Brazilian Air Force Completes Debut Flight For Upgraded C-95

Advanced Avionics, Communications Systems For Small Airlifter

The Brazilian Air Force successfully completed a debut flight of its C-95 freighter-wayfarer aircraft, upgraded by Elbit Systems' Brazilian subsidiary Aeroeletrônica (AEL). The upgraded aircraft will be awarded a CTA type certification from the Brazilian aviation certification authority, Centro Técnico Aeroespacial (CTA).

Upgrading both C-95 and P-95 aircraft platforms, the program includes integration of advanced avionics such as digital maps, displays, advanced communication and navigation systems and additional advanced systems, aimed at improving the aircraft's performance and the pilot's survivability. These new, cutting edge avionics systems are destined to meet the high standards of newly manufactured aircraft, specifically in flight safety and mission performance in harsh weather conditions.

In this upgrade program, as in other AEL upgrade programs, the company accumulated additional technological know-how and advanced manufacturing capabilities. Thanks to the support and vast experience of its parent company, Elbit Systems, AEL is able to further establish its expertise and capabilities in development and manufacture for both current and future upgrade programs.

Vitor Jaime Neves, AEL Operational Vice President noted: "We are proud of this program, which builds on Elbit Systems' vast experience in upgrading of various aerial platforms. This flight marks an important milestone in the program, further strengthening our longstanding cooperation with our Brazilian customers. We believe that additional international customers undergoing similar upgrade programs will follow the Brazilian Air Force, and will choose to upgrade their fleets with our advanced systems."
