Tranferência de Tecnologias em Acordos Internacionais de Defesa: Uma Utopia?: A Transferência de Tecnologia no Programa de Desenvolvimento de Submarino: reflexos para a Marinha do Brasil

Abstract

Technology has always been used in military equipment which allows obtaining a tactical advantage over the enemy.For this reason, this knowledge is producedin the country, usuallythemost highly developed nation.Intoday's globalized world, technology transferin the military maybe consideredacommodity to betraded.Theinternational and national legislation, in the case of Brazil,this tradeallows and encourages. However, because it isamatter thatinvolvessecrecy,hasdifferentcharacteristics and peculiaritiesofany objectwhichsomehowinterferes with thenegotiation. The Strategic PartnershipAgreement between Braziland France, in 2008, establishing cooperationindefense andspecifically in the areaof submarines.In thisscenario, theNational Defense Strategystatesas the mainvector ofdenial oftheuse of marinenuclear-powered submarine. The Brazillian Navy hasahistory of successin the acquisitionof military equipmenttotransfer and application oftechnologyand createstheSubmarineDevelopment Programtodesignand build thenuclear-powered submarinein Brazil and toimplement thisgoal, it was worthof technology transferbetween thetwocountries, Brazil andFrance. To achieve the purpose,it is necessarythat thenational productive sectoris involvedin the processbecause itwill be whowillbuild thesubmarine.The Ministry ofDefensecreatesthe concept ofthe Defense Industrial Basethat will bethe catalystof the knowledgereceived andeffectivelybuild thenuclear submarine.This study aimedto analyze thetechnology transfer inSubmarineDevelopment Programand application of knowledgeacquired in theDefense IndustrialBasefor the construction ofnuclear submarinein Brazil.
