O desenvolvimento de tecnologias de caráter dual pela indústria de defesa brasileira: os desafios atuais da Indústria Nacional de Defesa - Tecnologia naval dual e novas tendências

Abstract

Developing countries such as Brazil have struggled to generate, naturally, in their domestic markets, demand for defense products to sustain their own industries for the production of those goods. In order to mitigate the problem, the Brazilian government has sought in recent years, through special legislation, to encourage domestic companies to develop defense products within the country and thereby contribute to the development of the economy and at the same time, generate its own technology in this sector which is critical to minimize external dependence. Similarly, other countries, especially those that make up the Inter- American Defense Board (IADB), also sought to generate stimuli for the self-development of defense products, especially those of dual character. These products, which have military use but may be used in civil means, in certain cases, are presented as an important alternative for companies focused on the production of military equipment to become economically viable, especially in developing countries as Brazil. The thesis aims at, using the methodology of research by means of literature, studying the guidelines issued by the governments of countries of the IADB and Spain, which are directed to products or dual technologies. Furthermore, to present a definition for "dual knowledge" in order to subsequently propose measures aimed at identifying places where this knowledge is concentrated. From this study, It will be possible the identification of good practices in those countries that can be implemented in Brazil and that are of interest of the Brazilian Navy. Examples of the use of this dual-knowledge will be presented, knowledge which made the development of these naval dual use products possible. Finally, to propose the implementation of measures that can contribute, at some point in time, to the development of our economy sectors related to dual- use goods, and their control, in particular those of relevance to the Brazilian Navy.
