Ridzwan Rahmat, Jakarta - IHS Jane's Navy International
05 November 2014
Key Points
- Indonesia will introduce an enhanced version of the KCR-40 class missile attack craft, with first orders expected in 2015
- The Indonesian Navy considers the KCR-40 as suitable for archipelagic warfare, but wants it to carry more anti-ship missiles
Indonesian private shipbuilder PT Palindo Marine will introduce an enhanced version of the KCR-40 class missile attack craft currently in service with the Indonesian Navy (Tentera Nasional Indonesia - Angkatan Laut: TNI-AL), a company official confirmed to IHS Jane's on 6 November at the IndoDefence 2014 exhibition in Jakarta.
Mukti Syarif Rivai, a naval architect at PT Palindo Marine, described the new variant as one that will strike a balance between maintaining the agility of the KCR-40 and providing the ability to carry more anti-ship missiles.
