Brazilian Army modernization and defense testing
Overview
The Brazilian Army is advancing its military capabilities through specialized jungle warfare training and the development of domestic defense technologies.
In the Amazon region, the military conducted large-scale simulations in Roraima involving over 1,100 personnel. These exercises utilized modern equipment, such as smart sensors integrated into helmets and vests, to adapt traditional jungle reconnaissance to modern battlefield realities involving aerial surveillance and electronic warfare.
Simultaneously, the Army has made progress in technological certification and testing. This includes successful firing tests of the Tactical Cruise Missile (MTC) for the ASTROS Artillery System, which can strike targets up to 300 kilometers away. Further advancements include the testing of the SENTIR M20 Ground Surveillance Radar by Embraer, capable of detecting small drones at distances of 4 kilometers, and the integration of anti-drone defenses and satellite communications during Operation Sagitta Primus.
