A utilização do "Vertical Launching System" (VLS), sua importância na guerra moderna e vantagens em detrimento a atuais sistemas antiaéreos embarcados

Abstract

The "Vertical Launching System" (VLS) has its use and prominence in naval weapons systems and significant importance in current and future conflict scenarios, as well as advantages that would greatly influence the course of a war. Thus, this research proposes a general analysis of the new anti-aircraft defense system of the "Tamandaré" class frigates in order to expose evidence of the relevance of this system for the Brazilian Navy through biblyblygraphic studies in order to bring technical and comparative data, especially with the North American VLS MK41, as well as case studies about its use. The investigation and mentalization of currents and subsequent conflicts between nations, advances and changes in military techniques and technologies show gaps constantly open in this environment, in which the VLS "Sea Ceptor" fills for the MB in the category of anti-aircraft warfare, lending it to be in minimum conditions to oppose the modern enemy. For now, the MB of its first step, thus, it is valid to emphasize the potential of assertive choice, aimed at the needs of modern combat.
