Embraer, a leading force in the global aerospace industry, is set to make a significant impression at DSEI Japan in Chiba City, taking place from May 21 to 23, 2025. The company will highlight its advanced defense and security offerings, underscoring its commitment to innovation and cutting-edge technology. With a focus on multi-role capabilities, Embraer is poised to showcase solutions that address the evolving needs of modern defense forces, particularly in the realm of air mobility and tactical support.

At the heart of Embraer’s display will be the KC-390 Millennium, a versatile multi-role medium airlift and tanker aircraft. Designed to meet a wide range of operational requirements, the KC-390 is built for rapid deployment, enhanced performance, and flexibility in challenging environments. Embraer will present the KC-390 as a key asset for defense forces looking to modernize their fleets with a robust and highly capable platform for both airlift and aerial refueling missions. This aircraft stands out for its advanced avionics, superior cargo capacity, and ability to operate from short and unprepared airstrips.

Visitors to DSEI Japan will have the opportunity to explore the KC-390 Millennium up close at Booth H8-480, where Embraer experts will provide detailed insights into the aircraft’s capabilities and its role in enhancing global defense operations. As Embraer continues to lead the way in aerospace innovation, the company’s participation in DSEI Japan is a testament to its growing influence in the defense sector and its dedication to providing next-generation solutions to military forces worldwide.

“Embraer is honored to be at DSEI Japan, showcasing the capabilities and reliability of the KC-390 Millennium that attracted a growing number of operators around the world,” said Bosco da Costa Junior, President & CEO, Embraer Defense & Security. “Japan is an important market for Embraer, with our commercial aviation’s E-Jets growing in the country over the past 15 years. Performance and reliability are key features of Embraer’s aircraft across all our business units, and we look forward to supporting Japan’s defense and aerospace needs.”

Embraer’s KC-390 Millennium is rapidly gaining traction as the preferred aircraft for nations across the globe, particularly in Europe. As countries modernize their defense forces, the KC-390 is enhancing their operational capabilities while promoting stronger interoperability between allied nations. Already in use by Brazil, Portugal, and Hungary, the aircraft has been ordered by South Korea, the Netherlands, Austria, and the Czech Republic. Most recently, Sweden and Slovakia have chosen the KC-390 for their national defense needs. This growing global adoption, especially among NATO members, promotes seamless cooperation, facilitates knowledge-sharing, and ensures broader support networks.

The KC-390 Millennium represents a leap forward in multi-role military aviation. Built to meet the demands of modern military operations, this advanced aircraft offers superior speed (470 knots) and extended range for a standard crew duty day. It outperforms other medium-sized cargo aircraft by carrying 26 tons of cargo. Powered by the efficient IAE V2500 engines, the KC-390 is engineered to operate from short, unpaved, and damaged airstrips, making it ideal for remote and disaster-stricken regions with minimal infrastructure.

Boasting a versatile mix of strategic and tactical capabilities, the KC-390 Millennium stands as a cost-effective and reliable solution for countries like Japan. Its ability to operate over long distances and seamlessly integrate into joint operations enhances Japan’s ability to respond swiftly and effectively to a range of challenges. Additionally, the aircraft’s air-to-air refueling (AAR) capability adds significant value as a force multiplier.

The KC-390 Millennium is capable of performing numerous mission types, including cargo and troop transport, aerial firefighting, search and rescue (SAR), humanitarian aid and disaster relief (HADR) operations, and aeromedical evacuations. Its advanced features also enable extended maritime surveillance and SAR missions, with AAR significantly extending operational reach and time on station. For Japan’s defense, the ability to operate from shorter runways and refuel other aircraft is essential.

With a remarkable mission accomplishment rate of 99% and low operational costs, the KC-390 Millennium delivers unparalleled reliability. Designed for flexibility and interoperability, it is equipped to perform various missions demanded by modern air forces.

In Asia-Pacific, Embraer’s aircraft are actively operated by defense forces in countries like India, the Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia, with South Korea set to receive its KC-390 Millennium soon.

Over the past two decades, Embraer has demonstrated its engineering prowess by designing, manufacturing, and delivering 21 different aircraft platforms into service, showcasing its commitment to excellence.

Embraer’s participation in DSEI Japan further underscores its long-term commitment to the Japanese market, highlighting its ongoing effort to provide cutting-edge aerospace solutions that support Japan’s defense and contribute to the broader regional security landscape.
