O emprego da Empresa Gerencial de Projetos Navais (EMGEPRON) na obtenção de Produtos de Defesa (PRODE) para as Forças Armadas: um estudo de caso

Abstract

This monography discusses the search for solutions to the difficulties faced by the Brazilian Armed Forces related to the purchase of Defense Products (PRODE) in the amount necessary to properly conduct their final activities, considering the recurrent budgetary constraints, especially with regard to resources for the realization of investments. This situation has worsened since 2017, with the enactment of Constitutional Amendment nº 95, which created the New Fiscal Regime, which established, for 20 years, ceilings for public expenditure in various sectors. The objective of this study is to identify how the new model adopted since 2017 by the Naval Project Management Company (Empresa Gerencial de Projetos Navais – EMGEPRON) for the acquisition of naval resources for the Brazilian Navy could be used to obtain other PRODE for the Armed Forces. Regarding the adopted methodology, this research is classified, for its purposes, in exploratory, descriptive and applied; and for its means, in bibliographical, documentary and case study. Through bibliographic and documentary research, this study analyses the characteristics and peculiarities of Brazilian public companies, in general, and EMGEPRON, in particular, considering its nature as a public company that is not dependent on public resources. This research also describes the company's capitalization model, implemented since 2017, for the Restoration of the Core of Brazilian Naval Power, through the construction of the new Tamandaré Class Corvettes. In conclusion, this monography indicates possibilities of using the mentioned model for the acquisition of other PRODE for the Brazilian Armed Forces.
