PMM—an Indonesian integrator of communications, surveillance, and electronic systems—will partner with Fincantieri to develop advanced solutions that safeguard critical subsea infrastructure, including cables, pipelines, naval bases, ports, and offshore platforms.

The accord was formalized by Mauro Manzini, Vice President Sales of Fincantieri’s Naval Vessels Division, and Adrianus Prima Manggala, Commissioner of PMM.

This collaboration builds on Fincantieri’s recent delivery of two PPA-class frigates to the Indonesian Navy and underscores its commitment to expanding in Southeast Asia through sustainable partnerships and advanced maritime solutions. PMM contributes its proven capabilities in electronic systems integration and maritime defense support, forging a durable industrial alliance to address unconventional underwater threats.
