Este Trabalho de Investigação Aplicada estuda o impacto do Sistema de Informação e
Comunicações Tático (SIC-T) e do Battlefield Management System (BMS), a desenvolver pelo Exército Português, no apoio às unidades de manobra.
A recolha de informação e a sua análise foram realizados através de entrevistas a quatro oficiais da arma de Transmissões, conhecedores dos projetos SIC-T e BMS. Fizeramse também entrevistas a três oficiais da arma de Cavalaria que já trabalharam com um BMS, mais precisamente o Kosovo Force Tracking System (KFTS).
A experiência e conhecimento atual dos projetos por parte dos oficias de transmissões foi -nos fundamental para a realização deste trabalho. A experiência dos oficiais de Cavalaria em trabalhar com um BMS foi igualmente importante, uma vez que o seu testemunho por terem trabalhado com este sistema ajudou-nos a compreender melhor a importância de existência de um sistema semelhante no Exército Português.
O SIC-T, como aplicação prática dos conceitos de guerra centrada em rede, visa ajudar as unidades de manobra no cumprimento das missões atribuídas. Em paralelo com o BMS estes sistemas permitem ter um comando e controlo das unidades subordinadas mais eficaz acelerando a velocidade decisão de quem está a comandar.
Foi possível verificar que as limitações financeiras impostas ao nosso Exército também se fazem sentir neste projeto, faltando completar o SIC-T com módulos em relação ao projeto inicial. Corre-se o risco de o projeto ficar desatualizado quando estiver concluído.
A estrutura hierárquica não é afetada com estes sistemas. Seria uma possibilidade devido à facilidade de troca de informações com a utilização destes sistemas, mas que não se confirmou. É apenas a forma de comandar que sofre alterações existindo uma abordagem mais rápida às situações.
Abstract This Applied Research Work studies the impact of the Tactical Information and Communications System (SIC-T) and the Battlefield Management System (BMS), developed by the Portuguese Army, in support of maneuver units. The gathering of information and its analysis was achieved by interviewing four officers from the Transmissions branch, knowledgeable of SIC-T and BMS projects. Interviews were also made to three officers from the Cavalry branch who have worked with BMS, more precisely the Kosovo Force Tracking System (KFTS). The experience and knowledge of the current projects by the transmission officers was essential for us to accomplish this work. The experience of the Cavalry officers in working with a BMS was also important, since their testimony of working with this system helped us understand the importance of having a similar system in the Portuguese Army. The SIC-T as a practical application of network centric warfare concepts seeks to help maneuver units carrying out assigned tasks. In parallel with BMS these systems allow to have a more effective command and control of subordinate units accelerating the decision rate of who is in command. It was possible to verify that the financial restrictions placed on our Army were also felt in this project, missing to complete modules in relation to the initial design. There is a risk of getting the project outdated when it is complete. The hierarchical structure is not affected with these systems. It would be possible due to easy exchange of information with such systems, but this was not confirmed. It's just the way of command that undergoes changes with the faster approach to situations.
