Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze if the ASTROS syst/em can be used as a tool for strategic deterrence. The article draws on research from a thorough literature review focused on the Artillery Saturation Rocket Syst/em (ASTROS), strategic aspects of the Brazilian National Defense Strategy (NDS), the Land (Terrestrial) Military Strategy, and foreign nation’s use of similar artillery pieces. Additionally, a key aspect of this study is the analysis of the Anti-Access Area Denial (A2/AD) strategy. This study finds that the ASTROS system can serve as a component of A2/AD, concluding on its ability to collaborate with strategic deterrent. Finally, the work explores how land forces can effectively contribute in the construction of the land military capabilities by virtue of what was established in the to the NDS.
