Chess Dynamics has secured an additional contract valued at approximately £3 million with Indonesian state-owned defence and electronics company PT Len to supply fire control equipment for two Indonesian Navy light frigates.
The agreement covers the delivery of SeaEagle Fire Control Electro-Optical (FCEO) systems for the second and third Bung Tomo-class multi-role light frigates (MRLF). This latest award builds on an existing programme established between Chess Dynamics and PT Len, which commenced with an initial contract for the first Bung Tomo-class vessel in 2023, effectively completing the planned class-wide upgrade.
Originally entering service in the early 2000s, the Bung Tomo-class vessels are undergoing a comprehensive refurbishment programme aimed at extending their operational lifespan and preserving overall combat effectiveness. Under the modernisation initiative, the new SeaEagle FCEO systems will replace aging legacy electro-optical fire control hardware. The incoming systems are engineered to integrate directly with the frigates’ existing 76mm OTO Melara naval guns while interfacing with an upgraded Thales TACTICOS Combat Management System.
The contract reinforces Chess Dynamics’ operational footprint in Indonesia, where SeaEagle FCEO units are already in service aboard Indonesian Navy KCR-60 vessels following integration as part of combat systems delivered by Terma.
The agreement aligns with broader efforts to support naval requirements across Southeast Asia and the wider Asia-Pacific theatre. Chess Dynamics has contributed to regional naval programmes in Thailand and Malaysia for over 15 years, alongside an established Australian partnership with Owen International that provides domestic maintenance, repair, and upgrade capabilities for the SeaEagle family of systems.
