The security of aviation navigation facilities is an essential aspect of maintaining the continuity and safety of air navigation services. However, remote navigation stations frequently encounter challenges related to limited electrical infrastructure and inadequate surveillance systems, increasing the risk of unauthorized access, equipment theft, and operational disruptions. This study aims to develop and evaluate a solar-powered Internet of Things (IoT)-based Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) surveillance system designed for remote Distance VHF Omnidirectional Range (DVOR) facilities operated by Air Navigation Indonesia. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE development model, consisting of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages. The developed system integrates photovoltaic panels, charge controllers, rechargeable batteries, mini uninterruptible power supply (UPS), Wi-Fi-enabled CCTV cameras, and smartphone-based remote monitoring applications. System performance was evaluated through functional testing, power supply stability assessment, battery backup testing, internet connectivity verification, and expert validation. Experimental results demonstrated that the prototype operated reliably under various weather conditions while maintaining uninterrupted surveillance during electrical outages. Expert validation indicated an average feasibility score of 94.45%, confirming that the developed system satisfies operational requirements for remote aviation surveillance. The proposed solution provides a cost-effective, environmentally sustainable, and scalable alternative for enhancing aviation security in locations where conventional electrical infrastructure is unavailable. Future studies should investigate long-term operational performance under different environmental conditions and integrate artificial intelligence for automated threat detection.
