Embraer has signed a pair of contracts with Brazil’s Department of Airspace Control (DECEA) aimed at modernizing the country’s air traffic control centers and upgrading strategic solutions for the management of national airspace flow.
The two new contracts, worth $17 million, will be implemented by Embraer’s Atech subsidiary, which specializes in systems engineering, decision support, and situational awareness technologies.
Long-standing partners Atech and DECEA jointly cooperated with the Brazilian Airspace Control System Implementation Commission to develop two solutions known as Sigma and Sagitario.
Sigma optimizes the management of air traffic information, flight plans, airways, and airport capacities. It also distributes air traffic more efficiently. Meanwhile, the Sagitario system processes data from various sources, such as radars and satellites, consolidating them into a single visual interface for air traffic controllers.
“These contracts mark an important milestone for Atech and for the development of aerospace technology in Brazil,” commented Atech CEO Rodrigo Persico. “We believe that the modernized solutions will contribute significantly to the optimization of Brazilian air traffic, benefiting passengers, airlines, and the aviation sector as a whole.”
