Improving Decision-Making Capabilities in a Complex Air Combat Environment

Abstract

This study aims to improve the decision-making ability of Indonesian Air Force pilots in a complex air combat environment by establishing a special school for pilots. The study results indicate that establishing an air combat school is very important to overcome the challenges of rapid decision-making in dynamic and uncertain situations. In addition, realistic exercises, such as Mission-Oriented Training (MOT) and Composite Air Operations (COMAO), play an important role in improving the combat readiness of pilots. This school is also expected to function as a center for developing air combat tactics and strategies and providing comprehensive training for all Indonesian Air Force pilots. With the establishment of this school, synergy will be created between various air power units to strengthen the combat capability of the Indonesian Air Force in maintaining Indonesia's air sovereignty. It is hoped that the Indonesian Air Force can immediately establish an air combat school that focuses on developing the operational capabilities of pilots through realistic exercises and international collaboration.
