Key procurement sectors
Brazil procurement landscape
Brazil's defense-acquisition philosophy is anchored in a domestic-industry-development mandate that shapes how major programs are structured. Rather than straightforward off-the-shelf procurement, Brazil consistently demands technology transfer, licensed production, and supply-chain nationalization as conditions for large platform awards. Two programs exemplify this approach. The Gripen E/F fighter program, awarded to Saab, includes an extensive technology-transfer package to Embraer enabling Brazilian final assembly and development of national variants. The PROSUB submarine program, structured with France's Naval Group, involves construction of four diesel-electric submarines and one nuclear-powered submarine hull in Brazil, with the transfer of submarine-construction know-how to the newly built Itaguaí facility. Additional procurement categories include armored vehicles, transport aircraft, naval surface combatants, and the broad range of operational consumables and sustainment services that support the armed forces day-to-day. Portugal-language documentation is standard throughout the Brazilian defense procurement process.
