• Abstract:

  The main objective of this work is to present analysis results from airport pavement assessments within the framework of a military Airport Pavement Management System (SGPA) being developed by the Air Force Infrastructure Directorate (DIRINFRA). The monitored network comprises 18 airports with pavements managed by the Brazilian Air Force, evaluated between 2018 and 2021, accounting for approximately 4.2 million square meters of surface distributed throughout the national territory. The analyzes considered data from evaluations carried out using the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) method, performance forecast, regional costs per intervention adopted and investment policies for proposing Maintenance and Restoration (M&R) services. Indicators were developed to support decision-making for the monitored airport network and scenario projections were carried out according to strategies that varied between “doing nothing”, annual budget restriction and “ideal interventions” in terms of performance for an analysis period of 15 years. The results are presented synthetically in the form of multiannual intervention plans, with the financial and operational impacts resulting from the adoption of each strategy. The importance of adopting an SGPA at the airport network level is highlighted, especially by central entities managing airport infrastructure, as found in the scope of Public Administration.
