Embraer and the Brazilian Army sign Technical Cooperation Agreement to study Artillery Counter-battery Radar System
Campinas – Brazil, December 9, 2021 –
Embraer and the Department of Science and Technology at the Brazilian
Army (DCT) today signed a Technical Cooperation Agreement establishing
cooperation in joint studies and analysis of technical and operational
concepts, as well as the evaluation of the capabilities needed for the
design and development of the Artillery Counter-battery Radar System.
“We
are very pleased to sign this Technical Cooperation Agreement with
Embraer. In recent decades, the fruitful partnership between the company
and the Brazilian Army has consolidated strategic knowledge in radar
and border surveillance systems for Brazil, with the implementation and
supply of defense systems and military material for benefit Strategic
Programs, such as the SISFRON and the Anti-Aircraft Defense. As a result
of this joint effort, Brazil now belongs to a group of countries that
master radar technology and manufacturing. We are sure that this
cooperation will allow us further existing initiatives, perpetuating
knowledge, retaining technologies, and expanding strategic capabilities
for the Ground Force,” said Army Science and Technology Department
Chief, General Guido Amin Naves.
The
Cooperation Agreement aims to promote joint preliminary studies of
technical and operational concepts in Artillery Counter-battery Radar
System. The Agreement will also identify technological and industrial
usage for Radar System levels already developed by the Army’s
Technological Center in partnership with Embraer for design, research,
and development of potential Artillery Counter-battery Radar System that
meet Brazilian Army requirements.
“With
this agreement, we will expand Embraer’s expertise in research and
development of the radar and ground systems field, including sensors and
their civilian and military applications. Embraer’s history is a
succession of technological challenges, often brought about by the needs
of our clients and partners, which has always led us to improve our
engineering and industrial expertise in the development, homologation,
testing, manufacturing, marketing, and technical support of the most
varied products,” said Jackson Schneider, President, and CEO of Embraer
Defense & Security.
