Dahana
Project Menang itself actually an independent project from Air Force and Indonesian Aeronautic Research center to provide explosive and propellant device to be used for the contemporary indigenous rocket programme for military use purpose, the end goals at the time is to provide Indonesian Armed Forces with Armed Rocket who had capacities to engage any target in tactical theater. But the programme is actually diverted for civilian use, especially for mining purpose with the boom of Indonesian Mining industries in the beginning of 70 decades at the time of Middle Eastern Oil Crisis. And so we can see how Dahana had been evolved into one large civilian companies who engaged in explosive devices for civilian and military purpose. Lately Dahana had been leaned towards military industries with their co project with PT PINDAD to provide explosive devices and Joint Venture for Propellant Factories set up in West Java.
