IAI subsidiary European Advanced Technology (EAT) has acquired a minority holding in Brazilian company Avionics Services. The acquisition is another step in IAI’s strategic move into the Brazilian marketplace, which it sees as offering considerable opportunities in the years to come, particularly in the defense and public security sectors.

EAT and Avionics Services also signed an agreement to market and manufacture aircraft systems, UAVs, sensors and platform upgrades.

Having established a marketing office in Brasilia, IAI (Chalet A29) has also invested in Brazilian radar company IACIT.
