O presente trabalho tem como objeto de estudo a capacidade da Viatura Blindada de Rodas 8x8 PANDUR II na condição de principal meio pesado de transporte de pessoal, para as Forças Nacionais Destacadas. O objetivo do estudo é verificar a adequabilidade desta capacidade para executar as operações tipificadas nas Forças Nacionais Destacadas. Nesse sentido, é apresentado o Caso de Estudo do Teatro de Operações do Kosovo. Este foi o primeiro cenário em que esta capacidade foi testada, uma vez que equipa as forças portuguesas neste teatro, desde 2013. Este estudo segue um método de investigação hipotético-dedutivo, utilizando uma estratégia de investigação qualitativa. Na base da obtenção de dados, este trabalho baseia-se numa análise documental e em entrevistas realizadas a Oficiais que desempenharam funções de comando e estado-maior, integrando a Kosovo Force. Neste trabalho, verifica-se que a PANDUR II é uma viatura tecnologicamente desenvolvida, fiável e dotada de uma grande capacidade de proteção da força. Além disso, as necessidades logísticas inerentes a esta capacidade não representam um constrangimento à sua utilização. Assim, conclui-se que a capacidade PANDUR II é adequada para equipar as Forças Nacionais Destacadas num teatro de operações com as especificidades do Kosovo.
The present essay has as its object of study the capacity 8x8 Armored Wheeled Vehicle PANDUR II, in the condition of main heavy personnel’s mean of transportation, for the National Deployed Forces. The purpose of the study is to verify the suitability of this capability for the performance of the National Deployed Forces operations. In this sense, the Case Study of the Theater of Operations of Kosovo is presented. This was the first scenario in which this capacity was deployed, equipping Portuguese forces in theater, since 2013. This study follows a hypothetical-deductive research method, using a qualitative research strategy. On the basis of data collection, this work is based on a documental analysis and on interviews conducted on Officers who performed command and staff functions, taking part of Kosovo Force. In this work it is verified that the PANDUR II is a technologically developed and reliable vehicle and it is endowed with a great contribution to force protection. Moreover, the logistical needs inherent in this capacity do not represent a constraint on their use. Thus, it is concluded that the PANDUR II capacity is, in fact, adequate to equip the National Deployed Forces in a theater of operations with the specificities of Kosovo.
