Abstract

The advent of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations, epitomized by SpaceX's Starlink, has fundamentally disrupted the global telecommunications architecture. While offering critical connectivity solutions for archipelagic nations like Indonesia, this technology simultaneously introduces profound asymmetric threats to national security. This study aims to analyze the anatomy of these threats, evaluate their multidimensional impacts, and formulate a comprehensive intelligence strategy to mitigate the hegemony of Starlink's technology. Adopting a post-positivist paradigm, this research utilizes a qualitative descriptive method integrated with the Intelligence Analysis Cycle. The findings indicate that the threat level of Starlink is 'Critical' based on Hank Prunckun's threat matrix (T = I x C), driven predominantly by uncontrolled technical capabilities rather than malicious intent. Starlink is identified as bypassing national gateways, creating "strategic blindness" for intelligence apparatuses, and acting as a force multiplier for separatist groups via anti-jamming communication capabilities. Economically, its dominance threatens to de-industrialize local telecommunications infrastructure through predatory pricing. The study recommends a mitigation strategy based on Arthur F. Lykke Jr.’s model, advocating for "Market Power Diplomacy," the establishment of independent Space Situational Awareness (SSA), and the implementation of a hardware ban as an ultimum remedium.
