The Department of Airspace Control (DECEA) has also thirteen subordinate units, also called DECEA´s military organizations that act directly on the deployment and maintenance of systems and resources and on the implementation of operational activities. They are the implementing bodies that execute the goals established by the central body.

Thus, the task of providing a safe and efficient flight to domestic and foreign aircraft across the Brazilian airspace involves several specialized organs, ensuring the monitoring of air space under our jurisdiction.
