Abstract: Maritime security patrol is a presence operation of the sea which has a strategic value for the nation’s sovereignty existence and maritime security in the areas of national jurisdiction of a country. Security threats and breaches in the sea in the form of illegal fishing, illegal logging and other natural resources as well as encroachment by Foreign vessels requires the presence of navy patrol ships for security and navy fleet as support. Limited number of navy patrol ships lack of provided by the state budget and the needs of homeland security resulted in the territorial sea need more thinking about optimizing the assignment of patrol ships in the navy operations sector. The placement of the navy fleet take into account the ship type, speed, radar range, sailing abilities (endurance) and human resources, so that, it results the optimization of the assignment composition of some navy patrol ships to the naval operation sectors by maximizing the coverage area and minimizing operational costs. Covering technique method is used to select the navy fleet by minimizing the number of navy fleet which can cover and replace other fleet. The Binary Matrix Decision Variable (BMDV) is the model of the assignment patrol ships and the placement of navy fleet to the naval operation sectors.
