Dual Use Technology in the Indonesian Defense Industry

Abstract

Indonesia needs to build and develop capabilities and resilience in facing every threat including threats that arise due to the disruption of dual use of technology. Dual Use Technology refers to technology that has dual functions-it can be applied to both civilian and military needs. The relevance of Dual Use Technology is increasing because the development of modern technology allows for synergy between the defense and civilian sectors in creating efficient, innovative solutions. The characteristics of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 include artificial intelligence technology, big data, machine learning, automated systems, and robot technology. This research uses a qualitative research approach where qualitative research as a scientific method is often used and carried out by a group of researchers in the field of social sciences. Creswell's framework for qualitative research provides a structured approach to conducting secondary data analysis. The Industrial Revolution 4.0 technology also encourages the integration of technology into a series of innovative new weapons systems, such as electromagnetic weapons, directed energy weapons, high-speed projectiles, hypersonic missiles, and secret technology weapons used during war.
