Sistema de comando e controle para a Amazônia Azul : adequalidade , exequibilidade, e aceitabilidade da integração de diversos sistemas independentes e possíveis alternativas

Abstract

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea defined the areas where coastal States can exercise their full or relative sovereignty. On the relative sovereignty, the Convention states that all economic resources in the Exclusive Economic Zone are exclusive property of the coastal State, adding a substantial lot of new wealthiness to that State. For its similarity to the rain forest, known as the “Amazônia Verde”, this area is been called “Amazônia Azul”. The warranty of that sovereignty, inside a maritime area as huge as that, is a considerable task due to the Brazilian Navy, which requires an efficient and effective command and control system for its accomplishment. As the State assumed international responsibility for the safety of life at sea, inside its SAR area, larger than the “Amazônia Azul”, the original problem became even more complex. In the analysis of this problem, some issues came naturally into attention, like: the Information Era, the Information Technology, the Revolution in Military Affairs, the Network-Centric Warfare, the Grid Computing, Interoperability, and the System of Systems. Therefore, with the purpose of verifying the feasibility of integrating several independent systems to establish a command and control system for the “Amazônia Azul”, an analysis of the adequacy, feasibility, and acceptability of the solution. It has also been verified the existence of alternatives to this solution. Finally, all established solutions have been organized by its priority due to its acceptability, and the most acceptable was selected
