In relation to the report published this Wednesday, 12/13/23, on the Caiafa Master YouTube Channel, entitled “VLM Rocket is now Akaer’s! Avibras Aerospace and Defence is out and the companies Akaer and Cenic are in”, Avibras clarifies that the information is not valid. The Microsatellite Launch Vehicle (VLM) project is developed by the Institute of Aeronautics and Space (IAE), an organization of the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology (DCTA) in partnership with Avibras and does not involve other companies and Finep.

Avibras remains IAE's partner in this important project, which aims to launch microsatellites into low equatorial and atmospheric re-entry orbits with three stages.

The company is the only manufacturer of the S50 engine, designed with national and innovative technology, incorporating carbon fibre in the motor case, a unique combination of lightness and efficiency, highlighting a technological leap for the Brazilian Space Program (PEB). This engine represents a decisive step towards the completion of the VLM.

Recently, Avibras successfully loaded the S50 engine, which involved the work, dedication and competence of a multidisciplinary team from the company.

It is important to highlight that the successful development of the S50 engine not only validates a project that is completely national, but also boosts the development of suborbital rockets and microsatellite launchers. The VLM represents a technological achievement, positions Brazil as an active participant in the global nano and microsatellite launch market and contributes to growth and innovation in the space sector, and Avibras, as an aerospace company and pioneer in the Brazilian Space Program, is part of this achievement.

Avibras Unidade de Catalogacao

On November 21, Avibras installation in Jacareí was visited by the Support Centre for Defence Logistic Systems (CASLODE), an entity of the Ministry of Defence, with the goal of re-evaluating the company as a Cataloguing Unit (UniCat). The delegation of military personnel composed of Commander of Sea and War (CMG) Alessandrer de Paiva Nunes, Corvette Captain (CC) Wellington Galdino Alves de Oliveira and the 2nd Sergeant Jessiane Araújo, observed on site Avibras’ excellence in providing cataloguing services, which will result in its recertification as a cutting-edge UniCat before the Brazilian Defence Industrial Base (BID).

The military highlighted that the company's cataloguing processes are organized and structured, making Avibras a reference in this segment in Brazil and around the world.

Avibras is the first private industry in Brazil to have the right to act as a UniCat together with the Ministry of Defence, reinforcing its pioneering spirit and expertise in this area. UniCats are entities authorized to provide cataloguing services for supply items used by the Armed Forces or of interest to them.

Since 2016 Avibras has been carrying out and commercializing cataloguing services, which consist of collecting technical data to establish the identification of items and their ordering in the form of a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) catalogue, bringing international visibility to the products and prominence in the export scenario, in addition to economic and operational benefits in the logistics area. 

Skyfire1 Skyfire2

In October, Avibras signed a contract with the Brazilian Army (EB) to supply a batch of 70mm Skyfire rockets, reaffirming the solid partnership with the institution.

The SKYFIRE is part of the broad portfolio of high-value-added products developed by Avibras, allowing two distinct applications, one as axial armament for aircraft (air-surface) and the other as an area saturation system (surface-surface).

Considered of high-performance, they can be used in a wide range of aircraft, from helicopters to high-performance jets. They consist of 70 mm calibre rockets for various applications and their airborne multiple launchers.

The rockets use composite solid propellant, they are provided with stabilizing fins and have a variety of warheads. Each rocket consists of a rocket motor and a warhead with fuze. The available rocket motor is the SKYFIRE: AV-SF 70 M9. The warheads available have specific effects such as anti-tank, anti-personnel and anti-materiel, flechette, anti-runway, and for exercise an inert warhead and a signalling warhead are available, each with an appropriate fuze. For Surface-to-Surface use, the SKYFIRE system is used as a saturation artillery rocket, with a range of up to 12 km, and can be fired from a towable launcher that can also be transported by helicopter. The launcher can also be mounted on a 4x4 vehicle. A derivative of the SKYFIRE rocket is also used as training ammunition (subcalibre) of the ASTROS System (Missile and Rocket Artillery System).

The rocket motor, warheads and multiple launchers of the SKYFIRE-70 System are already certified by the Aerospace Product Certification Division of the IFI (Institute for Industrial Development and Coordination) / DCTA (Department of Aerospace Science and Technology of the Brazilian Air Force) and operate in several aircraft around the world, including Embraer's Super Tucano. In addition to being used by the Brazilian Army Aviation, SKYFIRE-70 rockets and launchers are also exported to several countries in Africa and Asia, being proven in combat.

Today, our #TBT is dedicated to the Operational Evaluation of loading and transporting the ASTROS System vehicle on the KC-390 aircraft, which took place earlier this month at the Air Base in Anápolis (GO), Brazil. This significant mission is part of the Third Phase of Operation Zeus, carried out by the Brazilian Air Force (FAB). The successful flight test demonstrated the remarkable aerotransportability capacity of the ASTROS vehicle by the KC-390, currently serving as the largest and heaviest vehicle transported by this aircraft. What a success!

From July 3 to 6, the Operational Evaluation on loading and transportation  an  ASTROS System vehicle in the KC-390 aircraft took place. The event, held at Anápolis Air Forçe Base, near Brasilia, is part of the Third Phase of Operation Zeus, which aims to evaluate the air transport of Brazilian Army Vehicles  and other materials on the new transport aircraft of the Brazilian Air Force (FAB).

During this period, tests were performed with the loading and restraint  of the Universal Multiple Launcher vehicle AV-LMU, model Mk6, from the Brazilian Army, in the cargo compartment of the KC-390.

The flight test carried out on Thursday, July 6th, successfully demonstrated the important air transport capability of the ASTROS vehicle by the KC-390, currently the largest and heaviest vehicle transported by the aircraft. This will allow the quick strategic displacement of the ASTROS System vehicles to any point in the country, including for deployment on joint missions abroad.

The ASTROS vehicle has a height-adjustable suspension and tire inflation system that facilitate its roll-on/roll-off transportation, making its loading and unloading very quick. The vehicle has several tie-down provisions that allow its safe restraint to the aircraft floor.

The operation successfully portrayed Avibras' intense cooperation with the Brazilian Air Force, the Brazilian Army and Embraer, which began in 2010 with the first test carried out with ASTROS vehicles 6x6 Mk5 and 4x4 Mk4 "loading" them on a mock-up of the KC-390 aircraft floor, carried out at the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology (DCTA), under the coordination of the Brazilian Air Force and with the participation of Embraer and Avibras. On the occasion, several opportunities for improvement were verified and the joint work resulted in an aircraft with high load capacity, which would make the new aircraft capable of transporting ASTROS System vehicles as well as other wheeled armoured vehicles  with similar weight to the ASTROS System Launcher.

The Operational Evaluation that took place in Anápolis required the mobilization of several Brazilian Air Force organizations under the coordination of the KC-X/KC-390 Program Technical Management, besides  the Brazilian Army Artillery Command, Embraer and Avibras.
