The two companies will cooperate on business opportunities and projects for the Brazilian MoD and auxiliary forces.

Brazilian company ALLTEC Composite Material has signed an MoU with Rafael Advanced Defense Systems to cooperate on business opportunities to supply passive add-on armour solutions to the Brazilian MoD.

Israel-based Rafael noted in a 10 March announcement that it will collaborate with ALLTEC on the supply of passive add-on armour solutions from STANAG Level 4 and above, with ‘maximum local [Brazilian] industrial content’.

The agreement also covers maintenance and life cycle support, Rafael added. Its add-on reactive and passive armour defends against anti-tank rockets, small firearms and armour-piercing projectiles, as well as high-speed explosive fragments.

ALLTEC is already contracted to provide add-on ballistic protection kits — including ceramic add-on armour — for the Guarani VBTP-MR 6x6 vehicle (pictured) used by the Brazilian Army.
