strategic structures. Both compose the Tepro Consortium, in charge
of implementing the Integrated Border Monitoring System (Sisfron, in
Portuguese) in Brazil. Sisfron comprises a border area of 800 km in the
state of Mato Grosso do Sul. By 2016, 70% of the project had already
been executed.
Visiona Tecnologia Espacial is a joint venture formed between Embraer
and Telebras with the objective of acting in the integration of the sys-
tem of Strategic Defense and Communications Geostationary Satellite
(SGDC, in Portuguese) of the Brazilian Government. Scheduled to be
launched at French Guiana in the first semester of 2017, the SGDC
aims to meet the country's satellite communications needs, including
the National Program (PNBL) and a broad spectrum of strategies.
The Gripen Design Development Network (GDDN) in Gavião Peixoto,
Brazil, also began operations this year, established for the devel-
opment of the Gripen NG in Brazil, in partnership with the Swedish
company SAAB. Embraer Defense & Security and SAAB will conduct
the full development of the two-seat version of the fighter. Between
2019 and 2024, 36 Gripen NG fighters will be delivered to the Bra-
zilian Air Force (FAB, in Portuguese). [G4-13|
Gold Medal in Defense & Security
In 2016, Rio de Janeiro hosted the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and
nearly 2.5 million people passed through Tom Jobim International Airport.
Embraer Defense & Security companies - Atech, Visiona Tecnologia
Espacial, Savis and Bradar - worked in partnership with the Brazilian
Government and contributed to the above-average safety compliance
indices, as measured by the Ministry of Transportation.
-
Atech which incorporated the activities of Embraer Systems in 2016
- offered the Integrated Air Traffic Management System (SIGMA, in
Portuguese), which provides airspace usage planning, and the Advanced Air
Traffic Information Management System and Reports of Operational Interest
(SAGITARIO, in Portuguese), which simplifies airspace management,
previously planned with SIGMA.
Visiona, in partnership with five other companies, carried out a monitoring
pilot project by capturing high and very high resolution images, even under
adverse climatic conditions.
During the football matches held in Brasília, the nation's capital, with the
support of Savis and Bradar, the army relied on a 4G/LTE (700MHz) mobile
broadband network with a more reliable connection, without oscillations
or interference. In Rio de Janeiro, the company also made available the
Airborne Monitoring Sensor Based on Radio-Frequency Emission (SABER
M60, in Portuguese), which assisted the Brazilian Aerospace Defense
System (SISDABRA, in Portuguese) in protecting the Games' governmental
and sports facilities.
Agricultural Aviation
Embraer's Ipanema aircraft is the leader in the Brazilian
agricultural aviation market, with 75% market share and
more than 1,300 units sold. The product has been
manufactured for 50 years, without interruption, focusing on
market trends and customer needs. This is the world's first
airplane to be certified to fly with 100% ethanol for fuel.

Research, innovation
and development
Being at the forefront of technology is a
fundamental condition for Embraer, whose
strategy is based on continuous learning
and the ability to innovate.
-
The manufacturing plants house engineer-
ing and product development teams the
largest of which is in São José dos Cam-
pos, Brazil, which concentrates more than
4,000 professionals in these activities,
240 of whom are in pre-competitive R&D.
In addition, the company maintains three
engineering and technology centers: in Belo
Horizonte (MG, Brazil), Melbourne (Florida,
USA) and in the District of Évora (Portugal).
Embraer protects the intellectual property
generated by its research and development
investments. Throughout the year, consider-
ing the portfolios of invention patents and in-
dustrial design, the company filed 609 patent
applications and had 314 patents granted.
The company also allocates resources for in-
novation through the Aerospace Participation
Investment Fund (FIP, in Portuguese), creat-
ed in 2014 with the Brazilian Development
Bank (BNDES, in Portuguese), the Funding
Authority for Studies and Projects (FINEP, in
Portuguese), and the State of São Paulo de-
velopment agency Desenvolve SP. In 2016, in-
vestments were made in five companies in the
space, defense and cyber security segments,
for which R$44.27 million were allocated.
Incremental innovation, in addition to oc-
curring vigorously within P3E (see page
21), is stimulated among employees by
the Good Idea and the Innova programs.
Good Idea is a program of suggestions for
the development of routine activities with
more efficiency. Throughout its history, the
program has received contributions from
13,000 people and, in 2016, recorded
11,650 implementations of initiatives.
The Innova Program stimulates the culture of innovation and provides
spaces for the consolidation of ideas. The main initiative today is
Green Light, which brings a startup environment into the company by
offering financial support and up to 100% paid time off for employees
to develop their projects. This year, 28 projects were awarded funding
for 76 people. Innova underwent a review and, starting in 2017, the
program also assumes the role of catalyzing exponential technolo-
gies and identifying disruptive opportunities for the business. With
this goal, the company will begin immersion into the innovation hubs
of the Silicon Valley and of Boston, USA.
In addition to these initiatives, employees also meet annually
for the Embraer Seminar on Technology and Innovation (SETI, in
Portuguese), a conference that presents the main technological
advances being developed, which can be strengthened through
integration of the different departments of the company.
Regarding product sustainability, the program for the Integrated De-
velopment of Environmentally Sustainable Products (DIPAS, in Por-
tuguese), coordinated by the Engineering department, leads studies
and actions to insert Design for Environment (DfE) strategies into
the company. Through this initiative, the use of restricted material
is managed with consideration for current and future environmen-
tal legislation, technological alternatives to these materials are
developed, and studies are conducted with respect to the product
life cycle. There is also extensive interaction with the departments
responsible for the creation of technologies aimed at reducing fuel
consumption, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, noise, maintenance
costs, and increasing operational efficiency, as well as pilot and
passenger comfort. Since the aircraft's operation is the longest
stage in its life cycle, exceeding 15 years of activity, reducing fuel
consumption and, consequently, energy, has a direct impact on
the product's environmental performance. Additionally, fuel costs
are the main expense in aircraft operation, which is why manufac-
turers are always seeking design options that promote efficiency,
thereby meeting both environmental and market requirements.

United by the common good |G4-EN27|
In 2016, Embraer and Boeing conducted tests on an E170 aircraft,
which received a series of technologies to reduce environmental
impact and increase aircraft efficiency and performance, such as a
system for measuring air data; special paint to lessen the accumulation
of ice and insects; aerodynamic modifications to reduce noise on
takeoff and landing; and a bio-fuel blend, produced in Brazil, with 10%
bio-kerosene and 90% fossil kerosene. This initiative is part of the
partnership between these companies in the context of the Boeing eco-
Demonstrator program, which, without precedent, unites the efforts of
two of the world's leading aircraft manufacturers for the benefit of the
environment and of the aerospace industry.View entire presentation
