Abstract:
As an effort to optimize the implementation of Indonesia Navy principal task, development strategy has an
important role to encounter naval defense and security threat. This research aimed at formulating a strategy
to develop naval technology to strengthen the integrated naval weapon system. This research used SWOT
(Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat) analysis method as strategy formulation. Secondly, this research
used the Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM) and Balanced Scorecard approach. Naval technology de-
velopment strategy in the integrated fleet weapon system (SSAT) which was based on naval technology was
formulated into a strategic management plan which was based on five points of SO strategy, three points of
ST strategy, six points of WO strategy and one point of WT strategy that made in fifteen stages of strategy
in the naval technological mastery. The strategy mapping created in the Balanced Scorecard structure pre-
sented that financial perspective was made of one strategy target. Nine strategy targets were in the internal
process perspective. Learning and Growth perspective was made of four strategy goals. In addition, customer
aspect consisted of one strategy goal. This research was expected to give contribution to the naval strategic
development to support the integrated fleet weapon system in the Indonesian Navy.
1 INTRODUCTION
Located in a strategic trade route and sea transporta-
tion, Indonesia faces some challenge in the manage-
ment of maritime defense which comprises several
dimensions including defense and security manage-
ment. The national defense strategy which is imple-
mented in the sea is referred to the infrastructure and
the mastery of Naval Technology, especially in In-
tegrated Fleet Weapon System in Indonesian Navy,
where the military strategy believes that technology-
supported weapon system is an asset to win a combat.
As an effort to optimize the implementation of
Indonesia Navy principal task, development strategy
has an important role to encounter naval defense and
security threat. This research aimed at formulating a
strategy to develop naval technology to strengthen the
integrated naval weapon system by using technology
management approach. This research used SWOT
(Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat) analysis
method as strategy formulation. Secondly, this re-
search used the Interpretative Structural Modeling
(ISM)-Balanced Scorecard approach as a part of strat-
egy implementation Sahiti et al. (2016).
There is some literature in support of research
likely SWOT analysis uses to obtain the weight value
from the expert in identifying the internal and external
factors of traditional shipbuilding industry. SWOT
analysis uses to determine the external and internal
factors to support of strategy formulation in business
schools in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Integrate
results of each level and provide a final assessment of
the market selection strategy. SWOT analysis used to

2 MATERIALS /
METHODOLOGY
2.1 Indonesia Navy
The Indonesian Navy (Indonesian Navy) is one of the
branches of the army and is part of the Indonesian Na-
tional Army (TNI), which is responsible for the Re-
public of Indonesia’s national defense operations at
sea. According to Law No.34/2004 on the Indonesian
National Armed Forces, Article 9, the Navy has the
following tasks (Quesado et al., 2018):
Perform military duties in national defense
Enforce the law and secure the order in the sea
area of national jurisdiction in accordance with
national laws and ratified international laws
Perform diplomatic duties in support of foreign
policy set by the government
Engage with other duties relevant for the mainte-
nance and development of naval power
Support civilian empowerment in sea defense ar-
eas
2.2 Integrated Fleet Weapon System
(SSAT)
As the main component of sea national defense, In-
donesian Navy implements national defense policy
Figure 1: Integrated Fleet Weapon System of Indonesian
Navy
which is defending national sovereignty and territo-
rial integrity, protecting the national honor and se-
curity, and performing military operations. Indone-
sian Army strength is integrated in Integrated Fleet
Weapon System (translated as Sistem Senjata Armada
Terpadu or SSAT). SSAT consists of four compo-
nents, namely Republic of Indonesia Warship (KRI),
Aircraft, Marines, and Naval base. These four com-
ponents are interrelated and support each other. The
SSAT is literally correlated with the integrated use of
the four Navy weapon systems during operation. The
four components cannot act separately but under the
integrated instruction of the Navy.
2.3 Naval Technology
In conducting naval operations in the future, there is
a need for highly skilled personnel with an effective
response to an attack. In designing new systems and
equipment, flexibility and adaptability are needed to
manage technology improvements. In testing skills
and providing training, there needs to be a closer re-
lationship between naval personnel and the defense
industry to provide feedback on developing new ca-
pabilities.
The general trend towards fewer crews will en-
courage the application of technological capacity to
improve crew capability. The role of warships by
2030 will begin to change with the use of unmanned
systems and remote control systems. It will have a
greater effect with less risk of the aircraft carrier. In
addition, the need for mission flexibility and energy
efficiency in naval vessels will encourage the appli-
cation of technology which is related to energy stor-
age, production, shipping and reuse or energy man-
agement.
In the Global Marine Technology Trends 2030,
will focus on 8 (eight) technology fields, with the
potential to change naval operations in the future.
SENTA 2018 - The 3rd International Conference on Marine Technology
186
These eight technologies will play an important role
in future war battles (Attri et al., 2013). The eight
technologies include 1) Advanced Material; 2) Au-
tonomous System; 3) Big Data Analytic; 4) Advanced
Manufacturing; 5) Energy Management; 6) Cyber and
Electronic Warfare; 7) Human Computer Interaction;
8) Human Augmentation
2.4 SWOT Analysis
SWOT Analysis is an analysis consisting of micro en-
vironment analysis to find out the strengths and weak-
nesses of a company, and macro environment analy-
sis to find out opportunities and threats to the com-
pany. This analysis is based on logic that could op-
timize strengths and opportunities, but it could min-
imize weaknesses and threats at the same time [19].
The strategic decision-making process is always re-
lated to the development of missions, goals, strate-
gies, and policies of an industry/company. A research
shows that industry or company performance can be
determined by combination of internal and external
factors. Both of these factors must be considered in
the SWOT analysis. Internal factors include strengths
and weaknesses, while the external factors include op-
portunities and threats.
SWOT matrix is a decision-making formulation
instrument to determine the strategies adopted based
on logic to optimize strengths and opportunities of
the company, and simultaneously minimize the weak-
nesses and threats. Below are steps in preparing
SWOT matrix:
Compiling a list of external opportunities and
threats of a company as well as the internal
strengths and weaknesses.
Developing SO (Strength-Opportunity) strategy
by matching the internal strength with the exter-
nal opportunities.
Developing WO (Weakness-Opportunity) strat-
egy by matching the internal weaknesses with the
external opportunities.
Developing ST (Strength-Threat) strategy by
matching the internal strength with the external
threats.
Developing WT (Weakness-Threat) strategy by
matching the internal weaknesses with the exter-
nal threats.
2.5 Interpretative Structural Modeling
(ISM)
The interpretative structural modeling (ISM) used for
ideal planning, is an effective method because all ele-
ments can be processed in a simple matrix. ISM was
first proposed by War field in 1973. The interpreta-
tive structural modeling is a methodology that aims
to identify the relationship between a particular item,
which defines a related problem or issue and a suit-
able modeling technique for analyzing the influence
of one variable on another variable.
ISM has been well proven to identify structural
relationships among system-specific variables. The
basic idea is to use practical experience and expert
knowledge to parse complex systems into multiple
sub-systems and build structured structural models.
The ISM-based approach is one of the versatile and
powerful techniques that have been used to solve
complex multi-factor problems. ISM is interpreta-
tive, since the group assessment selected for the study
determines whether and how the related variables.
There are procedures or stages in the use of the ISM
method, such stages as :
Identify parameters.
Development of Structural Self Interaction Matrix
(SSIM). The development of an interpretive struc-
tural model begins with the preparation of a struc-
tural self-interaction matrix, indicating the direc-
tion of the contextual relationship between ele-
ments.
Reach ability Matrix. From the self-interaction
matrix (SSIM), the relational indicator is con-
verted to binary numbers 0 and 1 to obtain a
square matrix, called the reach ability matrix.
Partition level.
The construction of interpretative structural mod-
eling (ISM).
MICMAC analysis. MICMAC is used to check
driving power and dependence power. Variables
have been grouped into four criteria known as Au-
tonomous, Linkage, Dependent and Driving / in-
dependent. The following is the meaning of the
four categories (Shahbandarzadeh and Haghighat,
2010): 1) Variable Autonomous. 2) Linkage Vari-
ables. 3) Dependent Variables. 4) Independent
Variables.

2.6 Balanced Scorecard (BSC)
Balanced scorecard is a method developed to measure
every activity carried out by a company in order to re-
alize the goals of the company. Balanced scorecard is
a separate activity related to targeting, but then inte-
grated with the strategy management system. Strate-
gic management system is the process of formulating
and implementing strategies to realize the vision con-
tinuously and structured. Balanced scorecard is fur-
ther developed as a means to communicate from vari-
ous units within an organization. Balanced scorecard
is also developed as a tool for organizations to focus
on strategy management.
In matrix development, data collection, and data
analysis, BSC refer to four perspectives, namely:
a. Financial Perspective. In the financial per-
spective, there are three aspects of the strategy im-
plemented by the company; a) revenue growth and a
combination of income owned by a business organi-
zation; b) decreased costs and increased productivity;
c) optimal use of assets, and investment strategies.
b. Customer Perspective (Customer). In this per-
spective, measurements are carried out with five main
aspects, likely : 1) Market share measurement. Mea-
surement of the size of the company’s market share.
2) Customer retention. Measurement is done by
knowing the percentage of business growth, with the
number of customers owned by the company. 3) Cus-
tomer acquisition. Measurement can be done through
the percentage of the number of additional customers.
4) Customer satisfaction. Measurement of the level
of customer satisfaction. 5) Customer profitability.
Measurement of customer profitability can be done
using Activity Based-Costing (ABC) techniques.
c. Internal Process. In this perspective, the com-
pany measures all activities carried out by the com-
pany, both managers and employees to create a prod-
uct, which can provide satisfaction to customers, and
shareholders. In this case, the company focuses on
three main business processes, namely: the innova-
tion process, the operating process, the post-sale pro-
cess.
d. Learning and Growth. Kaplan revealed the im-
portance of a business organization to pay attention

Figure 4: Flowchart for Development Strategy of Integrated
Fleet Weapon System
to its employees, monitor employee welfare, and in-
crease employee knowledge, because with increasing
levels of employee knowledge, it will also increase
the ability of employees to participate in achieving re-
sults and company goals.
3 RESULT AND DISCUSSION
The research was started by data collection by in-
terviewing six expert personnel (E1;E2;E3;E4;E5;E6)
for the development of Integrated Fleet Weapon Sys-
tem (SSAT). After all data were collected, the data
SENTA 2018 - The 3rd International Conference on Marine Technology
188
were categorized into external and internal analy-
sis. SWOT analysis was used in order to know the
strengths and weaknesses in the internal condition re-
garding SSAT development, as well as recognizing
the opportunities and threats.
3.1 Internal Factor Analysis
According to the respondent assessment result, there
were several internal factors which became the
strengths and weaknesses of technological mastery as
mentioned below.
Based on the table above, there were eleven points
in strength analysis factor and thirteen points for
weakness analysis factor which is identifies in inter-
nal factor.
3.2 External Factor Analysis
The respondent assessment result showed that there
were some external factors which became the threats
and opportunities in technological mastery as men-
tioned below :
Based on the identification from various internal
and external factors, the next step was arranged to be
factors of strategy. The existing internal and exter-
nal factors were combined to determine an alternative
for the strategy of navy posture development. In this
following table presented the strategies which were
formulated from the SWOT matrix.
The data from the table above, there were five
points of SO strategy and three points of ST strat-
egy for naval technological mastery, followed by six
points of WO strategy and one point of WT strategy.
They were compilated into fifteen strategies for the
naval technological mastery.
3.3 Identification of Priority and
Strategy Mapping
The arrangement of priority and strategy mapping
was started by creating hierarchy system between pre-
viously identified aspects. The creation of hierarchy
used the Interpretative Structural Modeling approach
method. This method aimed to plan the chosen strat-
egy to be described in the implementation plan ac-
cording to the hierarchical system.
SSIM was the stage to determine the dominant
variables from the SWOT analysis result to know
the interrelation level between sub strategy in
maritime food development.

trix (RM) by changing V, A, X, O into 1 and 0.
ISM Framework Model to SSAT development
strategy. The data development result of SSIM
and RM were made into the sub strategy frame-
work which influenced the SSAT development
strategy
Structure of element above showed that WT-1
strategy was in priority 1, while strategy of ST-1 and
WO-5 was in priority 2, ST-3 strategy was in priority
3, also SO-1 and WO-1 strategy were in priority 4.
In priority 5, there were four strategies namely SO-
2, SO-3, SO-4, and WO-2. Strategy of WO-4 was in
priority 6, WO-3 and ST-2 strategy were in priority 7,
SO-5 strategy was in priority 8 and WO-6 in priority
9.
3.4 Strategy Mapping
Strategy mapping presented a portrayal of how each
work could support the whole strategic achievement
of the organization. Strategy mapping helped the or-
ganization to especially visualize what was needed to
do and support the development strategy of integrated
fleet weapon system.
Strategy mapping would ease the organization ac-
tors to monitor strategy implementation development.
The result from the analysis of strategy mapping de-
sign correlated Balanced Scorecard with the designed
strategy which was the development if integrated fleet
weapon system.
Financial perspective consisted of one strategy
goal to improve defense budget. Internal process per-
spective consisted of nine strategy goals as follows:
1) Big Data Analytic Mastery; 2) Technology Trans-
ferred; 3) Cyber Infrastructure; 4) Autonomous Sys-
tem; 5) Nano Technology Development; 6) Stealth
Technology; 7) Diplomacy Ability; 8) Energy Man-
agement; 9) Technology Development by National In-
dustry. Learning and Growth perspective was made
of four strategy goals namely 1) Blue Print is Real-
ized; 2) Cyber Ability; 3) Cyber and Electronic War-
fare Ability; 4) New Technology for Weapon System.
Customer aspect consisted of one strategy goal, High
Value Research.

and sea transportation route, naval technological-
based maritime management strategy was needed spe-
cially to develop the integrated fleet weapon system
(SSAT) of the Indonesian Navy. Naval technology
development strategy in the integrated fleet weapon
system (SSAT) which was based on naval technol-
ogy was formulated into a strategic management plan
which was based on five points of SO strategy, three
points of ST strategy, six points of WO strategy and
one point of WT strategy that made in fifteen stages
of strategy in the naval technological mastery.
Hierarchical structure in sub strategy element
showed that WT-1 strategy was in priority 1. Besides,
strategy of ST-1 and WO-5 was in priority 2, ST-3
strategy was in priority 3, and SO-1 and WO-1 strat-
egy were in priority 4. There were four strategies in
priority 5 namely SO-2, SO-3, SO-4, and WO-2. Pri-
ority 6 had Strategy of WO-4, WO-3 and ST-2 strat-
egy were in priority 7, SO-5 strategy was in priority 8
and WO-6 in priority 9.
The strategy mapping created in the Balanced
Scorecard structure presented that financial perspec-
tive was made of one strategy target: improvement of
defense budget. Nine strategy targets were in the in-
ternal process perspective, and they were 1) Big Data
Analytic Mastery; 2) Technology Transferred; 3) Cy-
ber Infrastructure; 4) Autonomous System; 5) Nano
Technology Development; 6) Stealth Technology; 7)
Diplomacy Ability; 8) Energy Management; 9) Tech-
nology Development by National Industry. Learn-
ing and Growth perspective was made of four strat-
egy goals namely 1) Blue Print is Realized; 2) Cy-
ber Ability; 3) Cyber and Electronic Warfare Ability;
4) New Technology for Weapon System. In addition,
customer aspect consisted of one strategy goal, High
Value Research.
5 FUTURE WORK
In this research, the strategy implementation needs
to be continued by giving weight on sub strategy.
Besides, estimation of implementation time must be
added to the planning of strategy implementation.
Further development is needed by the making of time-
line and road map as the implementation of continu-
ing strategy.
