Indonesian SIGMA 10514 PKR launched
The first of two SIGMA 10514 Perusak Kawal Rudal (PKR) guided-missile frigates under construction for the Indonesian Navy has been launched by PT PAL’s Surabaya Shipyard.
The vessels are being built under a modular collaboration programme between PT PAL and Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding (DSNS) in Indonesia and the Netherlands. The project was initiated by the Indonesian Ministry of Defence in August 2010, with contract awarded to DSNS in December 2010.
The PKR vessels will be deployed for a range of anti-air warfare, anti-surface warfare, and anti-submarine warfare missions, and will also be capable of performing maritime security, search and rescue, patrol, and humanitarian support tasks.
The PKR has a length of 105.11m, a beam of 14.2m and a displacement of 2,365t. The vessel features a fully air-conditioned accommodation for up to 122 persons. The helicopter deck can host a medium sized helicopter hanger with a weight of max 10t. The vessel is also equipped with two rigid hull inflatable boats (RHIBs) for rescue and patrol operations. The frigate has a speed of 28 knots, and can sail up to 5,000nm at 14 knots. The endurance is at least 20 days at sea.
The vessel is equipped with 3-D surveillance radar with a range of 250km. It also carries a target indication radar with an electro optical fire control system. The sensor array also comprises a Friend or Foe Identification (IFF) system and a hull mounted sonar.
