Xmobots, the Navy, and Petrobras seal a R$ 50 million partnership.

Xmobots, a Confrapar portfolio company and leader in aerial robotics in Latin America, has just achieved a historic milestone for the Brazilian technology industry. Through a strategic partnership involving the Brazilian Navy and Petrobras, an investment of R$ 50 million was announced for the development of high-performance drones and monitoring solutions for the “Blue Amazon” (Brazil’s central region).

For us at Confrapar, this move is the definitive validation of our investment thesis. When we identified Xmobots’ potential, we knew that the autonomous technology developed domestically had the capacity to meet the most rigorous global standards, both in the energy sector and in national defense.

Synergy between Defense and Energy

The project focuses on the development of Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPAs) capable of operating in challenging maritime environments. The partnership unites two strategic pillars for Brazil:

Petrobras: Seeks efficiency and maximum safety in monitoring platforms and assets offshore.

Brazilian Navy: Strengthening the sovereignty and surveillance of our territorial waters with cutting-edge technology.

Confrapar’s Role as a Catalyst

Since the initial investment, Confrapar has acted as a strategic partner of Xmobots, supporting its governance and market expansion. Seeing the company lead a consortium of this magnitude with giants like Petrobras and the Navy reinforces our commitment to boosting companies that solve complex problems through innovation.

“This R$ 50 million contract is not just a technology sale, it’s a seal of confidence in Brazilian engineering. Xmobots is redesigning the limits of aerial autonomy, and Confrapar is proud to be part of this journey since the first flights,” says the Confrapar management team.

The Future of Deep Tech in Brazil

The Aerospace & Defense sector is one of the most powerful innovation engines in the world. With this new investment in technology and capital, Xmobots is positioning itself not only as a hardware manufacturer, but as a data intelligence platform essential for the country’s critical infrastructure.
