Nova Tecnologia para Vigilância Patrimonial da Amazônia

The article presents a proposed methodology for the patrimonial surveillance of the Brigadeiro Velloso Testing Ground (CPBV), utilizing radar images from the Radarsat-1 satellite. The methodology aims to identify the presence of invaders in the patrimonial area, especially during the phase of unauthorized occupation. Radar images are effective as they can be obtained under any weather conditions, allowing for the detection of deforestation and other changes in the terrain. The proposal not only meets the needs of COMAER but can also be applied to other patrimonial areas in the Amazon. Implementing this methodology is crucial for preserving patrimonial integrity and for conducting military activities at CPBV, which faces challenges due to the invasion of areas rich in natural resources.
