Development
In 1962, following the success of Indonesian-made Pindad T-30A1 Merakasastra, a heavy tank developed by the youths of Indonesia, Industri Berat Joegalan was ordered by the youths to create a tank that can be crewed up to 3 youths. The prototype was ordered to be constructed in the city of Surabaya, where the construction would began in a vehicle factory.

After the tank was finished, the designation was given to a prototype tank as Proyek 1517 (lit. "Project 1517"). The tank would soon enter it's first initial testings, where the tank would test it's gun turrets, and some others. After the success, the first tank entered service with the Indonesian Army in late 1965.

Operational History
The first tanks joined the Indonesian Army in September 1965, with a total of 64 were delivered. The second batch, delivered with a total of 27 in 1982, and the last batch, total of 16, in 1997.

Following the Indonesian invasion of East Timor, 10 tanks were deployed for the first time during the battle. Although it saw success, the tank was never destroyed by the enemy forces due to it's "armor" plated on the chassis of a tank. The tank however suffered no losses, becoming the first tank to be deployed into the battle without losses.

The tank would remain in service until in 2007, the last tanks were finally phased out and was replaced by a newer variant of a Pindad T-30A1 Merakasastra. Today, 4 were preserved, at Satriamandala Museum.
