This chapter deals with the lack of coherency between strategic reality—which uses deterrence as an essential strategic tool—and the prevailing law. Deterrence is a tool for enforcing compliance with the law; it promotes the containment of potential conflicts. It is pivotal in strategic thinking and, in many cases, an essential component of the national-defense strategy of law-abiding states. But although deterrence is central to the management of global security, in current international law deterrence considerations are perceived with suspicion and mistrust. It is perceived as an unlawful punitive measure. The lack of consensus on lawful deterrence, however, might create a vacuum that invites aggressors and transgressors. This chapter offers normative suggestions for introducing defensive deterrence and overcoming the practical problem of putting it into practice within the current contours of the law, by using the military professionalism criterion.

O autor evidencia as atribuições da Força Aérea Brasileira previstas no referido documento, que em síntese são as seguintes: prioridade da vigilância aérea; poder para assegurar a superioridade aérea local; capacidade para levar o combate a pontos específicos do território nacional; e domínio do potencial aeroestratégico. Assim, com vistas a dar cumprimento à sua missão institucional, o Comando da Aeronáutica elaborou o Plano Estratégico Militar da Aeronáutica (PEMAER), bem como o Projeto “Força Aérea 100”, o qual contém as diretrizes necessárias para orientar o futuro da Força Aérea Brasileira (FAB) nas próximas décadas.   This article aims to highlight the fundamentals of Aerospace Power and to identify the main attributions of the Brazilian Air Force established in the National Defense Strategy (NDS). The author brings to light doctrinal aspects of Air Power, or Aerospace Power, as well as its importance as a projection of military power, one of the expressions of national power, as prescribed in the doctrine of the Brazilian War College. The National Defense Strategy is analyzed in its most relevant aspects, highlighting its three structuring point facets, which deal respectively with: reorganization of the Armed Forces; the reorganization of the national defense industry; and the composition of the Armed Forces personnel. The author highlights the attributions of the Brazilian Air Force provided in the aforementioned document, which in summary are the following: priority of aerial surveillance; power to ensure local air superiority; ability to take combat to specific points in the national territory; and controlling of the strategic aviation potential. Thus, in order to fulfill its institutional mission, the Aeronautics Command elaborated the Aeronautical Military Strategic Plan (PEMAER- acronym in Portuguese), as well as the “Air Force 100” Project, which contains the necessary plans to guide the future of the Air Force (FAB) in the coming decades.
