Embraer and the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) signed an agreement on Tuesday at Mostra BID, the National Defense and Security Fair in Brasilia, to deepen collaborative studies aimed at expanding the capabilities of the C-390 Millennium platform for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions, with a focus on Maritime Patrol.
"The studies to adapt the C-390 Millennium aircraft to ISR missions have evolved in a structured way, analyzing the aircraft's capability to evolve in order to meet the current and future needs of the Brazilian Air Force, especially in relation to Maritime Patrol," said Lieutenant-Brigadier Marcelo Kanitz Damasceno, Commander of the Brazilian Air Force.
"We are honored to move forward with the FAB on studies to expand the operational capabilities of the C-390 Millennium. It reinforces our commitment to always offer our customers an aircraft capable of carrying out their most challenging missions with unparalleled efficiency," said Bosco da Costa Junior, President and CEO of Embraer Defense & Security. "This is another important step in the long-term relationship built with the FAB."
The aircraft is already considered by its end users as the most advanced in its category. The C-390 Millennium has been chosen by Brazil, Hungary, Austria, South Korea, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Portugal, and Sweden, to modernize their air forces.
With a maximum payload of 26 tons, a top speed of 470 knots, and state-of-the-art technology, the C-390 Millennium is the leading aircraft in its class. Its powerful engines, large cargo hold with a rear ramp, and robust landing gear allow it to handle the most demanding missions, including operations from unpaved runways.
The current fleet of C-390 Millennium in operation worldwide has accumulated more than 15,000 flight hours, with a mission capability rate of 93% and mission completion rates exceeding 99%.
