MICROSATELLITE LAUNCH VEHICLE (VLM-1)

The VLM-1 is a vehicle for launching small satellites and its development is oriented toward low development and production costs.

The VLM-1 is a development project for a vehicle designed to launch microsatellites into low equatorial orbits (LEO) or reentry orbits, with three stages. The three propulsive systems of the VLM-1 are solid propellant, with the first two stages equipped with the S50 propulsor, with 12 tons of propellant each, and an orbiting stage equipped with the S44 propulsor, with approximately 800 kg of propellant.

Benefits
  • Low development and production costs;
  • Possibility of international commercialization of launch services;
  • Flexibility for on-demand launches in shorter time frames;
  • The S50 motor uses composite material that presents advantages, both in performance and manufacturing.
Applications
  • The VLM is optimized to launch small satellites;
  • Launch of special payloads or microsatellites into equatorial orbits at 300 km altitude;
  • Support for low-cost educational and university missions;
  • Testing of new space technologies in a microgravity environment.

AERONAUTICAL ENGINES

Aeronautical engines are strategic elements for the national aerospace industry, ensuring independence and strengthening the Defense Industrial Base.

In Brazil, the production and development of these engines are strategic priorities, requiring high technology to ensure performance, safety, and efficiency. The country has advanced in design, manufacturing, testing, and maintenance capabilities, with emphasis on the TR5000 engine, developed by IAE in partnership with Aero Concepts (EED), consolidating Brazil as a relevant player in the global aviation market.

Benefits
  • The TR5000 is a 100% national jet turbine with 5kN of thrust;
  • IAE has the necessary infrastructure for testing and developing these engines;
  • Guarantee of high safety and performance standards for aerial vehicles.
Applications
  • Long-Range Cruise Missile;
  • Unmanned Aircraft;
  • The TR-5000 could be used as a commercially viable alternative in the power generation sector.

AIRCRAFT PROJECTS

As a prime contractor, ALADA integrates partner companies in all phases of the project, from conception to commercialization.

ALADA will manage aircraft projects through a structured process architecture, covering everything from initial demand analysis to results evaluation. As a prime contractor, the company will coordinate a complete cycle that includes requirements verification, feasibility analysis, negotiation with partners, contract formalization, and rigorous management of all implementation phases. This process will ensure the delivery of aircraft that meet technical and market specifications.

Benefits
  • Decision-making process based on rigorous feasibility and requirements analyses;
  • Efficient management of physical-financial schedule (PFS) and project scope;
  • Preventive mitigation of contractual and operational risks;
  • Continuous evaluation of performance indicators and added value;
  • Knowledge capitalization through lessons learned management.
Applications
  • Medium and large aircraft projects for passenger transportation;
  • Development of military aircraft with strategic defense requirements;
  • Special aircraft for governmental and scientific missions;
