On Aug/06/2010 the Brazilian Navy purchased 8 C-1A cells from de US government. These cells will be modernized and transformed into "Turbo-Traders". It is yet to be confirmed that 3 will be converted to the AEW role, 2 will keep the COD role, one will be fitted for in-flight refueling of the Brazilian Navy A-4s as well as COD, and two cells will be used as spare parts source. The aircrafts will operate with the carrier wing of Brazil's carrier Sao Paulo (former French Navy Foch) which is presently in sea trials after a 5 year modernization and maintenance period.
