Business Focus:
The mission of the Navy aims to ""CONTRIBUTE FOR PORTUGAL TO USE THE SEA"" according to its interests. This statement synthesizes in a simple phrase the action of the Navy so that the sea can create value, making implicit a vast set of tasks that the Navy performs, or for which it contributes, in multiple action plans.The fulfillment of the Navy's mission is based on a set of key processes, responsible for the operational, scientific and cultural products, that is, the institutional product of the Navy. This includes military operations such as combating piracy, embargo and maritime interdiction missions, control of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction or the rescue of nationals of territories in conflict situations; marine research and rescue, fisheries inspection, support for the repression of illegal maritime activities in close collaboration with other State agents, scientific research in support of the project to extend the Portuguese continental shelf and cultural activities among museums, among others. In order for the Navy to be able to evolve and maintain its relevance, it is fundamental to promote continuous transformation in order to achieve a desired future situation. This transformation is achieved through the strategic management process.
