Vol. 7 No. 1 (2021): ANALISIS PENGGUNAAN SWIMMER DELIVERY VEHICLE (SDV) DALAM OPERASI INFILTRASI SEBAGAI BAGIAN DARI PENGAWASAN DAN PENGAMANAN GARIS BATAS INDONESIA

This paper discusses the importance of conducting surveillance and securing the Indonesian border by TNI soldiers. In carrying out infiltration missions, the Frog Troop Command Unit (Satkopaska) of the Indonesian Navy often has to be released from the ship to the target at a distance far enough to avoid enemy detection. For this mission, soldiers can be released from the submarine's torpedo tubes or via SDV (Swimmer Delivery Vehicle). The purpose of this study was to examine the range of release of soldiers to enemy territorial areas, the impact of the distance and depth of dives to soldiers when aiming for the target area, and the impact of diseases caused by diving in the sea. This study uses a descriptive analysis method. From the research results, it is known that diving into enemy territory without SCUBA equipment can only be carried out at a depth of less than 10 meters with a maximum duration of 2 hours. The length and depth of dives carried out by trained soldiers does not affect the health and safety of soldiers. The release process starting from the release of the SDV from the submarine and the release of soldiers from the SDV to the enemy's territory needs to take into account the range, depth of underwater transportation, and the length of operation in the target area.
