Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has transformed cyberspace into a strategic domain of national defense. The Indonesian National Army (TNI) faces increasingly complex cyber threats, including digital espionage, command system breaches, and cyber-propaganda attacks. This study aims to analyze the strengthening of the TNI Cyber Unit in facing cyber warfare through three main focuses: the role of the Cyber Unit, inter-service interoperability, and strategies for strengthening command and control systems. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method through literature study, in-depth interviews, and SWOT analysis. The results indicate that the TNI Cyber Unit plays a strategic role as the frontline of national digital defense through early detection, network protection, and active cyber operations. However, several challenges remain, including cyber human-resource capability gaps, communication system integration, and digital infrastructure modernization. Therefore, strengthening strategies must prioritize personnel capacity development, C4ISR integration, and full digitalization of the command system supported by artificial intelligence. The study concludes that strengthening the TNI Cyber Unit is essential to reinforce Indonesia’s defense strategy and ensure information superiority in the era of digital warfare.
