O emprego do Poder Naval brasileiro na defesa da Amazônia Azul

Abstract

The present study is an analysis of the riches, vulnerabilities, threats, limitations and conditioning factors of the National Defense that are related and that influence the fulfillment of the tasks of Naval Power in defending the interests of the Brazilian State in the Blue Amazon. In this sense, the objective of this study is to analyze the strategic and logistical aspects that influence the fulfillment of these tasks, considering the positioning of our naval bases, in the defense of the Blue Amazon. In order to meet the listed objectives, bibliographic and documentary research methodologies were used, and legislation related to the theme of National Defense was also observed. Among the components that support a Naval Power capable of guaranteeing the defense of the Blue Amazon, there is logistics support base, in addition to the monitoring and control capabilities of this geopolitical space. Naval Power is essential to the defense of the Blue Amazon, not only against threats of a non-state nature but, above all, against threats from States. In a scenario of crises such as food, water, ecological and energy, with the planet's resources becoming increasingly scarce, it is natural to turn our eyes to the rich patrimony of natural and mineral resources contained in the Blue Amazon. In this context, the Brazilian State must be able to count on a Naval Power that has the necessary requirements for the defense of such an extensive maritime area.
