Programa Fragatas Classe Tamandaré :a obtenção de meios navais e o apoio logístico integrado

Abstract

“TAMANDARÉ” CLASS FRIGATES PROGRAM: The acquisition of naval resources and Integrated Logistics Support . The life cycle includes the entire spectrum of activity of a given System of Interest (SI), starting with the identification of the need and extending through the design and development of the system, production and/or construction, its operational use and maintenance support, and the disposal of the material. The purpose of Integrated Logistics Support is to make maximum availability compatible with minimum operating and maintenance costs of the Defense System, through the analysis of the logistical aspects and their implications, from conception to disposal. This work had as its research object the “Tamandaré” Class Frigate Program (PFCT): The acquisition of naval resources and Integrated Logistic Support. The main objective that motivated the research was to evaluate whether the regulatory framework for Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) of the Brazilian Navy (MB) is aligned with the best practices for Defense Systems, recommended by the Brazilian Ministry of Defense. The specific objectives include analyzing whether the procurement process in the PFCT follows the Brazilian Navy standards and whether the documents provided by the Contractor are in compliance with the Technical References. The research explores concepts of logistics, life cycle and life cycle management of defense systems, in addition to presenting the structuring of the ILS in the PFCT. The restructuring of the Material Sector, the creation of the Navy Program Management Directorate (DGePM) and EMGEPRON, as a new business model, in order to implement the PFCT were also explored. The research uses primary and secondary sources, including official documents and reports from competent agencies in Brazil and the USA, and focuses on the PFCT scheduled for completion in 2029. The results obtained with similar projects of the US Navy were analyzed: "Constellation" Class Frigate and "Freedom" Class Littoral Combat Ships. At the end, the conclusions of the analyses regarding the Brazilian Navy standards that deal with ILS and GCV were presented
