Fighter Pilot (F-39 Gripen E / AMX A-1)
The FAB is transitioning to the Saab JAS-39E Gripen — known in Brazil as the F-39 Gripen E — under a 2014 acquisition contract that includes extensive technology transfer to Embraer and Brazil's defence industrial base. The F-39 will replace the AMX A-1 (Italian-Brazilian SIAI-Marchetti/Aermacchi platform, being retired). Pilots entering the FAB fighter pipeline today are training for the platform that will define Brazilian air power for a generation. The Gripen technology transfer means Brazil will ultimately produce and maintain significant portions of these aircraft domestically — a strategic industrial ambition as much as a military procurement.
