Technical Capacity and On-Field Balances
Conclusion and Future Perspective
The first Gripen E produced in Brazil meeting the sky is not only a victory of the military-industrial cooperation between the two countries, but also a clear indicator of the localization trend in global supply chain models. The successful technology transfer model serves as a reference for developing economies wishing to undertake similar projects. With the increase in production pace in the future, a profound transformation in Latin America's air power architecture is expected.
