Multi-Agent Drone as Loitering Munition System to Support Military Operations Carrying Out Policy Mandate

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) also known as drones is a part of the integration of hardware, software and computerized systems to support defense. The use of drones, especially to support military operations, will be more powerful if used massively and equipped with certain explosives as target destroyers. The target in question can be designated for point targets or target areas that are quite large in accordance with the integrated explosive composition texture. The attack or combat drone technology that is currently being considered in carrying out operational missions is the Loitering Munition System (LMS). LMS is a drone that is used as a weapon equipped with certain explosives and commits suicide (kamikaze) in groups or swarms. PT. "EnrolSistem Indonesia" is one of the drone technology activists in Indonesia that has made hardware, software and computerized systems that are able to fly 3 MiniBe drones together. In this paper, we will develop a swarmbased kamikaze drone or suicide drone based on MiniBe. Drones will be flown 3 units at once and will commit "suicide" on a predetermined target location in the form of a point or area. Drones will be used to paralyze operational targets including operational support in the form of enemy command posts, enemy or terrorist hideouts including radar antenna equipment, telecommunication antennas, surveillance centers and so on with more devastating power if drones equipped with certain explosives are used in swarms. This innovation will be encouraged as a domestic capability, especially local content in the drone sector to support military operations in Indonesia and is also a mandate from Law 16/2012 concerning the Defense Industry, along with its implementing regulations, namely Government Regulation No. 76/2014 on the implementation of countertrade, local content and offsets and Minister of Defense Rule 39/2016 Development of Defense Industrial Technology. It is hoped that this LMS innovation can support the fulfillment of one of the Defense and Security Equipment Tools independently.
