In 2023, Pindad conducted a product demonstration of the AM1 using a red dot sight with a range of 50 meters.[2]
In February 26th, 2025, the assault rifle is designated as the SS3-M1. Pindad announced that the rifle was produced following directives from the Minister of Defense, Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin.[3]
Design
The SS3-M1 is the latest iteration in Pindad's series of assault rifles.
It was developed to provide a more advanced and adaptable weapon system for the Indonesian armed forces, incorporating several key features that enhance its performance, ergonomics, and modularity.
The SS3-M1 is a third-generation assault rifle produced by PT Pindad, based on the AR-15–style design of M4 carbine, HK416, and CAR 816,[4] while also incorporating feedback from users of the SS1 and SS2.[3]
The SS3-M1 is chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO caliber to ensure compatibility with a broad range of ammunitions and accessories. It has a 14.5-inch barrel and an adjustable telescopic buttstock.
It is equipped with Picatinny and M-LOK rail systems, enabling various accessories such as optics, lights, and grips to be mounted according to different mission requirements.
Ergonomic considerations were paramount in the design process, with the SS3-M1 featuring improved grip textures and control layouts to enhance handling and reduce user fatigue.[5]
