There is a hypothetical necessity of Brazilian National Defense as for the implementation of RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems), commonly known as drones, in their tactical and strategic operations. Even the RPAS providing countless applications and even replacing the use of conventional aircraft, piloted by onboard pilots, was identified a lack of better exploitation of the problematic situation, starting from the following questioning: Why is it necessary to use RPAS in National Defense operations and what is the purpose of a particular implementation? Furthermore, if Brazilian security sectors and military forces would like to implement those systems, which would be the best choices? Develop or buy technology? Use in which areas and missions? In this context, we propose to build a value model for structure the problematic situation based on Value- Focused Thinking (VFT) combined with Systems Thinking approaches. The multimethodology proposed, seeks to provide a better understanding of the problem, identifying the strategic and fundamental objectives, what could make it possible to quantify them through an assigned utility value, indicating an enlightened solution. Therefore, using an objective-driven approach and a holistic understanding for supporting that strategic decision in Brazilian National Defense.
