The Brazilian Army has placed an order to the country's state-owned shipyard Arsenal de Marinha do Rio de Janeiro (AMRJ) to build four LOpRib (Lancha de Operações Ribeirinhas) multimission riverine fast armoured attack crafts to provide further mobility and firepower to combat groups deployed in remote regions of Brazil, the army's Manufacturing Directorate confirmed on 22 September in a statement.

This contract would more than double the number of LOpRib boats being operated by the Brazilian Armed Forces. The LOpRib design is based on the Excalibur craft type developed by the Ladário Fluvial Base.

The Manufacturing Directorate awarded the contract on 21 September to meet the Armoured Boat Type 2 requirement as included in the scope of Armoured Crafts Obtention Project (POEB), part of the wider Army Strategic Program Obtaining Full Operational Capability (Prg EE OCOP).

No information was provided on the amount of the contract and delivery schedule.
