Abstract(s)
O presente Trabalho de Investigação Aplicada está subordinado ao tema “Apoio
Aéreo nas Operações de Contrassubversão”.
O desenvolvimento tecnológico alterou o paradigma da guerra, passando de guerra
clássica ou convencional para guerra irregular. Os beligerantes dos conflitos deixaram de ser
exércitos convencionais e passaram a ser milícias, grupos criminosos e organizações
terroristas. O foco de atuação é redirecionado para a população em vez de componente
militar do Estado opositor.
Os elementos das forças irregulares provocam elevadas baixas nas tropas terrestres.
Para reduzir esse número de baixas, existe uma ferramenta eficaz ao dispor das forças
terrestres, apoio aéreo.
O Teatro de Operações do Afeganistão envolveu vários Países na luta contra a
insurgência, implicando uso de diferentes meios e táticas para combater a ameaça. Com esta
investigação, pretende-se enunciar o papel do apoio aéreo nas operações de
contrainsurgência no Afeganistão.
A presente investigação é baseada no método de abordagem do problema indutivo,
tendo como estudo de caso o Teatro de Operações do Afeganistão.
Com esta investigação conclui-se, que o apoio aéreo desempenha papel fundamental
no apoio à manobra terrestre. É uma ferramenta versátil e tem um tempo de resposta
reduzido. Pode ser utilizado nas operações ofensivas e para garantir proteção da força nos
deslocamentos. Por fim, o apoio aéreo é um elemento relevante nas operações psicológicas,
uma vez que, basta a sua presença para intimidar o inimigo.
This final work is entitled "Air Support in Counter-Subversion Operations". Technological development has changed the paradigm of war, from classical or conventional warfare to irregular warfare. Conventional armies are no longer belligerents of the conflicts, it became militias, criminal groups and terrorist organizations. The focus is redirected to population rather than military component of the opposing state. Elements of irregular forces cause high casualties in ground troops. To reduce the number of casualties, there is an effective tool available to the ground forces, air support. The Theater of Operations Afghanistan, involved several countries in the fight against insurgency, involving the use of different means and tactics to combat the threat. With this research, aims to spell out the role of air support in counterinsurgency operations in Afghanistan. This research is based on inductive method, with the case study Theatre of Operations Afghanistan. With this research we conclude that air support plays a key role in supporting ground maneuver. It is a versatile tool and has a reduced response time. It can be used in offensive operations and to ensure force protection. Finally, air support is an important element in psychological operations, since, just his presence could intimidate the enemy.
