This paper aims to analyze the Public Procurement of Innovation (PPI) model applied to complex defense systems acquisition processes, the opportunities generated by this type of contracting as well as its legal security. The research included literature and document review, considering the literature that addresses the process of obtaining defense products in Brazil, since PPI could benefit the national defense industrial base in the development of technological solutions capable of replacing options provided by the international market, which historically have been subject to restrictions and embargoes by countries that have control over sensitive technologies. The study demonstrated that despite the possibility provided by the legislation, few processes for defense systems acquisition have relied on PPI, until now. The research allowed us to conclude that due to the complexity of a process of complex defense systems acquisitions, the full use of PPI will only be possible through the elaboration of an internal regulation by the Ministry of Defense detailing the process to be followed when contracting a product through a PPI approved by the Audit Institutions.
