Brazil Begins Acquisition Process for Kamikaze Drones to Modernize Its Armed Forces, Improving National Security and Offering Operational Flexibility with Technology That Enables Precise Surveillance and Attack.
Brazil is making significant strides to strengthen its position in military technology, with the recent announcement of a public consultation for the acquisition of kamikaze drones. These devices, designed for precise and lethal attack missions, represent a significant advancement in the country’s defensive capability.
Kamikaze drones, or remotely piloted munitions (RPM), are the latest frontier in military innovation. Unlike conventional missiles that follow a straight trajectory, RPMs can “loiter” in the air, providing operators with the flexibility to choose the best moment and location for the attack. This capability makes them ideal for missions that require surveillance and reconnaissance before engaging a target.
Brazil’s Investment in Kamikaze Drones Is Not Just a Modernization Measure, but a National Security Necessity
Brazil’s investment in kamikaze drones is not just a modernization measure, but a national security necessity. The ability to carry out precise attacks and abort missions up to the last moment provides an additional layer of operational security. And of course, these drones can function as traditional reconnaissance units, expanding their roles beyond combat.

The Brazilian Army Commission in Washington Issued an International Quotation Request
The Brazilian Army Commission in Washington issued an international quotation request for the acquisition of these systems. The document requests two distinct models of RPMs for evaluation and doctrinal experimentation. These models must be chosen from those already in use and production and must include training and logistical support.
Currently, Argentina Is the Only Country in South America Using Similar Technology
Currently, Argentina is the only country in South America using similar technology with its Hero 30 and Hero 1220 from UVision. By equipping itself with kamikaze drones, Brazil not only keeps pace with global trends but also ensures a tactical advantage in the region, reinforcing the defense of its borders and the safety of its population.
Brazil’s pursuit of kamikaze drones is a strategic step that underscores the importance of innovation and technological superiority in an increasingly security-focused world. With these new acquisitions, Brazil hopes to not only strengthen its national security but also position itself as a leader in military technology in South America.


Será um absurdo se as Forças Armadas adquirirem drones com empresas estrangeiras. Não podemos prescindir de equipar as Forças Armadas com equipamentos desenvolvidos por empresas brasileiras. É VITAL QUE O BRASIL DESENVOLVA SUA DEFESA COM MATERIAIS PRODUZIDOS NO PAÍS, POR EMPRESAS BRASILEIRAS.
