Aeronave remotamente pilotada: necessidades de desafios para a implementação de um esquadrão para a Marinha do Brasil

Abstract

The Brazilian Navy in your Articulation and Equipment Plan glimpses the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) acquisition to maritime patrol, monitoring and combat to support the naval forces in several scenarios. In this sense, some actions were done by the navy operational sector, by having the Naval Aviation Command created an executive group to start the studies related to the organizational structure, operational aspects and the personal training necessary to create a new UAV squadron. Within this approach, is important to know the best way to implement this new capacity for the Brazilian Navy. In this way, this monography presents a proposal that contains the needs and challenges that will be faced for the operational implementation of the UAV squadron, in what concerns to personal training, organizational structure and operational aspects. Therefore, a bibliographical and documental research was made, aiming to investigate the implementation process already developed by other organizations, both at brazilian level and other countries, approaching criteria for personal selection and qualification and the infrastructure needs for the UAV operation. The studies were delimited from the actions already developed by the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) for the 1°/12° Aviation Group implementation in Santa Maria – RS and the procedures adopted by brazilian public agencies and armed forces from other countries.
