Abstract: Indonesia as an archipelagic state has an open sea area and the existence of the Indonesian Archipelago Sea Channel (ALKI) which creates vulnerabilities to various possible threats. Balitbang Kemhan RI has developed a passive radar detection tool that can be used for sensing all activities deemed necessary in national defense, especially for preparation in case of universal war. This paper will analyze the implementation of the existing early detection system using the theory of Lukman Yudho Prakoso (2016) which states that public policy in the defense sector can be achieved well if Integrative, Interactive, Transparency, Controling and Accountability (IITCA) factors are respected. The writing method used is descriptive qualitative literature study. The next writer will formulate a strategy so that the total war strategy can be optimal by operating an early detection system using passive radar. The results showed that the IITCA factor had not been fulfilled in the implementation of the existing early detection system operation defense policy, so that the formulation of a universal war strategy with passive radar operation that would later be implemented had to be integrated, interactive, transparent, had a control system and had to be accountable. As a conclusion, the universal war strategy with the operation of passive radar made by the Indonesian Ministry of Defense Balitbang, is very effective in achieving defense objectives in maintaining and protecting the sovereignty of the country, the territorial integrity of the Republic of Indonesia and the safety of the entire nation from all forms of threats.

Introduction
The development of defense technology has forced every country to modernize its military equipment. The modernization of the defense equipment includes increasing the capability of missile technology, radar and fighter aircraft as well as the codal communication system. This also has an effect on increasing threats to the defense and security of a country. Western countries are developing combat aircraft capable of stealth, where the aircraft can escape from active enemy radar. Because these planes are made of materials that can absorb electromagnetic waves with radar cross sction which is so small that it cannot reflect electromagnetic waves. Meanwhile, the eastern bloc countries, especially Russia,
