THE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY OF NAVY BASE AS A CARRIER IN THE ORDER OF IMPROVING THE STATE DEFENSE AT SEA

Abstract

Indonesia is the 7th largest country in the world with a very strategic location between the continents of Asia and the continents of Australia and the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. This condition provides an advantage as well as a vulnerability to the sovereignty of the Indonesian state. This has an impact on the task of the Indonesian Navy (TNI AL) in maintaining state sovereignty and enforcing the law in Indonesia's jurisdictional seas. In carrying out this task, the Indonesian Navy is experiencing obstacles because the vast field of work and potential threats to state sovereignty that exist today are not comparable to the conditions of the Main Weapon System Equipment (Alutsista) owned, so it is necessary to develop a Navy Base that can function as a carrier for strong national defense. Writing this article aims to determine the right strategy by analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the Indonesian Navy in the face of existing opportunities and threats. From this analysis, a strategy can be determined to develop the Indonesian Navy Base as an aircraft carrier. Of the four strategies produced, the best strategy to implement is to develop the Indonesian Navy Base as an aircraft carrier with the support of the central government and local governments as well as high-ranking of Indonesian armed force/Indonesian Navy officials to realize state defense policies and the mandate of the law to improve national defense to maintain national security, territory and sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia.
