In enhancing the Defense Industry in Indonesia, it is certainly very complex, but in this case there are also key actors referring to the political economy relationship that occurs between legislators, the national armed forces, and the weapons industry. These relationships are related to political contributions, political approval of military spending, lobbying to support the bureaucracy, and industry. The three bodies, which at present are more commonly referred to as congress / parliament, defense ministry, and defense industry, are then referred to as the iron triangle of defense. In which this involvement is narrowed back to the focus of the land dimension in this implementation, PT. Pindad and also the end-user of the Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI AD) in order to reduce dependence on foreign products and further increase the independence of the national defense industry.
