Abstract

Reliable and secure communication is a fundamental requirement for Medium-Altitude Long-Endurance (MALE) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) operations, where real-time data transmission must be maintained despite network instability. Internet-Protocol (IP)-based communication networks commonly used in UAV systems are susceptible to delay, jitter, and packet loss, which can degrade mission performance in surveillance and reconnaissance scenarios. This study investigates the capability of a Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) Virtual Private Network (VPN) to simultaneously enhance communication security and preserve network Quality of Service (QoS) for PUNA MALE UAV communications. A Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation environment implemented in GNS3 was developed to emulate realistic operational conditions. Network performance was evaluated using ICMP, TCP, and UDP protocols, with metrics including delay, jitter, and packet loss. Experimental results show that ICMP achieved an average jitter of 0.0879 ms with zero packet loss, while TCP demonstrated superior stability compared to UDP, which exhibited a packet loss rate of 1.9708%. The findings reveal that PPTP VPN deployment can maintain stable QoS performance while providing secure communication channels, indicating its feasibility as a lightweight security solution for UAV communication systems operating in controlled network environments. This work provides empirical evidence supporting the secure integration of VPNs for reliable MALE UAV data communication architectures.

Abstract

The news about the Indonesian National Army’s, or Tentara Nasional Indonesia (TNI), budget for internet buzzers has led to public disapproval. This disagreement shows how the public is still unfamiliar with the idea that Influence Operations and Information Warfare (IOIW) is now a thing in national security and defense strategy. This article aims to make sense of why TNI should consider the IOIW capability. With the library research method, this article introduces the conceptual and theoretical argument of Noopolitik and IOIW to the Indonesian policymakers and the general public. Noopolitik is a concept explaining the existence of the noosphere, a world "thinking circuit" and "realm of the mind" that politicians today, in the era of advanced information and communication technology, also consider. Thus, Noopolitik allows us to rationalize that a country nowadays should consider not only the geosphere for its national interest but also the noosphere which one country may hijack and influence through information dissemination. Thus, the noosphere is now a new emergent battlefield, and IOIW refers to the combat that takes place on it, with the goal of gaining influence using information as a weapon. With that idea, this article argues that it is reasonable for TNI to procure the capability for IOIW. The IOIW ability will allow TNI to protect the Indonesian Noosphere from the attacks of its potential adversaries, as they might want to influence Indonesian public opinion and action in a hostile outcome for the nation's harmony and stability. The general public have to grasp the theoretical framework of Noopolitik, which elucidates the contemporary relevance of IOIW. It will lead them to have necessary understanding why should they provide support to TNI for the procurement of additional power for IOIW capabilities when required. This article may function as an initial evaluation for politicians and the public to recognize TNI's augmentation of the IOIW force.

Abstract

The presence of NAMRU-2 in Indonesia has created pros and cons in the community. NAMRU-2, or Naval Medical Research Unit-2, is a United States military medical research unit that operates in various countries, including Indonesia—several pro and con arguments related to its presence in Indonesia in realizing cooperation security. This study aims to investigate NAMRU-2’s role in fostering cooperative health security in Indonesia and examine why the government chose not to renew its cooperation between NAMRU-2 and Indonesia. This study used a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach. The data obtained in this study were obtained from literature studies and interviews. Then, the data validity process is carried out using data triangulation so that the data obtained can provide strong support for the research. The results show that NAMRU-2 in Indonesia does its job well in carrying out the mission of Military Operations Other than War in medical operations. NAMRU-2 successfully dealt with health threats in Indonesia. However, the cooperation of NAMRU-2 in Indonesia failed to realize the security of cooperation. With NAMRU-2 in Indonesia, there is still tension and a lack of trust in the United States government. In addition, the presence of NAMRU-2 made the Indonesian people feel unsafe. After the end of NAMRU-2 in Indonesia, Indonesia has not been independent regarding health security. In this regard, it can be concluded that the existence of NAMRU-2 in Indonesia cannot realize cooperative security because there are still tensions between Indonesia and the United States and the lack of trust of the Indonesian people in the United States. This is not in accordance with the definition of cooperative security.

Abstract

The dynamics of China and the United States rivalry have significantly affected many countries, with both seeking to align other states with them. Both the United States and China seek to increase their influence amid geopolitical competition, including military cooperation with Indonesia. Following the question of how these two relationships have developed over time, we present a quantitative analysis of the evolution, trend, and variations of international military cooperation with both China and the United States. With that in mind, this study developed an original index, the International Military Cooperation Intensity (IMCI) Index, aimed at measuring military cooperation between Indonesia and the two countries from 1995 to 2014 within arms transfer and bilateral joint military exercises area. The findings from the IMCI Index show that while Indonesia has increasingly strengthened its military cooperation with the United States, it has simultaneously strengthened its relationship with China. While our findings verify the assumption that United States remains Indonesia’s stronger partner, the results confirm Indonesia’s  increasing military cooperation with China during this period. This result increases our understanding of Indonesia's evolving military cooperation with both countries during this period using these two quantitative indicators. In addition, the methodological approach used in this study illustrated the usefulness of constructing an index that can serve to show the trends, evolution, and variation in examining international relations events such as international military cooperation.

Abstract

As a prominent maritime power in the Global South, Indonesia holds strategic potential to shape global maritime governance. Through the Global Maritime Axis (GMA) launched in 2014, Indonesia reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding maritime stability. However, the existing GMA framework remains overly centered on traditional threats such as sovereignty protection and military defense, overlooking the growing impact of non-traditional challenges—particularly those related to climate change. To enhance its maritime resilience, Indonesia’s maritime security framework must evolve to incorporate the climate-security nexus. This study employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach to explore the interrelationship between maritime security and climate justice, drawing from nationally and internationally indexed literature. Findings underscore that the ocean's role in regulating the global climate necessitates inclusive, collaborative governance that transcends traditional boundaries. Climate justice, as a normative framework, demands the recognition of shared but differentiated responsibilities, especially for vulnerable maritime nations like Indonesia. Within the context of the Archipelagic and Island States (AIS) Forum, Indonesia has emerged as both an initiator and host, advancing principles of ocean collaboration, innovation, and sustainability. By reconceptualizing maritime security to include environmental protection, equitable resource governance, and marine biodiversity conservation, Indonesia can lead a transformative approach to climate justice. This repositioning enables Indonesia to protect its ecological and geopolitical interests while serving as a model for other developing maritime states. Ultimately, fostering climate resilience through maritime cooperation enhances regional stability and contributes meaningfully to global climate goals.

Abstract

The Israel–Palestine conflict experienced a dramatic escalation following Hamas’s launch of the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation. The conflict triggered broader regional involvement through Iran’s network of allied forces known as the Axis of Resistance. This study analyzes Iran’s surrogate warfare strategy against Israel during the Palestine–Israel conflict from October 2023 to June 2025, focusing on how Iran externalizes the burden of war through proxy forces and technological means. A single-case study design with a qualitative approach was employed. Secondary data include statements from Iranian officials and Axis of Resistance actors obtained through official media channels, reports from think tanks, and international media coverage. Document analysis, content observation, and qualitative content analysis were conducted following Yin, (2018) framework. The study identifies four key dimensions of Iran’s surrogate warfare strategy: (1) delegation and outsourcing to non-state actors, including Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthi forces, and Iraqi resistance groups; (2) political efficiency achieved through plausible deniability while maintaining strategic influence; (3) multi-level contestation across military, diplomatic, and technological domains; and (4) a strategic shift from indirect confrontation toward a highly limited direct confrontation during the 12-day war in June 2025. Surrogate warfare enabled Iran to project power without direct involvement in the early stages; however, challenges of control and strategic blowback eventually forced limited direct military confrontation with Israel. Iran’s surrogate warfare represents an adaptive response to conventional military asymmetry but faces inherent limitations in controlling autonomous proxy actors and preventing unintended escalation. The transition to direct warfare in June 2025 indicates that surrogate strategies alone cannot address existential security threats, potentially reshaping the dynamics of regional conflict and the future applicability of indirect warfare doctrines.

Abstract

Aviation dentistry is a specialized field that addresses oral and maxillofacial health in environments subject to significant changes in atmospheric pressure, particularly during flight. Barodontalgia, a form of dental pain triggered by such pressure fluctuations, can adversely affect pilots' performance, potentially impairing mission success. This narrative review critically assesses the necessity of preflight dental evaluations for military fighter pilots as a preventive measure against barodontalgia-related in-flight complications. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for studies published between 2020 and 2025. A total of 55 records were identified, and 23 studies were included in the final qualitative analysis. Findings indicate that barodontalgia is often precipitated by pre-existing dental conditions, such as untreated caries, pulpitis, and unstable restorations, which become exacerbated under high-altitude pressure changes. Fighter aircraft commonly operate at altitudes between 45,000 and 51,000 feet, with rapid pressure fluctuations that can significantly worsen dental symptoms. Despite the recognition of barodontalgia’s operational impact, preflight dental assessments are not routinely integrated into current aeromedical protocols. The review recommends formalizing a Dental Requirements Document as part of military preflight checks, including comprehensive dental health evaluations and history assessments. Such a protocol could mitigate the risk of dental emergencies during flights and enhance operational safety by ensuring dental readiness before missions.
