Cutting-edge technology and Brazilian innovation. The Nauru 1000C, the first Brazilian attack drone, put on a show in its test flight with the Enforcer missile. XMobots, our Latin American beast in drone manufacturing, and MBDA, the European missile giant, are together at this stop.
This drone is no joke, no! O Nauru 1000C, already chosen by the Exército brasileiro for intelligence and reconnaissance missions, it is a real heavyweight weighing 150kg. And it doesn't stop there: it has a range of 100km and can fly for ten hours straight. Just imagine the capacity of this Brazilian drone!
And Enforcer, huh? This missile is a beauty of modern technology. With its 7kg, it is capable of detonating light targets and even armored vehicles. Normally, it is used by soldiers, but now, combined with the Nauru 1000C, it will take warfare to another level.
Successful partnership: XMobots and MBDA together in development
This partnership between the XMobots and MBDA It's giving you something to talk about. They even won the award for Best External Cooperation at the MBDA Innovation Awards 2023, in Paris. This shows that Brazil has everything in military innovation.

The first test flight with the Nauru 1000C loading two mockups of the missile Enforcer it was a total success. Engineers were excited about the results, especially because the weight of the missiles did not affect the drone stability. Now, they have their eyes on the next phase, which includes target identification and, finally, test firing.
The impact of Brazilian innovations in the military scenario
O Brazilian drone Nauru 1000C with the missile Enforcer promises to be a game changer in military scenario. But Brazil has been innovating and participating in the military world for some time now.
One of these contributions is the project of KC-390 military transport aircraft, developed by our dear Embraer. This partnership, which includes countries such as Portugal and Argentina, is a coup that resulted in a top-of-the-line aircraft, considered one of the most modern in the world for aerial transport and refueling.
And it doesn't stop there, no! O Brazil also dove head first into the partnership with France to develop Scorpène-class submarines. This project is a real dive into tech, with the construction of a shipyard and a naval base in Brazil. It is the country showing that it knows how to swim in deep waters when it comes to defense.
Now, check this out: the Brazil reached an agreement with the Swedish company Saab to bring the Gripen NG fighters to the Brazilian air force. This partnership is like a heavy-duty exchange, with technology transfer to Brazil, strengthening our defense industry.
Last but not least, the Brazil has also put on a show in UN peacekeeping missions. Who doesn't remember Brazilian action in Haiti with MINUSTAH? It was a work that left everyone's jaw dropped, showing that the Brazil is also a power when it comes to maintaining peace.
