Apoio logístico integrado: análise de sua aplicação no processo de aquisição do Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) pelo Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais

Abstract

The study analyzes the challenges involved in implementing Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) during the acquisition process of the 4x4 Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) by the Brazilian Marine Corps (CFN), within the context of the Brazilian Navy’s efforts to modernize its expeditionary capabilities. This qualitative and exploratory research examines the normative foundations of ILS established in the DGMM-0130 and MATERIALMARINST-33-01 directives, assessing their practical application throughout the JLTV acquisition phases. The results indicate that, although procurement through the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program ensured standardization and expanded the CFN’s operational capabilities, it also imposed constraints on life-cycle management. The absence of an Integrated Logistic Support Team (EALI) and a formal Integrated Logistic Support Plan (PALI) limited the integration of logistic actions during the early stages of the project. Nevertheless, the incorporation of the JLTV demonstrated the institutional commitment of the Force to modernization and to the application of the principles of Integrated Logistic Support. The establishment of dedicated technical infrastructure, the training of specialized teams, and the adoption of practices aligned with international standards strengthened autonomy, efficiency, and logistic sustainability, consolidating significant progress in the maturity and integrated management capability of the Brazilian Navy.
