Equipaer, is the sole supplier of aerial target systems to the Brazilian Air Force for gunnery training, providing a broad range of products and technical support. Besides aerial targets, thecompany also supplies rocket launchers and aeronautic products not only for the Brazilian Air Force but also for other Air Forces.

Its commitment to quality granted the company with three distinct quality assurance certificates as well as the welding processes certification.

History 

 In 1969, under the request of the Brazilian Aeronautics Material Department (DIRMA), the first air-to-air targets for the Air-Strike Squadron at the Santa Cruz Air Base were created, offering technical support for the certification of the products on Gloster Meteor.

This pioneering project allowed the Brazilian Air Force to acquire industrial skills inexistent in Brazil until then, as well as to get strategic and economic benefits through nationalization of aeronautic products and consequent savings and improved efficiency of its training missions.

The success of this project opened new perspectives for the company, which continued to develop over the years new aerial training targets with more sophisticated systems, such as the acoustic target system.

The entrepreneurial initiative, in conjunction with a nationalistic spirit to answer to the Brazilian Air Force call, fueled the main decisions of the company.

In the mid-80 the development activities continued, with the development of rockets launchers (seven and nineteen rockets) at very competitive prices. This project allowed Equipaer to develop new technologies, which qualified the company for further sophisticated projects. The interest in diversifying products portfolio and the customer base led the company to develop a missile adapter for the AL-X/Embraer program, among other projects. 
 
Mission

To project, develop, manufacture and commercialize aeronautic and defense products, aiming to fulfill its client’s expectations with products and services that represent the most adequate technical and economic solution possible.
