German Company Expands Partnership With AEL Sistemas
Diehl is looking to expand its partnership with Brazil’s AEL Sistemas as it targets the Brazilian ground-based air defense market. The two companies already collaborate on the supply of IRIS-T air-to-air missiles for Brazil’s Saab JAS 39 Gripen fighters. This move may signal Diehl’s intention to strengthen its presence in the Latin American defense market. According to Aviation Week, Diehl’s expansion into Brazil could enhance the country’s air defense capabilities and potentially lead to further collaborations in the region.
