For the first time, members of the Internacional Air and Space Fair, FIDAE, visited the city if Zadar to take part in the ADRIATIC SEA DEFENSE & AEROSPACE show held from May 3rd to 5th. During the occasion, they had the opportunity to meet with the organizer of the fair, the Romanian company TNT-EXPO, besides contacting several European companies, highlighting the meetings with the Croatian and Romanian clusters that expressed great interest in participate in FIDAE 2024.

FIDAE 2024, generating business opportunities for more than 40 years.

Over the course of the exhibition, both companies will present the peripheral subsystems underlying PILLAN II, including the SIM (Flight Simulator). The SIM subsystem consists of a cockpit, a station for the instructor, and a mixed-reality visual system. Not only it allows for procedure instruction, but also planned mission practices, for military pilots to be trained under Visual Flight Rules.

This aircraft has been conceived as an evolved version of the T-35 PILLAN, that prioritizes the safety of occupants. It is a two-seater single-engine aircraft in tandem mode. The cabin resembles a combat aircraft equipped with the latest in avionics, enabling IFR flight, new wing design, retractable tricycle gear, and an air conditioning system. Optional night and day surveillance systems can be added with real-time data transmission.

The PILLAN II project will enable the implementation of state-of-the-art aeronautical technology and engineering in the national industry and, in turn, reinvigorate the manufacturing capacities currently available in ENAER and in other companies in the country to resume aircraft manufacturing in Chile after 8 years. And this is precisely why ENAER will be present at the new Air and Space Fair FIDAE 2022 to showcase their upcoming instruction aircraft.

The commemoration was held this Wednesday, April 6^th, at the FACh stand, located in Hall E, where Jean Pierre Wildschut, Managing Director at ILIAS, expressed his thankfulness for their partnership with the Chilean FACh during his speech, in addition to highlighting their pride and honor to their extended relationship.

It was emphasized that their partnership started 16 years ago marked the beginning of a new era for weapons and communications systems, which is commemorated today during FIDAE 2022.

Influential national and international authorities attended the ceremony, headed by the Chilean Air Force Commander-in-chief, General Arturo Merino Núñez; the Director of the Defense and Security Cooperation Agency, James Hursch; the 12^th Air Force (Air Forces Southern) Commander, Major General Barry R. Cornish; and the Acting Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Santiago, Chile, Andrew Mcclearn. They were able to see the stunning latest technological breakthroughs and innovations offered by the United States, supported by more than 60 companies.

In addition to these attendees, officers from United States Air Force, the Texas National Guard and the Chilean Air Force personnel were present. This fact demonstrates that the relationship and the exchanges between these Armed Forces are outstanding.

Participation in the USA Pavilion creates unique opportunities for those clients who seek to strengthen both relationships and business exchanges in Latin America. In fact, they use FIDAE as a gate and a platform to do business in the area. And to this end, the USA Partnership Pavilion will have Florida, Mississippi, Maryland and California as prominent participants. These states will be in charge of displaying the latest on Civil and Commercial Aviation, Homeland Security, Defense, Airport services, Aircraft maintenance and Aerospace technology.

The A29 Super Tucano -with eight units of the Esquadrilha da Fumaça-, turboprop combat aircraft and advanced trainer, and the KC390 Millenium tactical transport aircraft, with a platform size suitable for important deployment scenarios, landed on the Pudahuel Air Base apron, both manufactured by the Brazilian giant EMBRAER and will be part of the static show of the Fair.

FIDAE 2022, the longest standing and most recognized aerospace, defense, and security fair in Latin America, will take place from April 5^th to 10^th, welcoming more than 400 exhibitors and more than 200 delegations from 45 countries.

The event was attended by the Logistics Commander and President of FIDAE, Lieutenant General Jean Pierre Desgroux Ycaza, and the Executive Director of FIDAE, Colonel Francisco Ramirez, along with the Press Manager of FIDAE, Lieutenant Colonel Reinaldo Neuling, who shared the main announcements regarding the 22^nd FIDAE.

Speakers highlighted that all visitors may attend interesting conferences on different topics, underlining the Second Space Summit, the focus of which is to become a hub for knowledge and discussion around satellite and space information. And a special conference center was created to this end.

Particular attention was brought to Pavilion Chile, which will host local companies, entrepreneurs and SMEs operating in this specific industry, emphasizing aerospace developments.

“We are an effective business platform, where all exhibitors can display their product portfolio since FIDAE offers them the possibility of generating a new line of business, as well as of finding different solutions. Thanks to the important role of the press, we are able to disseminate this information to the region and beyond,” said Executive Director, General Francisco Ramirez during the press conference.

Thus, one day before the beginning of the first activities of the International Air and Space Fair FIDAE, different announcements on that will take place in FIDAE 2022 were shared with the press.

Acquiring the SABER M60 radars is part of the Strategic Planning of the Brazilian Army 2020-2023 and expands the Land Forces’ operational capacity. It shows the commitment to the constitutional mission of homeland defense and contributes to the expansion of partnerships between the public sector, academia and industry in order to seek mastery of critical technologies in the defense area.

As a result of the partnership between Embraer and the Brazilian Army in developing a low-altitude anti-aircraft artillery radar, the SABER M60 Radar is 100% developed in Brazil, having entered operation in 2010 when the first units were delivered to the Army. In 2019, the technological update phase was completed, resulting in version 2.0 which has already been exported.

The SABER M60 is a search radar that integrates a low-altitude anti-aircraft defense system to protect strategic points and areas, such as factories, power plants, and government facilities. With 3D technology, it has a range of 32 nautical miles and an altitude of up to 16,400 feet, with the ability to track up to 60 targets simultaneously, including automatic target detection and classification. Easy to assemble and transport, it can be assembled in 15 minutes and includes Low Probability Interception (LPI) technology, which allows it to identify targets without being easily identified.

The SABER M60 can be integrated into missile-based weapons systems or anti-aircraft cannons and can be customized to be integrated into any other air defense system, such as the Brazilian Aerospace Defense System.
