Brazilian defense contractor, SIATT, and the Department of the Science & Technology (DCT) of the Brazilian Army signed an agreement regarding licensing the MAX 1.2 AC anti-tank guided missile.
During the agreement signing ceremony at the Brazilian Army Evaluation Center (CAEx) in Marambaia, Rio de Janeiro, the Brazilian Army also renamed the anti-tank guided missile “MAX 1.2 AC.” The MAX 1.2 AC is a laser-guided anti-tank missile, that has a strike range of around 2000 meters.
The licensing authority will allow SIATT to get investments, especially from the UAE’s Edge Group, to improve the capabilities of the missile, such as range, penetration capability, anti-jamming capability, and increase efficiency against reactive armor.
The name “MAX” is a tribute to Sergeant Max Wolf Filho, a Brazilian hero who served bravely in the Brazilian Expeditionary Force (FEB) during World War II, participating in the Italian Campaign. This name carries a symbolic connection to the courage and determination shown by the sergeant in battle, values that the MAX 1.2 AC missile also represents in its design and application.
