Leonardo has won a competition to provide its expertise in data science, data engineering, and data visualisation to the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) as part of its Cyber Mission Data (CMD) programme.

  At the DSEI 2019 exhibition that took place this week in London, Leonardo announced that it has sold over 600 units of its Type 163 Laser Target Designator (LTD) to 16 customers including Italy, the US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Latvia and the Netherlands.

At the DSEI 2019 exhibition, Leonardo announced that it has been selected by the UK’s Royal Air Force (RAF) to support the next stage of their research and development programme. The study will explore the current threat posed by hostile drones and how this is likely to evolve in future, as well as evaluating a range of technologies that could form a future RAF counter-drone capability.
