Abstract

In the era of globalization and increasingly rapid technological development, mastery of high technology is one of the main keys in maintaining the sovereignty and security of a country. Indonesia, as a country with a large territory and significant strategic interests, needs to strengthen its technological capabilities, especially in the field of defense. Advanced defense technology not only functions as the main tool in maintaining national security, but also as a support in overcoming various increasingly complex threats and challenges. Indonesia has set a long-term vision of "Indonesia Maju 2045" and has identified ten main technologies (10TU) that have great potential to accelerate Indonesia Maju 2045. The system thinking approach allows us to understand the relationship and interaction between various components in the defense technology system. Thus, key factors that influence each other in mastering the technology can be identified. Meanwhile, SWOT analysis helps identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats faced in the development of defense technology in Indonesia. To strengthen the ability to master national defense technology, Indonesia must adopt a comprehensive and sustainable approach. One of the initial steps is to improve the quality of education and training in the field of defense technology. The government needs to strengthen policies that support technology transfer and international cooperation. By implementing this comprehensive and sustainable strategy, Indonesia will be better prepared to face future challenges and threats, and will be able to effectively defend national sovereignty and security.
