Abstract(s)
Numa sociedade marcada por um processo de globalização crescente e contínuo onde
concomitantemente, se verifica uma imprevisibilidade e dissimulação de atuação da ameaça
no seio da mesma, urge explorar ferramentas de obtenção de informações que permitam
desenvolver um aconselhamento flexível e oportuno à conduta das operações militares.
Assim, com a deslocalização do conflito para zonas urbanas, densamente povoadas,
assume de forma acrescida o elemento humano, fator de desequilíbrio a ter em conta nas atividades de informação. Porquanto, as interações entre pessoas, hoje, tal como no passado,
no âmbito da obtenção de informação, continuam a ser preponderantes. É neste contexto,
que a atividade de Human Intelligence, enquanto disciplina das Informações, assume
particular relevância. Com este estudo, pretende-se compreender as especificidades de
emprego desta atividade, desde o perfil do operador ao próprio conceito de ação no apoio
à decisão de um comandante. Numa perspetiva militar tem, este trabalho, como objeto
de estudo, a atividade HUMINT, assumindo este elemento a base para atingir o objetivo
de compreender as possibilidades e os contributos da HUMINT no apoio à conduta das
operações militares. Para atingir este desiderato, efetuou-se uma investigação com base num
raciocínio dedutivo, assente numa estratégia qualitativa, através de uma análise documental
e de conteúdo, com recurso a entrevistas a especialistas com experiência operacional.
As society becomes increasingly globalised, security threats become more unpredictable and covert. Therefore, there is an urgent need for intelligence gathering tools that can provide military commanders the advice they need to mount a flexible and timely response. Because conflicts are taking place in densely populated urban areas, the human factor, a source of uncertainty which must be accounted for when carrying out intelligence operations, has become more important than ever. Now, as in the past, human interaction remains a crucial tool for intelligence gathering, making Human Intelligence, a branch of the broader field of Intelligence, especially relevant. This study examines the aspects underpinning HUMINT operations, from the traits of a HUMINT collector, to what constitutes an activity to support a commander’s decision making. This article analyses HUMINT in military contexts to ascertain how it can best be used to support military operations. To that end, the study used deductive reasoning and a qualitative research strategy based on documentary and content analysis and on interviews with experts with operational experience.
