Indonesia: 'green water navy'

[Ananda]

That's idea that MinDef looking for. Garibaldi according to Fincantieri official still in good condition, that they guarantee can operate in good condition up to 2040. Indonesia already drawing plan for building its own LHD/Light Carrier. With all other plan procurement, I don't think it will be given priority budget in this term. Garibaldi is the next best thing.

I suspect a light carrier will be more effective than a LPD type. UAS will produce some very interesting possibilities.

Drone carrier concept I believe that attract more TNI-AL and MinDef on operating Garibaldi. They have enough LPD to conducting Amphibious and Emergency operation. Republikorp already sign agreement with Bayraktar for JV production up to 60 TB3. This is what main attraction with Garibaldi I suspect.

Xavier video in IndoDefence shown PT. LUNDIN designs. The interview conduct with the owner and CEO John Lundin. He's Swedish that marries Indonesian and build the company shipyard in East Java. Specialise with fast boats. PT. Lundin is part of Northsea Boats group NORTHSEABOATS – Securing Nation.

I put also Republikorp Stealth Missile boat design which in my opinion targeting same market niche. Both being design as Compact Fast Missile Boats, with abilities as hybrid manned and UAS mode. Republikorp boat designed using Roketsan Atmaca SSM while Lundin boat designed using Kongsberg NSM.

Lundin also shown other UAS design that also can have flexible payloads. Seems war in Ukraine now spurred UAS design everywhere.

Until now most projects from PT Lundin end up as a single vessel for evaluation without a follow on order/serial production.

X3K/ 63 m Trimaran is such example, just a single vessel after KRI Klewang 625 ended up in flames during construction. So they plan to upgrade the KRI Golok 688 and install a Bofors 57 mm and ATMACA launchers. Well we will see if this plans become reality.

The X18 Antasena, it seems the army isn't impressed by this design (or do not require a boat like this), so hopefully the navy will be satisfied and finds the X18 usable... to guard naval bases or to use it for Korps Marinir operations for example.

Exail wins Indonesian Navy contract for mine warfare systems - Naval News

The Indonesian Navy (TNI AL) awarded a contract to Exail for the supply of unmanned surface vessels (USV) and unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV) dedicated to mine warfare.

www.navalnews.com

Four USV from Exail call Inspector 90 for minehunter has been contracted by TNI-AL. This means that the two Abeking-Rasmussen build MCMV will have mothership capabilities for USV. Something that inline with latest trend of MCMV development.

This more capable then the other two MCMV of Tripartite class that eventough already has modernisation program by Hensoldt KRI Pulau Rengat 711 dan KRI Pulau Rupat 712 (Tripartite Class) Diretrofit oleh Hensoldt, Tuntas Tahun 2025, the retrofit mostly done to enhance sensors and CMS. However not enable them to become mother ship for USV.

This is actually incorrect. The Tripartite/Alkmaarklasse minehunters were from the beginning equipped with the PAP (Poisson Autopropulsé) USV.
