Brazilian Navy releases new 20-year plan

By Victor Barreira
The Brazilian Navy is looking to acquire medium-sized general-purpose helicopters and attack, anti-submarine (ASW) and reconnaissance helicopters, according to the recently released Brazilian Navy latest Strategic Plan (Plano Estratégico da Marinha 2040/PEM 2040).

The Plan, which was publicly released on 10 September, calls for a host of other new measures to be implemented over the next 20 years. For example, the Navy wants to significantly increase research-and-development (R&D) to develop shipboard systems such as communications, detection, navigation, and electronic warfare. The R&D increases are also meant to help boost the country's Defence Technological and Industrial Base (DTIB).

The Navy also wants to achieve a minimum of 65% of ships and aircraft operational availability, create a cyber-warfare squadron, and bolster its satellite ability to intercept maritime communications.

According to the Plan, the Navy is now going to focus more heavily on operations in the Southern Atlantic Ocean, paying particular attention to threats such as piracy, illegal fishing, organised crime, urban conflicts, natural resources dispute, cyber warfare, terrorism, illegal access to knowledge, the pandemics, natural disasters, and environmental issues.

The document, which does not describe exact schedules, also covers a range of modernisation projects that were previously planned or initiated, but not yet effectively implemented or concluded. These include the acquisition of vessels (mine-hunting ships, escort ships, aircraft carriers, a logistics support ship, coastal and offshore patrol ships, Antarctic support ship, training ships, and survey ships), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), fighter jets, and lightweight training and utility helicopters. In addition, the Plan aims at the enlargement and modernisation of equipment used by the Marines Corps, the development of anti-ship missiles, and the local construction of the country's first nuclear-powered submarine SN Álvaro Alberto.

Resolução comentada

O Plano inclui projetos já planejados ou iniciados, mas não concluídos.

O 4º parágrafo diz que o documento cobre projetos de modernização "previously planned or initiated, but not yet effectively implemented or concluded". Isso corresponde à alternativa E: projetos iniciados e não terminados.

Análise das alternativas

A) Errada: o PEM 2040 foi divulgado em 2020 e cobre os próximos 20 anos, não começa em 2040. B) Errada: o texto diz que o P&D deve ajudar a impulsionar a base industrial e tecnológica de defesa (DTIB). C) Errada: o Plano abrange ciberguerra, satélites, P&D e outras áreas, não só patrulha marítima. D) Errada: o texto afirma que o documento não descreve cronogramas exatos.
