Design of Antasena: an AI-powered maritime surveillance and anomaly detection system for security decision support

Abstract

Indonesia’s vast maritime territory faces serious challenges from illegal fishing, smuggling, and habitat destruction. To address these, the Indonesian Navy (TNI-AL) developed Antasena, an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered smart dashboard integrating automatic identification system (AIS) data, satellite imagery, and conservation metrics. Antasena leverages advanced anomaly detection algorithms, achieving 95.3% accuracy, 94.7% precision, 94.2% recall, and a 96.8% receiver operating characteristic-area under the curve (ROC-AUC) score in identifying vessel anomalies, including unauthorized fishing and smuggling activities. Using the analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate (ADDIE) framework, the system supports real-time maritime surveillance and biodiversity monitoring in conservation zones. The main contributions of this study include the development of a user-centric AI-based dashboard for maritime anomaly detection, the integration of multi-source data with machine learning models, and validation through operational field tests with maritime authorities. Antasena offers a scalable and effective solution to strengthen maritime security and protect Indonesia’s marine resources.
