Introduction

Indonesia, as one of the countries that are very rich in natural resources on land and in oceans, is an archipelago that has more than 17,000 islands separated by waters that have enormous development potential but will also face threats such as natural disasters, the threat of terror, and cyber. Technology is needed to make it easier for humans to develop natural resource potentials and face threats such as mapping, surveillance and guarding of areas, reconnaissance, disaster mitigation, terrorism movements, and cyber attacks.

 

This technology has enormous potential in protecting Indonesia's sovereignty and economic development. The main mission of this drone is to conduct surveillance in the Indonesian border area. However, additional missions can be assigned to these drones such as surveillance of Indonesian territorial waters, monitoring of natural resources, and search for SAR. With the capabilities and potential of this drone, the HALE UAV is something that Indonesia can develop for the sake of national sovereignty.
