Analysis of The Effect of Operator Capability and System Integration on Missile Firing in Archipelagic Warfare

Abstract

In present, missile is one of the weapons that along with the warship include fast patrol boat. The development of missile weaponry on warships grows rapidly along with technological developments. Armament technology including the firing control system has now entered the automation stage of the firing process. Automation process from aiming, data calculating until firing execution. Armament technology is a complete system by combining sensor systems, data processing systems, and firing decisions. This system is connected automatically as a firing system. Integration of a weapon system is sometimes not in a fully connected state. Disintegration that occurs generally on data connections regarding targets. Disintegeration of targeted data systems requires the role of humans as operators as executors of data input. Automatic data input will be different from data charging done by humans. This study discusses the importance of system integration and the ability of operators to carry out shootings in naval battles in an archipelago such as Indonesia. The hope to be obtained is as a basis for selecting weapons systems and the ability of operators to procure weapons for fast patrol boats.
