R.E. Martadinata (SIGMA 10514)

The R.E. Martadinata class is a SIGMA 10514 design frigate, built for the Indonesian Navy. It is a multi-mission vessel capable of anti-air, anti-surface, and anti-submarine warfare operations.

Developed under a technology transfer agreement between Dutch shipbuilder Damen and Indonesia's PT PAL, the vessel was conceived to modernize the Indonesian Navy's fleet and enhance domestic defense manufacturing capabilities. The lead ship of the class, KRI Raden Eddy Martadinata (331), was formally commissioned into active service in April 2017. Since entering service, the frigate has regularly participated in major international maritime exercises, such as Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC), and conducted critical patrol missions to secure Indonesia's maritime borders. Today, the vessel remains active as a frontline combatant, representing a successful milestone in Indonesia's pursuit of naval self-reliance.
