Studi pertahanan memiliki pemikiran bahwa inovasi militer suatu negara memiliki kaitan dengan politik luar negeri suatu negara; kemudian memberikan motivasi bagi mereka untuk melakukan diplomasi pertahanan. Namun, masih sedikit akademisi yang memberikan perhatiannya dalam hal industri pertahanan, khususnya berkaitan dengan negara middle power dan new emerging power. Penelitian ini bertujuan menjelaskan hubungan antara faktor-faktor pendorong dengan kebijakan Indonesia dalam melakukan kerjasama industri pertahanan dengan Turki. Temuan penelitian ini adalah partisipasi sipil dalam inovasi militer dan kepentingan nasional strategis merupakan faktor penting yang mendorong kerjasama tersebut. Kerjasama Indonesia-Turki meliputi riset dan pengembangan, produksi dan pemasaran bersama beberapa alat peralatan pertahanan dan keamanan. Penelitian ini menggunakan konsep inovasi militer dan diplomasi pertahanan dan melihat bahwa Indonesia mengejar agenda kemandirian teknologi pertahanab. Untuk itu, Indonesia mulai melebarkan relasi pertahanan di luar mitra tradisionalnya.Kata kunci: kerjasama, industri pertahanan, partisipasi sipil, kepentingan nasional strategis, diplomasi pertahanan. The study of defense sees that military innovations has a connection to foreign policy; therefore, motivate them to conduct defense diplomacy. However, just few scholars have their concern to defense industry subject, especially amongst middle power and new emerging power. This paper aims to explain the interaction between causal factors and Indonesia’s cooperation policy with Turkey in term of defense industry. The research has found that civilian participation within military innovation and strategic national interests were supposed to be significant determinants which encouraged the state to agree on defense industry cooperation with Turkey. The cooperation included joint research and development, production and potential sale of armaments. The research applied the concept of civil-led military innovation as well as defense diplomacy and argues that Indonesia has been pursuing its defense technology independence. Therefore, it diversifies its defense relation beyond its traditional partners.Keywords: cooperation, defense industry, civilian participation, strategic national interest, defense diplomacy.

The progress of globalization has made every country to cooperate internationally to fulfill its national interests. Indonesia sees opportunities from France as a country that has the more advanced technology from Indonesia. In education, France is a country that has the best system. France saw a joint research opportunity to do both so that both of them agreed to make cooperation conducted by the Ministry of Research and Higher Education (Kemristek Higher Education) at the French Embassy in the meeting of the Joint Working Group in the field of Research and Higher Education. Until the eighth meeting from 2009 to 2016, continue to discuss what programs will get done. But in reality, in 2012 until 2016, participants from the scholarships given by Kemristek Dikti decreased. From the decline, it gets seen that the delay factor of fund given to the scholarship recipients makes the students feel hampered in doing their activities, besides the lack of socialization of this scholarship which makes the students who want to seek for learning to France do not know about this scholarship program

The main goal of the Generation-IV nuclear-energy systems is to address the fundamental research and development issues necessary for establishing the viability of next-generation reactor concepts to meet future needs for clean and reliable energy production. Generation-IV reactor concepts are being developed to use more advanced materials, coolants and higher burn-ups fuels, while keeping a nuclear reactor safe and reliable. One of the six Generation-IV concepts is a SuperCritical Water-cooled Reactor (SCWR), which continues the utilization of well-known light-water-reactor technologies. Research Centre Rez Ltd. has taken part in a large European joint-research project dedicated to Generation-IV light-water reactors with objectives to contribute to the fundamental research and development of the SCWRs by designing and building a test facility called “SuperCritical Water Loop (SCWL)”. The main objective of this loop is to serve as an experimental facility for in-core and out-of-core corrosion studies of structural materials, testing and optimization of suitable water chemistry for future SCWRs, studies of water radiolysis at supercritical conditions and nuclear fuels. This paper summarizes the concept of the SCWL, its design, utilization and first results obtained from non-active tests already performed within the supercritical-water conditions.

This chapter examines various areas of defense technology, with a philosophy that might be described as “physics for poets.” The chapter provides information on the contemporary state of technology and projections for the future. It reviews broad trends across many areas of military technology, including cyber and artificial intelligence, as well as robotics, directed energy, and stealth. With a goal of making these important subjects accessible to a general audience, it suggests methods by which nonspecialists can make inroads into understanding them. The chapter surveys a wide range of military technologies, with a particular eye toward assessing whether collectively they can be used to revolutionize warfare in the coming years and decades. Ultimately, the chapter's category-by-category examination of military technology employs the same basic framework in the 2000 Technological Change and the Future of Warfare. The core of that book was an analysis of ongoing and likely future developments in various categories of military-related technologies.

Many military-related innovation approaches can be followed, such as doctrinal, tactical changes, and innovations in the organizational structure of military units. These approaches examine innovation in its historical context and flow. Defense industries of the countries are an indicator of their power in the international arena and develop new war weapons, systems, and equipment with innovation. Innovations turn it into economic power. Militaries are the most important customers of the defense industries. From the design of the products to the feedback of the last user, the defense industry, and military are in mutual interaction. Military culture, which is shaped in the light of the experiences gained with blood on the battlefield and has its dynamics, is one of the main phenomena in the acceptance of innovations and shaping the culture of military innovation. In this chapter, the authors examine the contribution of the defense industry and military employees to innovation in these innovation processes and the organizational acceptance processes offered to the use of these innovations.
