Indonesia is considering to acquire a variant of Denmark’s -Iver Huitfeldt class frigate.  Indonesia runs frigate acquisition programme of USD720 million for two platforms.

A defence industry co-operation agreement between Denmark's Odense Maritime Technology, and the Indonesian Navy's Naval Design Centre has been recently signed.

The frigates are being acquired as part of the second phase of the Minimum Essential Force (MEF) modernisation blueprint. The country has a requirement for at least four more hulls in the longer term as part of wider MEF requirements. Indonesia acquired two SIGMA 10514 vessels from Damen that now serve as the Martadinata class as part of this programme.
