Rear Admiral (EN) Alexandre de Vasconcelos Siciliano stated that the Brazilian Navy is proud to partner with Embraer once again. This agreement strengthens the continuation of a long-term collaboration with a global technology leader that will expand the range of capabilities for the Brazilian Navy to fulfill its missions.

Its experience with the Radar X will be complemented by Embraer’s cutting-edge technologies and advanced capabilities, allowing for knowledge sharing and cooperative development of high-end solutions for the global market.

Fábio Caparica, Vice President of Business Development for Latin America at Embraer Defense & Security, stated that the company is very pleased to sign this new agreement with the Navy, an institution with which it has a solid and long-term relationship.

The agreement between the Brazilian Navy and Embraer will not only bring many advances for both parties but also for the country’s Defense Industrial Base. The studies by the Brazilian Navy and Embraer encompass the integration of the Gaivota X Radar with the Georeferenced Command and Control System and the Unified Situational Awareness System through Maritime Information Acquisition (SCUA).

Get to Know the Gaivota X Radar Better

The agreement between the Brazilian Navy and Embraer brings an important contribution to expand both the high technological content of the Navy’s Strategic Programs and the development of the Defense Industrial Base, one of the main objectives of the National Defense Strategy.

The Gaivota X Radar is a 100% Brazilian manufacturing project, operating in the X band, that is, between 8 and 12 GHz, and was developed by the Navy’s Technological Center in São Paulo (CTMSP) and the Funding Agency for Studies and Projects (FINEP).

The Gaivota X of the Brazilian Navy operates in two channels: one for surface tracking, where it sees up to the horizon line, and one for aerial search, where its detection range varies from 40 km (Exocet missile) to 200 km (large aircraft). In addition to its search capability, the Brazilian Navy requires that the radar have surface-to-air missile guidance capability. As it is entirely domestic, the radar features a hardware defined by its software, ensuring total autonomy for the end operator and access to the radar software’s parameters and configurations.
