Indonesia's 1945 Constitution mandates national defense participation, with TNI-AL as the main force supported by civil society. As a maritime axis, Indonesia must strengthen maritime security and cooperation in Southeast Asia, empowering coastal and island communities as defense partners.
A comprehensive defense strategy—modernizing weaponry, enhancing human resources, and leveraging technology—is crucial amid global security challenges like the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Threats such as illegal fishing, drug trafficking, and maritime terrorism require Navy-civilian collaboration for effective surveillance and operations.
Strengthening maritime defense industries and infrastructure is key to securing sovereignty. With commitment and cooperation, Indonesia can restore its maritime strength. Constructive feedback is welcomed for improving the Indonesian Maritime Journal.
