Aeronave remotamente pilotada na guerra híbrida: O uso desta aeronave em ambiente de conflito armado

Abstract

ABSTRACT REMOTELY PILOTED AIRCRAF IN HYBRID WARFARE: The use of this aircraft in an armed conflict environments Before the 1990s, wars were considered Conventional Wars. Since the 1990s, wars have been incorporating unconventional techniques and tactics, as well as equipment, thus giving rise to Unconventional Wars. However, these conflicts did not occur in isolation, on the contrary, they always mixed conventional and unconventional wars. This is how Hybrid War emerged. The union of the two ways of waging war. And this work will be an explanation of a piece of military equipment that operates in the context of both types of warfare, the Remotely Piloted Aircraft. A piece of military equipment that emerges with technological advances. In this paper, I will cover everything from its emergence, which occurred in the military field, to its current development, including its main use in armed conflicts, such as the current wars between Ukraine and Russia and Israel and Palestine. I will also mention its use in the civilian environment, where it was adapted to perform various services in various sectors. In addition, I will address its implementation in the Brazilian armed forces and its use by the armed forces of other nations; systems and equipment for protection against these aircraft, and finally, some considerations on the need to expand the use of this aerial equipment by our armed forces, demonstrating how beneficial it will be for our country.
