National defense serves as the main guard in protecting the territorial integrity and security of the nation from various threats. The dynamics of the strategic environment demand updates in the development of human resources in the defense sector to support sustainable national development. Leadership practices are critical in achieving organizational effectiveness, especially in strategic industries such as aviation manufacturing. This research aims to explore and evaluate leadership development practices in the aviation manufacturing industry. This research uses a qualitative method approach to gain a comprehensive understanding of the leadership development program. The research collected primary and secondary data and analyzed the qualitative data collected to dig deeper into the underlying processes, providing a richer contextual interpretation of the observed phenomena. The research collected qualitative data by conducting interviews with stakeholders in leadership development in the company. Data collection included demographics and valuable insights from each stakeholder and was documented through transcripts and notes. The qualitative analysis stage used NVivo for coding and themes which will result in the extraction of codes and themes from the interviews that will provide in-depth insights through the identification of main themes and subthemes, code mapping and data categorization, context and relationship analysis, and data visualization. The research findings show that there are a number of challenges in the implementation of this program, including the absence of measurable evaluation, lack of consistency in procedures, less in-depth implementation, and less than optimal use of learning technologies. These weaknesses limit the organization's ability to improve performance and long-term sustainability. Based on the analysis of findings, opportunities for program development include establishing a measurable evaluation framework, developing a standardized framework, and implementing a holistic feedback mechanism. In addition, upgrading the learning management system to cope with the digital age is a priority to maximize effective and efficient learning.
