Abstract

Under the light of Defense and Integrate Security issues in Brazil is of utmost importance concentrating efforts on the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) Dimension 22 and its respective objectives, which, in order to be attended, require the strengthening of Brazilian airpower, what is described on the National Defense Strategy (END). As a result, the searching for air command and, consequently, for space command is something particularly important in order to enable Brazil to control, integrate and protect its 22 million km2. This context encompasses the FAB strategic projects, the F-X2 Gripen and the KC 390 Millenium, which will be analyzed under the perspective of an alleged complementarity and contribution to the rising of Brazilian air power, based on an exploratory study that allows the elaboration of hypothesis and according to a qualitative methodology. It is expected to verify if such projects can contribute to Brazilian Defense and Security.
