Nos últimos anos, com a contenção das guerras interestatais convencionais, a emergência de novas ameaças transnacionais e a informatização da vida moderna têm conduzido a sociedade a um diferente paradigma civilizacional, onde as ameaças híbridas surgem como um dos principais desafios securitários e militares, que exige uma resposta cooperativa e integrada de toda a sociedade.
Neste contexto, o objetivo desta investigação consiste em propor linhas de ação para o combate às ameaças híbridas, ao nível das Forças Armadas Portuguesas e encontra-se alicerçado em três objetivos específicos, que passam por analisar: o papel do Instrumento de Poder Militar; as linhas de orientação Estratégicas da União Europeia e da Organização do Tratado do Atlântico Norte; e as capacidades das Forças Armadas para o combate às ameaças híbridas.
Adotou-se uma investigação baseada num raciocínio indutivo, apoiada numa estratégia de investigação qualitativa e num desenho de pesquisa de estudo de caso. Como técnicas de recolha de dados, recorreu-se à análise documental e a entrevistas semiestruturadas.
Como principais resultados, releva-se a proposta de doze linhas de ação que visam constituir-se como os elementos orientadores para o processo de alinhamento de uma estratégia futura, e um contributo para a clareza conceptual e compreensão das ameaças híbridas.
Over the past years, the containment of interstate conventional wars, the emergence of transnational threats, the interconnectivity and computerization of modern life have led to a civilizational paradigm shift where the hybrid threats have emerged as one of the main security and military challenges, which requires a cooperative and integrated response from the whole society. In this context, the aim of this research, is to propose courses of action to counter hybrid threats, at the level of the Portuguese Armed Forces, and it is based on three specific objectives, that go through analyzing; the role of the Military Power, the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization strategic guidelines, and the capabilities of the Armed Forces to combat hybrid threats. The research, based on inductive reasoning, lays on a qualitative research strategy and a case study design. Data collection techniques include extensive document analysis and semi-structured interviews. The major results are the significant contributions toward the conceptual clarity and the understanding of the hybrid threats, underlining the identification of twelve Courses of Action which are intended to be perceived as guiding elements in the pursue of a future aligned strategy
