As part of the capability-development programme supporting DRASS’s contract to supply six next-generation DGK-class compact submarines to Indonesia, Drass specialists Stefano Milani and Martha Casali led and delivered the 5-day “Submarine Workshop Phase 2: Submarine Design & Technical Drawing Analysis” in Jakarta from 6-10 July.

The training is part of the successfully delivered defence projects in Indonesia under contracts between Excalibur International and the Ministry of Defence (Indonesia), with the workshop bringing together representatives from the Indonesian Navy – Tentara Nasional Indonesia (TNI), Ministry of Defence (Indonesia), the Indonesian Defence University – Universitas Pertahanan Republik Indonesia, and the national defence industry.

Through specialist instruction and design analysis—from submarine architecture and system integration to technical drawing review—the programme advanced the transfer of technology, deepened participants’ engineering competencies and strengthened collaboration in submarine technology development, supporting the growth of an autonomous, advanced, and competitive Indonesian defence industry.

DRASS thanks all institutions, participants, and organisers for their valuable contribution to the programme.
