“For
the Brazilian Navy, the modernization of the AF-1 aircraft at Embraer
is another important step in capacitating base of Brazil’s defense
industry, and the results achieved will allow Naval Aviation to operate
an aircraft with state-of-the-art sensors and equipment, representing
a large forward leap in the Navy’s capacity,” said Fleet Admiral
Eduardo Bacellar Leal Ferreira, Navy Commander. “This is the first contract for systems integration that we have signed with the Brazilian Navy and, therefore, is a landmark in our relations,” said Jackson Schneider, President and CEO of Embraer Defense & Security. “The modernization of the AF-1 was a significant technological challenge, since it is a platform that we did not develop. Nevertheless, with the support and competence of the staff of the Brazilian Navy, we were able to deliver a solution that fully meets the operational needs of our client in demonstration of our commitment to the Navy’s projects.” |
