AHP-Based Evaluation of UAV Platforms for Maritime Surveillance Across Indonesia’s Archipelagic Sea Lanes

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Indonesia’s vast archipelagic waters and strategic Archipelagic Sea Lanes (ALKI I, II, and III) demand effective maritime surveillance. This study applies the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to evaluate Fixed-Wing, Rotary-Wing, and Hybrid VTOL UAVs across six criteria: range, endurance, payload, launch flexibility, weather resilience, and communication. Results indicate Hybrid VTOL UAVs as the most suitable overall, particularly for ALKI II and III, while Fixed-Wing UAVs best fit ALKI I, and Rotary-Wing UAVs serve tactical short-range needs. A region-specific UAV deployment strategy is recommended to strengthen maritime security and guide defense procurement.
