Potencial de contribuição da capacidade de ensaios em voo existente no Departamento de Ciência e Tecnologia Aeroespacial (2010 – 2019)

Abstract

The present work has aimed at an analysis of current contribution of Flight Test (FT) capacity existing in Aerospace Science and Technology Department (DCTA) for Science and Technology (S&T) knowledge and services within Aeronautical Command (COMAER), under Strategic Planning view. The work has been motivated from the observation of data which showed decrease in availability of resources dedicated to this activity along a period from year 2010 up to May 2019. By means of documental and bibliographic research it has been identified factors that influence increase or decrease of contribution potential of flight test capacity as settled in DCTA and these factors were organized in a SWOT matrix. Then, it has been analyzed current DCTA flight test capacity by means of the assembled matrix data cross analysis and it gave conclusion that there is a preserved potential of such capacity to support COMAER needs even under shrinkage occurred along the last years. General conclusion is that DCTA FT still preserves its capacity to contribute with S&T knowledge and services within COMAER but there are adjustments that shall be pursuit to guarantee this preservation.
