Babcock has taken another step forward in the UK-Indonesia Maritime Partnership Programme with a new work order tied to the Arrowhead 140 frigate design. Indonesia plans to build up to four Merah Putih-class frigates domestically, following the successful launch of the lead ship in late 2025. The design supports a wide range of naval missions and reflects growing defense industrial collaboration between London and Jakarta. The partnership emphasizes technology transfer, local construction, and long-term fleet development for the Indonesian Navy.
