Nano satellites. Additionally, Infoglobal has built partnerships with the Ministry of Defense, the Indonesian Air Force (TNI AU), the Indonesian Navy (TNI AL), the Indonesian Army (TNI AD), and other stakeholders in the defense sector such as Dislitbangau, PT DI, PT LEN, and PINDAD over the past 30 years in the development of aviation technology, data communication, military radar systems, avionics, as well as the production of aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This includes reverse engineering activities for the TNI AU's fighter aircraft to support operational readiness. All of this has successfully positioned Infoglobal as one of the few defense avionics companies in the Southern Hemisphere that has successfully marketed its avionics products to friendly countries in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America.
Infoglobal has also established a strategic partnership with AMMROC (Advanced Military Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul Center), a leading provider of military aviation MRO services based in Abu Dhabi, UAE, through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by Infoglobal's CEO, Adi Sasongko, and AMMROC's CEO, Jasem Al Marzooqi at the International Defense Exhibition and Conference (IDEX) 2025, held at ADNEC, Abu Dhabi, UAE, on February 19, 2025. Infoglobal participated in the exhibition with its own booth, which successfully attracted attention and partnership offers for projects related to the manufacture and maintenance of military defense equipment, particularly in the aviation sector.
The field study event continued with a presentation of the Nano satellite technology currently being developed by Infoglobal, along with a presentation on the research and production results of Infoglobal, which have successfully served both domestic and international defense needs. As one of the defense industries with capabilities in defense technology development, particularly satellites, PT. Infoglobal supports this program by developing 1U and 3U-sized Nano satellite technology. All components are designed and manufactured by Infoglobal’s satellite development team, aiming not only for Nano satellites but also for the development of larger satellites for defense purposes independently. This aligns with Infoglobal's support for the Network Centric Warfare program within the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), particularly with the TNI AU.
Meanwhile, RIDU-Sat itself is currently an innovative program supported by the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Indonesia to encourage the capability of students and academic civitas in developing satellite technology, which is an important pillar in creating superior defense human resources to face technological challenges, both for defense interests and for the future development of national interests. This collaboration in satellite technology development is part of Infoglobal's commitment to supporting the independence of national technology and the defense of the Republic of Indonesia.
