There are extensive missile batteries and related units are in readiness. The slightly scary part is the number of reservists who would be made active to serve as defence for the batteries. But I guess that sort of force strengthening is inevitable.
By the time China (more likely than Indonesia) directly attacks
we may well be on our own
facing temporary occupation of the top third or half of the country.
At which point the more esoteric weapon systems would come out for good and all.

The single hardest thing for me, then and now, as a confirmed skeptic sceptic is to get my head into and around the nonhuman intelligence stuff.
