Aviation Specialties Unlimited, (ASU) announced that the company was awarded a NVG contract in Brazil along with their Brazilian based distributor Quartzo Defense. The contract enables governmental organizations from 26 Brazilian states and the Federal District, such as military police, civil police and military firefighters the ability to purchase products and services from ASU.

ASU will initially supply NVIS in three military police helicopters and one military firefighters’ helicopter from the Federal District. The order will include 12 night vision goggles, 45 helmets, and training for 12 pilots and crew members. Military police from two other states and the civil police of the Federal District are about to join this contract in the next two weeks.

“ASU’s core mission revolves around safety,” ASU vice president Dan Meyer. “ASU has provided goggles, aircraft modifications and training for numerous Latin American countries that are defending their countries, fighting the war on drugs, fighting fires, and rescuing people among many other missions. We are glad to partner with the Brazilian government to supply essential night vision solutions that will enable the various federal, civil and military operations in Brazil to operate more safely at night.”

ASU with the support of our distributor Quartzo Defense has already visited state public helicopter operators from 22 of the 27 states in Brazil, showing the advantages of the NVG operations, and will continue to supply other Brazilian operators through the NVG contract.

“This is a significant win for ASU and more importantly for Brazil. This contract award gives them instant access to state-of-the-art technology that can help save lives. We are thankful to help them with their ability to serve their states, communities and ultimately their nation,” said Meyer.
