Brazilian company takes high-tech to the sector’s main global trade fair
Atech, an Embraer Group company, will present its portfolio of defense and security solutions and demonstrate its expertise in the development and integration of complex naval systems at Euronaval 2024. The fair, considered one of the most significant in the segment in the world, will take place from November 4 to 7 in Paris Nord, Villepinte (France).
Atech is one of the few Brazilian companies present at Euronaval. It is recognized and certified as an EED – Strategic Defense Company by the Brazilian Ministry of Defense, with more than 40 years of experience developing technologies for various national and international projects.
These technologies are consolidated in strategic projects for the Brazilian Navy, making Atech an important player for new partnerships both inside and outside Brazil. The high-tech solutions are used in important Brazilian naval programs, such as the PFCT (Tamandaré Class Frigate Program), LABGENE (Nuclear Power Generation Laboratory), and the H225M/H-XBR (Naval Tactical Data Management Systems) helicopters.
In all the programs mentioned, Atech plays a key role in providing innovative solutions for the development and integration of complex naval systems. For the frigates, this includes the CMS (Combat Management System) and the IPMS (Integrated Platform Management System). In the PFCT, Atech participates in the noble mission of protecting the riches of the Blue Amazon, an area of 5.7 million km2 of waters under Brazilian jurisdiction.
The company is part of the SPE (Special Purpose Entity) “Águas Azuis”, which also includes thyssenkrupp Marine Systems and Embraer Defesa & Segurança. This program envisages the manufacture of modern ships with high technological complexity and significant combat power. The first frigate was launched in August this year and is due to be delivered to the Brazilian Navy in 2025.
Atech is present with its solutions in South America, India and North Africa. The Brazilian company has well-established expertise to expand further and support other nations in coastal and border surveillance solutions, and vessel traffic management, among other types of projects, through cooperation initiatives.
Always in search of innovation, Atech has been developing and implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) concepts and tools in various sectors. This includes Simulation Systems (replacing human pilots in the control of simulators, interacting by voice); Air Traffic Flow Management Systems (using machine learning to predict trajectories in 4D); Naval War Gaming Systems; Cybersecurity Systems; and other initiatives. Atech’s vision of AI is focused on meeting the needs of customers, making its solutions more effective and accurate.
“With an insightful and forward-looking vision, we create innovative solutions that ensure the successful execution of Atech’s projects. Our strong presence and operations in the national and international markets reinforce our confidence in the quality and expertise of the services we provide,” says Rodrigo Pérsico, Atech’s CEO.
At Euronaval, Atech will be at stand I42. The organization expects 500 exhibitors from at least 30 countries. The estimated audience is 25,000 people and 150 official delegations have been invited to take part in the event.
