Geospatial Intelligence for Land Defense the Nation's Capital

Abstract

The design plan for the location of the Indonesian state capital in East Borneo has not considered the defense aspect. As the center of gravity (CoG), the capital city symbolizes state sovereignty. This study aims to create a state defense model for the location of the national capital using geospatial intelligence (GEOINT). The method used is descriptive quantitative. The primary data is survey and mapping results using drones, secondary data from aerial photographs and satellite imagery, and defense object data from social media. From the combination of the physical and socio-cultural data, a gap in defense was found, primarily if the attack occurred by land. So that additional defense is needed, especially land defense bordering Malaysia.
