South American Armies are allocating funds for maintaining, acquiring and enhancing equipment capabilities, including command control and intelligence functions.

Following European and U.S. examples, most Armies have fallen in strength anywhere from 10 to 40% in the past decade focusing on more flexible and deployable forces. It is no secret that major capabilities will need replacing over the next six to eight years, as they become obsolete.

For Land Forces, the immediate future presents a number of possible choices in terms of size, equipment and maintenance for regional security operations, including a possible requirement for enhanced amphibious capabilities that will most definitively include highly deployable light and medium Army units.

Current procurement and research studies suggest that the type of equipment to be purchased by the South American Armies, in the next few years, are going to be those weapon systems that provide significant increase in protection, firepower and mobility.

They are formed around highly deployable battalion size units, and in conditions to effectively fight in any urban terrain within 40 to 50 miles from the coast.

CHILE COMPANY is well aware of almost every high priority program and medium term projected procurement operation within the Latin American Armed Forces.

Due to our permanent contact with the end users, we are monitoring the training, research, development and overall procurement process, hence providing timely information to potential suppliers and contractors worldwide.

At CHILE COMPANY we are driven to deliver results and a level of value that far exceeds what our clients invest in our services.

We understand Business Intelligence Information as the multifaceted process of gatherig, analyzing, processing and interpreting information carefully gatherd gleaned from unit commanders, Chiefs of Staff, Ministry of Defense Officials, suppliers and competitors.

We then mold it into presentable, easy to understand knowledge, that lets companies harness it to shape strategic decisions aimed to find profitable growth.

However, CHILE COMPANY acknowledges that the interaction of dramatic changes in the business world, new security threats for the Armed Forces and heavy limitations on procurement, affect the way companies and customers now define their procurement concepts and strategies when faced with the complex Latin American Defense budget and expenditure process

The ability of larger companies to obtain more critical information much faster has changed the timing and choices available in their decision-making processes.

Most importantly, new and smaller companies are rushing to exploit the Internet as a new way of doing business, since intangible resources like brands, customer relationships, employee knowledge and intellectual property often exceed the value of more traditional resources such as raw materials, factories and even capital.

Recent technological advances in telecommunication, Internet access and information made critical data cheaper and more widely available to everyone. As a result, Army Commanders, government officials, competitors and unexpected challengers are able to respond more quickly to company mistakes or shifting strategies, basically by selecting new suppliers or by offering new services.

In response to these and other pressures in the new economy, such as lack of instantly available business intelligence when faced with information gaps, CHILE COMPANY can rapidly redefine your company's approach and strategies in one or several different Latin American countries through a continuous process of market monitoring and a highly active net of international agents.

If your business is to provide armament systems and military equipment to one or more countries in Latin America and you are looking for a way to dramatically increase sales and purchase orders, it might be a good idea to contact us.
