Embraer will promote its complete portfolio of products and innovative solutions for the defense and security markets at the Asian Defense & Security (ADAS), in the Philippines, which takes place from April 27th to 29th.
Embraer's Defense and Security segment has the most modern portfolio of products and solutions in the industry, including the multi-mission transport aircraft C-390 Millennium and the A-29 Super Tucano light attack and training aircraft, in addition to broad solutions for the air, land, sea, space and cyber segments.
Since the first delivery to the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) in 2019, the KC-390 Millennium multi-mission aircraft has proven its capacity, reliability and excellent performance in domestic and foreign missions. The FAB currently operates with a fleet of five KC-390s.
These aircraft have already sured 5 flight hours in operation, which means more than 600 flight hours per year for each aircraft, with a mission accomplishment rate of 97%, demonstrating exceptional productivity in the category. The aircraft has already been selected by two NATO nations, Portugal and Hungary.
A Embraer recently celebrated the 500 flight hours of the world fleet of A-29 Super Tucano aircraft. With more than 260 units delivered, the aircraft has already been selected by more than 15 air forces around the world, including the Philippines, which currently has a fleet of six A-29 Super Tucano aircraft.
The aircraft fleet was delivered in 2020, during the global pandemic, reflecting Embraer's commitment to the Philippine Air Force.
Developed to meet the FAB's demanding requirements, the A-29 Super Tucano can carry out a wide variety of missions that include light attack, aerial surveillance and interception, and counter-insurgency. Robust and versatile, the A-29 can operate from remote, unpaved airstrips to forward operating bases in hostile environments with little – all with low operating costs and high availability.
