Aerospace power as a means of geopolitical change: world space, Brazil and South America

Abstract

The current international fabric points to military aircraft as the technological means at the center of geopolitical affairs. The article's main objective is to understand the role, movements, and use of modern military aircraft in geopolitical and geostrategic dynamics in global space. The use of military aircraft is seen as a means of executing geostrategy through intensive military presence while exercises or territorial incursions define events that occurred after the Second World War. There is also the possibility of the Brazilian state as a means of inducing investments to increase the power of its air assets over its immediate surroundings. The reaffirmation of defense, the power of the state and its economic transformation all involve the geostrategy of Aerospace Power.
