The agreement provides for the possibility of partnership in projects for defense technologies, which may lead to products with patents to be shared between the two countries and exploited by the developing companies.
Funding will be public and must be shared between Brazil and the United States, but the development of research will be carried out by private companies. Brazilian and American companies will be able to partner to develop technologies and apply for funding from the fund.
“I want to emphasize that the agreement we signed today adds to what happened in 2019, when after 20 years we had the approval of the technological safeguards agreement (for the use of the Alcântara base). Soon after, we were recognized as extra-NATO allies. This is yet another unprecedented agreement,” said the Minister of Defense, Fernando Azevedo e Silva.
The pact took place at the headquarters of the U.S. Southern Command, located in Doral, near the city of Miami (Florida, United States).
This is the first time a Brazilian president visits this command, which is responsible for military and security operations for Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. Check below the moment of Bolsonaro’s arrival at the location:
