ASSESSMENT OF TECHNOLOGY COMPETITIVENESS ABILITIES IN INDONESIAN WAR SHIP IN ASIA Harun Bekti Ariyoko, I Nengah Putra, Okol Sri Suharyo Indonesian Naval Technology College, Bumimoro-Morokrembangan, Surabaya 60187, Indonesia ABSTRACT The assessment of technological competitiveness can be carried out at the level of a stage of transformation on a warship. With the dynamics of defence and security threats to the Indonesian state, both symmetrical and asymmetrical, warship technology must continue to improve combat capability and professionalism of human resources in accordance with technological developments towards the industrial revolution 4.0, in order to have a high level of competitiveness. The purpose of this study is to determine the strengths and weaknesses of warship performance through the assessment of technological capabilities. The research result, at the level of technological capability and the existing gap of fourth components, where the current level of capability on warships W has a gap of the technological development that is farthest away with countries Y and Z is the development of the level of technological capability on technical devices and followed by developments the level of technological capability in human resources (soldiers). The benefits of the research are expected to be used as material for consideration by planners and decision makers in integrating technological considerations into the planning of warship development in the modern era. Keywords: Technology Capability Assessment, Warship Technology, Techometrics 1. INTRODUCTION The progress of the military industry is usually marked by the extent of the capability and independence of its military technology. Technology capability in general can be interpreted as the ability of the warship industry to develop its own technology and to assimilate from various types of imported technology (Alkadri, Dodi, Muchdie, Siswanto, & Fathoni, 2001). Technology independence is the ability of the warship industry to implement and determine various programs, policies and operational industries, so that the dependence of technology on other parties can be reduced or minimized (Alkadri, Dodi, Muchdie, Siswanto, & Fathoni, 2001). In the era of the industrial revolution 4.0, the rapid pace of innovation and the rapid introduction of new technology, which means that the prediction of technology will change naval operations has always been a challenge in the modern era (Sadler, 2015). New technology impacts changes in the defence system and various fields of military and takes place quickly and continuously, and provides new and more effective military capabilities (James, 2013), and there have occure many changes in information and other function of technology (Putra, Hakim, Pramono, & Tolle, 2017). This shows that the availability of technology as a tool in realizing and multiplying the potential of operational capabilities of warships is increasingly widespread and becomes dominant in increasing combat capability and will have a transformational effect on naval operations (Kenny & et.al, 2015). New technological developments have the potential to change the environment in which the military operates and can change the balance of power, create new forms of insecurity, change censorship systems, weapons systems, command and control systems, organizations and information very quickly and change military doctrine and change the pattern of future warfare patterns becomes very dynamic (James, 2013) (Kenny & et.al, 2015). For this reason, technological transformation needs to be measured explicitly (Ramadhani, 2012), so that warships know their current capability position, then plan for improvements and enhancements that are felt technology through meeting technological needs. Hope in the future can anticipate all threats both symmetrical, asymmetrical to hybrid threats. PKR SIGMA 10514 type, KRI Raden Eddy Martadinata-331 (REM-331) was the first ship built at the domestic PT shipyard PT PAL Indonesia, in cooperation with the Dutch ship company Damen Schiede Naval Ship Building (DSNS), which became the fifth vessel applying SIGMA technology, and designed to carry out various missions, namely anti- ship warfare on water, anti-air attack warfare, anti- submarine warfare, and electronic warfare. Therefore, evaluation of technological competitiveness on PKR SIGMA 10514 ships is needed both in terms of internal and external. Therefore, the need for research and study on the extent of deficiencies related to military technology in the future can improve the quality and the professionalism of the crew, and has a level of competitiveness of warship technology in high combat capability in the Asian region.
