Na primavera de 2026, a Marinha do Brasil batizou o navio-patrulha Mangaratiba, mais um passo numa jornada de décadas para construir soberania tecnológica nas águas imensas da Amazônia e além. A bordo, o sistema de gerenciamento de combate ATENA — desenvolvido pela empresa brasileira ARES Aerospace and Defense — já não é promessa: é realidade operacional presente em dez plataformas navais. O evento convida a refletir sobre como nações constroem autonomia estratégica não por decreto, mas pela acumulação paciente de competências técnicas enraizadas em necessidades reais.
