Chess Dynamics secures sensor contract for Indonesian frigates

Chess Dynamics has secured an approximately £3 million contract from Indonesia's PT Len to supply SeaEagle electro-optical fire-control systems for two Bung Tomo-class frigates. The equipment will replace legacy sensors and integrate with the ships' 76 mm OTO Melara guns and upgraded Thales TACTICOS combat-management systems. Announced on October 28, the order follows an initial 2023 contract for the first ship and extends the planned upgrade across the entire three-vessel class. The work forms part of the Indonesian Navy's refurbishment of these light frigates, improving gun-control equipment while retaining the existing warships.
