Tecnologia do Sistema Integrado de Monitoramento de Fronteiras – SISFRON: como o tema é abordado

Abstract

Security has become an important ally for the protection of Brazilian society, both for individuals and companies in all sectors. Public security policies are essential for the country. Based on Article 142 of the Federal Constitution, the Brazilian Army, as a constituent of the armed forces, has strategic projects to contribute to national public security, including the Integrated Border Monitoring System (SISFRON). In this context, this study aims to analyze the content produced on SISFRON in theses and dissertations from 2015 to 2020. This research is justified by the importance of public policies in border areas, especially with the possibility of implementing an integrated monitoring system. This study is basic, qualitative, exploratory, descriptive, and bibliographic in nature. Data collection gathered documents related to theses and dissertations. Searches were conducted on the CAPES Theses and Dissertations Catalog and the OASISBr database, considering works from 2015 to 2020. In total, 30 publications were found, 17 on the CAPES platform and 13 on the OASISBr platform. The keyword used for searches was SISFRON. Although the organization was created in 2012, no work with a date before 2015 was found. The results of these studies indicated some benefits of SISFRON in different areas: political; security; and monitoring in regions that were previously not assisted by public security, high technology for surveillance and monitoring, minimizing drug trafficking and smuggling, guaranteeing law and order. In the economic sphere: employability; civic-social action for society where the armed forces operate. The logistical infrastructure provided for the military's work through SISFRON can generate improvements in the state's highways, such as the BR-163 and BR-262 highways, as well as other aspects such as the telecommunications and electrical network in the region where the system's actuators are located. The budget allocated to SISFRON has become one of the main limitations of the system, as there has been a reduction in funding for the program's maintenance. This results in a delay in the project's implementation and, consequently, in its complete implementation in the border area, generating a setback for the system.
