Antiacesso e negação de área (A2/AD): desafios e oportunidades para defesa do litoral brasileiro

Abstract

This study addresses the application of the Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) strategy as a deterrent method and ultimately as a defensive model to protect the vast Brazilian coastline. Considering the complexity and challenges associated with this strategy, we sought to explore viable measures for its implementation, focusing on the integration of the Armed Forces, development of technologies and creation of specific doctrines. To this end, a methodological approach was adopted that involves comparative documentary analysis, using reports, doctrines and existing literature to support the study. It is important to highlight that, despite being a topic more frequently addressed in relation to great powers such as China, Russia and the USA, its application in the Brazilian context is still incipient, requiring careful analysis adapted to the country's particularities.
