The Brazilian market has lately been very demanding for a variety of unmanned aircraft systems, ranging through all sizes and targeting a wide variety of applications as well.
The Brazilian armed forces appear ahead of this trend, currently very interested in deploying a varied portfolio of unmanned systems for land, air and sea applications.
The agribusiness and the geo-monitoring markets have been other large demand generators, opening opportunities for a number of different new applications by the minute, thus creating new payload solution needs at the same pace.
Through the last decade, MEREGE has been closely working with top industry local players in Brazil for monitoring both the customer demand and the industry evolution, matching availability to requests, in order to reach a complete and deep understanding of the customer needs.
STELLA is the leader Brazilian company on the development of totally new UAV systems, fully produced using Brazilian technology. It is a key prioritized target for the Brazilian Armed Forces, hence a relevant opportunity for the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) and its strategic local companies (Brazilian Defense industry), promoting its development and strengthening knowledge to meet the needs of the Brazilian State.
STELLA has designated MEREGE as its partner at the composed international business solution, responsible for both Business Development and Commercial activities, plus the coordination of its related Legal & Regulatory resulting activities as well.
Fully able of delivering Brazilian technology based customized solutions to build unmanned aircraft for virtually any case of size or application, MEREGE and STELLA now figured it out for a flexible and profitable way to produce those Brazilian unmanned aircraft virtually anywhere, worldwide.
It basically consists on proposing an international approach through a joint-venture agreement between STELLAtecnologia and the international customer, in a way that it would benefit for the best taxes incentives available at the customer side and would leverage the maximized sales volume possible among the international markets involved in the operation.
MEREGE would also take care of the legal & regulatory advising perspective, structuring the legal aspects of the joint-venture companies and/or alternative legal entities necessary for each case or project, through its legal partner Böing-Gleich lawyers.
MEREGE &STELLA are working to create state-of-the-art, fully customized unmanned aircraft production solutions, around the globe.

Active since 2004, STELLA Tecnologia is a 100% Brazilian company dedicated to the development of unmanned aerial systems for employment in the defense sector. Its team is composed of professionals with wide knowledge in the defense industry, specifically unmanned aerial systems.
Stella has already flown its giant Atobá MALE UAV (picture above) and is discussing prospective sales to the Brazilian armed forces before progressing into full system certification. The Atobá is the largest UAV platform ever developed in the Southern hemisphere.
Stella wisely defines itself as being a “sensor-agnostic air platform developer”, so the type of sensor or its source being entirely at the discretion of the client organization.
Stella’s ambitions in this segment are even more impressive than the Atobá. These ambitions go far greater than what has been achieved with this initial model. A second slightly more compact fixed-wing UAV system, the Albatroz, is now being developed by Stella specifically for intelligence gathering operations from the Brazilian Navy’s Atlântico, a Multipurpose Helicopter Carrier. Atlântico features a long flight deck but has no catapults, a system that is made redundant by Albatroz’s inherent STOL flight characteristics.
Stella expects to very soon start developing the much larger model CONDOR to address the Brazilian Air Force long range UAV needs.
Stella prides itself for the speed and quality of their development team, and it is open to study requests for the development of new UAV and UCAV concepts from both clients and business partners around the world. Whatever the unmanned aircraft need it would be, MEREGE & Stella would bring you the perfect suitable solution.
Merege has been working closely with Stella Tecnologia to promote their products and services to potential clients and partners outside of the Brazilian Market.
MEREGE & STELLA have been developing the relationship with top decision makers at all involved stockholders, specially at the Brazilian Armed Forces, for keeping up all along the process evolution.
