U.S. agreed to transfer the F-18 Super Hornet fighter jets' technology to Brazil if the Brazilian government chooses to purchase U.S. jets.

Brazil is looking to modernize its air force and replace its current Mirage 2000, F-5M and A-1M fleet — though another priority is to achieve technology transfer and have some plane components produced at home.

"For us, the purchase of this fighter plane has a sacred component for Brazil: technology transfer, and the possibility to produce some of this plane in Brazil," he said in comments translated from Portuguese into French. A network spokesman said the interview was recorded Thursday.

In Brazil, where a decision as to the winning platform is expected over the coming weeks, the Gripen is believed to be better placed. Having already been down-selected by the Brazilians in September 2008, the Gripen NG is up against the F/A-18E/F and the Rafale. France has offered Brasilia desired technology transfer in an effort to sweeten its bid, while Boeing is believed to have offered Brazil F/A-18 component production work should it win.
