At BAE Systems, we serve, supply and protect those who serve and protect us.
LAAD Defence & Security is the most important trade show for the defence and security industry in Latin America and attracts a large contingent of customers from the region and around the world. The biennial event brings together Brazilian and International companies that specialise in supplying equipment, services and technology to the Armed Forces, Police and Special Forces, Security Services, consultants and government agencies.
Latin America is an important region for BAE Systems, and Brazil continues to provide much opportunity across all sectors. Brazil, as the largest economy in LATAM, has a natural influence across the region and beyond.
