Embraer expects the first of modernised E-99M airborne early warning and control aircraft for the Brazilian Air Force to take place in August. The Brazilian Air Force has five Embraer 145s that have been converted to E-99 AEW&C aircraft. The air force originally planned to modernise the fleet six years ago but decided recently to go ahead with the programme. The Brazilian Air Force is expected to receive its first E-99M aircraft in the first half of 2020. The second of five aircraft is already at Embraer's facility. Modernisation is taking place on a a yearly pace as Embraer will deliver one aircraft when finished and then will receive another to be modernised.
