Compartilhamento de informações no combate ás novas ameaças no Sudeste Asiático: Benchmark para o Centro Integrado de Segurança Marítima, visando o incremento da Consciência Situacional Marítima

Abstract

The Brazilian maritime space in its jurisdictional waters is approximately 3.6 million km2. The state claims the extension of the continental shelf boundaries beyond 200 nautical miles, which could extend the maritime space to 4.5 million km2, this area is called Blue Amazon®. Brazil also calls for recognition of the Rio Grande elevation, a maritime area about 1.3 thousand km off the coast of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, which would increase maritime space to 5.5 million km2. The 2016 National Defense Strategy emphasizes that Naval Power must detect, identify and neutralize actions that pose threats to the lines of communication and the Blue Amazon. This requires maritime domain awareness, an effective understanding of everything that affects maritime security and safety, a concept that has evolved to maritime situational awareness within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. This understanding is not immediately acquired, and most often depends on information sharing between states, agencies, and the armed forces. In December 2018, the Maritime Traffic Naval Control Command became the Integrated Maritime Security Center of the Brazilian Navy, incorporating new tasks. The purpose of this work is to identify improvement opportunities for the Brazilian Navy Integrated Maritime Security Center to increase maritime situational awareness through comparison with the Singapore Navy Information Fusion Center.
