CAMPINAS, Brazil. Embraer has delivered the first two SABER M60 2.0 radars to the Brazilian Army, which will use the radars in their anti-aircraft artillery units, the company announced in a statement.

Earlier this year, Embraer won a contract to provide four more of the radars, bringing the total to six. The radars were developed in Brazil and is currently operational with the country's army -- version 2.0 is the latest update of the radar, which was completed in 2019, the statement reads.

"The SABER M60 is a search radar that integrates a low-altitude anti-aircraft defense system to protect strategic points and areas, such as factories, power plants, and government facilities," the statement adds.

Embraer says the radars use 3D and have a range of 32 nautical miles, an altitude of up to 16,400 feet, and can track up to 60 targets at the same time.
