The focus of these trials was to assess the UAV’s performance in target detection and its potential role in supporting field artillery operations. These trials, which saw participation from the Chief of the Army Artillery Center, along with the Directors of Equipment, Training, and Material and Equipment, are part of an ongoing assessment regarding the potential use of the Alpha A900 UAVs by the Indonesian Coast Guard to monitor maritime sectors and identify anomalies within Indonesian territorial waters.
