Avibras attended the XIX SIGE (Symposium of Operational Applications in Areas of Defence) from September 26th to 28th at ITA (Aeronautics Institute of Technology). It consists of an annual academic event that aims at creating an appropriate environment for exchanging experiences between the academia, industries and Armed Forces concerning teaching themes, research and development in National Politics of Defence.

This year’s edition focused on areas of interest related to Defence Operational Analysis, Command and Control, Electronic Warfare and Weapons Systems, specifically directed at the presentation of articles, posters, lectures and mini courses.

Avibras received many visitors in its stand, including students, teachers and officers from the Armed Forces. The company exhibited innovative solutions in the Defence area, especially for Aeronautics.

Venâncio Alvarenga Gomes, Business Development Manager, believes that Avibras’ participation was extremely important to narrow the relationship with the academic community, which is strategical for the company. “It is an opportunity to show our business and our plans for the future”, he said.

Among the authorities present at the stand was the Brigadier Engineer Demétrio César Santos, Vice-President of the DCTA Project (Department of Aerospace Science and Technology) of São José dos Campos.

From the talent search point of view, the Coordinator Patrícia Helena Simões, responsible for the selection and training of personnel, affirmed that the event was very positive. “ITA is considered a mine of new talents in engineering. It was a great opportunity to introduce our company and interact with one of the greatest universities in the country”.
