Embraer - Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A.

Aviation Services is the business unit that encompasses aircraft maintenance, spare parts, training and aeronautical systems. Besides the Embraer-owned companies specialized in this type of activity, Embraer Aircraft Maintenance Services (EAMS) and OGMA – Indústria Aeronáutica de Portugal, located in the USA and Portugal, respectively, Embraer has its own workshops and parts warehouses in the USA, France, China, Singapore and Brazil.

In order to support its customers and provide after-sales services, Embraer offers 24-hour field support, 365 days a year.

Starting in 2006, abroad expansion program was announced for the Executive Aviation customer support network. The Company is building four new centers – three in North America and one in Europe – an investment of more than US$ 100 million. By mid-2008, this network will have a total of 45 units – seven service centers owned by Embraer and 38 authorized maintenance locations.

Continuous investments, the forging of partnerships and the establishment of units in strategic locations increasingly improve the segment, which aims for excellence in service and the ongoing successeffective establishment of the Company in this market.

Since its foundation in 2001, the Embraer Institute for Education and Research has focused its activities on initiatives which contribute to the process of social inclusion through Education.

The Embraer Institute is mainly acting in two areas: educational projects, targeted on students in the public school network and projects for improvement of the management process, focused on organizations of the civil society / NGOs and public schools. the management process, focused on organizations of the civil society / NGOs and public schools.

Furthermore, in 2008 investments were made in job training of people with special needs (partnership with the Municipal Administration of Sao Jose dos Campos), university entrance exam preparatory courses for students from low-income families (‘Gavião Peixoto’ and ‘Nova Europa’, partnership with UNESP) and entrepreneurship (partnership with the NGO Junior Achievement, since 2002).

In order to guide its decisions and practices, criteria have been established which reflect Embraer Institute’s experstise, its corporate culture, the employees’ commitment and the community environment where the projects are implemented. These criteria are applied in a transparent and consistent way in selecting initiatives which will be given support, and analogically in projects started and guided by the Institute itself.

Besides their technical criteria, Embraer Institute’s initiatives also reflect three types of concerns: quality; innovation; costs.

The quality of our social investment projects partially derives from the Company’s policy of requesting from Embraer Institute standards similar to those achieved in its range of products. In the aircraft industry, quality is an absolute value and we strongly believe that there is a real possibility of improving Brazilian public education, beginning with managerial improvements and without any significant increase in costs, which has encouraged us to develop alternative models capable of successfully meeting the needs of determined segments of the public education network.

Innovation is another priority of Embraer Institute. If it didn’t come up with its own proposals to be tested and made available, the Institute would be expected to limit its work scope to distributing grants among institutions whose objectives and operational standards are satisfactory. However, Embraer Institute is part of a high-tech company competing on a worldwide scale; the topics of Education and Management are present in Embraer’s daily routine and, as a consequence, we are commited to discussing these issues, giving support to improving the education quality and increasing the degree of social inclusion of talented young people from low-income families.

All the financial resources invested by Embraer Institute, be it in own projects or in partnerships, are provided by Embraer, its sole maintainer.

PLATFORM

From successful commercial aircraft to cost-effective defense systems, the transformation of the ERJ 145 platform into a military aircraft equipped with sensors capable of detecting and interpreting "targets" (aircraft, missiles, boats, vehicles, ground facilities, all types of electromagnetic radiation and natural resources) required sizable investments and sophisticated technology, much of which affected the basic aircraft itself. This is where Embraer's technology and expertise come into play.

The perfect combination of modern equipment, advanced technology and low downtime, together with a high degree of readiness — the direct result of a platform intended for the competitive regional market — has improved operating economics through a reduction in inspection frequencies and ground times, enabling these aircraft to fly over 3,000 FH annually.

It's a simple formula: intelligence, plus surveillance, plus reconnaissance equals situational awareness. Integrating it on one platform is fundamental to mission success.

Affordable, reliable, efficient and innovative — the EMB 145 is designed specifically for the demanding intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance mission requirements in today's information warfare environment.

The aircraft are capable of receiving and transmitting data through their embedded, state-of-the-art wide band on-board data-link systems. Sensor images, including target data, are readily received from or relayed to command and control stations on the ground or in the air or to other aircraft in the operational theater.
