Abstract: The rapid development of information and communication technology in the 21st century has brought about great changes in the world of warfare. In this context, the Air Defense Artillery Corps (Arhanud) as one of the vital components in Indonesia's air defense, is faced with new challenges in facing the fifth generation war (5GW). Fifth-generation warfare does not only involve physical combat, but also includes non-conventional warfare through the influence of social media, cyber warfare, disinformation, and psychological operations that can affect national stability. This paper aims to examine how the Arhanud Corps should prepare to face more complex threats in the context of fifth-generation warfare. The main focus of this paper is on improving operational readiness, utilizing advanced technology, and adapting to information war challenges. It is hoped that this paper can provide strategic insights for the future development of Arhanud in dealing with threats that arise in the current digital era.
