Atech, Embraer’s technology subsidiary, plans to double in size by 2030 by expanding abroad. The company develops mission-critical systems for defense, government, public security and air traffic management. CEO Rodrigo Persico says demand is growing for technology that handles sensitive information, including data from drones and security cameras. For civil aviation, Atech is developing digital infrastructure to help drones share airspace safely through unmanned traffic management. The system is part of its air traffic management portfolio and has recently been delivered in South Africa. Atech has also exported air traffic technologies to India, Paraguay and other Latin American markets.
As drones, commercial aircraft and electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles increase in number, Atech aims to integrate aviation data into reliable, traceable information. Its tools can help identify a drone’s pilot and analyze the pilot’s profile and operating patterns. The company sees opportunities in Asia and Latin America for air traffic modernization, and in Africa for defense and security systems as well as aviation technology. Persico says the company will build its international business through long-term partnerships and contracts rather than targeting a fixed share of foreign revenue. Atech is also the only Brazilian company participating in NATO cyberattack exercises, which it cites as evidence of its ability to develop and customize complex systems for international customers.
