Jakarta, INTI - The development of embedded electronic technology in underwater detection and acoustic systems has become a strategic issue. This is because Indonesia, as an archipelagic nation, increasingly needs to maintain its sovereignty, security, and utilization of marine resources.
This technology enables the development of precise, robust, and energy-efficient detection systems to operate in complex underwater environments, ranging from high pressure, temperature variations, to the characteristics of sound wave propagation.
"Mastery of underwater acoustic technology is key to understanding conditions in waters that cannot be reached visually, while also opening up broad opportunities for research and innovation in the maritime sector," said Prof. Yusuf Nur Wijayanto, Head of the Electronics Research Center at BRIN.
Indonesia’s Geographical Landscape Demands Resilient Tech Solutions
Yusuf emphasized embedded electronic technology and underwater acoustic systems need to be understood by the public and scientific community today.
"Underwater technology is no longer just an option, but has become a pillar of national defense and resilience that must be mastered independently. Indonesia's geographical challenges demand technological solutions that can operate independently, are compact, power-efficient, and yet have high data processing capabilities directly in the underwater environment," he said.
He also highlighted the vast research potential that can be explored from underwater acoustic phenomena. The complexity of underwater conditions is seen as a strategic opportunity to generate new innovations, intellectual property, and applicable underwater electronics technology products.
Conclusion
Indonesia is strengthening the development of embedded electronic and underwater acoustic technologies to support maritime security, sovereignty, and marine resource management. According to BRIN researcher Prof. Yusuf Nur Wijayanto, these technologies are essential for operating in complex underwater environments and have become a key pillar of national resilience. He emphasized the need for independent, compact, energy-efficient systems with strong underwater data processing capabilities.
