Embraer, Elbit to make unmanned aircraft

September 16-30, 2011

Brazilian aircraft maker Embraer has set up a joint company with the Brazilian arm of Israeli weapons maker Elbit Systems to make unmanned aircraft. Embraer will control 51 per cent of Harpia Sistemas, while Elbit subsidiary AEL Sistemas will hold 49 per cent.

Harpia “will be an important instrument to respond to the necessities of the armed forces and security,” said Luiz Carlos Aguiar, President of Embraer Defence and Security.

Embraer last December had announced the creation of a defence department where it plans to develop security and communications systems.
