According to a report by the Coordinating Ministry for Political and Security Affairs (Kemenko Polkam), the national minimum essential force (MEF) target has not been achieved by 2024.

Based on Presidential Regulation Number 41 of 2010, MEF is the minimum core strength standard for the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI).

This core strength is a basic prerequisite for the TNI to effectively carry out its duties and functions, especially in deterring and confronting actual threats.

MEF development is carried out by enhancing the capabilities of combat units, one of which is through fulfilling the needs for primary weapon systems.

The government targeted the TNI's core strength to meet 72% of the minimum standard by 2020, and to continuously increase to reach 100% by 2024.

However, in reality, as of 2024, the TNI's core strength has only reached 64.87% of the minimum standard, as shown in the graph.

According to Kemenko Polkam, achieving the MEF target requires contributions from the defense industry. However, the capabilities of the domestic defense industry are still considered limited, particularly in terms of technology.

"The role of the domestic defense industry in pursuing the realization of TNI's MEF is highly needed to close the gap between expected needs and limited budgetary capabilities," Kemenko Polkam stated in its 2024 Performance Report.

"The contribution of the defense industry in fulfilling the TNI's needs is limited to medium-type primary weapon systems and is not comparable to producing defense industry engineering equivalent to those made by the US, Russia, Germany, Turkey, South Korea, and China," they said.
