AAL is a military educational institution that requires a supply of safe and high-quality drinking water for the Cadets so that the learning and training process can run smoothly. This study covers the daily drinking water needs of AAL Cadets, the current condition of the drinking water supply, and the concept of the RO machine itself in the Candrasa complex by utilizing PDAM water to produce healthy and suitable drinking water for AAL Cadets. The results of this study are expected to increase the availability of clean and safe drinking water for AAL cadets, facilitate drinking water distribution in the Candrasa complex, support their quality of life during their education, training, and foster care, and help maintain their health and safety. This study also underscores the importance of efficient and sustainable water management in the military environment.

The Indonesian Naval Academy (AAL) is a military educational institution responsible for training young officers for the Indonesian Navy. The learning process at AAL is structured thru classroom theory, field practice, and direct simulations, including using the Engine Room Simulator (ERS) located under the Department of Engineering. The ERS is an important facility for supporting the technical mastery of ship engines for cadets. The operation of this simulator is highly dependent on the supply of electrical energy, with a total electrical power requirement of 14.36 kW. Thru this research, the author aims to design a hybrid solar energy system that can combine electrical energy from the PLN grid with alternative energy from sunlight. The potential for solar energy in the Indonesian Navy Academy area is very large. The average sunlight intensity in the Surabaya area over 1 year per hour is 208.33 W/m2. Therefore, in the design study, the author chose the Solar PV Lesso HPM series 550W solar panel, which has a power of 550W, an efficiency of 21.3%, and an area per panel of 2.583 m2. Based on the calculations obtained, the author used 126 solar panels with an area of 323.64 m2, as well as 24 Panasonic LC-P12100NA batteries with a voltage of 12 V and a capacity of 100 Ah, installed in 3 series and 8 parallel circuits.

Indonesia's dependence on fossil energy, which reaches 98%, results in high CO₂ emissions and energy costs. This study aims to design a wind energy system to meet electricity needs at the Arafuru Field of the Indonesian Navy Academy (AAL), which is strategically located near the coast with adequate wind potential. A quantitative research method was used by collecting wind speed data for three months (January-March 2025) at coordinates 7.21755° S, 112.71022° E. The data shows an average wind speed of 2.32 m/s with unpredictable direction. Based on the analysis, the SH-X 10000 vertical wind turbine was selected as the most suitable solution. Calculation results show that one turbine unit can generate power of 104,999 watts, so to meet the total power requirement of 109,120 watts, at least 2 wind turbine units are needed. This system not only reduces dependence on PLN and fossil energy but also has the potential to reduce CO₂ emissions and can be utilized as a learning laboratory for AAL cadets. The implementation of wind energy at AAL's Arafuru Field is expected to be a concrete step in the transition towards renewable energy in the military environment.

Data collection was conducted through direct observation of building conditions, electrical equipment, and solar radiation intensity data in Surabaya. The research results show that the total electricity requirement for lighting in the Sapudi Building is 4.686 kW with a total of 143 lights (96 neon lights and 47 light bulbs). Based on calculations with an average solar radiation of 5.00 kWh/m²/day, the designed system requires 41 units of Solar PV Lesso HPM 550W panel type with 21.3% efficiency and 9 units of Panasonic LC-P12100NA batteries with a capacity of 100Ah arranged in 3 series and 3 parallel configurations. This study proves that the utilization of solar energy can be an efficient and sustainable alternative solution to reduce dependence on conventional electricity in the AAL environment, while supporting the implementation of renewable energy in Indonesian military institutions.

Reliable and sustainable lighting is crucial for supporting practical activities in a military educational environment, particularly in the Engineering Laboratory Workshop (Labtek) of the Naval Academy. The main problem faced is complete dependence on electricity supply from PLN, which is prone to disruptions and outages, thus impacting the safety and effectiveness of technical activities. Therefore, this research aims to design a solar-powered emergency lighting system as an environmentally friendly and efficient alternative lighting solution. This research uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with a case study approach at the Naval Technology Laboratory (Labtek) of the Naval Academy (AAL). The stages include power requirement analysis, direct observation of building and lighting conditions, selection of solar energy system components, and calculation of solar panel and battery capacity. Based on the analysis results, the total emergency power requirement of 1.96 kW can be met using 100 Wp monocrystalline solar panels and 12V 100Ah batteries for energy storage.The system design consists of solar panels, a solar charge controller, batteries, and LED lights that automatically turn on when the power goes out. Simulation results show that the system is capable of providing emergency lighting for 6–10 hours, depending on sunlight intensity and battery capacity. The implementation of this system not only improves the reliability of Labtek facilities but also supports nat ional clean energy policies and long-term operational cost efficiency.

This study aims to analyze the transformation of the educational pattern at the Indonesian Naval Academy (AAL) from a four-year to a three-year system and its impact on graduate competencies and operational readiness. This educational system change responds to budget efficiency needs and accelerated officer formation filling, yet raises questions about the new system's ability to maintain the quality of officer education. The research employs a mixed methods approach with a concurrent embedded design, involving 250 respondents comprising graduates from both educational systems, AAL instructors, and unit commanders receiving graduates. Quantitative data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (independent sample t-test and regression), while qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews, observations, and document studies analyzed using thematic analysis. Results indicate no significant difference in overall Grade Point Average (GPA) between the two groups (p=0.470), but significant differences in competency patterns emerged: four-year system graduates excelled in theoretical competencies (p=0.001), while three-year system graduates excelled in practical competencies (p=0.003). Operational readiness evaluation shows that four-year system graduates obtained higher scores (82.5) compared to three-year system graduates (78.3), with significant differences (p=0.012), particularly in strategic leadership and complex decision-making aspects. Qualitative analysis identified five major themes: high learning time pressure, orientation shift from comprehensive to pragmatic, gaps in character formation and corps values, concerns about theoretical understanding depth, and need for more intensive post-graduation mentoring programs. This study concludes that educational time compression successfully increased operational efficiency but involved trade-offs in learning depth and professional maturity. To optimize the three-year educational system, a comprehensive approach is required, including curriculum revision with integrated learning methods, utilization of modern learning technology, strengthening of leadership development programs, and development of continuous professional mentoring systems. The recommendations of this research are expected to provide input for AAL and the Indonesian Navy in refining the officer education system to produce officers who are not only technically competent but also mature in leadership and strong in character.
