THE MODEL FOR DETERMINING LOCATION OF NAVAL BASE USING AHP METHOD AND SET COVERING PROBLEM

Abstract

Indonesia is a nation that has a lot of island with most of its territory (2/3) is the sea and the rest of it (1/3) island that consist of many islands, this kind of geographical condition insist Indonesian Government control and guaranty its sea security following the United Nation Convention on the Law on the Sea (UNCLOS) 1982. Bear in mind that Indonesia is an archipelago state with 17.499 islands and 5,8 million km2 sea territory with the geographical situation as the cross-section between two continents and two ocean, bring trough vulnerability at sea for instance territory trespassing, sea exploitation, smuggling, piracy and sabotage. Indonesian Navy Base as one of SSAT component is a main supporting force in sea combat operation, especially for maintain WARSHIPS mobility. The Indonesian Navy's role as a place that develops deployment forces position will have an important meaning in safeguard Indonesian domestic sea security. Also, the Naval Base as a "Home Base" has a five criterion of function following the 5R, that is Rest, Refresh, Refuel, Repair and Replacement so that the Naval Base will provide a very significant role for the success of the support of the Navy's operations. In the tactics of the operation currently carried out as a policy of operating degree efficiency, the tactics of waiting are carried out with the Navy Base as an Indonesian Naval Warship waiting point. So that following the function and location of the position, the naval Homebase is a strategic component in carrying out the maintenance and care functions of materials and personnel and can give support for the speed of motion reaction of Indonesian Naval Warship acting elements to get to the position of events at sea. The choice of the Naval Base location is a decision-making process with many MCDM criteria (Multi-Criteria Decision Making). The complexity of variables and the dependency relationships between variables in the system, as well as the subjectivity of decision-makers can cause uncertainty. In this paper, a model using a combination of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) methods and Set Covering Problem methods will be made that can assist the process of determining the location of the Indonesian Naval Warship Base in carrying out its duties to secure the territorial sea of the Republic of Indonesia.
