Info) December 26, 2008: The Commander of the Air Force, Lieutenant-General Juniti Saito, representing the three Armed Forces, will sign, Dec. 23 in the Hotel Copacabana Palace, in Rio De Janeiro, a contract for the production in Brazil and the supply of 50 EC-725 military helicopters.
This project calls for 16 helicopters for the Brazilian Navy, 16 for the Brazilian Army and 18 for the Air Force. It will be signed with the chief executives of Helibras Brazil Helicopter Company and Eurocopter, respectively Jean-Noël Hardy and Mr. Lutz Bertling.
The contract, fruit of the long-standing aeronautical cooperation between Brazil and France, aims at consolidating and extending exchanges in the military field, and at stimulating industrial and commercial activities between the two countries. Significantly, the agreement calls for the manufacture of the aircraft in Brazil, by Helibras and other joint venture companies, thanks to technology transfer and direct offsets.
The contract is the result of the operational requirements of the three services, and calls for the implementation of engineering projects, manufacture, modification and modernization of helicopters, as well as qualification of staff, in Brazil. The signature of this contract with EADS is unprecedented, as it represents the first instance of a joint project by the three armed forces for the procurement of military equipment. Delivery of the first production aircraft is scheduled for the end of 2010.
