EDGE, one of the world’s leading defence and advanced technology groups, has formed a partnership with the Brazilian Army to develop a framework for testing next-generation weaponry by specialised troops.
The partnership involves testing the CARACAL Assault Rifle CAR 816, chambered in 5.56×45 mm NATO, and the CARACAL Sniper Rifle CSR50, chambered in 12.7×99 mm NATO, in demanding and realistic operational environments. The tests will be carried out by specialised units to assess performance under specific and challenging conditions.
The agreement reflects the mutual interest of both parties in promoting knowledge exchange and joint capability development through technical, operational, and logistical discussions. The initiative aims to identify solutions that improve the deployment of these systems within the Brazilian Army, as well as support the training and development of human capital, strengthening the skills of special forces operating assault and precision rifles. It is expected that the outcomes will directly contribute to increasing combat effectiveness and enhancing operational readiness levels across the Brazilian Land Force.
This agreement marks a further step in EDGE’s collaboration with the Brazilian Army, strengthening its commitment to innovation, operational excellence, and the development of strategic capabilities in Brazil.
