Embraer has signed two contracts with Brazil’s Department of Airspace Control (DECEA) aimed at modernizing the country’s air traffic control centers and upgrading strategic solutions for managing national airspace flow. The agreements, valued at $17 million, will be executed by Embraer’s Atech subsidiary, which specializes in systems engineering, decision support, and situational awareness technologies.
Atech and DECEA have collaborated 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 while distributing air traffic more efficiently. 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.”
