Abstract(s)
O presente estudo analisa a plataforma Viatura Blindada de Rodas 8X8 no contexto da edificação da Força Terrestre de Próxima Geração do Exército Português. Estabeleceu-se como objetivo propor linhas de ação no vetor de desenvolvimento Material que potenciem a Viatura Blindada de Rodas 8X8 enquanto ativo válido no espaço de batalha do futuro. A Investigação seguiu uma metodologia qualitativa, recorrendo a análise documental e entrevistas semiestruturadas para a recolha de dados, adotando o estudo de caso como desenho de pesquisa. Os resultados revelaram a necessidade de modernizar a Viatura Blindada de Rodas PANDUR II 8X8 para enfrentar os desafios do EB do futuro. A análise permitiu identificar vulnerabilidades e potencialidades da plataforma, fundamentando um conjunto de linhas de ação para implementação até 2034, centradas na otimização da viatura, com melhorias nos pilares da mobilidade, proteção, letalidade e conetividade. Para o período pós-2034, recomenda-se a substituição da plataforma por uma nova que integre as tecnologias e caraterísticas identificadas, com base nos conceitos do “hexágono de ferro” e da “cebola da sobrevivência”. Conclui-se que, apesar das limitações estruturais da viatura, a sua modernização faseada, alinhada com as tendências tecnológicas, pode assegurar a sua relevância para a Força Terrestre de Próxima Geração.
This study analyses the 8X8 Wheeled Armoured Vehicle platform within the framework of the development of the Portuguese Army's Next Generation Land Force. The main objective was to propose lines of action within the material development vector that enhance it as a valid asset in the future battlefield. The research followed a qualitative methodology, employing documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews for data collection, and adopted the case study as the research design. The findings revealed the need to modernize the PANDUR II 8X8 Wheeled Armored Vehicle to meet the challenges of the future operational environment. The analysis enabled the identification of both vulnerabilities and potentialities of the platform, supporting a set of lines of action to be implemented by 2034. These are focused on optimizing the vehicle through improvements in the pillars of mobility, protection, lethality, and connectivity. For the post-2034 period, the replacement of the platform is recommended, with a new system that incorporates the identified technologies and characteristics, based on the conceptual frameworks of the “steel-hexagon” and the “onion of survivability”. It is concluded that, despite structural limitations, phased modernization aligned with technological trends can ensure the platform’s relevance to the Portuguese Army's Next Generation Land Force.
