Emgepron, Águas Azuis, a company created by thyssenkrupp Marine Systems, Embraer Defense & Security and Atech have signed the contract for building four Tamandaré Class Ships. Deliveries are scheduled between 2025 and 2028.
The construction will take place in Itajaí, Santa Catarina State, Brazil, and is expected to have local content rates above 30% for the first vessel and 40% for the others. thyssenkrupp will supply the naval technology of its MEKO Class shipbuilding platform of defence vessels that is already in operation in 15 countries.
Embraer will integrate sensors and weaponry into the combat system, bringing also to the program its 50 years’ experience in systems technology solutions and in-service support. Atech, an Embraer Group company, will be the supplier of the CMS (Combat Management System) and IPMS (Integrated Platform Management System, from L3 MAPPS), and the recipient of technology transfer in cooperation with ATLAS ELEKTRONIK, a thyssenkrupp Marine Systems subsidiary that produces the CMS and sonar systems.
“ Looking back the great achievements we had since the construction of Tupi Class submarines in 1980s, it is a recognition of the technological excellence, reliability and longevity solutions we have offered for almost two centuries,” said Dr. Rolf Wirtz, CEO of thyssenkrupp Marine Systems. “The Tamandaré Class Programme will strengthen our ties by transferring technology and generating highly qualified jobs for the country.”
“The partnership validates our efforts to expand our defence and security portfolio beyond the aeronautical segment. Over the past few years, we have acquired expertise in developing and integrating complex systems, among others, in order to qualify Embraer to meet the needs of the Brazilian Navy, further strengthening our position as a strategic partner of the Brazilian State”, said Embraer Defense & Security President and CEO Jackson Schneider.
In addition to construction, the contract includes a sustained transfer of technology in naval engineering for building military ships and combat and platform management systems, as well as integrated logistical support and lifecycle management.
