Defense system, industry and academy: The conceptual model of innovation of the brazilian army

Abstract

This article intends to identify the technological parks existing in the headquarters of military regions of the Brazilian Army, with the premise that these habitats are capable of forming nuclei of governance of technological innovation. The problem is that since the year of 2016, the Brazilian Army created the Defense, Industry and Academy System (SisDIA) of Innovation, a conceptual model of the Triple-Helix, aiming to promote the development of innovations taking advantage of the Army presence in all regions of the country. For that, methodologically, it was chosen to conduct a research with an exploratory, qualitative and descriptive approach, and the case study of the Brazilian Army. It was possible to conclude that through SisDIA and the implantation of governance nuclei of innovation in the Brazilian Army, inserted in technological parks, there will be a possibility of interaction between the Triple-Helix (government-industry-academy), in a collaborative way, intending to reinforce the scientific and technological expression of the actors involved and to boost the development in social and economic dimensions according to regional potentialities.
