=== Design ===
The APS-3 differed from its predecessors which had been based on commercial truck platforms. Instead, the "Anoa" used a [[monocoque]] hull design consisting of armoured steel ([[Rolled homogeneous armour|RHA]]). The steel was made by PT Krakatau Steel to [[STANAG 4569]] Level 3 standard to withstand 5.56 and 7.62&nbsp;mm bullets.<ref name="Kodam" /> A new [[torsion bar suspension]] system was also developed for the ''Panser''. The engine was imported from France with a [[Renault]] MIDR 062045 six-cylinder turbo-charged diesel engine<ref name="AnoaGS">{{cite web| url=https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/indonesia/aps-3-anoa.htm | title=Pindad Anoa 6×6 Panzer APS (angkut personel sedang)-3 | access-date=2024-02-28}}</ref> fitted with [[ZF Friedrichshafen|ZF]] S6HP502 automatic transmission from Germany. The transmission consists of six forward gears and one reverse.

The crew enters the front compartment through two side doors. The driver sits on the right side of the vehicle while the vehicle commander sits on the left. The gunner sits behind commander inside the open turret beside the engine. The engine located in the middle (behind the driver), while the remaining space on the left of the engine (behind the commander) are fitted with an open turret for machine gun or automatic grenade launcher. Two additional hatches at the roof of the front compartment provide emergency exits for driver and commander.
