Odebrecht Defense and Technology, its subsidiary Mectron and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems have recently agreed on a partnership to jointly offer the Brazilian Air Force an Air Operations and Air Defense Management solution capable to support the Brazilian Aerospace Defense System evolution.
“We are aware that some time ago the Brazilian Air Force issued an RFI looking for candidate alternatives to upgrade their current Air Defense Control System. We at Odebrecht believe that the Air Force deserves the best critical system to support air operations, and we are glad to extend our partnership with Rafael on Air Operation Management scope. This partnership can provide to the Brazilian Air Force a good product which delivers combat proven, safe and secure capability allied with an upgradable system in-country,” said Rogério Salvador, Odebrecht Defense and Technology Business Development Director.
The partnership takes advantage of existing combat-proven RAFAEL systems, which are capable of fulfilling Brazil's air defense and air operations management needs. Some of these system’s main features are:
“In our system, like in Brazil, we have the same a hybrid Aerospace Control System where military and civilian infrastructures are shared to gain optimal efficiency. Our systems were developed by and for the air defense controllers, being operational not only in our country, but enforcing the sovereignty of several other countries,” said Meir Ben Shaya (Col. Res.), RAFAEL C4I S.M.E & Business Development Manager.
Mectron will guarantee that any proposed solution supports the actual and planned Brazilian Operational Model, while interfacing with the existing and planned Brazilian infrastructure. Mectron and RAFAEL plan to work together to deliver a system with the capability to create an unified Air Situation Picture ,screens, interfaces, and functionalities according to the Brazilian Air Force requirements. The transfer of technology embedded into this work will provide Mectron the needed knowledge to in-country maintain and evolve the system.
“We have a complete technology strategy that will allow Mectron to maintain and evolve the system´s functionalities independently from RAFAEL. We believe it is paramount to give the Brazilian Air Force a fast response to any need of evolving the system. Our actual and successful experience on the Link Br2 shows that the companies indeed trust each other and that we have a truly value added partnership, which can be proven by the results already delivered by the project,” Said Avi Krengel, RAFALATINO Deputy General Manager.

- Provide highly accurate, rapid and reliable Air Situation Picture (ASP) information.
- Capable of interfacing with active and passive sensors.
- Processes both military and civilian flight planes.
- Can be easily integrated with existing customer military and civilian sensors and infrastructure.
- No limit on number of connected sensors.
- Tracks both high performance (modern fighters) and low performance/low speed targets, and hovering helicopters.
- Three levels of redundancy that guarantee 24/7 operation.
- Wide range of safety features adapted to military applications.
