The '''Stella Tecnologia Atobá XR''' is an [[unmanned aerial vehicle]] capable of [[remotely controlled]] or [[autonomous flight]] operations, developed by the Brazilian company [[Stella Tecnologia]] primarily for the [[Brazilian Armed Forces]].
'''''Tonelero'' (S42)''' is the third unit of [[Riachuelo-class submarine|''Riachuelo''-class submarine]] built for the [[Brazilian Navy]] by [[Itaguaí Construções Navais|ICN]] in [[Itaguaí]], and [[DCNS (company)|DCNS]].


==Development==
The Brazilian boats are larger in length, tonnage and cargo capacity compared to the original French project. The Brazilian version are {{cvt|70.62|m|ftin}} and 1,900 tons, compared to the original Scorpènes that are {{cvt|61.7|m|ftin}} and 1,565 tons.<ref name="naval">{{cite web|url=https://www.naval.com.br/blog/2018/12/07/diferencas-entre-o-submarino-scorpene-e-o-s-br-brasileiro |title=Diferenças entre o submarino Scorpène e o S-BR brasileiro |date=7 December 2018 |website=Poder Naval |access-date=5 December 2020|language=pt}}</ref>
===Origins===


== Program history ==
In 2008, Brazil purchased four enlarged Scorpènes for [[USD]] 10 billion with a total technology transfer agreement and a second agreement to develop the first Brazilian nuclear-powered submarine, {{ship|Brazilian submarine|Álvaro Alberto||2}}. The hull of ''Riachuelo'' was laid down at [[Cherbourg]], France on 27 May 2010 and it was jumboized at the Brazilian Navy Shipyard in [[Itaguaí]] in late 2012.<ref name="defpro"/>


===Operation===
The first submarine ''Riachuelo'' was [[Ceremonial ship launching|launched]] on 14 December 2018, and began [[sea trial]]s in September 2019,<ref>{{cite news |title=Submarino ''Riachuelo'' inicia provas de mar|url=https://www.naval.com.br/blog/2019/09/25/submarino-riachuelo-inicia-provas-de-mar/|publisher=Poder Naval|language=pt|date=25 September 2019}}</ref> the ''Humaitá'' was launched on 11 December 2020.<ref name="launch-humanita"/>


==Operational history==
==Namesake==
''Tonelero'' is the second boat of the Brazilian Navy to receive this name, in honor of a military operation, which took place during the [[Platine War]].<ref>{{cite news |title=NAVIOS DE GUERRA BRASILEIROS - 1822 - Hoje|url=http://www.naval.com.br/ngb/R/Let-R.htm|language=pt|access-date=8 December 2020}}</ref>


==Specifications==
