Desenvolvimento de simuladores nacionais de navegação marítima: uma questão de autonomia tecnológica e de Defesa Nacional

Abstract

This work aims to analysealternativesfor the development of national technology of the simulators for maritime navigation, in order to achieve technological autonomy in this sector, as it is a relevant issue regarding technological independence, both for the civil segment and for the segmentmilitary. Thus, it was necessary to present along this work: concepts related to the simulation, study of the use of these simulators in the training of Officers, both the Brazilian Navy and the Merchant Navy, an analysis of existing public policies to promote the development of national technology and the presentation of national institutions that are developing this type of technology. These institutions showed that Brazil has the necessary and sufficient conditions to have autonomy in this sector. It was also considered the importance of encouraging the development of national technology through partnerships between the Armed Forces, Universities and Companies, in order to guarantee autonomy in this area and meet the country's defense demands.
