ADVENT and FLEETSTAR Begin Service with the Indonesian Navy

HAVELSAN has achieved a new milestone in Southeast Asia with the successful delivery and integration of its indigenously developed Combat Management System, ADVENT, and the FLEETSTAR Ship Data Distribution System aboard the Indonesian Navy’s KRI BELATI-622 fast attack craft.

This achievement marks a major step for Türkiye’s naval technologies in the Asia-Pacific region and further strengthens HAVELSAN’s position as a trusted partner in global defense cooperation.

Enhanced Digital Capabilities at Sea
The integration of ADVENT and FLEETSTAR on the KCR-60 class vessel, built by PT TESCO Indomaritim, demonstrates HAVELSAN’s engineering excellence and advanced system interoperability.

During the extensive sea trials and live-fire tests, both systems performed exceptionally, successfully completing all phases of operational validation. HAVELSAN engineers provided on-site support throughout the testing process, ensuring smooth system performance and full compatibility with the ship’s command and control infrastructure.

Representatives from the Indonesian Ministry of Defense, the SATGAS test team, and PT TESCO Indomaritim praised the systems’ technological sophistication and robust digital design, emphasizing their contribution to Indonesia’s naval modernization goals.

ADVENT and FLEETSTAR: The Core of Next-Generation Naval Platforms
ADVENT serves as the digital brain of modern fleets, enabling network-centric warfare by integrating sensors, weapons, communication, and decision-support systems into a single tactical environment.

The FLEETSTAR Platform Data Distribution System acts as the digital backbone, collecting and securely sharing critical data across ship subsystems. Together, ADVENT and FLEETSTAR provide naval operators with a highly resilient, cyber-secure, and data-driven operational framework that improves situational awareness, decision-making speed, and mission effectiveness.

Strengthening Strategic Cooperation
HAVELSAN CEO Dr. Mehmet Akif Nacar highlighted the significance of this collaboration with Indonesia, noting that the success of the ADVENT and FLEETSTAR integration underscores HAVELSAN’s expanding international footprint:

“This achievement reflects not only the technological excellence of HAVELSAN but also the strong strategic partnership we are building with Indonesia. The successful integration of ADVENT and FLEETSTAR demonstrates Türkiye’s capability to deliver advanced, network-centric naval systems on a global scale.”

Dr. Nacar also emphasized HAVELSAN’s intent to broaden its cooperation with the Indonesian Navy through upcoming naval programs, including OPV-90, Merah Putih, and additional KCR-60 / KCR-70 class vessels.
