Dimensionando Explosivos em Cabeça de Guerra para o Efeito de Sopro
Authors: Silva Wilson Carlos Lopes , Iha Koshun , Ferreira Paulo Cesar Miscow
Published: December 2024

The detonation of an explosive results in the production and consequent violent release of compressed gases. The energy produced propagates quickly through the medium (air or water), causing pressure variations, forming an explosive wave, which propagates at a speed greater than that of sound. This wave front, with high dynamic pressure and supersonic speed, is known as a shock wave and gives the detonation enormous rupture power. The terminal effect of this shock wave is called Breath or blast effect. This work studies the blast effect generated by a shock wave on military targets, describes the relationship between detonation pressure and explosive mass, aiming to optimize the quantity of explosives, as well as their distance from the target to be neutralized. Knowing, through mathematical methods and equations, the pressure generated by the shock wave resulting from the detonation of a certain amount of chemical explosive at a certain distance from the focus, as well as the limits supported by certain structures, it is possible, with the relationship of these parameters, prepare dynamic tables in electronic spreadsheets, generating quick-to-read graphs that can assist in sizing the mass of explosives for the effect of blowing on heads of war to cause damage to a specific target.
Tópicos de Planejamento Estratégico no Setor de Defesa e na Força Aérea Brasileira
Authors: Silva Luiz Maurício de Andrade da , Almeida Martinho Isnard Ribeiro de
Published: December 2024

This article analyzes topics concerning the strategic planning of the defense sector and of the Brazilian Air Force, as an argument that, contradicting the axioms, it would be the strategic thought, and not the juridical methods to control the public administrators’ actions, that may serve as effective tool in the construction of the project for an ideal nation, which does not exist in Brazil yet. Such argument begins with the opposition between the bureaucratic state and the managerial state, to, afterwards, revisit the renowned bibliography of strategic planning, obtaining by this way the seals of the sketch to the strategic planning that it is intended to be made. Once the theoretical recital was accomplished, and discussed the strategic orientation formulated according to Ansoff (1983) and Porter´s (1989) assumptions, the conclusions are presented, assuming that the country – in the aeronautical and aerospacial sectors – may have lost part of the superiority formerly conquered, in the pioneers’ times, founders of the Technological Institute of Aeronautics (ITA) and of Embraer. Many variables indicate that great investments in aeronautical and aerospacial technology are still needed in order to accomplish a good surveillance and reconnaissance work for the huge borders, and for the protection of the diversity of Brazilian natural resources.
Lições da Campanha de Interdição no Vietnã
Authors: Júnior Enio Beal
Published: December 2024

Recent documents produced by different nations agree that one of the most likely future scenarios in which the Armed Forces will be involved in the future is irregular warfare. In regards to the Air Force, contemporary conflicts also showed the increasing presence of two additional aspects: political restraints and limitations, for different reasons; and the will to employ Air Power, at least initially, for not to commit ground troops. These were also the circumstances under which the Vietnam War was fought, a conflict where Air Interdiction played a major role. This paper assesses the efficacy of interdiction in that particular event of history. Critically evaluating the related literature, it concludes that, in certain instances, the interdiction effort in Vietnam can be considered a tactical success, although it was never a strategic one. Finally, having identified enduring lessons, this paper presents ten propositions which may be useful to the modern Operational Level commander.

Authors: Junior João Spencer Ferreira da Costa
Published: December 2024

The F-5M and Mirage 2000C acquisition by the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) started a new era in its operational level, due to the introduction of medium range air-to-air missiles (BVR) launching capability. This entirely new way of air power employment demanded an enormous change in the technical and operational levels of its air defense controllers. Starting from this operational gap, this paper aims to investigate the participation of an air defense controller in a BVR combat scenario and identify the competences required to perform his operational duties. The goal is to provide reliable data to the reformulation of air defense controller’s undergraduate formation and postgraduate training programs. To reach this goal, an exploratory research was performed, by defining a theoretical model through process-mapping of a typical BVR engagement, using USAF-developed IDEF0 model, as well as by identifying the competences required of an air defense controller in a BVR scenario, according to Durand’s definition. With this theoretical basis established, it was possible to do a survey with pilots of 1º/14º GAV and 1º GDA, the two first FAB squadrons to introduce the BVR capability in service. The data collected were analyzed through descriptive statistical methods and provided the answers to the research initial question. It was concluded that air defense controller’s participation is more important in the BVR engagement phases defined as detection, identification, commit and threat reaction. It was also identified 31 competences required of an air defense controller to perform his operational duties.

The activities of a monograph ot the Air Force Academy (AFA) have suffered, over time, a process of transformation, both in their formalistic and in their academic intentions. During these changes, there have been observed, specially in the last three years, some of the difficulties experienced in the preparation of this academic work, which has even helped to think over its suppression of the curriculum for the training of future Air Force Officers. However, while identifying the main difficulties, we believe in the possibility of appointing new perspectives regarding the process of knowledge production in the AFA, so that all the efforts related to the research activity be valued regardless of theoretical, methodological or epistemological perspectives adopted.
