The participants in the Eurofighter programme, managed by the consortium Eurofighter GmbH, are Leonardo, BAE Systems and Airbus Defence & Space. The procurement requirements of the air forces of the four partner nations – Italy, the United Kingdom, Germany and Spain – are managed by the NATO Eurofighter & Tornado Management Agency (NETMA).
The ATR 42MP is designed to carry out long-endurance maritime surveillance missions, and features an advanced mission system, sensors and a complete communication suite. The aircraft retains the reliability, maintainability, low lifecycle cost and comfort features of the ATR 42 regional turboprop aircraft on which it is based.
The ATR 72MP is a twin-turboprop aircraft optimised for even the most complex maritime patrol missions. The aircraft retains the reliability, maintainability, low lifecycle cost and comfort features of the ATR 72-600 on which it is based, while also including a state-of-the-art mission system, advanced sensors and a complete communication suite.
The next generation Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS)
Eurodrone is a joint European programme to answer future UAS requirements.
It has been launched by Leonardo, Airbus D&S and Dassault Aviation as a joint industrial-government initiative. The programme is backed by the governments of France, Germany, Spain and Italy.
CREX- B is a very affordable micro UAS specifically designed for Special Operational and Tactical Forces for "over the hill" and "around the corner" intelligence missions.
The M-345 is an innovative jet aircraft designed for basic and advanced training of military pilots, both Italian and from other countries' air forces. Developed and built at Leonardo's Venegono (Varese, Italy) site, it is designated T-345A by the Italian Air Force, with the letter T emphasising its role as a trainer.
Together with the M-346, it is an integral part of an integrated training system that includes advanced simulators, ground training devices and LVC (Live, Virtual and Constructive) technology, which allows real-time interaction between pilots (students and instructors) in flight or on the ground, simulators and computer-generated forces, offering complex and realistic tactical scenarios – a capability now provided by the M-346.
The M-346 is a jet aircraft optimised for advanced military pilot training, offering a broad range of training capabilities combined with long-term reliability. At the heart of a complex and integrated training system, the M-346 is already in service with the air forces of Italy, Singapore, Israel, Poland, Qatar and Greece.
The M-346FA (Fighter Attack) is a ‘light combat’ version of the M-346 advanced trainer with multi-role capabilities including close air support missions, even in urban areas, battlespace air interdiction for national defence and tactical reconnaissance.
The fifth-generation F-35 Lightning II is one of the most sophisticated multi-role fighters giving pilots a decisive advantage against the adversary through a combination of stealth, advanced sensors, weapons capacity, and range. The F-35’s ability to collect, analyse and share data makes it a powerful force multiplier.
The Aircraft Division offers pilot and maintainer training courses that enable operators to use their aircraft in the most effective way, helping customers achieve and sustain operational capabilities. From initial training to increasing skills to achieving instructor ratings, training courses are an integral part of the product offered to its customers. The Division's courses can be held on company plants, taking advantage of the latest flight simulators and training aids, or directly at customer facilities.
HITFIST® is a family of small-calibre turrets for land defence. The crewed version is a two-person power operated turret incorporating the Iatest technologies in the fields of electronics, protection, signature and Man Machine Interface (MMI).
The new uncrewed version integrates the mechanically powered and ITAR-free Leonardo 30mm X-GUN. The turret is exceptionally compact, light, and effective against all types of asymmetric threats with its integration of air burst ammunition.
Leonardo has a consolidated and long term experience in Command and Control systems providing comprehensive and scalable solutions for air, land and naval operations, integrating both manned and uncrewed assets and offering Command Authorities real time information and situational awareness to facilitate decisive response and reaction.
AWHERO è il principale UAS rotativo della classe da 200 kg che sfrutta la forza e la vasta esperienza di Leonardo nello sviluppo di velivoli ad ala rotante e nell'integrazione di sistemi.
È in grado di fornire superiorità operativa in ruoli e compiti complessi garantendo la massima disponibilità ed efficacia della missione.
AWHERO è anche in prima linea nel Crewed-Uncrewed Teaming, convogliando l’esperienza di Leonardo nei velivoli ad ala rotante e nei sistemi senza equipaggio. Quando opera a fianco degli elicotteri di Leonardo, migliora significativamente l'efficienza operativa e gli effetti della missione durante le operazioni su terra, litorale e in acque profonde.
Leonardo, leveraging on its extensive experience in the implementation of Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems, is ready to deploy an Uncrewed Traffic Management (UTM) system, relying on new technologies and a high level of automation, to efficiently and safely manage the rapidly growing civil applications of Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAV).
Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are expected to take an increasing role in existing and future operations. Military and security forces need to prove and validate new roles and applications. For this emerging need, Airborne and Space Systems Division offers the UAV BattleLab (UAVBL), a cost effective solution for multiple requirements.
TRP-2 Combat is a small, light, tracked Uncrewed Ground Vehicle (UGV) platform for use in tactical situations where the human presence is not advisable.
