Fortalecimento da defesa e da segurança marítima: O impacto das implementações tecnológicas no monitoramento e vigilância da Amazônia Azul

Abstract

ABSTRACT Strengthening defense and maritime security: The impact of technological implementation on monitoring and surveillance of the Blue Amazon Since 2004, efforts to expand the capacity of the Naval Power in defense and maritime security, mainly in the monitoring and surveillance of the Blue Amazon which recently had its Continental Platform extended, have been ongoing in the Brazilian Navy. The use of technological solutions indicates a viable path for this, reaching great distances and reducing the need for human resources and conventional naval resources, compatible with the 5.7 million square kilometers of oceanic waters. Making the application of these resources viable requires alignment of all segments of society, strengthening studies and investments that are necessary. Therefore, this monograph aims to analyze whether the implementation of technological solutions expands the monitoring and surveillance area of the Blue Amazon. To this end, information collected from bibliographic databases was analyzed, as well as documentation related to the maritime spaces of the Blue Amazon and the capacity of systems incorporated by the Brazilian Navy for maritime protection. In the end, it is concluded that the Naval Force has obtained satisfactory results in the implementation of these technological resources, reducing the challenges of monitoring and surveilling such a vast maritime area.
