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.
 
During the show in April 2023, BAE Systems showcased land capabilities from the CV90 infantry fighting vehicle family and the M109A7 artillery system. The Offshore Patrol Vessel Amazonas class ships plus the 40Mk4 and 57Mk3 naval guns lead the maritime presence. The LiteHUD™ head-up display was on show with leading air defence, radar products, APKWS® laser-guidance kit plus electronic warfare and command and communications capabilities across all domains. Additional capabilities were displayed on the company’s interactive digital presentation system, such as training and sustainment activities. In the air domain, BAE Systems will continue to collaborate with Embraer on its commercial aviation products, the C-390 military transport aeroplane and the EVE Urban Air Mobility aircraft. The company’s electric propulsion solutions for municipal transport, heavy-duty and military vehicles also featured.
