Leonardo highlighted its multi-domain safety and security solutions, including the Kronos family of multi-function radars, at DEFEA 2023 in Athens, Greece.
The company, which operates as a system integrator of multi-domain and interoperable capabilities, is confident that its products and capabilities can help ensure the progress and security of the Mediterranean area. At the event, the company presented its capabilities that allow a projection in all operational domains, including space and cybersecurity.
Among the products that the company showcased at the event is the Kronos family of multi-function radars, with over 40 examples in service all over the world – including Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and South America. The radars, which have land and naval variants as well as fixed and/or mobile versions, perform multiple functions simultaneously. The radars use the same sensor to perform different operational missions: from surveillance, to tracking, to the designation of aerial targets.
The most recent of the family, the Kronos Grand Mobile High Power, has been chosen for the NATO range based on the island of Crete: it will be delivered in 2024 and will serve as an integrated air and missile defence system, guaranteeing the Hellenic Air Force and allies high levels of aviation safety during training and testing of other systems.
The company also exhibited an AW139 helicopter of the Italian Coast Guard at the event. The AW139 is the most successful international multi-role helicopter programme since its certification in 2004. It has operators in several countries around the world and in the Mediterranean area.
Leonardo’s M-346 Master aircraft, for the advanced training of latest generation fighter pilots. was recently selected by Greece under a government agreement with Israel. The aircraft flew for the first time under Hellenic Air Force markings in early April and is on its way to the air base of Kalamata, home of the 120th Air Training Wing.
If selected for the Hellenic Navy’s corvette programme, Leonardo will play the role of systems integrator for the corvette’s Combat Management System (CMS) and key naval sensors, systems and artillery. The company has already signed a number of partnerships with potential Greek suppliers, laying the foundation for long-term business relationships within the Greek national industrial ecosystem.
Leonardo is a strategic partner of many international navies, with its systems aboard more than 1,000 units worldwide and, in many cases, comprising more than 40% of a ship’s components. Leonardo is currently one of the few companies with a complete offer for sea security, which includes Combat Management Systems (CMS), naval artillery, torpedo and missile systems (through MBDA, 25% owned) as well as sensors, communication systems mission and fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, crewed or remotely piloted, specifically designed for naval use.
