Maintaining platform and equipment availability for military operations is more critical than ever in an increasingly destabilised and changing world. Leonardo Campaign Manager, Dion Martin, considers how successful Integrated Operational Support (IOS) results in improved aircraft availability for Front Line Commands, as well as how closer collaboration between the military and industry can deliver next generation IOS in light of more complex and growing demands on UK and allied armed forces.
The healthy representation of women in STEM and data science is not just a matter of ensuring gender diversity; it’s an economic, scientific and ethical imperative, says Leonardo’s Lila Rose who is the Lead Data Scientist in the company’s UK Cyber & Security Solutions business.
The first cohorts of the joint Leonardo and Royal Air Force (RAF) Ethnicity Minority Network mentoring scheme, Ascend, have successfully completed the six-month programme.
As part of the UK Ministry of Defence Rotary Wing Uncrewed Air System (RWUAS) Technology Demonstrator Programme (TDP) known as ‘PROTEUS’, a cutting-edge, c3t multi-role design is being developed at Leonardo in Yeovil. Leonardo is adopting new technologies including the development of a full digital twin and additive manufacturing techniques to consolidate capability, performance, cost, sustainability and serviceability. The programme is one of the many that highlight the future skills inputting into the pioneering technology being developed in the South West of England – at the UK’s only onshore helicopter manufacturer. We spoke to two of the trainees getting the opportunity to kickstart their engineering career at the Home of British Helicopters.
Leonardo is proud to have become a Friend of the Lincoln City Foundation, and will focus its support on the development of girls football skills for the year ahead.
A year on from the space launch of Southampton-built technology for the NASA PACE programme, scientists are gaining fascinating new insights into the behaviour of global populations of phytoplankton, which are responsible for generating the oxygen for one of every two breaths we take.
Leonardo is pleased to announce we are among the winners of the annual Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Awards for the first time, a list of the Best Places to Work in 2025. Unlike other workplace awards, there is no self-nomination or application process. Instead, it’s entirely based on the feedback our employees have voluntarily and anonymously shared on Glassdoor. No self-nominations. No surveys. No pay-to-play. Just reviews.
Leonardo, the Royal Navy and the UK Ministry of Defence’s Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) Future Capability Innovation (FCI) team have unveiled the design of the Proteus technology demonstrator aircraft. The circa three-tonne uncrewed rotorcraft will be used to demonstrate advances in autonomy and payload modularity and interchangeability, whilst developing cutting-edge new rotorcraft technologies including design and manufacturing techniques.
Leonardo, 2Excel and the Ministry of Defence have announced that the Flight Test Aircraft (FTA) ‘Excalibur’ has successfully completed its first phase of modification and flight testing. The milestone saw Excalibur, now equipped with new side and belly pods, assessed for stability during flight. The aircraft will now undergo further engineering work at Qinetiq’s Boscombe Down facility in Wiltshire.
Leonardo’s platform protection system has been chosen to protect an Airbus A330 designated for VIP transport by a government customer. The system will be installed by Jet Aviation during VIP completion of the aircraft at its MRO and completion facility. The combination of Miysis DIRCM and MAIR enables the detection, tracking and defeat of multiple incoming missile threats simultaneously. This provides an aircraft with a greater freedom of operation and, with Miysis DIRCM seeing a 100% success rate against all targets in live trials, the peace of mind that it can defend against both modern and legacy infrared missiles.
