“…Relating our results to the results of earlier research in the same geographic region, the article by Simões et al [2] also identified a relationship between UIG, leading to a TH approach. Similar results were identified in the Brazilian Army, which in 2016 created the defense, industry and academy system (SisDIA) of innovation, operating in a TH model, to promote the development of innovations by taking advantage of the presence of the army in all regions of the country [67]. In Portugal, due to DTIB's segmentation, the UIG is managed in consortia supported by the government.…”

Quintuple Helix Innovation Model for the European Union Defense Industry—An Empirical Research

The European defense industry is undergoing profound upheavals, and traditional innovation models may no longer be adequate. For this reason, further investigation is needed to know if the triple helix (TH) is suitable for one of the most influential industries in the world. If not suitable, it is necessary to identify which type of n-helices are appropriate. This article follows an embedded case study research strategy that uses several sources of data collection such as interviews with active-duty military personnel, scholars, the defense industry, and interagency professionals. Field notes and official documentation were also collected for corroboration and triangulation purposes. The results showed that the defense industry is increasingly globalized, leaving the national sphere and weakening the action and participation of European Union governments. This research resulted in the design of a quintuple helix innovation model for the defense industry, which was based on a TH combined with technology and the natural environment. We concluded that the traditional TH may not be adequate for the entry of new supranational players and that political contributions are subject to a further response by the European states. Scientific research is also needed, especially in Asian and American countries, which have national defense policies different from those of Europe.

“…The topics responsible for the growing number of publications since 2018 are mainly related to defence innovation and technology transfer of the Spanish defence industry (Briones-Peñalver et al 2020;Oliva et al 2019;Callado-Muñoz et al 2020), the expansion of the Chinese Defence industry (Béraud-Sudreau and Nouwens 2021; Dominese 2020), and the Brazilian R&D projects (Bernat and Karabag 2018;Silva and Olavo-Quandt 2019;Fernandes et al 2020). The most notable investment in research refers to the Spanish defence industry, which is also shown in Figure 3 (top 3 countries).…”

Defence industries and open innovation: ways to increase military capabilities of the Portuguese ground forces

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The European Defence Industry is undergoing profound changes. Industrial activity is now operating on a quintuple helix innovation model with the deep involvement of universities and governments in innovation. In addition, military innovations are being transferred to civil society, with increasing attention paid to the environment. In the first stage, we report on the state-of-the-art of existing research using PRISMA protocol. The PRISMA technique is widely accepted by the academic community for its ability to discover concepts, ideas, and debates about the defence industry. In the second stage, we present a case study involving the Portuguese Defence Industry, for which multiple data collection sources were used to ensure triangulation and corroboration. The results show that, in the light of the quintuple helix innovation model, it was possible to bring applications from theoretical discussion to real life. Moreover, within the scope of the triple helix, it was possible to develop, produce and test military products, allowing to improve the military capacity of ground forces. In the future, ecological concerns will likely increase, so we suggest a greater focus on this area of research.

“…A successful example of the interaction in ecosystems for the defense sector is Route 128 in Massachusetts, USA, which aggregates technological interests, high skilled human resources, infrastructure and the existence of venture capital in the region through the government, industries and academia (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University) (Silva & Quandt, 2019).…”

“…While previous research on R&D investments in the Brazilian defense sector focused on innovation policies (Leske, 2018) and impacts of innovation governance on the regional development of science parks (Silva & Quandt, 2019;Silva, Sá, & Spinosa, 2019), current research still does not present the phases of the innovation processes involved in the sector. In our study, we intend to evaluate the model of the innovation processwhich is promoted by investment policies and present in industrial and academic ecosystemsthrough an applied research that aims to identify the common features among the projects.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe and compare seven case studies of strategic innovation projects of the Brazilian army; these projects present high transformational potential and high investments and are supported by technology and science policies. Design/methodology/approach The authors present herein multiple case studies in which the authors conduct a documentary analysis of the innovation processes in the Brazilian army, as well as semi-structured interviews conducted with eight servicemen with more than 15 years of working experience. Findings The results obtained suggest that the innovation process occurs in four stages: creation, selection, development and diffusion of ideas. Practical implications The research is relevant because it presents how the interaction between the Brazilian army, companies and academia strengthens the innovation ecosystem, stimulating the development of best practices for the management of strategic projects. Originality/value The main contribution of this study is to present the strategic project management of innovation based on public policies and investment in projects of the Brazilian army, which are drivers for the development of ecosystems that promote the creation and expansion of companies, the diffusion of technological knowledge in universities, and suitable solutions for the military sector.
