PEMANFAATAN RADIO TACTICAL PERSON HEADSET GUNA MENUNJANG LATIHAN PRAKTEK KARKATA YUDHA TARUNA KORPS MARINIR

Abstract

The development of military communication technology requires effective, secure, and adaptable communication systems suitable for training and operational environments. During the implementation of Karkata Yudha Practical Training, Marine Corps cadets still experience various communication constraints due to the limitations of conventional communication devices that do not support hands-free operation, noise resistance, and communication confidentiality. This study aims to analyze the utilization of Tactical Radio Person Headsets as a communication support tool to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of Karkata Yudha practical training for Marine Corps cadets.

This research employed a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach. Data were collected through direct observation of training activities, in-depth interviews with communication experts from the Marine Corps, and documentation studies. Data analysis was conducted using SWOT analysis to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats related to the implementation of Tactical Radio Person Headsets.

The results indicate that the utilization of Tactical Radio Person Headsets significantly improves tactical communication quality, accelerates coordination among units, and supports maneuver execution and decision-making in the field. The challenges identified include limited equipment availability, procurement costs, and the need for technical training for users. Overall, Tactical Radio Person Headsets demonstrate strong potential to be integrated into Marine Corps cadet training systems to enhance operational readiness and professionalism in the future.
