With a robust and advanced portfolio, Akaer participates in LAAD Defence & Security 2025, reaffirming its prominent position in the Defence and Aerospace sector.
At the event, which takes place between April 1st and 4th at Riocentro, in Rio de Janeiro, the company will present cutting-edge solutions that strengthen Brazil's strategic autonomy and consolidate its presence in the global market.
LAAD 2025 will be the epicenter of discussions on security, bringing together military authorities, international delegations and key industry players.
“Our participation in LAAD reaffirms Akaer’s commitment to innovation and technological advancement in Brazil on the global stage. We are ready to present solutions that help transform the Defense sector and boost the competitiveness of Brazilian industry,” said Cesar Silva, CEO of Akaer.
Strategic portfolio
Among the main projects presented is the Cascavel NG (New Generation), a modernized version of the armored vehicle. Developed in partnership with the Brazilian Army, the new Cascavel incorporates advances in optronics, ballistic improvements and advanced fire control systems.
In the monitoring and detection area, Akaer will highlight the IRSA, the infrared tracking system for the A-Darter missile, which provides greater precision in capturing thermal targets, and the ST30CAM camera, designed for SatVHR, offers high-resolution monitoring in multiple spectral bands between 400 and 800 km in altitude, with applications in cartography, security and response to natural disasters.
Another strategic project is the modernization of the wings of the P-3AM Orion, a maritime patrol aircraft of the Brazilian Air Force (FAB). The project involved the replacement of critical structural components, ensuring greater longevity of the aircraft and ensuring the continuity of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions.
Expertise
Akaer also highlights its contribution to the development of the HÜRJET advanced training fighter, from Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI), with details of the structural design, in addition to the installation of the fuselage systems, reinforcing its expertise in programs of high technological complexity.
“Our commitment to excellence is what sets us apart in the market. Each project is an opportunity to raise the standard of Brazilian aerospace engineering,” said Cesar Silva.
In the compact and high operational impact product segment, the company will present OLHAR, a high-precision monocular developed for the needs of the Brazilian Army, ideal for tactical operations and surveillance in adverse scenarios.
Modules
Akaer has expanded its operations and gained international recognition. In 2024, it became the first Brazilian company in the aerospace sector to qualify as a Tier 1 Global Supplier, after g a contract with Deutsche Aircraft for the production of the front fuselage of the D1eco, a sustainable 328-seat turboprop designed for regional transport, rescue missions, military operations and firefighting.
Furthermore, in December 2024, Akaer was selected to manufacture the structure of the LUS-222 in Brazil, the first aircraft designed in Portugal. The contract with EEA Aircraft and Maintenance includes the production of the fuselage, complete wing, horizontal stabilizers and all control surfaces of the aircraft. This project, with production starting in 2025, represents an unprecedented milestone for the Brazilian industry, being the first time that a national company will be responsible for the complete structure of a regional transport and cargo aircraft.
