The company's offer for the Middle East includes advanced guided ammunition for land and naval applications, as seen with the Vulcano family of guided ammunition. Leonardo's long history in combat proven naval systems along with its understanding of the UAE Navy's needs are the foundations of the offer submitted by Leonardo to Tawazun. Leonardo aims to collaborate with Emirati industries in the designing and manufacturing of the future national Combat Management System, the heart of the future naval strength of the UAE. Today, the UAE Navy has more than 20 Combat Management Systems provided by Leonardo and a large number of naval guns, including the well-known OTO 76/62 mm and other smaller calibre, which equip vessels including the Ghannatha, Baynunah, Falaj 2 and Abu Dhabi-class corvettes. Within the naval field, Leonardo also provides the AW149, AW159, AW101 and NH90 helicopters which can be equipped with company's advanced sensors like acoustic anti-submarine warfare system, AESA radar such as the Osprey 30 and the Miysis directed infrared countermeasure, able to protect air platforms for the most sophisticated threats. Â
The Middle East's Air Forces are increasing their capacity with mixed aircraft fleets, including different fighter models, and this is why Leonardo is continuing to promote its pilot training capabilities. This includes the M-346 advanced training aircraft, which is also available in the Fighter Attack version; the new basic-advanced M-345, recently delivered to the Italian Air Force and training services which will be provided by the International Flight Training School (IFTS), a collaboration between Leonardo and the Italian Air Force.Â
