The Indonesian Navy will receive four ScanEagle UAVs in mid-2018, a source from the service told Jane’s on 23 February. 

The UAV system and its associated equipment and launchers are provided under a grant by the US government under a capacity building programme for Southeast Asian navies known as the Maritime Security Initiative (MSI) which seeks to improve maritime capabilities of partner countries. The ScanEagle UAV can be equipped with a range of payload types including electro-optical imagers, long-wave infrared sensors, and X-band radars.
