On December 3, 2024, Brazilian aerospace company Embraer signed an agreement with the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) during the Mostra BID—Brazil’s National Defense and Security Fair in Brasília—to initiate joint studies aimed at enhancing the C-390 Millennium transport aircraft. These studies will focus on expanding the aircraft’s capabilities for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions, particularly in the maritime domain. The proposed new variant, designated the C-390 IVR, is expected to include features for deploying anti-ship missiles, as depicted in a CGI visualization released by Embraer.
