P600 AEW&C

PROTECTING The P600 AEW&C combines Embraer and IAI/ELTA

Systems’ best technologies to deliver a unique and
comprehensive set of systems and capabilities

WHAT MATTERS specifically designed to protect sovereign integrity.

It brings a dorsal mounted lightweight radar using the

MOST latest-generation digital GaN AESA technology integrated

with an advanced AEW&C Mission System for multiple
defense and security missions, providing accurate and
reliable surveillance at a fraction of cost compared to
other modern AEW&C systems.

The system’s robust design provides higher operational

flexibility and availability, while technological automation
reduces crew size and provides excellent performance
overall. Whether in peace or conflict, the P600 AEW&C
is always ready, responsive and able to identify threats
and protect national security.

In terms of regional balance, Asia-Pacific oper-

ators have the largest combined fleet, at 14,559
aircraft: an in-year increase of 30. That betters North
America’s 13,676 – of which the USA has a 97% share
– by 883 platforms.
While probably every US military speech or
report of the last year has highlighted the in-
creased “near-peer” threat posed by China and
Russia, Washington DC’s air power assets outnum-
ber its potential adversaries in every one of our six
equipment listing categories.

Numerical advantage
The USA owns 25% of all operational military
aircraft, with its numerical advantage ranging from
having 19% of all combat aircraft to 28% of combat
helicopters and 77% of tankers. Its 13,300 aircraft

 UNBEATABLE RAPID RECONFIGURATION
AND MISSION FLEXIBILITY.

COMBINATION
When it comes to humanitarian missions,
the rapid reconfiguration, speed and flexibility of
the C-390 Millennium has proven indispensable
for the Brazilian Air Force. During the height of
the COVID pandemic, they employed the C-390 to
deliver vital medical supplies, including ambulances
and liquid oxygen, to remote communities in the
Amazon Basin. After the 2021 Haiti earthquake,
a C-390 was used by the Brazilian Air Force to
deliver 10.5 tonnes of medicines, food and
health equipment to help victims and support
the emergency relief operation. And when a
devastating explosion occurred in the port area
of Beirut, Lebanon, the Brazilian Air Force got
vital medicines and food supplies ‘on the ground’
in just under 16hrs. Proven in the field and in the
toughest of environments, the C-390 has now
been chosen by the Portuguese and Hungarian
air forces to lead their humanitarian missions.
