Prioritizing investments in science, technology, and innovation applied to defense products for military and/or dual use is essential to strengthening the Brazilian Defense Industry (BID) and the country’s technological autonomy. Since 2021, the Annual Defense Industry Results Report (RARBID) has monitored the BID. This study reviewed other defense sector mapping models focusing on the objectives of the National Defense Industrial Base Policy (PNBID), to suggest improvements to the RARBID. It was found that the RARBID, although well-structured, presents gaps and areas for improvement that can be addressed by incorporating elements of the PNBID and international mapping models, especially regarding the assessment of the involvement between the Ministry of Defense and the BID, the analysis of the interaction between BID companies and the Armed Forces, and the mapping of access to financial resources, the labor market, research, and development.
