- The effect of training and technology on friction in armoured combat: case study of Battle of 73 EastingPublication . Heck, Bruno Lion Gomes; Azevedo, Carlos Eduardo FrancoThe aim of this article is to determine if training and technology are directly or inversely correlated with friction during armoured combat, using the Battle of 73 Easting, which took place during the Gulf War (1991), as a case study. A historical review was carried out to describe the battle and the categorization proposed by Ferreira, Ramos and Franchi (2018) regarding the different types of friction was used throughout the study. The study methodology was an analytical single case study which included a qualitative and quantitative analysis. The findings revealed that training and technology directly affected attrition, giving the US forces the advantage in the confrontation, and that technology correlated especially to the “information” category of friction, while training had more consequences for the “individual” category.
- The influence of a culture of innovation on the development of software-defined radio for the defence sector.Publication . Borba, Gabriela Alves de; Azevedo, Carlos Eduardo Franco; Fronfria Mesa, AntonioThis study examines how the cultures of innovation of the Brazilian Army and the Brazilian Navy influenced the RDS-Defence innovation process. RDS-Defence, or Software-Defined Radio for Defence, is a programme of the Brazilian Ministry of Defence that seeks to develop radios for tactical communications within the Brazilian Armed Forces. The study aimed to determine which elements of the Brazilian Army and Navy’s culture of innovation have either facilitated or hindered the RDS-Defence innovation process. This is an exploratory and qualitative study. A literature review was used to collect data from books, documents and semi-structured interviews with officers who work or worked in the RDS-Defence team. The collected data were analysed using Content Analysis techniques.The findings show that the Armed Forces’ culture of innovation does indeed influence innovation processes. Certain elements of culture of innovation acted as catalysts for innovation, while others impeded the speed of the innovation process to some degree.
