Lorenzo Mariani, CEO and GM of #Leonardo, stated: "Taking part in this programme – which is set to establish new standards in naval defence capabilities – confirms the Italian Navy’s confidence in Leonardo’s technologies, which are capable of meeting the need to operate in an integrated manner across different domains and in complex scenarios. Today more than ever, it is essential to rely on multi-domain systems. Leonardo’s continuous investments in this direction have enabled the development of digital and system architectures that integrate capabilities designed to ensure effective assessment of scenarios and speed in decision-making processes throughout the entire chain of command. With these two new-generation units, the Armed Force will be able to rely on naval platforms offering advanced operational performance and capable of addressing a broad spectrum of threats. The important result achieved with the signing of this contract is also further evidence of how Italy’s national defence industry, represented in this case by Leonardo and Fincantieri, can, by working in synergy, deliver innovative and strategic expertise, helping us move towards greater technological autonomy and contributing to the growth of Italy and Europe."
