The procurement of this ship aims to strengthen the Indonesian Navy's arsenal and provide a deterrent effect on any party who intends to disrupt Indonesia's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The Transfer of Technology (ToT) scheme was applied during the construction of this ship to PT PAL Indonesia.

[14] KRI Raden Eddy Martadinata (331), lead ship of her class, was commissioned on 7 April 2017 at Tanjung Priok.

On 2 November 2017, it was reported that there was still work that needed to be completed in both Indonesia and the Netherlands before the ship will be ready for service.

Instead, DSNS established a branch at Damen Song Cam Shipyard in Haiphong, Vietnam, which led to Indonesia's dissatisfaction and the decision to halt the program.
