Abstract

ABSTRACT STRATEGIES AGAINST THE NEW THREATS: The SARP as a strategic tool for monitoring and protection at the border of the State of Amazonas This research aims to present the Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (SARP) as a strategic tool in combating new threats that occur on the Brazilian border limited by the state of Amazonas. A region that involves large distances, difficulty in moving around, borders formed by rivers and terrain with difficult access and impacted by river flood and ebb regimes, which make this part of the country a great challenge to monitor and defend. This is an issue that involves the country's sovereignty, as it is about protecting our border, therefore becoming a strategic region of our nation. To contribute to this fight that requires constant vigilance and readiness, the SARP brings together technologies that expand the Force's capacity, providing more accurate situational awareness. These systems have proven to be efficient around the world, whether being used as an intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance tool or as combat elements, carrying out offensive actions to benefit operations, their versatility has provided planners and executors with greater agility in the cycle. decision-making, saving resources and even more precise operations. This type of tool, when used in the border region of the state of Amazonas, will certainly contribute to the defense of the homeland and the fight against illicit activities that occur in that part of the country.
