A new Mexican Navy for the XXI Century.

The Mexican Naval Aviation is under its most aggressive modernization process of the last 20 years.

The US$1.11 billion plan includes the acquisition of a new Caribe class OPV with capacity for 2 new Panther helicopters, modernized AEW&ISR Hawkeye aircrafts, modified Mi-24 Helicopters for Amphibious Transport&Attack Support, and the latest generation of Mi-17 with BAE systems ISR technology.

For the second phase of this program the Naval Aviation will acquire new Light Attack Fighter aircrafts.

If your company is being told that defense spending and procurement operations of Naval equipment in this region is almost nonexistent, or in a dramatic decline, you might want to get a second opinion.

The much improved relation between Chile and Argentina, is reflected by Argentina sending one of its type 42 destroyers to a Chilean shipyard for conversion, to carry Sea King helicopters.

Argentina is now resurrecting its own frigate building program and has been very active in the second hand market.

It recently acquired a fleet replenishment ship from France, now the new A.R.A. Patagonia, and a couple of patrol craft "Guardian 22" class.

One of its submarines is being refitted in Brazil, and MK-48 submarine launched torpedoes are being acquired to replace the obsolete MK-37.

Embarked Sea King helicopters are being fitted with Exocet missiles, and chartered merchant ships are also being used for military purposes.

The Chilean submarine force has already 2 "Scorpene" class submarines building in France and Spain by DNC & BAZAN Industries.

This was executed in order to replace the two "Oberon" class submarines, and the Navy is developing a large shipbuilding infrastructure to support commercial activities throughout the region.

The Brazilian Navy has restarted its nuclear-submarine program, spending over US$70M on uranium enriching facilities, a research unit and a prototype nuclear powered submarine (SSN).

The Navy now has 4 "Tupy" class German designed diesel submarines in service, and decided to start a project with the first completely Brazilian designed and built diesel submarine.

This submarine was planned to be in service in 2008. In this field, Brazil is the regional leader.

Should the Brazilian Navy carry through its SSN program, it would become one of only six navies able to deploy submarines worldwide.

Being able to predict customer purchasing-behavior is a core business strategy, for companies that effectively apply the use of business intelligence information.

Determining what products and services the Latin American Navies will want in the future, is the most significant element contributing to the success or failure of a business.

CHILE COMPANY understands that leading companies are primed to make the right decisions because they are armed with the appropriate business intelligence today, and not with gossip.

At CHILE COMPANYwe accrue that knowledge by continually monitoring (on the scene) the internal and external environment in which the Latin American navies operate, in order to acquire a deeper understanding of their needs, views and perceptions of international suppliers.

Prediction of purchasing behavior is a difficult area, since so many variables contribute to a customer's decision when making a purchase, or select a supplier.

The needs and equipment requirements are in a constant state of change.

There is no one simple and consistently accurate method of predicting customer's purchasing behavior, except to maintain a permanent monitoring service tasked with the collection, analysis and immediate dissemination of important forecasting information.

At CHILE COMPANY, we believe that the companies that get ahead in the Defense Business and stay ahead as industry leaders and innovators, are the ones that carefully monitor the changing expectations of their customers and the marketplace.

Accordingly, CHILE COMPANY is a company that gather information from every internal (in country) naval and government source we can find, sharing timely and well processed data across functional lines through common sense and well designed accessible communication system.

We search the Latin American navies database for reliable clues as to the direction of future wants and needs, carefully analyzing the content of direct customer feedback.

Most of our work is performed directly for CEO's or senior corporate executives and tend to focus on the areas of: growth, leadership, strategy and other confidential projects.

Don't you wish you had a long-term strategy to get accurate Business Intelligence Information?

Naval programs are too important to be guess-work. Get the truth.
