A estrutura VTS e o seu relacionamento com a Marinha do Brasil por meio da integração dos conceitos de C5IVR

Abstract

This dissertation investigates the integration of C5IVR tools with the Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) and its implications for the Brazilian Navy (BN). C5IVR, which stands for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cybernetics, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance, is an essential concept for enhancing military effectiveness through the efficient coordination of real-time information, ensuring a comprehensive view of the battlefield. The research analyzes the impact of the VTS and VTMIS (Vessel Traffic Management and Information System) on the ports of Açu and Vitória, highlighting how these systems can be utilized to provide relevant information to the operational intelligence of the BN. The provision of such knowledge aims to increase the safety and efficiency of navigation, protect the environment, and provide critical support to military operations. The analysis also addresses the challenges and opportunities of integrating C5IVR concept aspects, emphasizing the need for a balance between enhancing operational intelligence and preserving the primary function of ensuring maritime navigation safety through the VTS. Suggestions for future research include the development of a regulatory framework, analysis of benefits and challenges, investigation of emerging technologies, and training for operators and managers. It is concluded that the application of C5IVR resources with the VTS system has the potential to provide more effective maritime traffic management and support the decision-making process of the MB. The combination of these technologies and services enables a holistic and integrated approach to maritime security and defense, benefiting not only the safety of waterway traffic but also naval operations.
