Abstract(s)
Os Sistemas de Aeronaves Não-Tripulados (SANT) têm-se imposto como alternativa
às aeronaves tripuladas, substituindo-as em muitos cenários operacionais, oferecendo maior
autonomia, executando missões complexas e perigosas sem comprometer a vida dos
executantes.
Esta capacidade está em processo de edificação nas Regiões Autónomas (RA), tendo
sido escolhidos SANT da Classe Mini (<15 kg) em ambos os arquipélagos, para apoiar em
situações de busca de desaparecidos em terra, situação de catástrofe, emergências civis ou
na prevenção de incêndios florestais.
Estes sistemas são utilizados pelos três ramos das Forças Armadas (FFAA) e Guarda
Nacional Republicana, tendo sido empregues em missões de vigilância e reconhecimento,
onde a mais mediática é no combate aos incêndios rurais.
Definiu-se como objeto de estudo os SANT das FFAA, visando propor contributos
para a edificação destes nas RA. A investigação tem por base um raciocínio indutivo, assente
numa estratégia qualitativa. Este Estudo de Caso foi desenvolvido com base na consulta
documental e em entrevistas semiestruturadas a militares das áreas operacionais e técnicas.
Analisaram-se os indicadores do modelo DOTMPLII e concluiu-se que SANT Classe
I conseguem suprimir parcialmente as lacunas operacionais identificadas nas RA. Para
operações sobre o mar será preciso investir em SANT de maior capacidade operacional.
The Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are currently replacing the piloted aircrafts, offering longer periods on station and executing complex and dangerous missions without compromising the life of the crew. The UAS will be established on the Portuguese archipelagos, Madeira and Azores, being chosen Class Mini (<15 kg) to support in situations of search for missing persons over land, disaster situation, civil emergencies or in the prevention of forest fires. The three military branches and police forces are using UAS, mainly for Surveillance and Reconnaissance missions, being the most mediatic the “fight against rural fires”. The “UAS of the Armed Forces” were defined as the Object of Research, aiming to propose contributions for the establishment of UAS in Madeira and Azores. This investigation is based on inductive approach, based on a qualitative strategy. This Case Study was developed based on documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews with military personnel in the Operational and Technical areas. The qualitative variables were analysed through DOTMPLII theory model. The main results showed that Class I UAS can partially suppress the operational gaps identified in the Portuguese islands, however for operations over sea, it will be necessary to invest in UAS with greater operational capacity.
