O Sistema de Armas de F-16MLU Ʃ um dos principais pilares do dispositivo de forƧas da ForƧa AƩrea Portuguesa e o principal suporte para a Defesa AƩrea do EspaƧo AƩreo Nacional.
Apesar do seu alargado espectro de actuaĆ§Ć£o operacional e do longo perĆodo de vida Ćŗtil, a perspectiva da substituiĆ§Ć£o prevista para o perĆodo de 2025 a 2030 terĆ” que ser desde jĆ” tomada em conta. Neste Ć¢mbito, o presente trabalho de investigaĆ§Ć£o, seguindo o mĆ©todo de investigaĆ§Ć£o cientĆfico, assenta na anĆ”lise do impacto da nĆ£o substituiĆ§Ć£o deste Sistema de Armas na missĆ£o da ForƧa AĆ©rea, tendo por base o modelo de anĆ”lise definido.
Para enquadrar o perĆodo referido, sĆ£o abordadas neste trabalho as tendĆŖncias do instrumento militar e concretamente o Poder AĆ©reo, a evoluĆ§Ć£o das operaƧƵes militares, o conceito TransformaĆ§Ć£o e o emprego de meios aĆ©reos de combate.
Apesar de ser um Sistema de Armas eficaz e equilibrado, fruto das vĆ”rias actualizaƧƵes que tem vindo a sofrer, comeƧa a sentir os sinais da obsolescĆŖncia, atĆ© aqui de certa forma mitigada pelas parcerias a que ForƧa AĆ©rea pertence. Contudo, a entrada de parceiros das European Participating Air Forces em programas de substituiĆ§Ć£o do F-16MLU, poderĆ” comeƧar a acelerar a incapacidade da ForƧa AĆ©rea em manter o Sistema de Armas sempre actualizado. Por outro lado existem sistemas da plataforma que devido Ć obsolescĆŖncia, comeƧam a ter implicaƧƵes directas na capacidade operacional.
No plano internacional, a contribuiĆ§Ć£o para a NATO, no perĆodo referido poderĆ” ser limitada, fruto da constante evoluĆ§Ć£o tecnolĆ³gica dos meios de combate ofensivos e defensivos, onde o sucesso assentarĆ” no conceito da interoperabilidade dos sistemas.
O espectro de actuaĆ§Ć£o para um possĆvel substituto do Sistema de Armas F-16MLU terĆ” que ser enquadrado a nĆvel nacional e internacional, sendo para tal necessĆ”rio que as capacidades operacionais do Sistema de Armas sejam as adequadas Ć s reais necessidades da ForƧa AĆ©rea, elevando quer o grau de credibilidade, quer a participaĆ§Ć£o efectiva em missƵes da NATO.
Assim, e baseado no trabalho de campo efectuado, puderam ser validadas as hipĆ³teses formuladas, respondendo Ć questĆ£o central que orientou este trabalho de investigaĆ§Ć£o. Abstract: The F-16 MLU is one of the main pillars of Portuguese Air Force Structure and the main support for the National Air Defense.
Despite its broad spectrum of operational performance, the prospect of the replacement for the period 2025 to 2030 must be already being taken into account and planned. In this context using the research method in social sciences the following research work is based on the analysis of the impact in the Portuguese Air Force prime mission a non-replacement of the F-16MLU.
In this time frame period this research will focus the trends of the military instrument and specifically the Air Power the evolution of military operations the concept of transformation and use of air combat assets.
Despite being an efficient and balanced weapon system, the result of several updates that has been suffering, begins to feel the signs of obsolescence, hitherto mitigated by the partnerships that the Portuguese Air Force belongs. The entrance of European Participating Air Forces partners in replacement programs of this aircraft may begin to accelerate the ability of the Air Force to maintain this weapon system always updated. On the other hand due to obsolescence there are systems that are beginning to have a direct impact on operational capability.
Internationally the contribution to NATO during the mentioned period may be limited due to the constant evolution of technology to combat offensive and defensive where success will be based on the concept of interoperability.
The operational spectrum for a possible replacement for F-16 MLU Weapon System has to take on a national and international level and it is therefore necessary that the operational capabilities of the Weapon System is suited to the real needs of the Air Force bringing both the degree of credibility and effective participation in NATO missions.
Thus based on fieldwork carried out we validated the assumptions made answering the main question that guided this research work.
