Argentine Air Force Receives First Modernised Tucano

Upgrade Enables Night Flying

The Argentine Air Force has received the first Embraer EMB-312 Tucano modernised by Redimec, in a ceremony that also included delivery of the third (of 12) UC-12B Herons procured from US Navy stocks.

Work on the Tucano was undertaken by Redimec at the Área de Material Río Cuarto, the service’s principal maintenance centre. Four aircraft are already going through the process, while a second contract for a further eight awaits signature. The upgrade includes a new multifunction display with synthetic vision, as well as new communications and navigation systems. These modification enable flights to be made with night vision systems, so both internal and external lighting systems were also adapted.
