Embraer Defense & Security has signed an agreement with ST Engineering to jointly explore alternatives for future collaboration in engineering, maintenance and support service activities for the C-390 Millennium multi-mission transport aircraft in the Asia Pacific region. In addition, both companies will cooperate on products and services including radars and land systems, C4ISTAR, border security, simulation and advanced production methodologies, which will support ST Engineering’s portfolio of capabilities in South America.

The cooperation is based on a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in February during the Singapore Airshow 2024 and will reinforce Embraer’s growing presence in the aerospace and defense ecosystem.

“The C-390 Millennium is a flagship product for Embraer Defense & Security, and it received a lot of attention at the recent Singapore Airshow. We look forward to growing our customer base in the region,” said Bosco da Costa Junior, President & CEO, Embraer Defense & Security.

The C-390 is capable of performing a wide range of missions such as transporting and dropping cargo and troops, medical evacuation, search and rescue, firefighting, and humanitarian missions, operating on temporary or unpaved runways such as packed earth, soil, and gravel. The aircraft has been selected by South Korea, Czech Republic, Austria, the Netherlands, Portugal and Brazil.
