In addition to these aircraft, Embraer has also been responsible for the implementation of the Brazilian Army’s Integrated Border Monitoring System (SISFRON), one of the world’s largest border surveillance projects. The company will also showcase area radars and terrestrial systems, which provide equipment such as the SABER M60, a specific radar for low-altitude surveillance and air defense, and the SABER M200 VIGILANTE, a radar for early warning air surveillance.
