Israel’s RAFAEL Advanced Defense Systems announced Thursday that it signed an agreement with Brazilian firm ALLTEC to provide passive add-on armor solutions to the Brazilian military.

“Earlier this month, Brazil's ALLTEC Composite Material and Israel's Rafael Advanced Defense Systems signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for cooperation on passive add-on armor solutions, their maintenance and lifecycle support,” the company tweeted.
