Naval Group press release
A new step in the strategic partnership with Indonesia
In accordance with the Defence Cooperation Agreement signed between the governments of France and Indonesia in August 2021, the Indonesian authorities have chosen Naval Group and PT PAL for their submarine program. The two companies had joined forces through a Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA) signed in February 2022.
The contract includes the delivery of two Scorpène® Evolved Full LiB submarines that will be built in Indonesia within PT PAL shipyard, thanks to a proven transfer of know-how and technology from Naval Group, and reusing 100% of PT PAL assets.
“Naval Group is very honoured to be part of this new chapter in the strategic alliance between Indonesia and France. With Scorpène Evolved Full LiB, Indonesia has chosen a high-performant, sea-proven submarine that will strengthen the country’s maritime sovereignty and support the Indonesian Navy in achieving regional superiority at sea. In addition to the submarines, our strategic partnership with PT PAL will also support the Indonesian defence industry to actively prepare the future of naval warfare in the country. We are pleased to welcome the Indonesian Navy in the Scorpène® family.”
Pierre Éric Pommellet, Chairman and CEO of Naval Group
Dr. Kaharuddin Djenod, President Director of PT PAL said: “This step is a high commitment and trust of the Indonesian government in the capability of local engineers to advancing defence technology, especially submarine technology. The government’s commitment in realizing the independence of the defence industry is also supported by the provision of Government Capital (PMN) to fully support the whole local production of submarine at PT PAL. In the future, Indonesia is expected to be able to master submarine technology.”
Strengthening the Indonesian naval and defence industry
Naval Group and PT PAL have a firm intention of pursuing cooperation not only regarding submarines but also about building Indonesian sovereignty to the benefit of the Indonesian defence industry.
Thanks to an extensive transfer of know-how and the development of Indonesian industrial-specific skills, the management, operation and maintenance of the force will be conducted in Indonesia, by Indonesian actors, ensuring both the autonomy of the country and the creation of thousands of long-term high-skill jobs. To this day, Naval Group and PT PAL have already signed various cooperation agreements with Indonesian partners, for the submarine program and beyond.
Scorpène Evolved, a high-performant attack submarine equipped with a cutting-edge energy system
Scorpène is a modern, high-performant, and stealthy submarine. Robust and enduring, it’s an oceangoing submarine also designed for shallow waters operations. Multipurpose, it fulfils the entire scope of missions such as anti-surface and anti-submarine warfare, special operations, and intelligence gathering. Extremely stealthy and fast, it has a level of operating automation that allows a limited number of crew, which reduces its operating costs significantly. Its combat edge is highlighted by the fact that it has 6 weapon launching tubes, 18 weapons (torpedoes, missiles).
Scorpène is equipped with the latest generation of combat system, SUBTICS, which addresses the growing challenges of modern submarines missions in blue and shallow waters in the entire domain of submarine warfare.
The Indonesian Scorpène submarines will be fitted with a cutting-edge energy system based on a full lithium-ion configuration which encompasses the highest security and safety standards and allows a higher range of useful energy, a better indiscretion rate and a reduced charging time. Thanks to this technology, high speed is available no matter the state of charge, increasing the submarine tactical mobility.
In addition to these two Indonesian Scorpène submarines, 14 other units designed and adapted by Naval Group for the export market are in operational service or under construction around the world: 2 for the Chilean Navy, 2 for the Malaysian Navy, 4 for the Brazilian Navy and 6 for the Indian Navy.
These successes demonstrate both Naval Group’s ability to supply best-in-class submarines and to transfer technology successfully.
The final configuration of the submarine is adapted to meet the specific needs of navies and incorporate the latest innovations.
Scorpène Evolved main characteristics:
• Surfaced displacement: 1,600 – 2,000 tons
• Length, overall: 72 m

Indonesia Cuts Steel For Second Red White Frigate
Indonesian state-owned shipbuilder PT PAL Indonesia marked another significant milestone on June 5 with the first steel-cutting ceremony for the second Red White-class frigate at its shipyard in Surabaya City, East Java. This event signifies the commencement of the physical construction phase for the new vessel, which is based on Babcock's Arrowhead 140 design.
Fauzan Malufti 08 Jun 2024
The Red White frigates are part of Indonesia’s ongoing efforts to modernise its navy (TNI AL) as well as enhance the capabilities of its domestic defence industry so that it could build larger and more complex surface combatants. The steel-cutting ceremony was attended by key stakeholders, particularly those from the Indonesian Ministry of Defence and TNI AL.
According to PT PAL, the Red White Frigates will see a substantial increase in the number of combat systems and weapon platforms compared to the original Arrowhead 140 design offered to TNI AL. In addition, the shipbuilder stated that it would be responsible also for conducting harbour and sea acceptance tests of the frigate.
Naval News understands that the selection of weapon systems and other critical components, driven by technical and non-technical considerations from the Ministry of Defence and/or Navy, has necessitated adjustments to the frigate’s design. The frigate is projected to use a considerable amount of Turkish-made systems.
In a press release published by TNI AL, it is stated that as of May, 2024, the construction progress of this second frigate (construction number W000305) has reached 33.5%, surpassing the original plan of 24.8%.
Both the Ministry of Defence and Navy stated that the Red White frigate will have a length of 140 metres, a width of 19.75 meters, and a full load displacement of 6,626 tonnes. The maximum speed is 28 knots, while the maximum operating range is 9,000 nautical miles. Furthermore, the frigate is designed to be crewed by 143 people and has an operational endurance of 21 days.
The first Red White-class frigate has already seen significant progress since its initial construction phase. The first steel cutting for this vessel took place in November 2022, followed by the keel-laying ceremony in August 2023.
Naval News understands that based on the construction timeline presented to the Ministry of Defence earlier this year, the first frigate is slated for delivery in 2026 and the second in 2027.
