Elbit Systems expands collaboration with Embraer to UAVs

April 16-30, 2011

Elbit Systems is expanding its collaboration with Brazilian aerospace company Embraer SA to unmanned aerial vehicles. Elbit Systems’ Brazilian subsidiary AEL Sistemas SA and Embraer subsidiary Embraer Defesa e Segurança SA will set up a joint venture to develop, manufacture, market, and support unmanned aircraft systems and their avionics.

Embraer will own the majority stake in the venture. Embraer has a longstanding and successful relationship with AEL, even before Elbit Systems acquired it. AEL was one of the first suppliers of systems for Embraer’s turboprop Tucano basic trainer and the subsonic fighter AMX in the 1980s and 1990s.

Currently, AEL provides the avionics for the Super Tucano light attack and advanced trainer aircraft and for the F-5M jet fighter that Embraer is modernising for the Brazilian Air Force.
