Israeli companies continue to expand their HLS activities in Latin America. Recently police in Brazil acquired Israeli-made armored vehicles.

Israeli company Plasan won a 9.5 million dollar contract and will provide the Sao Paolo special police units with specially-made armored vehicles. According to the contract Plasan will design and develop six 4X4 vehicles seating 24 troops, capable of crossing and maneuvering in any terrain. The vehicles include advance defense systems in addition to surveillance, navigation and driving systems. Plasan will deliver the new vehicles during 2014.

The armored vehicles include NBC solutions, internal fire retardant systems, night vision and power management. They feature a hydraulic back door for easy access while the side doors come with a door assist system. A hydraulic system for breaching and road clearing is located in the front.

In addition to the Sao Paolo special police forces Plasan will also provide the Sao Paolo federal police with armored vehicles aimed at fighting organized crime, as part of a consortium with other local companies. These additional armored vehicles are disguised as ordinary commercial vehicles, and include command and control, surveillance and communication systems.
