Brazilian Army Strategic Programs
21st Century
The Brazilian Army Strategic Programs (PEE) are the great vectors of Brazilian Army transformation, providing new capabilities to it, enabling the fulfillment of its constitutional mission, notably society defense, through the generation of power and the appreciation of the human dimension.
In order to achieve the established objectives, Brazilian Army created Army Projects Office (EPEx), in 2010, whose mission is to manage, supervise and coordinate the Army's Strategic Projects.
In addition to fulfilling the missions established in the constitution, strategic programs also deliver other benefits to society. Whether promoting social peace, generating jobs or increasing research, development and innovation, they promote the Army alignment with the demands of the new times, contributing to the expansion of the capacity through the projection of power in the military, scientific, technological and economic fields.
