“…One such means of vertical observation is drone technology. Drones have attracted much critical attention for their role in reshaping geographies of surveillance and warfare (Gregory, 2018; Kindervater, 2017) and their place in processes of atmospheric enclosure (Lockhart et al, 2021). Like Lockhart et al, (Garrett and Anderson, 2018) nonetheless draw our attention towards the fundamental ambiguities of drones in geography – they are capable of both ‘good’ and ‘bad’, and should offer geographers – both human and physical – not just targets of critique but also new means of knowledge production.…”

Pengamanan wilayah teritorial Indonesia membutuhkan terobosan dalam hal strategi pengamanan wilayah. Hal tersebut disebabkan adanya keterbatasan sumber daya yang dimiliki pemerintah dibandingkan dengan luas wilayah yang menjadi tanggung jawabnya. Kemajuan iptek dalam penggunaan Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) telah memberikan terobosan sebagai solusi dalam strategi pengamanan wilayah secara lebih efektif dan efisien tanpa mengurangi kualitas pengamanan wilayah. TNI AU melalui Skuadron Udara 51 UAV, sebagai Skuadron Udara yang bertumpu pada penggunaan UAV, telah membuktikan bahwa penggunaan UAV mampu memberi kontribusi nyata pada strategi pengamanan wilayah. Ini dibuktikan dengan keterlibatan Skuadron Udara 51 UAV pada beberapa operasi yang memberikan hasil optimal dalam hal surveillance terhadap sasaraan/objek yang dituju. Dengan mengacu pada keunggulan yang dimiliki oleh Skuadron Udara 51 UAV, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa peran UAV dalam strategi pengamanan wilayah signifikan adanya. Sebagai tindak lanjut, diperlukan upaya peningkatan keluasan jangkauan UAV serta pemanfaatan hasil surveillance secara lebih luas dengan lintas institusi yang dapat diperluas sehingga penggunaannya dapat lebih dimaksimalkan.

The state, all at sea: Interoperability and the Global Network of Navies

The sea has long been envisioned as antithetical to land, and therefore geography and the state. The Global Network of Navies (GNoN) is a Pentagon-led program that seeks to extend state power over the seas by cultivating naval interoperability. Interoperability has been a source of American military might since World War 2, but took on heightened importance after the Cold War. In this paper, I make three related arguments. First, I argue that the GNoN is an attempt to produce ocean space within a U.S.-led, but ultimately transnational, state assemblage. Second, I argue that this project relies on the materiality of the sea to affectively nudge forward transnational cooperation. Third, I argue that this reliance on the materiality of the sea is paradoxical, as the GNoN attempts (and ultimately fails) to dematerialize ocean space into abstract network ontology. To make these arguments, I first theorize interoperability through assemblage, highlighting how a transnational state assemblage emerges that works through, but is not reducible to, individual states. I then trace a genealogy of maritime space, showing how maritime space was assembled with U.S. naval technologies and strategies in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, culminating in the GNoN. Next, I examine the technical challenges of naval interoperability, focusing on C4ISR technologies. The sea's materially limits flows of data that have become synonymous with today's warfighting. Many of the Pentagon's potential partners lack the high-end technology required to be interoperable with the U.S. The C4ISR technology that is therefore distributed to partners is both technical and political; the U.S. remains central to data fusion and distribution. I then return to the sea itself, showing how the GNoN tries to dematerialize the sea but ultimately runs aground on the shoals of materiality. What remains is a smaller, fragmented spatiality that remains oriented around specific seas.
