In the context of initiating collaboration to strengthen research innovation and development in the field of Indonesian marine defense, the Internet of Things and Defense Technology Research Center (IoTTP Research Center) of Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) together with a team from the Surabaya Fleet Command II main laboratory conducted a focus group discussion (FGD). The development of this technology is aimed at supporting maritime defense and optimizing the functions of existing marine defense equipment and systems.
The collaborative discussion session between the two agencies took place on Friday, January 20, 2023, and was chaired directly by Marine Colonel (E) Agus Sriyono Himarwanto, serving as Kalabinlek. Labinlek is the Main Electronics Laboratory. The event was also attended by Kalabinkimat (Chemical and Materials Laboratory). All of them are main laboratories under the aegis of the DISLITBANGAL MABESAL agency in Surabaya.
On this occasion, the Head of the IoTTP Research Center, Dr. Eng. Dhany Arifianto, ST. MEng, started the discussion by conveying the history of his research experience in the field of ship communication systems. His remarks were well received by the Surabaya Military Command II while conveying the need for better technology to support maritime defense activities in Indonesia.
The Focus Group Discussion (FGD), which was attended by both parties, then led to the mechanism for implementing cooperation between the two agencies. Colonel (Sea) Agus Sariyono conveyed the need for an agreement that covers the two agencies carrying out this research activity. That way, activities will be easier to carry out; it is even possible to carry out research activities directly in the main laboratory, which is within the Komando Armada II Surabaya environment.
