A Defesa Aeroespacial das Plataformas de Exploração/Explotação de Petróleo no Mar: uma proposta

Abstract

The Aerospace Defense drilling platforms / petroleum exploitation at sea remains a challenge to the Brazilian Armed Forces because of the sovereignty that is intended to ensure at the Blue Amazon. Even without a definition of how to run such defense, the implementation of surveillance means, the coordinated action between Brazil’s Air Force and Navy, as well as the compliance with the critical criteria of depth and systemic integration leads to a unique and acceptable solution. The study presents an analysis of priority region of the Blue Amazon to be defended, given its important oilfield with the purpose of delimiting the sensitive area. For the area in question, the solution presented does not address the technical aspects or the cost of deployment, but the doctrinal aspects and, based on worldwide experiences of defense, argues for the feasibility of establishing a structure of fixed speed cameras in both platforms offshore and on land, complemented by mobile detection means. Meeting the arguments, it is clear the COMDABRA’s responsibility, the Central Organ of SISDABRA, for the normative instructions, supervision and operational command in the actions of the Aerospace Defense offshore oil platforms, as well as the Brazil’s Navy participation integrating it, through specific means to SISDABRA.
