Abstract

The development of national Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology represents a strategic imperative that requires immediate implementation. This study provides strategic recommendations to strengthen Indonesia’s UAV industry by employing SWOT analysis, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), and the Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM). Sixteen key internal and external factors were identified, with SWOT mapping situating UAVs in Quadrant I (Aggressive Strategy) at coordinates +1.24 and +0.60. AHP prioritization indicates that the strengths–opportunities (S–O) strategy (0.348) is of highest importance, emphasizing infrastructure enhancement and the adoption of advanced technologies. IFAS–EFAS integration confirms Wulung UAV’s aggressive growth position, while internal strengths account for 37.1% of overall strategic influence. QSPM analysis further validates the S–O strategy as optimal, with the highest internal (4.88) and external competitive (4.63) impact scores. Implementation of this strategy necessitates immediate action focused on manufacturing infrastructure enhancement, technological adoption, development of technical human capital, organizational capability strengthening, establishment of a domestic supply chain and supporting industries, and enforcement of robust industrial governance.
