O Estado e sua capacidade de influenciar o desenvolvimento de uma base industrial de defesa

Abstract

This academic work aims to identify the role of the Brazilian Navy (BN) in the development of the Brazilian Defense Industrial Base (DIB). The methodology to be used will be bibliographic research, given the need to understand concepts related to the subject, as well as the examination of laws that lead to its development. To culminate in the achievement of the main objective of this work, an analysis will be made of how the Brazilian Navy's Frigates Program "Tamandaré" Class can stimulate the development of the Naval Platform segment of the DIB, as well as its direct and indirect effects on the Brazilian industrial scenario. As a support for this work, there is a firm need for a country with territorial dimensions like Brazil to have its Armed Forces always equipped with products that can sufficiently and efficiently assist in the defense of the vast national territory, as well as its population and assets. Understanding the importance of the subject, the Ministry of Defense itself has been developing mechanisms since the early 2000s that foster the development of the DIB, considering the existing challenges for companies in the sector due to the inconsistency in equipment purchases by the State. Thus, as initial hypotheses, there is the idea that the BN plays a fundamental role in the DIB, acting as a stimulus for its development, in addition to the conception that the program will be responsible for a qualitative leap for the Naval Force, initiating a "new era" for the Defense Industry.
