As informed, the package will include an “innovative propulsion system” that combines twin controllable pitch propeller (CPP) Promas systems for high efficiency at patrol speeds with a single Kamewa waterjet to provide boost power for high-speed operation.

This configuration is expected to optimize propulsion power, speed, and maneuverability to ensure performance and efficiency for these new craft, according to Kongsberg.

Furthermore, the vessels will have combined diesel and gas turbine (CODAG) propulsion. This comprises twin diesel engines and a centrally positioned, 23-megawatt gas turbine to directly drive the 160-centimeter diameter waterjet, which is capable of discharging more than 30 cubic meters of water per second, Kongsberg noted.

The use of twin Promas CPP for main propulsion at speeds over 40 knots when the waterjet is used for boost power, is an innovative approach, the firm added.

Kongsberg Maritime carried out extensive hydrodynamic analysis to integrate the hull form and two different types of propulsor into one system that offers enhanced maneuverability, speed, and efficiency.

The KCR-70, currently under contract at Turkish Sefine Shipyard, is based on the firm’s FACM-70 design. The 70-meter fast attack craft is designed for a variety of missions, including intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations, anti-surface warfare, and anti-air warfare.

Defense Minister targets 2 Red and White Frigates to operate before the end of 2025

However, Defense Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin after visiting PT PAL Indonesia in Surabaya stated that the construction process, including materials, technology, and "SEWACO" or the sophistication of its weapons system, has made significant progress.

"I hope the Red and White Frigate can be launched faster than the specified target. This means that the launch is ready to operate the platform, communication equipment, and all its weapons. I see that the effort is already there. I will just follow the developments from time to time," he said.

Operate in what context? To Operate like surgery? lmao. but if we expect to Operate in the end of the year, even we hire so many engineer and workers to make this happen, they still needs time to do sea trial. it usually takes time to test the electronical, mechanical and every seal that sealed a ship. last time i'm discuss with our friend from italy, their trieste having a seal problem in their ships propeler that makes an adjacent room flooding in the sea trial. and takes time to build another seal that can wishstands more pressure for it.

then if we operate this ship without sea trial to test everything in the ships systems. well, good luck! (and have fun)

Golden rule of engineering: If you happen to see more unnecessary and detailed statistics with digits going to the 3rd, when they are given in percentages, it means someone is messing something up badly.

Man, what is %64.852, how one even measures that? 'yo wait that block is half way through transport, %64.853'
