Avibras has started the qualification phase of the MANSUP (Surface Anti-Ship Missile), developed in partnership with the Brazilian Navy (MB) and other IDB (Industrial Defence Base) companies. At this stage, the Test Flight Models and the prototypes to be  launched from ship will be assembled and tested.

MANSUP is a strategic project of the Brazilian Navy that will equip the future ships of the Brazilian Navy fleet. The launching of the first prototype is scheduled for next October.  

Currently, Avibras is responsible for supplying the rocket-motor, the development of the SAU (Safety and Arming Unit), which is a sophisticated system responsible for arming and securing the motor, the development of the wings, gutters, attachment rings among many parts of the missile and the assemble and test of the prototypes.

The MANSUP project came on the stream of the success  of the development of the AV-RE 40 motor for the Exocet missiles of the Brazilian Navy. Avibras considers this project a priority and works for its success in the qualification phase, which will allow its continuity to the production phase.

Avibras and its technical partners keep going strong together with the Brazilian Navy, honoring their commitment with this important project for Brazil.
