The AW149 helicopter is Leonardo’s proposed platform for the UK’s New Medium Helicopter requirement. Following the aircraft’s popular appearances at last year’s Royal International Air Tattoo and Farnborough International Air Show, the AW149 has been travelling across the UK to showcase its military capabilities and highlight the potential value that the production of the aircraft at Leonardo in Yeovil – the ‘Home of British Helicopters’ – will have on jobs and skills across the UK.
Leonardo UK is inviting UK-based Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs), start-ups and academia to participate in the Combat Air AI Challenge to harness disruptive technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), for the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP): the mission to build the next generation combat air platform for the UK, Italy and Japan by 2035.

Military conflicts over the past decade have seen changing operational theatres and threat environments facing armed forces. From agile insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan to the artillery-heavy warfare in Ukraine, each scenario presents different challenges for air superiority and survivability that technology and service personnel have had to rapidly adapt to. In this article, we look at how Leonardo is working with the UK Ministry of Defence and international allies to stay ahead of the threats.
In a Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief (HADR) mission, time is of the essence – whether that’s a rapid reaction to rescue people, gaining situational awareness through reconnaissance/establishing communications or through the delivery of vital first supplies, like water. In this article we look at the role of the Royal Navy AW159 Wildcat HMA Mk2, regularly forward deployed and first on the scene when it comes to HADR missions worldwide.
The Leonardo ‘brain-to-brain’ initiative sees experienced engineers approaching retirement spend some of their final year in employment passing their hard-earned know-how on to the company’s younger staff. Find out how this initiative is supporting programmes such as the new Tempest combat jet for the Royal Air Force (RAF).
