The new doctrinal conception of Earth Force and Mechanization
The Age of Knowledge is an undeniable reality and the Brazilian Army seeks its transformation to insert this new dimension of the world stage

The Guarani Project

The creation of skills and capabilities to meet a new spectrum of activities, with a new concept of effectiveness to meet the new threats, it has become necessary way to the Brazilian Army (EB) guide their employment. In this mister, the Military Doctrine Earth, one of the vectors of the Army Transformation Process, has an essential role by presenting an indispensable dynamism to meet the demands of a world in which the nature of conflicts has a volatile and impregnated character of new technologies that ultimately determine the participation of society. Faced with a future less and less predictable, dealing with uncertainty became the challenge. The blurring environment worsens when there is a clearly defined opponent to motivate society to defense issues. The fight against terrorism, the protection of society against weapons of mass destruction, participation in peace-keeping missions under the aegis of international organizations and the control population groups or scarce resources (energy, water or food) become - is unequivocal aspects of possible employment of the military in defense of the Brazilian State The new dimension of war estament with features. odd emergence and permanence, requires allocation of materials with added technology and personnel training so that its structure has flexibility, adaptability, modularity, flexibility and sustainability, to act in the broad spectrum of operations. In this context, in which the operational readiness is the degree of effectiveness achieved by the doctrine put into action. The delimiters fields of conflict today (human, informational and physical) have a significant impact on the tax mode of operation of the military, including changing the military use material (MEM). The lethality of the military should be selective and effective, based on the use of materials enhanced by technology surrounding the world we live in. This environment completely changes the conditions for the decision of the commanders in activity. The focus of the operating environment analysis was concentrated on the physical dimension, considering the preponderance of terrain and weather factors on operations. Variations in the character and nature of the conflict, resulting from technological and social changes, impose a view that also considers the influence of human and informational dimensions of military operations and vice versa. In line with the National Strategy of Defense and the Doctrine the Armed Forces of most Western countries, the EB will adopt force generation through Based Scheduling Capabilities. . It is understood as the ability required capacity to a force or a military organization that can fulfill specific mission or task is obtained from a set of seven determinants, interrelated and inseparable that form the acronym DOAMEPI: doctrine, organization (and / or processes), training, material, education, personnel and infrastructure. Thus, capacity development will be underpinned by the analysis of the situation and future scenarios in order to identify concrete and potential threats to the state. As a reflection of the importance of the human dimension, it is necessary to adopt solutions that prioritize the reduction of the cost in human lives, human protection and the preservation of mental and physical well-being, for example, personal protective equipment, armored platforms and active and passive protection systems. In this light, and given that determines the vision of society on the intrinsic value of the war, the EB decided to adopt the new concept of armored vehicle for its mechanized troops, ie the New Family wheels Armored (NFBR), which has, in Guarani car, its clear definition of development MEM from the effort spearheaded by the domestic industry. The development of the Guarani car aims to meet the necessary transformation of the Motorized Infantry Brigade in Mechanized and imposing modernization of Brigades Mechanized Cavalry. The proposal to replace the Cascavel and Urutu cars, manufactured by Engesa in the 1980s, rescues the concept of operation as a basic objective of the Ground Force that falls in the Knowledge Era. We highlight the observance of the new concept of situational awareness so that Cars members of this NFBR can contribute effectively to the objectives it sets itself, for allowing the command and control of operations in support of tactical commander, be fully met. Brazil is facing a new concept of employment of the defense forces , based on alignment with its doctrine practiced by countries considered first world. The Pilot Project that is being implemented at the 15th Mechanized Infantry Brigade account initially with the distribution of Guarani vehicles to furnish the Units value battalion. How are great robustness of vehicles and high value-added technology, definitely belong in the EB Age Knowledge and can prepared human resources in various areas of expertise and enable the concept of tactical employment of fractions intended for homeland defense and assistance to international organizations in peacekeeping operations. The vehicles will have command and control system, offering software management of the battlefield interface with C² Combat System, wireless external communication framework for voice traffic, data and images, and be fully integrated into the electronic structure and the weapon system. The latter, depending on the version, may have a manual tower, remotely controlled with 30 mm cannon, remotely controlled machine gun, or a tower with 105 mm cannon for the Recognition Armored Car -. Average Wheels (VBR-MR) In the latter case, there is REMAX tower, manufactured by ARES company, located in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), in partnership with the Army Technology Center. REMAX allows the use of .50 and 7.62 mm machine gun and four 76 mm Grenade launchers, the former being remotely controlled weapons station manufactured and developed in Brazil, providing security and efficiency to garrison the vehicle, particularly in operations urban, perfectly adjusted with the thinking of people about the minimization of damage to life and the selectivity of weapon systems. Undoubtedly, the doctrinal evolution of EB, true transformational change concepts found in mechanization and the Guarani Project, the driving springs to catapult the expected range of bold goals in the Knowledge Era. The proposed hegemonic position in the South American scenario was facilitated at the proactivity that Brazil took on the road to transform the thought of defense in everyday reality. The defense industry as a partner of the Army and society as a beneficiary of this change process are supporters of a power Brazil.
