Embraer strengthens Brazilian Air Force surveillance capabilities with fifth E-99

Bosco da Costa Junior, President and CEO of Embraer Defense & Security said,  “The delivery of the fifth E-99 is an important milestone for the E-99M project. This is the first aircraft delivered in FOC (Full Operational Capability) configuration, with systems fully certified for use by the Brazilian Air Force for protecting the country and its national sovereignty. The four aircraft previously delivered will be upgraded so that they can fully perform all the missions for which they were designed.”

A new IFF Transponder, seven software-defined V/UHF radios, a new Mission Audio system with VoIP technology, a new Mission Audio and Data recorder, a new Data Link function tailored to a new architecture, and a new Electronic Warfare (Non-Communication – NCOM) system are also planned for the aircraft.
