Abstract(s)
O sucesso em conflitos futuros pode depender da capacidade de adotar e implementar rapidamente novas tecnologias. É necessário assim, antecipar as mudanças tecnológicas, para que se consiga, em tempo, planear e priorizar os investimentos, permitindo modernizar o Exército de forma eficiente.
É neste contexto que o objeto de estudo se materializa no Human Enhancement nas futuras Forças Terrestres, e o objetivo geral consiste em propor as tecnologias adicionais no âmbito do Human Enhancement que devem ser integradas no futuro Sistema de Combate do Soldado no Exército Português. Para cumprir este desiderato é efetuado um estudo de caso, utilizando raciocínio indutivo, numa estratégia qualitativa, complementado com a realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas a especialistas na área, de modo a validar as tecnologias propostas.
Conclui-se que as tecnologias associadas ao Human Enhancement terão um maior impacto no domínio cognitivo e nessa linha de pensamento, e em consideração à arquitetura do Sistema de Combate do Soldado, são propostas duas modalidades. A primeira com foco em três tecnologias já em uso nos Sistema de Combate do Soldado e que caso não sejam implementadas rapidamente, poderá à posteriori não fazer sentido. A segunda modalidade apresenta cinco tecnologias, que ainda se encontram em fase de projeto/protótipo.
Success in future conflicts may depend on the capacity to quickly adopt and implement new technologies. It is thus necessary to anticipate technological changes, so that investments can be planned and prioritized in time, allowing the Army to modernize in an efficient manner. It is in this context that the study object is Human Enhancement in the future Land Forces, and the general objective is to propose the additional technologies within the scope of Human Enhancement that must be integrated in the future Soldier Combat System of the Portuguese Army. In order to fulfil this desideratum a case study is carried out, using inductive research, with a qualitative strategy, complemented with semi-structured interviews with experts in the area, in order to validate the proposed technologies. It is concluded that the technologies associated with Human Enhancement will have a greater impact on the cognitive domain and in this line of thought, and in consideration of the architecture of the Soldier Combat System, two modalities are proposed. The first focuses on three technologies already in use in the Soldier Combat System and that if they are not implemented quickly, may later not make sense. The second modality presents five technologies, which are still in project/prototype phase.
