Embraer and GMV Sign MOU for A-29 Super Tucano
Aircraft
(23/09/22)
Embraer and GMV of Portugal have signed a
Memorandum of Understanding to cooperate in the field of systems
development and integration for defense products and services,
mainly regarding the A-29 Super Tucano aircraft program.
The MOU also includes a potential joint research,
technology development and innovation process, intending to
extend and increase long-term business relations between the
companies during the concept, design, development, production and
support phases.
New businesses, development and integration of
navigation systems, Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) development
and software development are also under discussion between the two
companies, which intend to exchange and disclose certain
information regarding their experiences, capabilities, products,
systems and services.
In the specific area of R&D focused on IMA,
the relationship has been ongoing for more than 15 years,
including projects under the scope of the European Unions
research framework.
Embraer has a long-term strategic commitment with
Portugal in the development of its aerospace and defense
ecosystem. The most recent example has been an investment of
74 million euros in OGMA S.A., allowing the company to become
certified for the maintenance of Pratt & Whitney's GTF engines
used by the new generation of commercial aircraft. That agreement
will create 300 jobs and could triple the annual turnover of OGMA
to 600 million euros.
In line with this strategy, several initiatives
were put in place earlier in the year, including the signing of a
MOU with idD Portugal Defence and ETI for cooperation in
technology development in the respective areas of expertise.
