The process, called " Period Modernização Meio " or PMM , allow the carrier to return to active duty in 2019 and that may be available twenty years, until 2039 .

A number of amendments are intended to allow the operation of an aircraft over 20 tonnes , predictably the Sea Gripen . Why are amended and replaced parts of the two elevators to move aircraft over 20 tonnes and repair and amend the two catapults. In this sense the November 24 contract assigned to the French shipyard DCNS for the maintenance and modernization of the propulsion system , valued at $ 2.1 million was published.

In the area of weapons systems, new air defense systems will be installed point , as the approach radars are replaced , the new tactical combat system ( SICONTA ) Mk IV and an integrated communications system will be installed . Inside the living conditions for the crew will be improved, proceed to the replacement of pipes and conduits , will work on the installation of a propulsion system , power generation and distribution and reviewing generation systems will be performed steam. The optical system of landing, the flight deck and hangar was also modernized , modified and modernized systems, water treatment, air conditioning, cold storage and compressed air .

The " Sao Paulo " was originally a French aircraft carrier, the FNS Foch, decommissioned in France 2000. This modernization allowed for now to further the project of construction of a new aircraft carrier more than 50,000 tons displacement to be built in Brazil with the assistance of a foreign technologist would bring the basic design.

So, sounds like they are going to:

- Upgrade the Elevators
- Upgrade the Cats
- Upgrade/Modernize the engines
- Add a new air defense system
- Upgrade/replace the radars
- Upgrade the optical landing system
- Upgrade/modernize the generators and electrical distribution
- New Air Conditioning, Water treatment, refrigeration
- Improve the berthing spaces

A very complete overhaul of the vessel to take four years. It will be interesting to learn the specifics.

Good for Brazil.

I wonder what the upgraded and modernized version of the Sau Paulo planes will be using? I'm guessing either the French Rafale or the Saab JAS 39 Gripin.;)

Good guess amigo! The Brazilian Congress has allocated funds for the development of the Naval Gripen. These will probably be built last since the A-4s are in the process of being upgraded and are still useful.

(defensa.com) According to a statement released by the Ministry of Defence, the Draft Annual Budget Law for 2015 must include full credit of nearly $ 500 million to launch the procurement of fighter aircraft Gripen NG. The text of the note states that the contribution of that amount was outstanding on Monday at the meeting of the Monitoring Committee of F-X2 Project, held at the Defense Ministry in Brasilia.


The note specifies that the president of the Coordination Committee of the Programme of Combat Aircraft (COPAC), Brigadier José Augusto Crepaldi Affonso, the statement "demonstrates the government's commitment to the project" in the original schedule should have endorsed in their respective contract before the end of December this year.

In addition to resources, the FX-2 project must also demonstrate commitment to the issue of technology transfer. According Crepaldi, thanks to advances in the negotiations, the participation of the Brazilian defense industry in this project will happen on a larger scale, being present in more steps than previously expected. "The steering committee meeting is very important because it allows, through the Ministry of Defense, an interaction with all government agencies responsible for the project at the highest level," said Brig. "The guidelines emanating from here much faster at all levels of government, facilitating the project as a whole," concluded Crepaldi.

The Defense Ministry statement said that the meeting of the committee the possibility that the contract with Sweden also contemplates, in the technology transfer package, a study on the feasibility of the Gripen NG for naval use is also discussed, as aircraft game board. Admiral Carlos Frederico Carneiro Primo, head of the Department of Aeronautics of the Navy, said the idea is that this study is included as offset (normal trade compensation in major international agreements import) the contract and, if feasible, may represent an important "logistical triumph" for Brazil. "If I buy a plane and use this model in another force, won in the life cycle, maintenance and operation of the aircraft, reinforcing the issues of interoperability, ie the ability of the three forces to interact" . Saab revealed the Sea Gripen project since 2010, reinforcing structures and landing gear, among other items, while looking for a launch customer.
