Sistema remotamente pilotados: O emprego dos sistemas de aeronaves remotamente pilotadas, em proveito da Marinha do Brasil

Abstract

ABSTRACT REMOTELY PILOTED SYSTEMS: THE USE OF REMOTELY PILOTED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS (RPAS) FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BRAZILIAN NAVY The research object of this work consists of showing how the Brazilian Navy can use the Remotely Piloted Aircraft System, in order to prepare for future challenges, imposed by the current situation in world politics and constant technological developments in the field of naval aviation. The proposal is focused on the Navy's Strategic Plan, which, through its Strategic Programs, will demonstrate efforts to keep its Naval Force well prepared and compatible with the dimensions of our country. Currently, Remotely Piloted Aircraft have been used for various purposes, a fact that has awakened the need throughout the world for the presence of a more robust and effective Armed Forces, in the defense of their own territories. As a great challenge, it has become urgent to incorporate the sea that belongs to us into our territory and promote the sustainable use of its natural resources, as provided by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. called the Blue Amazon, full of mysteries and uncertainties, we must point out to our country's drivers the need to always keep our Navy strong. Therefore, this study will explore the evolution of Remotely Piloted Aircraft throughout history; their respective systems and use in the Brazilian Navy, in land-based Military Organizations and naval assets; and in supporting the Blue Amazon Management System, in order to contribute to the monitoring and security of this new world. It will also address the lessons learned in world conflicts, with the aim of highlighting the country's needs and vulnerabilities, in order to protect itself against external threats. The Remotely Piloted Aircraft System will play a very important role in monitoring the coverage areas of the Blue Amazon Management System, in which it will be able to provide numerous intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance information. This information will serve as input for decision-making and, when applicable, the establishment of reaction measures to an identified threat or emergency. The use of these aircraft, for the benefit of the Brazilian Navy, in parallel with the creation of specific doctrines, which guarantee the safety of operations, will provide a great gain for the Naval Force. Achieving a level of technological independence in the area of naval aviation requires overcoming several obstacles, as well as investing in training and studies in this promising area of unmanned aircraft. Other important aspects covered in this work will be the future perspectives and new challenges that the Brazilian Navy will have to face, given this new reality. Therefore, some partnerships with renowned companies and holders of new technologies will also be highlighted; possibilities for exchanges and courses (both in the Navy, Army and Air Force); in addition to promoting seminars and workshops. Although each country has its intrinsic characteristics, realities and specific objectives, this Monograph sought to highlight the mission of the Brazilian Navy and a vision of the future, within our realities and based on the laws that govern our country.
