Delivery will begin in the last quarter of 2011 and is expected to be completed by end 2013. This contract is the second that AOS has received from the Brazilian Navy. Two units of 40mm L70 naval gun with ILS package were ordered in 2007. Delivery of the first gun is currently in progress and will be installed on a Brazilian Navy patrol vessel. Both contracts were won amidst strong competition from established global players.

These class leading features of the gun give it the capability to instantly engage aerial and surface targets simultaneously.

We are delighted with this latest order and will ensure that we exceed all expectations of the esteemed Brazilian Navy,” says SEW Chee Jhuen, President, ST Kinetics.
