Abstract

The principle of sovereignty in air space has a very close relationship with the sovereignty that applies in the sea and land areas of a country. Sovereignty over the airspace of a country needs to be safeguarded from various threats, especially in the current era of rapidly developing technology, where airspace plays a very significant role. It is to consider that the airspace is the used in three (3) different categories, namely as a means of aviation and aerospace, satellites and space infrastructures and transmission, telecommunications, information and cyber. The research was conducted to identify and formulate the concurrent types of threats to sovereignty in the airspace in order to build an effective air defense system. A neatly categorization of air space threats based on types dan media and their impact on sovereignty over air space will support the right strategy of air defense. This study uses a quasiqualitative method with a phenomenological approach. A research method that uses network analysis and intelligence analysis to describe the relationship between actors and for the impact of threats on various aspects of the state related to air defense. Both analyzes are supported by studies using 4 PEST factors, namely Political, Economic, Social, and Technological factors. The result of this study is an extracted nine (9) forms of air threats in their correlation with the objective of any potential attacks.
