While South American militaries will
continue to import drone technology from extra-regional suppliers, the
successful test of a locally manufactured kamikaze drone by the
Brazilian Navy demonstrates the rising role of “made in South America”
systems.
Armed forces across the globe are increasingly interested in uncrewed aerial systems (UASs) due to their ability to support a variety of missions: combat, reconnaissance and even disaster relief. South America is keeping up. Recent developments in the militaries and defence industries of Brazil and Colombia are examples of the current strong momentum, as many armed forces focus their efforts on locally produced drone options.
