The Clurit class was built by PT Palindo Marine Shipyard, Tanjunguncang, Batam.

The Clurit is named after a curved blade weapon native to the Madurese people of East Java.

[1] The Clurit prioritizes the element of surprise, rapid strike, destroying multiple targets at once and avoidance.

[1] In May 2014 the Clurit and Kujang were fitted with a Chinese made six-barrelled NG-18 30mm CIWS and two of the new C-705 SSM, although Jane's states that they can each carry four such missiles.

[1] Indonesia hopes to licence-build the C-705, which is a derivative of the Chinese C-704 anti-shipping missile with a turbojet to extend the range to 120 kilometres (65 nmi).
