Abstract

The current condition of Indonesia's defense capabilities is a topic of great importance, considering the evolving geopolitical landscape and the increasing need for a strong defense force in the region.

This research aims to examine the rationale behind the establishment of the Indonesian Space Armed Forces as a crucial component of Indonesia's defense policy roadmap towards a golden future by 2045.

This qualitative research will employ a secondary data analysis method. It will draw upon various sources, including government reports, academic papers, and expert opinions, to gather the necessary information for analysis. The research findings will shed light on the current condition of Indonesia's defense capabilities, highlighting strengths and areas that require improvement.

The study will delve into the rational reasons for establishing the Indonesian Space Armed Forces, emphasizing the growing importance of space technology in defense and the need to safeguard Indonesia's interests and sovereignty in space. Furthermore, it will explore the key components of a defense policy roadmap, including advanced defense systems, a robust military-industrial complex, and enhanced regional cooperation.

The research will also assess the implementation of the defense policy roadmap and the challenges hindering its progress. It will examine issues such as budget constraints, technology transfer, human resource development, and strategic partnerships.

In conclusion, this research explores Indonesia's defense capabilities, the establishment of the Indonesian Space Armed Forces, and the challenges faced in implementing a comprehensive defense strategy for a secure future.
