SIATT Opens New Factory in São José dos Campos With Support From EDGE Group. Modern Unit Will Generate Jobs and Strengthen the Defense Industry in Brazil.

SIATT, a Brazilian reference in intelligent defense and security systems, took a strategic step with the opening of its new headquarters and factory in São José dos Campos (SP), as reported by Poder Naval on Monday, September 8.

The complex, which occupies 6,000 m², was designed to boost the company’s production capacity and consolidate the municipality as one of the main technological innovation hubs in the defense sector.

With this, SIATT significantly expands its industrial capacity and reinforces its role in providing advanced solutions for the Brazilian Armed Forces and for international projects as well.

The opening ceremony featured prominent figures. Present were the CEO and General Director of EDGE Group, Hamad Al Marar, along with leaders from the holding company. Also participating were the Vice Governor of São Paulo, Felício Ramuth, the Commander of the Navy, Admiral Marcos Sampaio Olsen, the Commander of the Marine Corps, Carlos Chagas, and the Mayor of São José dos Campos, Anderson Farias.

During the event, Al Marar emphasized, “This was our first investment in Brazil, in 2023, and since then we have advanced from a research and development plant to a robust industrial facility. This reflects SIATT’s commitment to strengthening Brazil’s technological autonomy and generating long-term value for its defense base.”

With the new unit, the expectation is to create 200 direct jobs and approximately 600 indirect jobs. This activity is expected to boost the local economy and strengthen São José dos Campos’ position as a strategic center for the defense industry in the country.

History of SIATT and Strategic Programs

Founded in 2015, SIATT specializes in the development and integration of high-complexity defense systems including missiles, armaments, and embedded solutions. Among its most notable projects are the anti-ship missile Mansup, its long-range version Mansup-ER, and the precision anti-tank system Max 1.2 AC.

EDGE Group, a conglomerate from the United Arab Emirates, acquired 50% of SIATT in September 2023. The partnership accelerated the company’s export capacity and strengthened its role as a strategic partner not only for the Brazilian Armed Forces but also for projects on a global scale.

History of SIATT and Strategic Programs

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

China has just successfully tested the world’s first ground effect maritime vehicle, a craft that flies up to 6 meters above the water at 200 km/h, uses quantum technology and 6G communication, and can rescue patients in the middle of the ocean.

6 scientists warn of a silent loss of water in Brazil: more than half of the evaluated rivers may be draining into underground aquifers, while 17,972 wells reveal increasing pressure on supply, ecosystems, and water security.

Paraná takes a historic step to include Korean language instruction in public schools with direct support from the government of South Korea, which will offer free training for teachers, teaching materials, and complete pedagogical support for the state school system.

The sky of the Atacama allows for the naked-eye view of the Milky Way and houses the most powerful telescopes on the planet, but it may not last: light pollution is advancing uncontrollably, Chilean legislation is weak, and scientists fear losing this treasure of global science forever.

Google Wallet silently rolls out passport registration as digital ID in Brazil and allows confirming age and identity directly via mobile phone with encryption, facial video, and reading of the document’s security chip.

The world’s most powerful telescope installed in Chile could finally find the mysterious ninth planet of the Solar System in the next two years, a world ten times larger than Earth hidden in darkness for billions of years without ever having been seen.
