Base Industrial de Defesa : estudo de caso do desenvolvimento do novo conjunto camuflado do CFN – aplicação do modelo da Triplice Helice na MB

Abstract

In Brazil, Triple Helix model was adopted by the National Defense Strategy (END) for projects in the Defense Sector. This work aims to study a case of application of this model in the development of combat uniforms that took place between 2018 and 2020 and culminated in the first acquisition using the legal framework provided by Law No. 12,598 / 12. The process was dynamic, with the active participation of the three actors, highlighting the dynamics proposed by the Triple Helix model, which, however, still needs to be improved to reach its ideal balance. These projects for the development of Strategic Defense Products (PED) acquired through Special Bidding Terms (TLE) present an opportunity for the Brazilian Navy (MB) to streamline its procurement processes, in addition to promoting the nationalization of essential products for the execution of the final activities of the force, contribute to the reorganization of the Industrial Defense Base (IDB) and to the economic development of the country. In addition, the classification of combat uniforms with PED shows that special purpose clothing has assumed a new degree of importance for defense activities, assuming the status of highly complex Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as will be shown throughout this work. The PED development project also opened up the possibility of inserting the Brazilian Textile and Clothing Sector in the IDB in order to diversify this industrial base, contributing to its reorganization. The methodology used was, at first, a literature review, followed by a document review, a case study and, finally, semi-structured interviews.
