(ANSA) - ROME, DECEMBER 09 - Leonardo is a strategic partner of the Gcap - Global Combat Air Program - for the creation of a new generation 'system of systems' for multi-domain operations, which will be operational from 2035. Leonardo communicates this in a note.


    "The programme, which involves Italy, the UK and Japan, represents a challenge aimed at protecting and strengthening national technological and industrial sovereignty, ensuring prosperity, safeguarding distinctive skills, returning to employment and competitiveness of the Aerospace, Defense and Security sector on international markets. The Gcap will involve the whole Italian supply chain starting from universities and research centers up to SMEs and the leading national industries involved.


   In particular, Italy, the UK and Japan - through their respective national industries, Leonardo, Bae Systems and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries - will collaborate in the development of technologies for the sixth generation aerial platform, from a system of systems perspective.

In addition to Leonardo - present in the program since 2018 with Leonardo UK - the Italian team will involve Avio Aero, Elettronica and Mbda Italia together with the country's entire innovative and productive ecosystem.


   "The governments' decision to strengthen collaboration with such a strategic program as the Global Combat Air Program - underlines Alessandro Profumo, Leonardo's CEO - is evidence of an effective and promising model of cooperation between the three countries. We are facing one of the most challenging programs and futuristic technologies for the aerospace and defense industry which will guarantee the technological autonomy of the countries involved and provide the Armed Forces with unprecedented operational capabilities and performance".
