On May 14, 2026, SIATT delivered the initial production batch of MAX 1.2 AC anti-tank missiles to the Brazilian Army in Formosa, Goiás. This event concludes a lengthy development cycle and signifies the transition from prototype to serial production at SIATT's facility in Caçapava, São Paulo.
The MAX 1.2 AC, measuring 1.38 meters and weighing 15.4 kilograms, features a laser-guided system capable of engaging static and moving targets at ranges from 200 meters to 3.2 kilometers. The Brazilian Army's first dedicated anti-tank unit, established in late 2024, will integrate these domestically manufactured missiles, enhancing operational readiness. The initiative is part of Brazil's broader strategy to ensure military self-sufficiency, particularly highlighted during the Guyana-Venezuela border crisis when prototype stocks were deployed.
