Resumo(s)
A constante inovação tecnológica é um dos fatores da constante mudança dos diversos ambientes operacionais de combate, o surgimento de novas tecnologias moldam a forma de condução das operações, constituindo-se cada vez mais como um complemento essencial ao soldado. É importante acompanharmos essa evolução tecnológica, de forma a podermos equipararmo-nos a outras forças militares, bem como garantir uma interoperabilidade entre forças aliadas. É ainda importante proporcionar aos baixos escalões, meios que aumentem a sua segurança e facilidade de atuação no decorrer das suas ações.
Desta forma surge a presente investigação abordando a implementação de sistemas mini, micro e nano unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) nos escalões Pelotão e Secção de Infantaria. Esta tem como objetivo entender que forma se poderão implementar os sistemas UAV nos escalões referidos, quais as vantagens e limitações dos mesmos, modos de emprego e considerações a serem tidas em conta na implementação dos sistemas UAV abordados.
Relativamente à metodologia utilizada nesta investigação foi utilizado o método indutivo, baseando-se na análise de dados e de resultados sobre um fenómeno particular com o objetivo de alcançar a generalização teórica. Recorreu-se a uma abordagem qualitativa, consistindo na compreensão de significados, opiniões e comportamentos de modo a alcançar hipóteses e teorias. Desta forma foram realizadas um conjunto de entrevistas a elementos que já experienciaram a utilização destes sistemas, bem como a elementos que nunca tiveram contacto com os mesmos.
Os resultados alcançados indicam que estes sistemas têm uma enorme aplicação para as operações militares, auxiliando imenso principalmente os comandantes dos escalões abordados na investigação, no comando e controlo das suas unidades, no planeamento das operações e no aumento da segurança durante as mesmas. Conclui-se ainda que é necessário considerar uma série de conjunturas, como a frequência do emprego destes sistemas, qual o elemento que se constituirá como operador e quais as considerações táticas a serem tidas em conta na utilização destes sistemas, de modo a não se constituírem como um elemento limitador à condução das diversas missões atribuídas às forças.
The constant technological innovation, is one of the factors behind the constant change in various combat operational environments. The emergence of new technologies shapes the way operations are conducted, increasingly becoming an essential complement to the soldier. It is important to keep up with this technological evolution, in order to equip ourselves like other military forces and ensure interoperability among allied forces. It is also importante, to provide lower ranks with means to enhance their safety and ease of action during their missions. This research focuses on the implementation of mini, micro, and nano unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems in platoon and infantry section levels. The objective is to understand how UAV systems can be implemented in these levels, their advantages and limitations, ways of employment, and considerations to be taken into account during their implementation. Regarding the methodology used in this research, an inductive method was employed, based on the analysis of data and results of a particular phenomenon in order to achieve theoretical generalization. A qualitative approach was utilized, involving the understanding of meanings, opinions, and behaviors to reach hypotheses and theories. Therefore, a series of interviews were conducted with individuals who have already experienced the use of these systems, as well as those who have never had contact with them. The results obtained indicate that these systems have significant applications in military operations, greatly assisting the commanders of the levels addressed in the research, in the command and control of their units, operational planning, and increased security during missions. It is also concluded that a range of circumstances needs to be considered, such as the frequency of using these systems, the personnel who will serve as operators, and the tactical considerations when employing these systems, so as not to become a limiting factor in carrying out the various missions assigned to the forces.
