Brazil-based aerospace company Embraer and the Brazilian Air Force signed a memorandum of understanding for the study and evaluation of capabilities needed for the conceptual design and development of UAV systems.
The Brazilian Air Force wants to develop drones with domestic resources within the country. “In modern war, it is essential to use unmanned aerial platforms, operating alone or in conjunction with conventional aircraft. Such technology makes it possible to reduce costs and risks, without losing effectiveness in fulfilling the missions assigned to the Brazilian Air Force”, Brazilian Air Force Commander, Lieutenant-Brigadier Carlos de Almeida Baptista Junior said.
