Embraer and the Brazilian Army have inked a contract to develop and implement Phase Two of the Army's Strategic Program for the Integrated Border Monitoring System (SISFRON). Among the world’s largest border surveillance projects, SISFRON aims to protect Brazil's borders, covering an extension of 16,886 kilometers across ten bordering countries.
The announcement was made at the FIDAE (Feria Internacional del Aire y del Espacio) 2022 event, underway at the Arturo Merino BenĂtez International Airport in Santiago, Chile, from April 5th to 10th.
“We are very pleased to sign the SISFRON Phase Two contract with Embraer, in continuation of the successful partnership and significant results already proven with the implementation of the Pilot Phase and complementing the operational capabilities of the Western Military Command,” said Army Science and Technology Department Chief, General Guido Amin Naves. “The SISFRON is technologically complex and of a strategic nature, which is why it is one of the Land Force’s structuring projects in partnership with Embraer, in the role of integrator, endowing the Brazilian Army with capabilities to execute its mission. Additionally, the program will enhance action taken by other government entities in the border area.”
The SISFRON implements a sensing and command and control structure in support of Land Forces’ operation, acting in an integrated way to strengthen the State’s presence and capacity to monitor and act on its borders, while enhancing the performance of other government entities with responsibilities over this area.
“The signing of the SISFRON Phase Two contract is an important recognition of Embraer's investment and effort in the implementation of the Pilot Phase, making use of the company's main competencies applied to land systems. We are sure that the continuity of the implementation with the next phase will enable us to retain and further develop knowledge and technologies that are critical to Brazil’s border surveillance area,” said Jackson Schneider, President and CEO of Embraer Defense & Security.
The implementation of the program has contributed to the increase of technological capacity, as well autonomy and sustainability of the industrial defense base, by means of the acquisition of high added value solutions and with the diversification of national exports. These actions contribute to the generation of jobs and income in the technology and infrastructure sectors.
