Desenvolvimento avançado de tecnologia militar: Gerenciador do Campo de Batalha (GCB), Sistema Anti-Fratricídio Embarcado (SAFE) e Dispositivo de Simulação e Engajamento Tático (DSET)

Abstract

This study proposes the enhancement and development of three interdependent military devices for armored troops: the Battlefield Management System (GCB), the Embedded Anti-Fratricide System (SAFE), and a modernized version of the Tactical Engagement and Simulation Device (DSET). The GCB aims to improve communication between armored units, increase processing and storage capacity, and ensure more efficient battlefield management. The SAFE seeks to reduce fratricide incidents by alerting soldiers to potential friendly fire before a shot is fired, using ballistic calculations to assess risk and accelerate ally-enemy identification. The current DSET, already in use by the Brazilian Army, suffers from significant accuracy issues, compromising live simulations. Its upgraded version will integrate advanced technologies such as drones for geoprocessing, deep learning techniques, and internal and external sensors to enhance training fidelity and operational analysis. The project is justified by the need to modernize military equipment, making it more efficient and suited to modern combat challenges. The methodology combines Design Thinking for solution conception and the Waterfall model for technical development. Expected results include more efficient battlefield management, increased simulation accuracy, reduced operational errors, and better system integration. The study concludes that the project not only addresses critical limitations of current equipment but also strengthens national technological sovereignty, ensuring greater independence in military solutions and enhancing the operational capabilities of the armed forces.
