Development
Brazil has a long-term project to build an anti-radiation missile, known as MAR-1. The missile is being developed by a teaming of the national missile developers Mectron and the Air Force's Aerospace Technical Centre (CTA), both based at São José dos Campos. There existence of the MAR-1 has been speculated on for many years, but never confirmed by the Brazilian authorities who view it as a highly sensitive programme. Mectron does not comment on the status of the MAR-1, except to say that it is a live programme conducted jointly with the CTA. In 2004 sources in the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) confirmed that the MAR-1 was nearing the end of its development and that a preliminary operational capability would be fielded in 2005. Since then, further flight tests have been conducted by the FAB but the missile has not yet been formally accepted into service.
