Abstract(s)
Os grandes incêndios de 2017 foram um catalisador à mudança no sistema de gestão
integrada dos fogos rurais, originando uma reforma assente em três pilares, sendo um deles
o da profissionalização e capacitação, onde se exige maior envolvimento das Forças Armadas.
Nesta vertente, é confiado à Força Aérea o comando e gestão centralizados dos meios aéreos de
combate a incêndios florestais, por meios próprios do Estado ou outros que sejam sazonalmente
necessários. Assim, definiu-se como objeto de estudo da presente investigação, a edificação
da capacidade de combate a incêndios rurais com meios próprios do Estado na Força Aérea,
tendo por base a análise documental, legislação e entrevistas a militares do Ramo e a entidades
da Autoridade Nacional de Emergência e Proteção Civil. Segue uma metodologia de emprego
de raciocínio indutivo, assente numa investigação qualitativa e com um desenho de pesquisa
de estudo de caso. O resultado é um modelo de edificação de capacidades, constituído por três
fases e que permite implementar a capacidade própria permanente de combate a incêndios
com meios aéreos, a médio prazo, sublinhando-se que alguns dos fatores exógenos ao Ramo,
serão os que se perspetivam mais difíceis de mitigar, como sejam, financiamento, recrutamento
e formação.
The great fires of 2017 triggered a change to the Integrated Rural Fire Management System and led to a reform based on three pillars, one of which, professionalization and training, will require greater involvement from the Armed Forces. The Air Force is tasked with the centralised command and management of the country’s aerial firefighting capabilities, both state-owned and others that may be required on a seasonal basis. The object of study is the process of building a state-owned aerial firefighting capability in the Air Force. To that end, the study will review the literature and legislation on the topic and conduct interviews with Air Force personnel and with personnel from the National Emergency and Civil Protection Authority. The study uses an inductive reasoning methodology supported by a qualitative research strategy and a case study research design. The result is a capability building model with three phases that will enable the implementation of a permanent aerial firefighting capability in the medium term; however, some factors outside the Air Force’s control, such as funding, recruitment and training, may prove the most difficult to mitigate.
