All LCSs after LCS-17 (commissioning in 2019) will receive a rotating version of the C-band TRS-4D AESA as well as SeaRAM to replace the current Mk.49 RAM launcher on all freedom-class ships after LCS-17.

Another platform for the Indonesian navy...

(Not much is available for this one, but I tried to dig up what I could...maybe there is enough for a "first draft" version of the platform to be included?)

KRI 625 Klewang
Trimaran KCR Fast Missile Patrol Vessel (FMPV)
Indonesia
Service dates: Unclear...possibly 2017- ??? (the first vessel was delivered in 2012, but burned in a fire only about a month later!)
Pennants: None named besides the ill-fated first vessel in the class, but four ships to be delivered (including a replacement for the one that burned)

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
Carbon composite construction (stealthy, low radar signature), trimaran wave piercing hull (very stable, I would guess)
Displacement: 219 tons
Length Over All: 63.0 meter
Length of Waterline: 61.0 meter
Beam Overall: 16.0 meter
Water Draft: 1.2 meter
Sprint Speed: 35 knots
Range: 2000+ nm @ 16kts
Fuel Capacity: 50,000 litres
Machinery
4 x MAN Marine Diesels
4 x MJP 550 waterjets
Ships Company: 23
Trainees/Others: 7
» Saab RBS15 Mk3 anti-ship missiles (or
» BAE Systems Bofors 40Mk4 40mm main gun
» Saab Sea Giraffe LT radar

» Saab 9LV Combat management system
1 x 11-m RHIB


"The vessel is powered by four MAN V12 diesel engines, driving multiple MJP 550 water jets, located on the three for maximum propulsive thrust and maneuverability. The vessel can develop a ‘sprinting’ maximum speed of 35 knots. Cruising speed is 16 knots and the stated operational range is over 2000 nautical miles....The Klewang is armed with concealed gun turret, missile launchers and small arms posts. Trimarans offer very stable weapons platforms, and can carry various Missile systems; including Type 705 (up to 8), RBS15, Penguin or Exocet, and 40-57mm Naval Guns, or a CIWC (Close In Weapon System). These can be mounted high on the superstructure, giving better range and firing arc. Sensors can also be installed high up without concerns for stability. This first ship will carry a turnkey system delivered by CSOC and CPMIEC China, including rapid fire CIWS, combat control and missile systems. The exact configuration of this system is still classified....Accommodation is provided for a complement of twenty nine (officers and crew) on three internal decks (including bridge and combat control centre), with facilities and equipment also provided for deployment of special forces troops, including an 11m high speed 50 knot RIB, also manufactured and supplied by North Sea Boats." --http://defense-update.com/20120906_kri-klewang-first-stealthy-trimaran-patrol-vessel-for-the-indonesian-navy.html

"The Fast Missile Patrol Vessel (FMPV) employs a modern “Wave Piercing” trimaran design. This allows the vessel to cut-through waves rather than rise up and over them, and the increased beam provides inherent stability. This combination of features reduces both pitching and rolling, creating a stable weapons platform, and enabling the vessel to comfortably and safely maintain higher average speeds in adverse conditions....The FMPV has “Stealth” design characteristics, and incorporate features that minimise detection by reducing Radar, Infra-Red, Acoustic and Magnetic signatures. Stealth properties are further improved as there are no reverse-angle bow overhangs to reflect radar signals, as seen on conventional hull forms. Weaponry, including missiles and naval guns, and the ships 11 m high-speed RHIB, are discreetly concealed or shaped to meld into the superstructure profile." -- http://www.navyrecognition.com/index.php/news/defence-news/year-2012-news/august/581-north-sea-boats-to-launch-new-63m-stealth-fast-missile-patrol-vessel-for-indonesian-navy.html

HI Mark. I think this ship burned in a fire a few years ago. This is why I never added it.

Can you verify that its still around?

"We know what we need to do," said Capt Vandroff. "We need to get a SPY +15 dB radar onto a DDG 51
hull and deliver it to the fleet. Every other one of those requirements after that, some of them might be
nice but we might say, 'I'm not taking that stuff today. I'm going to do something else. I'm going to keep
the risk low.' So the only technology that's getting on [Flight III] is something that's already ripe and ready
right now."

quote:

Employing full digital beamforming, the AN/SPY-6(V) will have more than double the range of the SPY-1,
support efficient and precise search and tracking using multibeam operation, and provide robust BMD
detection and discrimination. Fundamental to this leap in performance is the use of Gallium Nitride (GaN)
semi-conductor technology.

quote:

AMDR provides greater detection ranges and better discrimination accuracy than the radar onboard today’s destroyers. In fact, the 37 RMA configuration (see cool fact #3) can see a target of half the size at twice the range.

With the excellent new port mechanics i thought to myself that a "Single-unit Naval Base" including a magazine and air facilities (rotary only) would be neat.

This is being jointly developed by Indonesia and South Korea, and both countries will operate them. Eventually.

Yes, the original one burned in a fire, but apparently they were going to build four of them. After the fire, the order got put on hold, I guess. (Indonesia is not revealing much information. The nerve of some people!) This article, from 2014, says a new one was ordered, but I have no idea how reliable it is.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3136580/posts

Just the idea of a flotilla of four stealthy missile boats, each with up to eight missiles, is pretty scary! That could really ruin someone's day.

If there isn't enough information to add it, that's okay; I'm roughing up a two-week scenario involving Australia and Indonesia in 2021, so I thought it would be good to include, but Indonesia has plenty of other missile boats. (By 2021, I could assume, if need be, that the trimaran gets canceled and they just build more of the other patrol/missile craft.)

Requesting (for a scenario involving a conflict between Indonesia and Australia in 2021)...

Nagabanda-class submarine
Indonesia
Operational dates: 2017-
Pennants: KRI Nagabanda (403); KRI Trisula (404); KRI Nagaransang (405)

As far as I can tell, this is an improved Chang Bogo class. The Chang Bogo is already in the database (#224). The main changes seem to be improved sensors...

"DSME signed a contract with Indonesia on for the supply of three Improved Chang Bogo-class submarines. These submarines will be equipped with Atlas Electronic CSU 90 hull-mounted passive and active search-and-attack sonar and flank sonar arrays, Indra's Pegaso RESM system and Aries low-probability of intercept radar, L-3's MAPPS integrated platform management systems and Sagem's Sigma 40XP inertial navigation systems." --Wikipedia

Thanks for considering this one.

Anybody know what the weapons will be? Key detail that I didn't see.

Thanks!
