Abstract

As a maritime nation with vast sea territories, Indonesia faces significant challenges in
safeguarding its waters, particularly in strategic regions such as the Natuna Sea. This area is
vulnerable to various threats, including territorial violations, marine resource theft, and illegal
underwater activities. This study aims to formulate a concept for the utilization of Autonomous
Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) as an alternative solution to enhance underwater security systems
in the region. The method employed is Research and Development (R&D), adopting model
development steps and complemented by a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats
(SWOT) analysis to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of AUVs in the context of Indonesian
maritime defense. The research findings indicate that the main strength of AUVs lies in their
technological capability to effectively detect underwater threats. Although they have
weaknesses, such as high operational costs, dependency on imported components, and
limitations in battery endurance and sonar capabilities, these factors do not significantly hinder
AUV effectiveness. Major opportunities arise from global technological advancements, yet
challenges remain due to insufficient government policy support. The threats faced include the
risk of sabotage and extreme weather conditions. Therefore, the recommended strategies are to
maximize the use of technology, strengthen supporting regulations, and address logistical and
financial barriers to realize effective and sustainable AUV operations in the Natuna Sea.
