A Challenge to Indonesian Military: Nanotechnology In The Future?

*Rahadhian T. Akbar
It is not a state’s secret anymore, Indonesia has fall behind in defense and its military sufficiency to meet the minimum essential requirements since the “new order” regime falls. Budgeting and list of other priorities of the state’s concerns are the main reason. Several countries also have the same problems. But the main question is, what can we do? Technology often can be used in two ways , help us with our needs, or provide the basic structure to elaborate future possibilities of upgrading our basic needs to make it more efficient and effective. One can lead us to enhance our household, or leads us to make our military equipment far more lethal and capable.
An expert panel from ACUNU (American Council for the United Nations University) elaborates several possibilities of using Nanotechnology to enhance military equipment. First, Nanomaterials (in form of nanotubes) can be used in uniform and equipment to make it lighter and stronger. Second, it can be formed in nanoparticles to cover surfaces and make it lighter, smoother, and stealthier. Third, it can form artificial blood cells (respirocytes) that dramatically enhance human performance. Fourth, it can be used to produces large quantities of smart weapons — especially miniaturized, robotic weapons and intelligent, target-seeking ammunition. It also can be used to form a small receptor-enhancers designed to increase alertness and reduce the reaction times of humans reflect.
Those enhancements could make cost of military expenditure take stances in a low stage. We could imagine that in future times, Indonesian military dependencies on military equipment from other countries could be reduced to a minimum level. Yes, there is a hope that Indonesia could divert the budget into something else matter. But, it needs certain commitment to do such a thing. Indonesia is still far from having it and integrates it to our military forces. The military cost -like our Land Power- such a mount of soldier can be reduced. In that matter, 1 soldier could equal to 4. It also affects other equipment. Stronger suit of uniforms, stronger shield, stronger helmet, and of course, it only count in small number.
Several Countries in Asia have been reported developing this technology. Several major power like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and parts of China, have been linked to Raymor Industries to provide the technology and its basic materials. Raymor Industries is a developer of high technology for the production of single-walled carbon nanotubes, nanomaterials and other advanced materials for high value-added applications. They comprise four divisions. (1) Nanotechnology products, including nano-powders, nano-coatings, and single-walled carbon nanotubes (C-SWNT). (2) Thermal sprays coatings, which largely targets military, aeronautical, aerospace, specialized industrial and mining applications. (3) Spherical metallic powders, primarily used for biomedical and aerospace applications, and (4) net-shape forming, a component manufacturing technique used for ballistic protection and other aerospace and military applications . These divisions are linked tightly to a high level development of military equipment.
What kinds of hindrances does Indonesian military get to achieve such military technology development? First, Indonesia is still struggling with general economic development. Indonesia has different priorities in the level of elite politics, and military development is not in the streamline of waves. Economic development and Politics’ stability establishment are the two primary concerns. In the near future, Indonesia still doesn’t have the possibilities to make it more possible to obtain. Such perspectives will be stay long in Indonesian leader. As other priorities urges, the integrations of Nanotechnologies to our military seems so far away.
Second, in our Military Budget, the budget of Research and Development does not account to meet such requirement. As other countries take defense budget share 6-7 % of their GNP, Indonesia falls far below the par. Accordingly, our RnD only have a small amount number of budget. Materials can be produced; technologies could be achieve, but still needed an adequate RnD to make it useful. An integration between the technologies and the user should be embraced to make the technologies works. This is the part where government co-operates with other institutions.
Institutions like Universities and RnD Institutions could provide useful information or work together to assemble the technology. In plain comparation, in 2002, Japan spends 750 US$ million; China spends 200 US$ million; Korea Spends 150 US$; Taiwan spends 111 million US$; Singapore spends 40 million US$ . Accordingly, we can assume with that the leading power in the RnD of nanotechnology is Japan. We can combine it with Mearsheimer’s works “The Tragedy of Great Power Politics” (Mearsheimer, J., 2001) and could propose a notion that such a thing is a potential power. Thus, there are several potential Hegemonic power in Region due to their willingness to acquire “future possibilities” in Nanotechnology in military purposes, namely China, Japan, India.
In other Region, US have been actively pursuing this level of technology. The United States Army has selected MIT to create lightweight molecular materials to equip foot soldiers of the future with uniforms and gear that can heal them, shield them and protect them against chemical and biological warfare. It means US have initiated the combining of the nanotechnology for military purpose earlier. MIT won the Army competition for the five-year. MIT won $50 million proposal for an Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies (ISN). The ISN will be staffed by up to 150 people, including 35 MIT professors from nine departments in the schools of engineering, science, and architecture and planning.
Indonesia? FBI fact book (2005) issues the information that only 3% share of Indonesian GDP has been use as expenditure to Indonesian military. This share is already including personnel’s welfare and overhead offices expenditures which takes the major part of it. Consequently, there is only a little amount of it for Indonesian military to cover the RnD Budget. In the view of that, Indonesian military is certainly having a very small account to develop their technology to the nanotechnological level.
Nanotechnology will surely accelerate the military capabilities to a higher level, but, will it be graceful? Our historical path had shown a large number misuse of the military campaign including the use of military force to firmly establish an authoritarian regime. With better military equipment, it will be easier to do such a thing, won’t they?

I’m afraid such vision is too unrealistic. Just as you mentioned in this article, Indonesia spends too little on its military and the research and development budget.
Indonesia doesn’t develop its military industry, it bought its equipment mostly from other countries, I don’t think this condition will change anytime soon. The fact is, Indonesia is but a periphery state.
Rather than starting to develop powerful nanotechnology arsenals, I think we should focus on the safety of our maritime borders. It’s well known fact that Indonesia, despite being archipelagic state, sadly couldn’t protect its massive territories.
I don’t say such possession of high technology is on the least of importance. It’s just that we still have (too much) other issues that should be taken into higher priority instead of this.
Saying the truth, personally I never like military business in every level of its development. If you want Indonesia also participate to develop nano techno for military purpose, I suggest we just use it as techonology that can be enhanced for peaceful idea. Having war is not fun my friend, make proud neither. I have no idea why so many people so exaggerated establish modern military equipments which finally of course to bombard your enemies. Have a slight to Iraq and some African countries that still remain in unstable conditions because of war, it so terrifying if it happens to our land. Not saying that we don’t need nano-technology development, but why should war?
teknologi persenjataan indonesia mengadopsi nanotechnology?hehehehehe…..
aku pikir itu msh akan jauh sekali. bahkan untuk memprediksi kapan indonesia akan memiliki persenjataan tersebut saja sangat sulit untuk dilakukan. persoalan yg menghadang terlalu kompleks, mulai dari persoalan political will hingga kemampuan ekonomi.
ngebayanginnya aja udah berat bgt, man…….
aku setuju dg calvin yg mengatakan tulisan ini sangat tidak realistis, bahkan penulisny pun sdh menyatakan hal itu d dlm tulisannya sendiri (paragraf 5,6 & 9).
menurutku akan lbh menarik jk pembahasan mengenai modernisasi persenjataan indonesia diarahkan pada strategi mengatasi gap kapasitas persenjataan indonesia yg rendah, akibat anggaran yg minim dan perencanaan yg amburadul, dg neg2 asia timur lainnya.
saya dengar gosip (atau rahasia umum), katanya TNI AL tuh punya dua kapal selam, satu rusak, dan satu lagi kalau nyelam ga bisa naik2 lagi ya?
Bung Calvin, itu bukan gosip tapi fakta. Bicara soal teknologi persenjataan Indonesia memang memperihatinkan. Sy jadi ingat cerita Bung Kusnanto Anggoro di sebuah seminar tentang pelanggaran kedaulatan NKRI diperairan Indonesia. Ketika ditanya kenapa kita tidak bertindak tegas terhadap para pelanggar, jawabnya, sebetulnya kita tidak tinggal diam, Indonesia tetap melakukan tindakan mulai dari memperingati agar keluar dari perairan Indonesia sampai diambilnya keputusan untuk melakukan tembakan rudal kearah kapal (kapal selam) asing yang melalui perairan Indonesia. Tapi sayang tidak satupun rudal yang sampai pada sasaran karena pendeknya jangkauan rudal yang dimiliki Indonesia. semua teknologi militer Indonesia secara keseluruhan memang sudah usang bahkan ada yang sama sekali tidak bisa digunakan. Mendingan saat ini kita fokus bagaimana caranya Indonesia dapat membangkitkan kembali perekonomiannya, dengan perekonomian yang mapan, saya pikir persoalan modernisasi persenjataan Indonesia yang diharapkan Bung Wendy dapat direalisasikan. Orang kedelai aja kita kesulitan, wajar kan kalau teknologi persenjataan kita bobrok…
@asrudin
terima kasih atas keterangannya, saya agak awam kalau membicarakan mengenai militer.
Seperti yang sudah disinggung sebelumnya oleh penulis dan komentator, tampaknya memang pemerintah kita sedang dihadapi masalah pilihan prioritas. Apakah kita harus memprioritaskan ekonomi dulu baru militer? atau kita harus menambahkan anggaran pada militer dan menurunkan prioritas sektor lain?
Apakah tidak ada cara agar keduanya bisa dipertahankan dalam waktu bersamaan? Sulit sekali ya mengurus negara, apalagi kalau negara itu Indonesia…
Soal prioritas: kita lihat dulu urgensinya. Apakah memang ada ancaman keamanan nyata yang ditujukan terhadap Indonesia, kalau tidak untuk apa kita pusing memikirkan teknologi persenjataan militer yang sangat mahal biayanya sementara itu disaat bersamaan banyak rakyat Indonesia yang miskin kelaparan, menganggur, dan tidak perpendidikan.
Akan menjadi tidak rasional kalau pemerintah Indonesia memutuskan untuk memangkas anggaran disektor lain (seperti pendidikan, kesehatan, dan semua jenis subsidi terhadap rakyat miskin) hanya karena ingin memodernisasi persenjataan yang belum terlihat urgensinya.
betul, itu juga yang saya pikirkan. Menurut saya Indonesia saat ini belum memiliki kebutuhan tinggi-tinggi amat untuk memodernisasi seluruh persenjataannya.
Menurut saya negar-negara di asia tenggara tidak menginginkan adanya perang atau persengkataan terbuka dalam skala besar mengingat kawasan ini adalah salah satu kawasan yang pertumbuhan perekonomiannya tertinggi di dunia.
Tapi mungkin perasaan ingin memodernisasi senjata ini bertambah besar mengingat negara-negara tetangga kita yang jauh lebih kecil memiliki arsenal yang lebih tinggi dan kita sebagai negara kawasan terbesar agak sulit menerima kenyataan ini, kita bukan power lagi di asia tenggara.
1. The writer use the third person perception when writing this notions. Whether am i agree or otherwise, this is a knowledge-or a theory, to use it or not, is another thing.
2. perhaps one who read this article and say that it is laughable to have a notion like this -due to the budgeting problems, could refers to this sentences:
“We could imagine that in future times, Indonesian military dependencies on military equipment from other countries could be reduced to a minimum level. Yes, there is a hope that Indonesia could DIVERT the budget into something else matter…”
nano tech could show us that way..
lagipula, apajadinya apabila michaelangelo tidak punya visi untuk membuat manusia bisa terbang, meskipun pada waktu itu tampaknya sangat aneh…
Salam.
Saya sepakat dengan Laksamana Timothy Keating (pimpinan Komando Pasifik AS) yang mengatakan bahwa peningkatan kapabilitas militer justru hanya meningkatkan ketakutan dari negara-negara lain, yang kemudian memancing negara lain untuk segera melakukan hal serupa (meningkatkan kapabilitas militernya) (Lihat “Taiwan-China: AU Pamerkan Pangkalan Udara,” dalam Kompas, 16 Januari 2008, hlm. 10 pada kolom Internasional). hal Inilah yang kemudian melahirkan “Persepsi Ancaman.” Kita harus ingat persepsi ancaman hanya akan melahirkan kesalahpahaman dalam memandang cara kerja negara lain yang kemudian dapat menyebabkan konflik dan krisis.
Mungkin langkah terbaik yang dapat dilakukan Indonesia sehubungan dengan peningkatan kapabilitas militer negara lain (seperti di kawasan Asia Tenggara) adalah bukan dengan meningkatkan kapabilitas militer yang sama tapi bagaimana kita mampu menciptakan iklim politik yang dapat menciptakan rasa saling kepercayaan antar negara (kita mengenal konsep CBM dalam ASEAN).
Strategi ini adalah tepat sehubungan dengan kondisi perekonomian Indonesia yang stagnan.
Add to previous spot, This article does not recommend anything. Word: “what if?” could be useful to guiding our thoughts. Again, this article seems to close-related to realism perspective. Anyone could easily challenged this article if one does not stand in the same perspective. Consequently, this articles has to be examined to the worst case scenario, even if there will be none, but what if?…
tulisanny jgn tlalu dkomentari serius.
btul ga bung dian?
bung dian kan cuma mengajak kita berkhayal, “bagaimana kalau indonesia suatu saat nanti kaya, cerdas, dan kuat?”
punya cukup dana utk R&D, punya scientist buat R&D, n akirnya punya militer kuat.
pengamen dipinggir jalan aja blh berkhayal jd presiden. (bs tercapai koq, walaupun kdengaran khayalannya ktinggian).
bung dian butuh aica aibon spy khayalanny lebih tinggi lg?
Portal ini memfasilitasi kita untuk berdiskusi secara serius dan intelektual. Ko anda menyarankan agar orang jangan terlalu serius mengomentari tulisan ini…
Bagaimana kalau kita berkhayal: Indonesia menjadi negara yang sejahtera, kedelai murah, beras murah, gula murah, jagung murah, minyak sawit murah (Lihat berita di Kompas hari ini semua harga pangan tersebut mahal, rakyat susah semua).
Kalau ingin berkhayal Indonesia menjadi negara yang kuat secara militer, perbaiki dulu kondisi-kondisi di atas. Bukankah seorang merkantilis dan ekonom kenamaan asal Jerman F. List menyarankan hal serupa. Jika ingin suatu negara kuat secara militer, bangunlah perekonomiannya secara mapan, dengan begitu negara dapat memanfaatkannya untuk membangun teknologi militer yang kuat…
umm, if I may say, I would strongly recommended to those whose are not stand in the same perspective to this articles, to not challenge this article, it is just as the same as to clash realism with another perspectives. It is not fair to do so. Each perspectives offer different explanations, and to different cases. Even if we elaborate every theory in this world to find the solutions to indonesia’s current problem, still one will find it hard to firm the ultimate cure.. Spectrum of the issue that I offer in this articles is a litle too narrow than what Asrudin is expecting.. But again, if Asrudin wouldnt allow everyone to think what is the best idealism to oneself, then i would prefer Asrudin as an authorian perhaps?
Asrudin, i have already answer your question if only you could carefully read paragraph 6-7.. if you do so, then you will find that me too recognize the same idea as yours..
knife does not make a man to be a dangerous person, but it can chop a delicious Steak @ the American Grill, if you are willing to think it Peacefuly.. it is just a matter of mindset anyway..
again, mindset does matter..
oiya, Asrudin, i would like to answer the Missiles Issues Issued by Kusnanto Anggoro.
Are you Sure that We Are ACTUALLY Firing Those Missiles? If We Are Doing So, by The Rules Of Enggagement, Malaysia Will Return Fire, Coz, whether -Nyampe ato nggak-, they will still get warning signal from the radar, and Will start Firing BACK at our ships due to the MIlitary Rules..
I would suggest one would search the truth logically by fact, not by who is saying the words, coz if we do so, just switch our mindset to gossip news, — SETAJAM SILET… hehehehe..
No offense, Best regard.
woi dian…
btw…lo skrg dCires? sjk kpn?
asrudin g ngerti kli kpn kusnanto serius, kpn becanda?!
jd ungkapan kusnanto soal menembakkan misil dianggap srius, pdhal kusnanto cm bermaksud menggungkapkan bhw kapabilitas kapal perang qta sangat minim mlalui ‘guyonan’nya itu.
tul g? kya g pnah knal mas kus aj.
@ rahadian: tulisan ini saya bilang tidak menggigit krn tidak memberikan sesuatu yg baru d dlm pembicaraan mengenai modernisasi persenjataan TNI. d dlm tulisan ini anda menjelaskan ttg perkembangan persenjataan teknologi-nano dan selanjutnya anda menjelaskan bahwa indonesia tidak mampu mengadopsi teknologi tersebut. kalau tulisan anda hanya sebatas itu maka tulisan anda menjadi tidak bernilai krn semua orang, pun anak SMU, jg tahu bahwa indonesia tdk mungkin mengadopsi persenjataan berteknologi nano u/ saat ini. tulisan anda akan sangat bernilai jika saja anda menjelaskan ttg apa yang dapat indonesia lakukan saat ini, disesuaikan dg kemampuan yg ada, agar dpt mengadopsi persenjataan berteknologi nano d masa depan.
btw, sejak kpn lo d cires? ko selama gw da d ceacos gw g pnah liat lo d cires???
sekedar info (bagi yg tertarik):
yandri kurniawan kasim menulis ttg DCA Indonesia-Singapura d blog Kajian HI (http://kajianhi.wordpress.com)
@wendy:
woi..sadis lo. lo kira macan bs gigit?!
stidakny dian ud nulis pake english. jd lumayan lah…
dr pd qta, kasi komen english aj g mampu.
hahahaa..
@dian:
ga tau gw realis ato bkn, tp sbg anak pengstrat yg kadang realis, gw g mnemukan poin yg bs gw gugat dtulisan lo.
slamat! tulisan anda aman! (mmm…aman ato …?)
Yang bilang gw gabung di CIRES siapa? Currently Enggaged itu khan bisa berarti gw tukang sapu di CIRES, ayo, dont be narrow minded dunks, khan gw lagi promosi CIRES (tapi format Mbak SUSI yach), yach anggap aja gw simpatisan CIRES gitu..
Pak Mas memang dulu menawarkan gw untuk gabung dengan CIRES (dulu meeting nya bareng Ahmad Rifai.Phd (yang akhirnya megang mas-trans di CIRES skr), tapi gw gak follows dan (apalagi) gabung….
To Wendy, Try to be tolerant to Other ways of Thought, Please.. If The Subject may be interesting to you or not, it is just a matter of our Opinion, whether it is personally or a professional one.
Offering something new? Well, I was just Offering an alternative explanation to those whose have a minimum literature about Strategic Studies, especially in Military - Technology Integration in Indonesia.
I was tickled by Pak Budi dan Gnrl. Budi statements (both from Dephan) who revealed the possibilities of Acquiring NanoTechnology to Indonesian Military forces in the near future in The Seminar @ AJB about our defense, You were there too, right? (btw, it was off the record, the mic was turned off by Gnrl Budi). I don’t think that anyone would happy if i reveal what is really going on(due to the Wendy’s demand). I try to respect the academic dimension by stating that this is only a big question, as stated in the end of the title. Read the title carefully.
The last thing (that little thing like this: -?-) should change the whole meaning.
example:
- Wendy is smart.
- Wendy is smart?
Could you tell the meaning?
wendy is smart.
is wendy smart?
who is smarter?
hahahhaha..kya blajar bhs inggris…
portal yg aneh…
jgn jdkan portal ini ajang serang menyerang dunk…
warlord aj ud tobat…
hihhihhhii..
tar dmarain verdinand loh…
PEACE!!!
tulisan yang menarik mas rahadhian!! saya jd tahu kondisi terkini pertahanan indonesia. di atas mas rahadhian menyatakan bahwa indonesia berkeinginan untuk menggunakan persenjataan nanotechnology dimasa depan. namun mas rahadhian menyatakan hal itu tidak mungkin.
pertanyaan saya, apa yang harus indonesia lakukan agar bisa menggunakan nanotechnology di masa depan?
terima kasih mas, sukses selalu!!

Many Thanks Rob.
First, I didn’t say that it is impossible. Rather, i would say that it needs certain commitment to do such a thing. If we did not commit, nothing will happen. You better trust me on this one.
Second, our political and economical sector must be firmly established. Our political-elite parties (especially to the policy maker) must understand that defense is not a political-bargain item, but, is a requirement to a strong and sovereign countries.
Third, any other states use civil organizations (non governmental organizations) are the one whose developing the technology, not within the military it self. It requires cooperations and accountability. Due to the situations about how high our rank in corruptions level, it will be difficult to held. So, good government, commitment, and economical-political establishment are three things to do priority list if we want to “shortened” the time frame needed to acquire the technology.
@ another argument:
my bedrock assumptions are:
1. Our defense Budget will be reduced to 1/4 if we could apply those enhancement. ‘
2. Helmets will last longer because it is stronger.
3. Suits and uniforms are tougher.
4. 1:4 soldier should reduce the cost of salary. cetera…
So, if those enhancements are applied, our military budget will be reduced by “default”, not by “design” as we are now, (due to our “limitations” in Budget (hehehehe..).
If there is another argument to say that it would cost a lot more if we use that kind of enhancement, i would suggest one could understand the Principe of Investment and Efficiency too.
That is all Rob,
I hope the question is answered.
Just let me know if there are another curiousnesses, i would gladly to help as far as i concern.
ngomong2, ada opsi untuk penggunaan senjata biologis ngga di masa mendatang? (emang udah dilarang sejak perang dunia II, tapi siapa tahu…)
The use of biological weapons are prohibited.
But, as other dual use mode technologies, i dont think one can not easily stop its proliferations.
Have U ever watch the “I Am Legend?”
That Virus are mutating it self into a dangerous bio-weapons. Again, as Other Weapons, A virus (read: a Biological Weapon) can be easily released, but one may never know the one who release the virus.
The most possible uses of a biological weapon in the future are the selecting target of it. Virus will be made only to attack their specific target. for instance, limiting their trigger to enemies uniqueness. Thus, they will only be dangerous to their target. The non combatant, including the Owner, are immune or not affected. Everyman in every race, tribe, blood type, are having their own uniqueness. This is the most easily configuration’s trigger. Just reform this trigger and assert that to an identifier in that self-detect biological weapon, then, we can release the biological weapon from anywhere in the world. We can easily “eliminate” enemies by releasing the weapon from our dining room. By then, who would have known?
Don’t you guys wonder? Why there is no Arabian are infected by avian influenza?
hehehe, No offense..
Makin lama, saya makin kagum dengan Anda (Ms/Mr?) Rahadhian. Dari tulisan Anda dan cara merespons komentar, saya yakin Anda cukup reliable dalam topik teknologi keamanan khususnya teknologi nano ini.
Plus, cara menulis komentar dalam blog cukup menarik. Seseorang dengan tipikal blogger. Sori, saya bukan menjilat tapi memang saya sangat ‘haus’ akan blogger-blogger HI yang emang bener bener keren. Saya sendiri merasa nggak terlalu valid ngomongin masalah HI secara saya lebih tertarik dengan strategi pengembangan blognya.
Mengenai senjata biologi, saya diberitahu oleh rekan saya *mahasiswa Biologi* bahwa senjata biologi jauh lebih berbahaya dari senjata kimia. Kalau bom atom khan dampak radiasinya bisa tahunan tapi kalau bom virus dampaknya tidak akan habis. Karena senjata biologi sifatnya merusak ekosistem secara keseluruhan sehingga tidak bisa kembali pada ekosistem yang lama.
Ngeri juga sih dengar cerita teman anak Biologi ini. Entah beneran ato mungkin biar dibilang jurusan Biologi itu penting dalam HI, heee
berbicara ttg dinamika persenjataan, aku tertarik untuk membahas ttg mslh dinamika persenjataan d asia timur. saat ini asia timur merupakan kawasan dg tingkat transaksi tertinggi d dunia. ini memperlihatkan bahwa arms build-up d kawasan ini ckp tinggi, begitu pula dg potensi konflik antar negara. namun sayangny kita tidak memiliki perjanjian seperti yg dimiliki eropa dg CFE-nya. CFE ato Conventional Forces in Eurpoe merupakan perjanjian yg mengatur pergerakan kekuatan militer d eropa antara eropa barat dan uni soviet (rusia, saat ini).
asia timur butuh perjanjian yg mirip dg CFE krn d asia timur saat ini ad kecenderungan dr negara2ny untuk mengadopsi persenjataan yg dkategorikan sbg “blue water navy”, yaitu persenjataan yg dapat dproyeksikan ato dgelar di laut bebas. contoh dr persenjataan ini adalah kapal induk.
10 tahun lg kita akan melihat kapal induk AS, Cina dan india akan mondar mandir d kawasan asia timur u/ menjaga kepentingan mrk, jk tdk ada perjanjian yg mengatur ttg pergerakan senjata2 ini, yg ditambah dg potensi konflik yg tinggi bs dbayangkan apa yg terjadi di asia timur..
namun, persoalanny adalah sampai hr ini aku belom mendengar sama sekali adanya keinginan dr negara2 d asia timur u/ menyusun perjanjian yg mirip dg CFE tsb. CFE terbukti berhasil u/ mencegah terjadiny konflik antara eropa barat dan uni soviet. krn lwt perjanjian ini muncul rasa saling percaya bahwa kedua belah pihak tidak akan menggerakan persenjataan dan pasukanny scr provokatif.
waaaah!!! mas rahadhian menjelaskanny cerdas sekali!! saya skrg jd paham byk ttg mslh2 militer. betul kata mas verdinand, mas rahadhian jago sekali d bidang pertahanan keamanan. pasti rajin baca buku2 ttg pertahanan & keamanan.
salut de!!!!!!!
Salam..
Banyak hal yang harus dipikirkan sebelum sebuah negara akhirnya bisa memiliki sebuah konsep dasar untuk pertahanan seperti bagaimana dengan teritorial, ekonomi, culture (bs dimiringin gak tulisan ini), dan sebagainya.
Namun menyikapi tulisan mas/mbak Rahadhian (maaf ya.. agak ketinggalan) seharusnya persiapan lebih diarahkan dalam pembangunan pondasi kekuatan militer itu sendiri. Percuma bukan, kalau kekuatan militer tidak diimbangi dengan strategi yang didasarkan pada SDM yang terampil, pintar (cari siapa yang paling pintar!), jujur, dan kreatif. Artinya ada keseimbangan antara moral dan intelektualitas dalam sebuah konteks ‘perang’. Nano Technology di Indonesia tanpa pembenahan culture Good Governance itu nonsene (bisa gak jelas pengadaannya/bisa gak jelas penggunaannya). Apalagi kalo sampe mengarah sampai senjata biologis (ngurus ‘biologis’ sendiri aja kadang kebablasan apa lagi konteks perang) (btw, I am Legend bukannya menceritakan tentang ‘biologis dalam konteks paramedis?) jadi aneh blog ini stumpukan ilmu jadi satu sampe ada ilmu silat lidah… karuan saja…
agak setuju sama tulisannya mas/mbak wendy (saya gak kenal), mendingan urus regulasinya dulu lebih baik bukan…then, baru kita hajar tujuannya (jadi biar mimpinya teratur gt) kan michaelangelo sebelom nghayal terbang dia juga harus tau pengen terbang kemana n abis itu masak dia mao terbang seharian suntuk nggak ‘neba-neba’. .

@ Wendy: Your examinations are crossing them self into a different topic, again, this topic is everything but regionalism dimension. I dont even take one step closer to that area. Please do care. If you are interested, please do send your other regionalism-related articles to this blogg.
@ Mageruz: I will not answer to your argument, please do understand, if one try to critics other, first, understand what the subject is, then, read the whole passage from the very begining till the end. You will have to “catch” every message beyond the Cyntaxs, not partially. You are much doing redundancy.
@Robby: Ah, Robby, i can not afford to take such compliments. Im just another student..
But, thanks, lot of thanks..

wah…wah… reaksioner sekali penulis yang satu ini… mungkin anda yang tidak mengerti bagaimana mamahami kritikan seseorang dari sudut pandang orang itu sendiri… atau mungkin anda tidak pernah bersosialisasi (atau autis gitu?) yang hanya memandang sebuah komentar dari sudut pandang otak dan pikirannya yang terlalu me’luap-luap. Atau mungkin saya yang norak karena ingin tahu sebuah perkembangan pertahanan dan keamanan nasional kita mengacu kepada wawasan Nusantara dan bela Negara? Saya hanya ingin mencoba menggali potensi keingin tahuan saya dengan mencoba masuk kedalam diskusi ini. Terima kasih
Ps: Jangan kaku-kau mas!!! masak defence sama hasil karya sampe harus jadi manusia yang gak relevan seh???
@ rahadhian: if you want to read and improve your lack of knowledges about security dimension in east asia region, particularly about arms dynamic, you can visit my blog (http://wendhika-wendie.blogspot.com)
what i wrote in my latest comments just to share to anybody who want to know about what is happening in east asia. please READ again: “to anybody who want to”, if you don’t like it, just leave the comments coz portal hi isn’t yours is it?
@ everyone else:
I thought this commentaries columns was only ment to discuss the close-related topic wasnt it?
Please forgive me if I were wrong.
But, one should stands to “consistency”, is’nt it?
@ Mageruz:
forgive me, my knowlegde have their own limitations, but i’m quite not sure to whom your critics are concerned?
“Namun menyikapi tulisan mas/mbak Rahadhian (maaf ya.. agak ketinggalan) seharusnya persiapan lebih diarahkan dalam pembangunan pondasi kekuatan militer itu sendiri. Percuma bukan, kalau kekuatan militer tidak diimbangi dengan strategi yang didasarkan pada SDM yang terampil, pintar (cari siapa yang paling pintar!), jujur, dan kreatif………..” This is what i (should) call a redundancy. I have already included the explanations in my article and responses. This is matter coz you are “..menyikapi tulisan mas/mbak Rahadhian”. It would be a different cases if you are: …. menyikapi keadaan bangsa ini…”
I beg you pardon if i’m not one of your fave due to my daily routinities, my daily situations configure me as sumthin that truly dinamycs.
But, my suggest is, if you want to learn sumthin, try it in the rite ways, you’ll discover the differences. If you are interested, IR-strategic studies, defense Studies, ect, could provide you mutual information after u grads your current education level. Better, if you read, another article in this blogg, “kenapa anak HI nge blogg”?
You are entering a personal area, Please forgive me again, but, you are kindda offends to my private area by judging me? Perheaps, You should know that this kind of actions is evicted in our ways due to academic limitations. You should know this better than me, beside, you are the one who declare your self: …..masih sekolah.

@ Wendy my Friend:
I would reveal some quotations, I have managed to find it very usefull:
- Does not told does not mean does not know. (Rahadhian)
- I love power. But it is as an artist that I love it. I love it as a musician loves his violin, to draw out its sounds and chords and harmonies.
(Napoleon Bonaparte)
-Vote for the man who promises least; he’ll be the least disappointing.

I don’t really understand what would you say with that all quotations… sorry…….
if you want to tell something, just write it on in simple and short sentence. please…
“..menyikapi tulisan mas/mbak Rahadhian”. It would be a different cases if you are: …. menyikapi keadaan bangsa ini…”<<<<< ini yang saya maksud reaksioner dan ini pula yang saya maksud jangan terlalu kaku menghadapi sebuah kritikan.

jadi terkesan anda yang tidak tenang atau anda sedang mencari ketenangan lantas merasa bahwa blog ini “milik pribadi”nya yang tidak boleh dikritik lantaran blog ini terbuka untuk siapa saja termasuk saya yang masih sekolah… ha..8x Jadi lucu penulis ini… jadi terkesan anda yang redundency ya? tapi tak mengapalah memang kebanyakan orang jadi mempolitisir sesuatu atau ‘ngelezt bajaj’ kalo ngerasa diserang (padahal cuma dikritik), ya sama halnya dengan reaksi anda terhadap komentar2 yang memang berlawanan dengan anda lainnya.

Ps: boleh kenalan sama temen diskusi anda yang lain gak? ada gak? kalo gak ada ya ga papa. saya sangat mengerti koq
duuuuuuuuh..knapa tulisan ini jadi rame ya?
malah komennya trasa emosional!
bknnya ga ada yg penting ditulisan ini?
penulis ga merekomendasikan apapun, ga menyatakan pandangan akademis apapun, ga mencoba mencari solusi apapun buat masalah pertahanan indonesia!
penulis cuma blang: ada manfaat besar kalo aplikasikan nano tech pada militer, sudah ada beberapa negara yg mulai meneliti potensi nano-tech, indonesia skrg blum mampu kembangkan teknologi nano, baik bagi indonesia jika juga aplikasi nano dimasa depan, dsb.
bukan begitu pak penulis?
trus…apa yg mau diperdebatkan?
GA ADA YG PENTING koq!
kcuali: penulis merekomendasi pengembangan teknologi nano oleh indonesia; atau menyatakan teknologi nano mendesak bagi indonesia; atau mengembangkan teknologi nano lebih penting dari pada upaya indonesia utk mengembangkan misil; atau helm perang berteknologi nano mempunyai deterrent effect jauh lebih besar dari kapal selam atau missile!
naaaah…klo ada pernyataan semacam itu, baru tulisan ini bisa diperdebatkan!
trus sapa yg salah?
(mungkin) portalnya yg salah!
knapa tulisan sperti ini (yg sbenarnya tidak memberikan celah untuk diperdebatkan) dipublikasikan?
hasilnya…komen cm jd ruang rumpi2, saling unjuk kekuatan (pengetahuan), dan saling menyerang (yg terkesan sangat personal)!
hahahahaha.. warlord, gw swetuju banget sama lo, akhirnya, ada yang objection yang bener. Iya, iya, gw terima kritikan lo warlord..
Gw c cuman self defense aja… hehehehe.
Maafin Warlord ya mod, hehehe
Gw gak nyangka, objection’s review yang tepat justru dari orang yang gak nulis di blog ini. Top lah lo.. Ayo dunk, gw menanti tulisan lo nich..
Salute, warlord!

emang juga itu awalnya yang coba didiskusikan sama penulis, ada peluang yang oleh Indonesia untuk memanfaatkan nanotech diarah depan. Nah, saya berpendapat untuk mencoba merapihkan pondasi Indonesia dahulu sebelum kesana dengan memasukkannya kedalam comment untuk penulis karena si pak rahadhian ini yang membuat karya tulisnya. Apa salah memperkaya pendapat? jadi jangan lempar saya dengan sebutan “You are much doing redundancy”.
itu yang fatal! gak lebih kan?
I would totally agree with u Mageruz, indeed, we do have our side towered on one side. but, i would more then happy if you take a look @ comm. No. 25… Second, our political and economical sector must be firmly established..
So you see, we are not much that different at all. But, i would only state it in an implicit way, coz, i was afraid the term would be deviated too far from the answer needed on that comment.
It is a good way for you to enrich the nexus of our topics, there fore, you could do this further by making an article to discuss what it is you interested on. Yes, you could lead us somewhere specific.
dont you guys realize, this topic is the most discussed one in this Blogg? (note on 4%) hehehe
indonesia …
sudah punya sejak dulu fasilitas wwahhhhh untuk riset nanotek,
sebenernya nanotek itu cuma istilah aja … sama saja dengan riset riset teknologi yang umum saat ini, cuma saja ngerisetnya dari skala kecil … biomaterial, energi, kesehatan, kanker, material, semuanya bisa di nanotek kan … termasuk militer … bagian apanya militer yg bisa dinanotekkan … ya dengan nanotek bisa bikin material sangat bagus, bisa bikin material radar super duper sensi, bisa bikin material bom untuk bunker penetrator
dll.
apa fasilitas nanotek indonesia …
Spallation resource, alias Neutron Beam bertempat di serpong, punya beberapa beamline dari powder diffraction sampe neutron scattering beroperasi sejak 95
china, india, singapura aja belum punya tuh spallation source
sayang seribu sayang … minim minim minim sekali peneliti, universitas, dosen yg memanfaatkan fasilitas ini
yg bikin saya malu saat diskusi professor saya yg kebetulan kepala Neutron Source di Munchen … ternyata dia tau ada fasilitas ini di INDON, dan ternyata dia juga tau fasilitas ini lagi mati suri, dan ternyata dia tau saintisnya cuma 7 orang … dan dia bilang sayang sayang sekali indonesia ndak memanfaatkannya padahal bisa dipake untuk riset segala bidang, kecuali bidang sosial ekonomi kekekek
Sangat menarik untuk membahas kekuatan Militer dengan nanotekhnologi dengan kondisi perekonomian seperti saat ini…Menurut saya keduanya tidak dapat dipisahkan satu sama lainnya, coz.. pada dasarnya untuk membangun suatu perekonomian dibutuhkan kondisi yg aman, untuk menciptakan kondisi yg aman dibutuhkan kekuatan militer yang handal. Saya ambil laut sebagai analoginya,”..Kalau negara kita mampu mengamankan semua kekayaan yg ada di laut dan dimanfaatkn untuk membangun perekonomian kita,sudah tentu negara kita akan membaik perekonomiannya, untuk mampu mengamankan wilayah perairan kita dibutuhkan kekuatan militer yang handal, terutama Angkatan Laut kita..”. So..sektor mana yang diharus dibangun terlebih dahulu? Ekonomi atau militer?
Therefore…i agree with Rahadhian..if nanotechnology can make our military equipment more lethal capable. Why not??
sungguh menarik melihat keadaan militer Indonesia saat ini..di satu sisi Indonesia punya negara yang sangat luas untuk dijaga,tetapi disisi lain indonesia tidak punya banyak dana untuk memodernisasi armada perangnya…
kalau menghayal ni,,kapan kita bisa punya pesawat canggih seperti keluaran terbaru F-22..??padahal tu pesawat sumpah keren abis..apalagi klo ada yg pernah mainin game Ace Combat…sep dah…udah ga kelihatan di Radar, terus punya kehebatan dalam pertempuran air to air dan air to ground…
sep lah…
makanya saya mau banyak belajar ni,,biar bisa bntu Indonesia beli pesawat-pesawat moderen tar..
(salam kenal,,saya Budi Satria, Siswa SMP kelas 1 di SMP Negri 1 Pekanbaru,,saya tertarik dengan militer,,karna tar saya mau masuk AKMIL?
How about “Indonesia SECRET Military Technology” ?
