Abstract(s)
A proliferação global dos Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) é um facto consumado,
ao qual as Forças Armadas (FFAA) portuguesas não estão alheias. A integração destes
sistemas no dispositivo dos três Ramos, enquanto objeto de estudo desta investigação, tem
ocorrido de forma distinta, por intermédio de processos de edificação específicos,
condicionados por uma elevada sujeição financeira. Partindo desta premissa, este trabalho
tem como objetivo propor contributos para a melhoria dos modelos de implementação dos
UAS nas FFAA.
O presente trabalho assentou num método de raciocínio indutivo, verificando a
adequabilidade do Estudo de Caso, por intermédio de uma estratégia de investigação
qualitativa, com a recolha de dados materializada por entrevistas semiestruturadas e análise
documental.
A análise e comparação dos modelos de implementação dos UAS nos três Ramos das
FFAA, incorporando o modelo do Ejército de Tierra, permitiu identificar limitações e
potencialidades, que contribuíram para a apresentação de algumas propostas, com vista à
consolidação da capacidade, ao nível nacional. Estas propostas estão assentes num
alinhamento conjunto, alicerçado por uma orientação estratégica, integrando a Indústria de
Defesa, perspetivando a melhoria dos modelos seguidos nos três Ramos das FFAA.
The global proliferation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems is an accomplished fact, one that the Portuguese Armed Forces are not unaware of. The integration of these systems in the three Branches, this investigation’s object of study, has occurred in a different way, through specific edification processes, conditioned by a high financial subjection. Based on this premise, this work aims to propose contributions for the improvement of the UAS implementation models in the Armed Forces. This work was based on a inductive reasoning method, verifying the suitability of the case study, through a qualitative research strategy, with the collection of data materialized by semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis. The analysis and comparison of the UAS implementation models in the three branches of the Armed Forces, incorporating the model of the Ejército de Tierra, allowed the identification of limitations and potential, which contributed to the presentation of some proposals, aiming the capacity consolidation, at the national level. These proposals are based on a joint alignment, itself based on a strategic orientation, integrating the Defense Industry, with a view to improving the models followed in the three branches of the Armed Forces.
