The Brazilian Air Force (Força Aérea Brasileira: FAB) has received back into service its first Embraer E-99A (EMB-145SA) airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) platform to be upgraded to the full operating capability (FOC) standard.

Embraer announced the milestone on 23 November, saying that this first FOC aircraft is also the last of the FAB's fleet of five aircraft to be upgraded to the E-99M (modernised) standard. The four airframes previously delivered back to the FAB will now be retrofitted to the FOC standard as well.

“The aircraft has been updated to perform AEW&C functions, as well as participate in intelligence, surveillance, and airborne reconnaissance missions,” Embraer said.
