Abstract

The development of the maritime defense industry ecosystem is a strategic step in increasing national defense independence. This research aims to optimize the use of local resources in the maritime defense industry to reduce dependence on imports and increase the competitiveness of the domestic industry. The methods used include descriptive-qualitative analysis with a literature study approach, interviews with stakeholders, and case studies on the application of local technologies and materials in the maritime defense industry. The results of the study show that local resources, natural fiber-based composite materials, domestically produced high-strength steel, as well as experts in the field of maritime engineering, have great potential in supporting the defense industrial ecosystem. However, the challenges of limited technology, infrastructure and regulations have not fully supported it, so it is still an obstacle. In conclusion, the optimization of local resources can be carried out through synergy between the government, industry, and research institutions in technology development, human resource capacity building, and policies that support innovation and investment. The strategic implications of the research on defense policy are that the maritime defense industry based on local resources is a solution in maintaining national maritime sovereignty and security.

Abstract

The niche industry model in Indonesia's defense industry refers to the development and specialization strategies adopted by defense companies in the country. In response to global dynamics and national defense needs, this model emphasizes focusing on specific market segments or technologies to achieve competitive advantages. This study explains how the niche industry model can enhance the competitiveness of Indonesia's defense industry through specialization in the development, production, and marketing of products or services tailored to specific defense needs. The analysis of this niche industry model involves evaluating various aspects, including technological sustainability, price competitiveness, security, and the ability to meet specific military needs. In the context of Indonesia, where the defense budget is limited, this model creates opportunities for local companies to focus on specific areas such as non-traditional weapon systems, intelligence technology, or cyber security equipment. The success of the niche industry model in Indonesia's defense industry is also closely related to collaborative efforts between the government, industry, and research institutions. This synergy facilitates the exchange of information, resources, and policy support necessary to foster technological development and innovation within this framework. While the niche industry model offers potential competitive advantages, challenges such as developing high-quality human resources, policy changes, and risk management need to be addressed. This study provides an in-depth view of the niche industry model in the context of Indonesia's defense industry, highlighting the opportunities and challenges faced and providing recommendations to support the sustainability and growth of this sector.
