Regarding FMP
- So 1/2 year launch the platform, hope operate in 2028/2029
“Hopefully in the next 1-2 years we will launch the platform. "It is hoped that in 2028 or 2029, the two Red and White frigates will be ready to operate," said Defend ID Main Director Bobby Rasyidin when met in Senayan, Central Jakarta, Monday (1/7/2024) evening.
- Use Turkish CMS because it has ToT
Bobby said that the combat management system (CMS) or weapons system was imported from Turkiye.
"We adopted the combat system technology from Turkiye. Why Turkiye? "Because Turkiye wants to transfer technology," said Bobby.
- Not licensed, but rather a PAl design with Babcock's approval
Bobby said that PT PAL and British manufacturer Rosyth Royal Dockyard Ltd (Babcock) sat together to design the two frigates.
“We (Indonesia) don't buy licenses. "We created our own design," said Bobby.
Produksi dua kapal fregat Merah Putih untuk TNI AL diharapkan bisa selesai satu hingga dua tahun lagi.
