Operação interagências: um novo conceito de operação para o CISMAR

Abstract

This monography discusses the conditions that led the evolution of the Naval Control of Shipping Command to the new Brazilian Navy Integrated Maritime Security Center and the form of interagency relationship established between institutions that have related tasks in the Brazilian maritime environment. The aim of this paper is to analyze the extent to which interagency operations coordinated by the Integrated Maritime Security Center can increase Maritime Domain Awareness and improve Maritime Security in Brazilian jurisdictional waters. The adopted methodology comprised a bibliographic and documentary research, aiming to search theoretical references. Due to the recent creation of the integrated center and the lack of references, the study was complemented by descriptive research using direct techniques, such as interviews with naval officers and agents of government organizations that participate in the interagency relationship with the center. The conclusion indicates that the new Brazilian Navy Integrated Maritime Security Center will contribute directly to the improvement of Maritime Domain Awareness and Maritime Security in Brazilian jurisdictional waters, contributing to the country's Development, Security and Defense.
