Embraer has signed a R$102 million contract with the Brazilian Army for the delivery of a SABER M200 Vigilante radar already in series configuration. The deal was signed on Wednesday at Mostra BID, the National Defense and Security Fair.
The contract also includes continuing the technical and operational evaluation of the equipment and its future use in the Brazilian Army's anti-aircraft artillery units.
The SABER M200 Vigilante uses advanced signal processing technology to detect and track positions, aircraft trajectories, and classify aerial targets, which guarantees ground forces more autonomy for its anti-aircraft defense systems. In addition, it has an integrated power generator, which makes it easy to transport, whether by land or air.
The Brazilian Army will be the first operator of the radar, bolstering its low and medium-altitude anti-aircraft defense capabilities. Its use by the EB should serve as a benchmark for exploring opportunities for use by the other Brazilian Armed Forces and the export market.
Also at the event, Embraer signed a R$ 147 million contract with the Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos (Finep) to complete new technologies to be used in the SABER M200 Multimission radar.
The new generation transportable tactical radar is optimized for medium-altitude air defense, surveillance and military aircraft. The SABER M200 Multimission radar is equipped with an Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) system to provide end users with an accurate aircraft identification capability.
