Abstract

This monograph’s purpose is to understand what challenges the Brazilian Armed Forces has to deal when faced with the concept of interoperability, with an emphasis on the context of the Agata Operation. The Agata Operation was conceived from the decree that established the Strategic Border Plan (PEF), in 2011, aiming the combat and prevent of cross-border illicit activities, and, under the premise of the unity of efforts among the forces, it is characterized as an Interagency Operation. The methodological procedure used was the qualitative and analytical case study. A literature review was carried out as well as the analysis of Brazilian documents, decrees of law and reports related to the different modalities of military operation, to the United States as the precursor, and to the editions of the Agata Operation. Furthermore, an analysis about the aspects intrinsic to the Brazilian border reality was made in order to understand which elements influence the Agata as a whole, as well as on the execution of the missions. Thus, seeking to reach a final understanding, it was noticed that the Armed Forces faces challenges that encompass cultural, doctrinal, organizational, budgetary, and institutional aspects that have a direct impact on the interoperability, provoking a series of questions about it being possible, once considered its very low degree.
