Brazil’s defense market remains one of the most important in the Southern Hemisphere. Brazil’s defense budget has hovered around 20-22 billion USD and the budget proposal for 2023 is similar at around $23 billion USD. Major Brazilian Defense Strategic projects include: the Submarine Development Program (PROSUB) and the Navy Nuclear Program (PNM) coordinated by the Brazilian Navy, the Guarani armored wheeled vehicles, the Integrated Border Monitoring System (SISFRON), Cyber Defense, the KC-390 aircraft, Gripen AM-X aircraft modernization, and Space System Strategic Program (coordinated by the Brazilian Air Force_. The National Strategy of Defense (NSD) published in 2008 and revised every 4 years continues to be the guide for the medium and long-term strategy for the defense sector in Brazil. The three strategic sectors highlighted in the NSD are: nuclear, cyber, and space. Additional priorities include promoting the development of and strengthening the Brazilian defense industry, which produces aircraft, vessels, cybernetic tools for data protection, radars, secure communication systems, weapons, among other high-tech items that contribute to the country’s exports of defense items to many third markets in the Middle East and Africa. The U.S. has a long history of trade, investment, space, and defense cooperation with Brazil. The Brazilian space sector has been expanding its activities since the signature and ratifications of the technology safeguards agreement (TSA) between Brazil and the U.S. in 2019. The TSA allows the use of U.S. technology in space launches from Brazil, specifically the Alcantara Space Launch Center. The strategic relationship between Brazil and U.S. in the space sector has been growing in recent years with several foundational agreements signed, such as the Space Situational Awareness Agreement, the CubeSat Agreement to Study Solar Physics, Scintillation Prediction Observations Research Task - SPORT, and the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space Cooperation Agreement. Priorities for the space sector includes development in the satellite constellations, launch vehicles, a space launch center (Alcantara), and a space operations center. Defense
