The F-5E and F-5F are single-seat and two-seat fighters that were incorporated into the Brazilian Air Force in the 1970s.
The modernisation programme aims to provide advanced electronic warfare systems, new avionics, air-to-air refuelling system, and higher operational capability to the aircraft so that its useful life is extended by 15 years.
The first delivery of the second batch of upgraded jets is scheduled for 2013.
