Abstract

National defence industry self-reliance has become a strategic imperative for states globally, particularly in an international system characterized by anarchy and self-help dynamics. Within this context, the state emerges as the central actor in safeguarding its sovereignty, and the pursuit of defence industry autonomy represents a key survival strategy. This study analyzes Indonesia’s defence industry policy through the theoretical lenses of realism, the developmental state, and the triple helix framework, drawing comparative insights from India, a country widely regarded as more advanced in this sector. Both Indonesia and India are major emerging powers in the Global South with shared ambitions for defence self-reliance, yet they demonstrate divergent trajectories in institutional capacity and policy outcomes, making them suitable for comparative analysis. Employing a qualitative case study design, the research utilizes secondary data from official documents, academic literature, research institute reports, and credible media sources. The findings indicate that while Indonesia benefits from a solid legal foundation (notably Law No. 16/2012) and political commitment, its defence industrial development is hindered by limited fiscal allocations, the dominance of state-owned enterprises, underdeveloped industrial research capabilities, and weak synergy within the triple helix model. Conversely, India has advanced its defence sector through strategic initiatives such as Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat, underpinned by fiscal incentives, deregulation, increased private sector engagement, enhanced research through the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), and a well-integrated triple helix innovation ecosystem. These comparative insights underscore the need for Indonesia to reform its policy paradigm by strengthening its industrial roadmap, fostering private sector participation, enhancing government–industry–academia collaboration, and pursuing export-oriented and technology transfer strategies. Theoretically, the study contributes to the growing literature on defence industry development in emerging states; practically, it offers policy recommendations aimed at improving Indonesia’s defence industrial ecosystem, enhancing global competitiveness, and reducing import dependency through innovation-led self-reliance.

Abstract

Southeast Asia ranks among the most disaster-prone regions globally, owing to its complex geological features and tropical climate. In response, ASEAN established the ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response (AADMER), the region’s first legally binding framework for disaster management. Despite its significance, AADMER's implementation faces structural limitations, including the principle of non-interference, disparities in member state capacities, and bureaucratic delays that hinder rapid mobilization during the critical "golden time" of disaster response. This study examines Indonesia’s defense diplomacy in reinforcing AADMER as a regulatory basis for developing a regional First Responder mechanism that is timely, coordinated, and effective. Adopting a descriptive qualitative methodology, the research analyzes Indonesia’s engagement through platforms such as the ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting (ADMM) and ADMM-Plus, alongside the roles of key national institutions including the National Disaster Management Authority (BNPB), the Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI), the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and cooperation with the ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance (AHA Centre). The findings highlight Indonesia’s strategic role as a country frequently affected by disasters in advancing civil-military interoperability, joint disaster response exercises, and rapid deployment mechanisms under AADMER. Indonesia’s defense diplomacy emerges not only as a tool of traditional security but also as a form of soft power that enhances regional solidarity and institutional legitimacy. The study concludes that Indonesia’s leadership is pivotal in realizing the vision of One ASEAN, One Response through the establishment of a regulation-based, consensus-driven, and collectively operational First Responder system for the region.

Abstract

This study examines border security operational effectiveness beyond technological determinism by emphasizing its social production through personnel capability and power system reliability. Challenging policy and technical discourses that privilege infrastructure as the primary driver of performance, the study conceptualizes effectiveness as a socio-technical outcome shaped by the interaction of technology, human skills, and organizational conditions in geographically isolated regions. Using a quantitative explanatory design, data were collected from 185 personnel of outer island security task forces under Kodam XV/Pattimura. Hybrid satellite communication utilization, personnel capability, power system reliability, and communication–electronic effectiveness were measured through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings show that personnel capability exerts a strong and significant positive effect on operational effectiveness, whereas communication technology and power reliability display no significant direct effects when considered independently. However, their simultaneous interaction generates a substantial synergistic effect, explaining over 80% of the variance in effectiveness. These results indicate that infrastructure and energy systems function primarily as enabling conditions, while performance emerges from the capacity of personnel to translate technological potential into coordinated organizational action. The study contributes to socio-technical systems theory, extends organizational sociology to security institutions, and provides rare empirical evidence from peripheral state contexts in the Global South.

Abstract

Indonesia’s participation in the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) demonstrates its strong commitment to international peacekeeping while functioning as a key instrument of defense diplomacy. Nevertheless, an evolving security environment and the requirements of implementing the United Nations Peacekeeping Operations (UN PKO) New Model demand a high degree of operational preparedness from the Garuda Contingent. This study seeks to examine the operational readiness of Satgas Garuda, evaluate the application of UN PKO New Model principles, and analyze their strategic implications for Indonesia’s defense diplomacy. A qualitative descriptive approach is employed, utilizing in-depth interviews, document review, and a SWOT analysis supported by IFAS–EFAS matrices. The results indicate that Satgas Garuda’s operational readiness is classified as high, driven by professionalism, discipline, and well-structured pre-deployment training, although challenges persist in logistical support and communication interoperability. The UN PKO New Model has been effectively implemented through CIMIC initiatives, compliance with international legal frameworks, and adaptive engagement with local contexts. From a strategic perspective, the achievements of Satgas Garuda contribute to enhancing Indonesia’s global standing and reinforcing its role in international defense diplomacy

Abstract

The development of increasingly complex global and regional threat dynamics, including the potential for asymmetric conflict and disruption to national sovereignty, demands increased readiness of the Indonesian Army's air units, especially Puspenerbad. The Bayraktar UCAV, as part of a modern weapons system, is an important strategy in facing these challenges. This research analyzes the technological readiness and integration of the Bayraktar TB2 system in supporting the strategic role of Puspenerbad, where the level of technological readiness of the Bayraktar TB2 faces the challenges of adapting to Indonesia's tropical conditions, and integration with the TNI AD's C4ISR architecture is hampered by data protocol incompatibility between the Bayraktar system and the TNI's legacy platform, requiring AI-based middleware for real-time interoperability. The aim of the research is to identify problems that affect Bayraktar's effectiveness in supporting Puspenerbad's main tasks and to provide recommendations for increasing Bayraktar's readiness in air defense operations. The research method is qualitative with case studies and literature studies. The results show that factors such as personnel mastery of Bayraktar technology, readiness of supporting logistics, and integration in military operations are crucial elements that influence the success of Bayraktar implementation. Budget limitations, lack of technical training, and lack of maintenance facilities are the main obstacles that must be overcome. Recommendations are directed at strengthening HR training policies, modernizing defense equipment, and increasing synergy between operational units and defense research institutions. Optimizing UCAV readiness is not only a technical matter but also a long-term strategy in maintaining sovereignty and strengthening the Indonesian Army's air defense posture in the modern era.
