The Northrop F-5 is a family of supersonic light fighters initially designed as a privately funded project in the late 1950s by the Northrop Corporation. There are two main models: the original F-5A and F-5B Freedom Fighter variants, and the extensively updated F-5E and F-5F Tiger II variants. The design team created a small, highly aerodynamic fighter around two compact, high-thrust General Electric J85 engines, focusing on performance and low maintenance costs.

The F5BR (F5M) is a modernized Brazilian version of the F-5 Tiger II fighter jet used by the Brazilian Air Force. The F5BR project (later renamed F5M) was carried out by Embraer at its Gavião Peixoto facility in the city of the same name, in the interior of the state of São Paulo, and by AEL Sistemas, a subsidiary of the Israeli company Elbit, at the request of the FAB in 2000 and cost US$285 million. The merger of these two companies created Harpia, which in 2011 was integrated into Embraer's new unit, Embraer Defense and Security. The project consisted of the application of state-of-the-art avionics, updating navigation, weapons, and self-defense systems, including the latest electronic countermeasures equipment. The modernization of these fighters was an alternative to the Brazilian government's original Project FX, aiming to achieve an effective air defense system for Brazilian air security.
