FNSS has announced that the production of the Kaplan Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) for the Indonesian Army has reached its final phase, with testing planned for the first half of 2026. This initiative is part of a contract between PT Pindad and the Indonesian Ministry of Defense for a 30-ton tracked APC.

The KAPLAN APC will prioritize ballistic and mine protection, transport a crew of 13, and feature modular capabilities for various missions. It will be built on a new-generation tracked platform with a power-to-weight ratio of at least 23 hp/ton and will include common parts with existing KAPLAN MT vehicles. The second vehicle will be produced in Indonesia, with both vehicles expected to be delivered by the end of 2026.
