Tamandaré Program Positions Brazil As A Reference In South America

Far beyond the renewal of the national fleet, the Tamandaré Class Frigate Program is consolidating Brazil as a regional reference in naval warfare construction.

With coordinated management among the Brazilian Navy, EMGEPRON, and tkEBS, the project promotes technological sovereignty, job creation, and the transfer of strategic knowledge.

The adopted model has attracted international attention for its efficiency and ability to add value to the Brazilian industrial base.

The visit of the Chilean Navy highlights this relevance and signals possible future collaborations that can range from technology exchange to the export of naval solutions developed in the country.

The rapprochement between Brazil and Chile around the Tamandaré Frigates program shows that there is room for a broader integration of South American Armed Forces in areas of innovation, maritime security, and strategic presence in the South Atlantic.
