O presente Trabalho de Investigação Aplicada está subordinado ao tema “Proteção
Balística do Soldado de Infantaria”.
Como objetivo geral pretende-se desenvolver uma base de conhecimento militar, no
âmbito dos materiais e dos elementos de proteção balística ligeiros, no que concerne às
suas especificações, características e requisitos técnicos.
A evolução dos elementos de proteção balística e das blindagens está fortemente
relacionada com a evolução do armamento, e com isto foram surgindo novos materiais e
fibras que possibilitam aliar a proteção balística com as necessidades e bem-estar do seu
utilizador, sendo este o soldado de Infantaria, que atua em diferentes cenários, terrenos e
condições, utilizando o fogo e movimento, necessitando portanto, de grande mobilidade.
Estas considerações levaram ao desenvolvimento de novos tipos de proteção
realizados com materiais compósitos devido ao seu peso reduzido. Deste modo, no
presente trabalho procedeu-se à elaboração de ensaios balísticos em situação de tiro real a
painéis balísticos compósitos, de caracter exploratório.
No que se refere ao método de investigação científica foi utilizado o método
hipotético-dedutivo, utilizado para comprovar as hipóteses colocadas no início da
investigação e desta forma responder aos problemas colocados através da análise
documental e ensaios balísticos.
O presente trabalho encontra-se dividido em seis capítulos. O primeiro capítulo
refere-se à introdução do tema. O segundo capítulo refere-se à revisão da literatura para o
entendimento do estudo. O terceiro expõe os métodos e procedimentos utilizados durante a
investigação. O capítulo quatro é referente aos painéis balísticos. No capítulo cinco são
apresentados e analisados os resultados. As conclusões e recomendações futuras surgem no
sexto capítulo.
Conclui-se que os elementos de proteção balística apresentam inúmeros requisitos
sendo que o mais importante é aliar a capacidade de proteção ao peso reduzido, com a
finalidade de manter a eficiência de combate do Soldado de Infantaria.
Abstract The present Research Work is about the theme “Ballistic Protection of the Infantry Soldier”. The overall goal is to develop military knowledge regarding materials and elements of light ballistic protection, in what concerns its specifications, features and technical requirements. The evolution of the elements of ballistic protection and shields is strongly related to the evolution of weaponry. New materials and fibres that allow ballistic protection to be an ally of the needs and well-being of its user have emerged. Being the user an infantryman who moves in different scenarios, fields and conditions, using fire and movement because he/she needs great mobility. These considerations led to the development of new types of protection made with composite materials due to its reduced weight. Throughout this research work ballistic tests in real life firing situation with ballistic panels were made, of exploratory character. Concerning the research method the hypothetical-deductive method was used, which is meant to prove the hypothesis considered at the beginning of the research and this way give answers to the problems that have emerged by the data analysis and ballistic tests. The present work is divided into six chapters. The first chapter refers to the introduction of the theme. The second chapter refers to the review of the literature to the understanding of the study. The third explores the methods and procedures used throughout the research. The forth chapter refers to ballistic panels. In chapter five the results are presented and analysed. The conclusions and future recommendations are in the sixth chapter. It can be concluded that the elements of ballistic protection present many requirements. The most important being the link between the capacity of protection and its reduced weight in order to maintain the fight efficiency of the Infantry soldier.
