Brazilian Gripen E's Stunning Photo Shoot in Rio de Janeiro
The first Brazilian Gripen E that was delivered earlier this year, completed a stunning photo shoot in Rio de Janeiro recently.
Accompanied by a C-130 Hercules aircraft, the photographs were taken over the city's familiar land and waterscapes on 12th December.
The ongoing Gripen E test campaign will continue to be carried out at Embraer's plant in Gavião Peixoto. The production and tests of the Brazilian Gripen aircraft are on schedule and more Gripen fighters are expected to be delivered by 2021.

In modern conflict, situations develop rapidly, and your forces receiving accurate, timely intelligence is the key to mission success. Airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) systems are airborne radar solutions used to detect and identify air, land and sea vehicles, missiles and other objects. AEW&C systems are also employed as battle management command and control centres, receiving and transmitting real-time information to achieve total situational awareness.

Protecting and securing a maritime territory has always been fraught with difficulty. Today, more than ever, advanced technological development imposes the necessity for naval forces to operate in an environment that is increasingly complex, challenging and unpredictable. In such a setting, you need a heightened level of awareness, and the ability to detect, identify and counter a wide range of threats – fast and slow, conventional and unconventional. Sea Giraffe 1X radar is designed to provide the capabilities required to manage any threats in any waters and make the Navies of the world better prepared for the increasingly complex and demanding naval environment.

To see beyond the Earths curvature, you need to be high up in the air to get a wide coverage. Being that high up puts demands on your equipment. You need a long-range radar and a wide array of sensors to paint a comprehensive and correct picture of the areas of concern. And not less important, you want to be able stay high up in the air for long periods of time to get a persistent situational awareness.
