  • BRAZILIAN Military Culture
    BRAZILIAN Military Culture 2018 Jack D. Gordon Institute for Public Policy | Kimberly Green Latin American and Caribbean Center By Luis Bitencourt The FIU-USSOUTHCOM Academic Partnership Military Culture Series Florida International University’s Jack D. Gordon Institute for Public Policy (FIU-JGI) and FIU’s Kimberly Green Latin American and Caribbean Center (FIU-LACC), in collaboration with the United States Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM), formed the FIU-SOUTHCOM Academic Partnership. The partnership entails FIU providing research-based knowledge to further USSOUTHCOM’s understanding of the political, strategic, and cultural dimensions that shape military behavior in Latin America and the Caribbean. This goal is accomplished by employing a military culture approach. This initial phase of military culture consisted of a yearlong research program that focused on developing a standard analytical framework to identify and assess the military culture of three countries. FIU facilitated professional presentations of two countries (Cuba and Venezuela) and conducted field research for one country (Honduras). The overarching purpose of the project is two-fold: to generate a rich and dynamic base of knowledge pertaining to political, social, and strategic factors that influence military behavior; and to contribute to USSOUTHCOM’s Socio-Cultural Analysis (SCD) Program. Utilizing the notion of military culture, USSOUTHCOM has commissioned FIU-JGI to conduct country-studies in order to explain how Latin American militaries will behave in the context

Analysis of Models Applicable to USAN* Eduardo Munhoz Svartman Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil Anderson Matos Teixeira Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil The creation of the Union of South American Nations (USAN) aroused expectations about joint development and production of military aircraft in South America. However, political divergences, technological asymmetries and budgetary problems made projects canceled. Faced with the impasse, this article approaches features of two military aircraft development experiences and their links with the regionalization processes to extract elements that help to account for the problems faced by USAN. The processes of adoption of the F-104 and the Tornado in the 1950s and 1970s by countries that later joined the European Union are analyzed in a comparative perspective. The two projects are compared about the political and diplomatic implications (mutual trust, military capabilities and regionalization) and the economic implications (scale of production, value chains and industrial parks).

  • Saab Receives Order for Maintenance of Airborne Radar System Erieye for Sweden
    PRESS INFORMATION Page 1 (2) Date Reference June 5, 2012 CU 12:019 E Saab receives order for maintenance of airborne radar system Erieye for Sweden Defence and security company Saab has received an order from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) for maintenance of the Erieye airborne radar system. The order amount is SEK 125 million. - We’re proud that FMV is showing continued confidence in us and we look forward to further developing the Erieye radar system together with our Swedish client, says Micael Johansson, head of Saab’s business area Electronic Defence Systems. The contract covers services for the Swedish Erieye-system (Airborne Surveillance and Control, ASC890). This work will include providing technical support for the unit operations, and research and development for the ASC890 sensor and command- and control system. Work will take place between 2012 and 2014. Erieye is mainly developed and produced by Saab in Gothenburg, but work will also be undertaken at other sites. The sensor-and command- and control system provide access to a detailed situational awareness that can be used for example for border survellance, rescue operations and for tackling terrorism and organised crime. Saab’s airborne radar surveillance system Erieye has been well received on the market. The first system was delivered in 1997 for aircraft model 340 for the Swedish Air Force. Customers of the Saab 340 system also include Thailand and the United Arab Emirate. The radar system has been installed on the Embraer 145 and delivered to Brazil, Mexico and Greece. Saab is also delivering Erieye to Pakistan, installed on the Saab 2000 aircraft.

  • Gender Policies and Armed Forces in Latin America's Southern Cone
    Gender Policies and Armed Forces in Latin America’s Southern Cone By Sabina Frederic & Sabrina Calandrón The present article first examines the contribution of international organizations to the formulation and implementation of gender integration policies in the armed forces of the Latin American Southern Cone’s three main countries : Argentina, Brazil and Chile. It focuses on and accounts for the various policy contents and levels of implementation in those nations during the 2000-2014 time-bracket as a result of the dissemination of United Nations (UN) Resolution 1325. The said resolution, adopted in 2000, reaffirmed the crucial role of women in the prevention and resolution of conflicts, peace negotiations, peace-building, peacekeeping, humanitarian response and post-conflict reconstruction, and stresses the importance of their equal participation and full involvement in all efforts for the maintenance and promotion of peace and security.1 The study analyzes the responses, influenced by their respective national contexts, of each of the three countries to that UN Resolution. It will additionally highlight the long- standing local initiatives of the three countries on this subject, and also the various points of contact at the transnational level : the latter clearly shows the distinct regional dimension of gender integration policies in the armed forces of Argentina, Chile, and – to a lesser extent – Brazil. It focuses on the factors that have contributed to such regional policy coherence, as well as those differentiating their gender agendas and policies. The particular concerns of each country, its government procedures, and the situation of its national defence institutions in the context of the democratization of the State and its armed forces are examined along the way.

    INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ORGANIZATION SOUTH AMERICAN REGIONAL OFFICE SAM‐AT Project Development Plan for the Sustainability of Air Transport Growth in the South American Region Institutional Strengthening Module of the Aircraft Accident Investigation Authorities DRAFT Lima, March 2017 1 Contents Executive summary 3 Introduction 9 Model used for the study 11 Authorities of the South American Region studied 17 Analysis of the independence of the authorities studied 59 Conclusions 63 DRAFT 2 Executive Summary The States of the South American Region are signatories to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, signed in Chicago on December 7, 1944 (Chicago Convention), and are Contracting States of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), body responsible for implementing the provisions of the Convention. As signatories to the Chicago Convention, States have adopted a legal and regulatory framework in the field of civil aviation, based on the provisions of the Convention and in the international standards, recommended practices and procedures prescribed in its 19 Annexes. In that context the civil aviation authorities formulate, promulgate and oversee the implementation of at se of national rules governing civil aviation, air transport and aircraft accident investigation among other aeronautical activities in each State. In conformity with Article 26 of the Chicago Convention, it is incumbent on the State in which an aircraft accident occurs to institute an inquiry into the circumstances of the accident. This obligation can be met only when appropriate legislation on aircraft accident investigation is in place. Such legislation shall make provision for the establishment of an accident investigation authority (or commission, board or other body) for the investigation of aircraft accidents and incidents that is independent from State aviation authorities and other entities that could interfere with the conduct or objectivity of an investigation.

  • A Comparative Study of Radar Innovation in Sweden and Australia
    Why innovation outcomes differ among defence innovation systems: a comparative study of radar innovation in Sweden and Australia Robert Charles Wylie A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Business UNSW@Canberra October 2014 ABSTRACT Why do nations at comparable stages of economic development, with comparable political systems and with access to comparable technologies perform differently in generating novel solutions to similar requirements for military capability? To address this question the thesis compared case studies of radar-based innovation in Sweden and Australia during the Cold War. The case studies were organised around the "building blocks" of a defence sectoral system of innovation which comprised institutions, actors and networks, military doctrine, technology and the exercise of demand. Development of innovative surveillance radars in, respectively, Sweden and Australia was then used to show how the functioning of those building blocks influenced the performance of the Swedish and Australian innovation systems. The performance of each system was then compared in terms of the time each took to develop their respective radars, the cost they incurred in doing so and the development/diffusion of those radars after their acceptance into Swedish and Australian service respectively. The comparison showed that distinctive features of each country's defence sectoral innovation system caused Australia to take longer than Sweden to develop a broad area surveillance radar, to incur higher costs in doing so, to pursue a narrower path of post-acceptance development of the radar and to impose more stringent constraints on the diffusion of the resulting technology.
