O reequipamento militar levou a que o Exército Português adquirisse à Holanda 37
CC Leopard 2A6 que este país considerava material excedentário. O nível tecnológico associado a este equipamento obrigou o Exército a alterar doutrinas e conceitos, entre os quais os relativos à manutenção.
É com base nestas alterações que elaboramos este trabalho de investigação, de forma a percebermos qual a capacidade de realizaçãoda manutenção de Nível III no Exército Português para o CC Leopard 2A6.
Assim, o nosso estudo recorre ao método qualitativo- pela realização de entrevistas
semi-directivas a quatro participantes com reconhecido conhecimento na área e que respeitavam alguns requisitos levantados - e através da análise de conteúdo. Do tratamento e análise dos dados surgiram quatro categorias: Vantagens, Recursos, Limitações e Alternativas.
A principal conclusão aponta que o Exército não temactualmente a capacidade de
suportar uma estrutura que lhe permita fazer a manutenção de Nível III no CC Leopard 2A6,
e que para isso concorrem factores de ordem humana e de ordem física. No entanto este
estudo aponta vantagens para o Exército Português em conseguir fazer este tipo de manutenção, nomeadamente a nível do aproveitamento de recursos, do desenvolvimento nacional, da independência internacional, de uma manutenção mais rápida e do desenvolvimento de novos conhecimentos. A constante dependência da marca, a complexidade tecnológica, a inexperiência e a quantidade de meios exigidos foram as limitações associadas à manutenção de Nível III que emergiram do nosso estudo. As estratégias encontradas foram a criação de parcerias, e o recurso ao outsourcing tanto nacional, como internacional.
Abstract In order to fulfill for military reequipment needs,the Portuguese army purchased 37 MBT Leopard 2A6 considered as surplus material in Holland. Due to its high technological level, the army had to reshape doctrines and concepts, including those related with maintenance. Based on those changes, the aim of the present study was to understand what is, the Portuguese capability to perform Level III maintenance for the MBT Leopard 2A6. Consequently, for this study, we have used the qualitative method – interviewing four renowned participants in this field of knowledge – and by means of content analysis. After the analysis four categories stood out: Advantages;Resources, Limitations and Alternatives. The main conclusion to come into sight was that, currently, the army does not have the capability to perform Level III maintenance forthe MBT Leopard 2A6, due to human and material factors. However, this study points out the advantages for the Portuguese army to achieve such level of performance, namely in terms of taking advantages of its resources, in terms of national development, international independence, faster maintenance and development of new knowledge. The limitations associated to Level III maintenance are: continuous dependence of the manufacturer, technological complexity; inexperience and the amount of resources demanded. In order to combat those limitations we suggest the creation of partnerships and the use of national and international outsourcing.
