How well the CIWS performs on Clurit and Kujang, the AK-630 may be mounted on the rest of the TNI-AL's KCR-40-class missile craft 
KCR 40 (Silep-04)
The Indonesian Navy (Tentera Nasional Indonesia - Angkatan Laut) has equipped two of its KCR-40-class anti-ship missile craft with AK-630 close in weapon systems (CIWS).
KRI Clurit and KRI Kujang have each been mounted with the six-barrelled, water-cooled system that can fire between 1,500 to 5,000 rds/min. The weapons complement a Vektor 20 mm and two 12.7 mm machine guns on each of the vessels.
A spokesperson from state-owned shipbuilder PT Palindo Marine Industry (PT PAL) told IHS Jane's that the CIWS are currently being integrated with the vessels' search radars and will undergo further testing before being certified as fully operational. The systems will specifically be tested in their ability to detect and lock onto simulated attacks by aircraft, small boats and projectiles such as sea-skimming missiles.
Depending on TNI-AL's assessment of how well the CIWS performs on Clurit and Kujang, the AK-630 may be mounted on the rest of the TNI-AL's KCR-40-class missile craft. IHS Jane's reported in January 2012 that the TNI-AL is expected to receive a total of nine KCR-40 ships from PT PAL by 2014.
The 250-tonne ships are powered by three MAN V12 engines and feature hulls built of aluminium and high-tensile steel. The KCR-40 class can reach a top speed of 30 kt.
The company told IHS Jane's that besides the CIWS, Clurit and Kujang were also recently fitted with two transversely mounted launchers for the C-705 anti-ship missiles jointly produced by PT Pindad and China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation. No details were given on when the weapons would be operational.
