Manutenção das fragatas classe Tamandaré: um estudo sobre terceirização

Abstract

The importance of the sea today is fundamental to the development of any state. Having a strong fleet, with ships that can guarantee hegemony at sea is crucial within this context. Once incorporated, the Tamandaré Frigate Class will need effective maintenance, so that they are kept active in order to fulfill the tasks for which they were designed, in the best possible way, acting in the Defense of Maritime Traffic, in order to prevent or dissuade actions that represent a threat in Brazilian Jurisdictional Waters and Maritime Communication Lines, where national interests are present, under the terms of international law, in addition to implementing oversight and protection of economic activities developed in our Blue Amazon. The expectation is that this maintenance will guarantee a percentage of disponibility of the frigates that attends to the fleet. An unavailable navy resource due to lack of maintenance is a totally undesirable situation. A well-equipped, trained and prepared Navy, capable of watching over the AJB, inspires respect and makes hostile actions and aggressions less likely. This study proposes to list some hiring options for the maintenance of the Tamandaré Frigate Class, pointing out alternatives which cost / benefit are appropriate to the conditions and expectancies of the Brazilian Navy
