Indonesian waters The recent discovery of an Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) belonging to a foreign nation deep inside Indonesia s territorial waters cannot be overlooked since it must be perceived as a real threat to national security.
However, how does Indonesia address this matter and prevent any future recurrence of a similar infiltration of foreign underwater drones into the country s territorial waters?
Sukamta, a member of the House of Representatives (DPR s) Commission I overseeing security and foreign affairs, suggested that the government should improve Indonesia s defense and remote sensing capabilities.

This is a homework for Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto to enhance our capabilities to accelerate the development of remote-sensing technology, Sukamta, a member of the House of Representatives’ (DPR’s) Commission I, stated here on Saturday.

New Jersey: China has deployed a fleet of underwater drones called Sea Wing (Haiyi) glider in the Indian Ocean, which can operate for months on end and make observations for naval intelligence purposes, according to defence analyst HI Sutton.
Writing for the Forbes magazine, Sutton said that these sea gliders, which the Chinese are deploying “en masse”, are a type of Uncrewed Underwater Vehicle (UUV) which were launched in mid-December 2019 and recovered in February after making over 3,400 observations.
Citing the government sources, Sutton in his report said that these gliders are similar to those deployed by the US Navy, one of which was seized by Beijing in 2016 to ensure “safe navigation of passing ships.”
