Israel Aircraft Industries’ Brazilian affiliate, A.S. Avionics Services, has recently undertaken the first flight of its Caçador (“hunter”) MALE UAV from its facility at Botucatu, near São Paulo. The vehicle is an adaptation of IAI’s Heron 1 to meet the particular requirements of Brazilian agencies, and has been developed following the signing of a cooperation agreement between IAI (Chalet A29) and Avionics Services in 2013 to further develop UAVs for the domestic market. The Brazilian company has been providing the maintenance for Heron 1s flown by Brazil’s Federal Police since 2010.
