Leonardo, April 07, 2023 - Leonardo is participating at the 13th edition of LAAD Defense & Security, in Rio de Janeiro 11-14 April, the most important trade exhibition in Latin America.
To date, more than 190 helicopters are present in Brazil.
There are 400 units present in the region, employed in different operational roles, from private transport to law enforcement and public services, as well as offshore transport and naval applications.
South America shows significant potential with medium- and long-term development for EMS/SAR operations, and disaster relief operations.
The AW119Kx is the first single-engine light helicopter, and the only one fully certified, to meet all IFR (instrument flight rule) standards. The platform offers a modern avionics suite and a spacious interior to allow greater operational flexibility.
Operators around the world benefit from the best combination of performance and load capacity among single-engine helicopters, combined with high safety standards guaranteed by the redundancy of the main systems.
The AW119Kx is able to offer exceptional controllability and maneuverability, even in the presence of high temperatures and at altitude.
In operation with the Police Forces of Brazil and Argentina and the armed forces of Ecuador, the aircraft is ideal for emergency medical services (EMS) and for rescue missions thanks to its performance and capabilities, it maintains the typical characteristics of a light twin engine through the redundancy of all critical systems, while its autonomy and wide range of action allow operators to intervene quickly in case of accidents over large distances.
To cope with new threats, law enforcement agencies are called upon to operate in increasingly evolved ways. The AW169 is a unique and versatile vehicle that allows law enforcement professionals to intervene quickly in ever-changing and demanding missions.
Exceptional in its multi-role capabilities, the AW169 is the ideal solution for missions such as surveillance, air support, drug trafficking, border patrol, medical evacuation and personnel recovery, natural disasters, SAR, fire-fighting and public utility services. The advanced avionics suite and cockpit design improve visibility and minimise pilot fatigue, allowing the crew to focus efforts on the mission.
Simply unrivaled is the AW139 which boasts the impressive distinction of best-selling twin-engine helicopter in its class, with over 1,130 units in service with customers worldwide. It is placed in the 7 tons category, with transport capacity of up to 15 people and a multi-role vocation thanks to the rapid configurability, its open architecture and comprehensive range of sensors, communication, and data sharing systems necessary to operate in a network-centric environment.
The platform is an ideal replacement of the UH-1s present in the LATAM region, with its various configurations, including law enforcement, air ambulance, VIP transport, SAR, and offshore oil platform support.
Through a global network active 24/7 all over the world, Leonardo guarantees support and training services for fleets in service, responding effectively and safely to the requests of civil and military operators, wherever they are. Leonardo's main mission is to provide the necessary technical assistance, training of flight and ground personnel, maintenance and updates to helicopters throughout their life cycle.
In Itapevi, near São Paulo, the new logistics assistance centre is operational and capable of supporting the growing Brazilian and South American helicopter fleet.
