Abstract

Since the end of the Cold War and the events of September 11th, new threats have emerged, impacting the perception of collective security and imposing modifications in the way of the military power of several nations. This phenomenon has been causing a boiling in the military sciences, with reflex in the social, political and economic field, provoking a process known as Transformation of the Defense, which is only viable with the disruption of traditional management models and with the introduction of a new organizational culture that promotes an environment appropriate to the process of innovations in the sector.The current model of the System of Defense Sector Innovations, as pointed out by the investigation, is fragmented and disjointed, producing, at best, incremental innovations and, rarely, those ones related to rupture. The research, with a structuralist epistemological character, aimed to unveil the underlying structurethat gives supports the existing innovation culture in the sectorin a hidden way.Additionally, the concepts of innovations of the Defense sector (technological and doctrinal), were presented of system of innovations and, also the three-dimensional model of analysis, containing elements of the innovation culture of the sector: interests of the agents (illusio), valuation factors of innovation (valorem); support factors (capitis), alliances (alliances) andits benefits (Beneficium).
