Industrial Revolution 4.0 is a revolutionary change based on information technology marked by the emergence of digital technology, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, Big Data, and unmanned systems as well. This study examines the influence of the presence of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 on the national defense perspective to find new technologies and implement human resource development strategies using the method of review of literature in descriptive. Information technology has a role to completely replace various activities and the quality of human action. Advances in information technology development have become increasingly competitive and have consequences for applications in formulating defense strategies. This study examines academic perspectives using qualitative methods through the analysis of literature studies from various sources such as books, journals, and others, to develop modern defense strategies using information technology of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. The conclusion of the research shows that the use of information technology in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 facilitates the process of making decisions and policies more quickly, precisely, and accurately in developing a modern national defense strategy.
