The Army Assessment Center (CAEx) – “Campo de Provas da Marambaia / 1948” conducted integration and functionality tests of the Guarani 6X6 Special Engineer Armored Vehicle (VBE Eng) equipped with the engineering implements.

The implements are coupled by means of an intelligent modular system, composed of a common interface with a control module. The activities were conducted by the Vehicle Test Section (SSTVtr) of the Material Assessment Division (DAM) of CAEx, by the Engineering Material Directorate (DME) and by the 15th Mechanized Combat Engineering Company (15th Cia E Cmb Mec), part of the 15th Mechanized Infantry Brigade (15th Bda Inf Mec), the “Guarani Brigade”.

The vehicle’s weight, center of gravity, maximum and minimum speed, duty cycle, trench construction and overcoming capacity, and obstacle removal were also checked.

With the issuing of the respective report, the Army System of Science, Technology and Innovation (SCTIEx) contributes so that the Land Force has better conditions to improve the studies of the doctrine of employment of the material, with a view to the future receipt and distribution of the vehicles that may equip the engineering units of the Mechanized Brigades.
