Defense Systems
Ordnance, Ammunition and Position, Navigation & Timing on Land and at Sea
Armed forces require a diversified approach to combating increasingly complex threats worldwide. Leonardo’s land and naval defense systems, based on advanced technologies and engineering, support these operations and enable a rapid, accurate response to multi-domain threats. High precision-guided or unguided programmable munitions can detect, classify and engage targets across the entire threat spectrum.
Our defense solutions for land include the versatile VULCANO family of ammunition, HITFACT 120 mm/105 mm vehicular turrets, and the Laser Inertial Navigation Artillery Pointing System (LINAPS) — a self-contained, gun-mounted navigation and artillery survey. For airborne systems, we offer the Falcon Shield. Our naval defense systems include a wide range of torpedoes and torpedo countermeasures, unmanned underwater systems, and sonar solutions.
Ordnance and Ammunition
Armored Vehicle Turrets
HITFACT MkII 105-120 mm is a combat-proven Low Recoil Force Larger Caliber Turret for light wheeled vehicles and medium tanks, with more than 500 units in service with International Armed Forces
VULCANO Long Range Land and Naval Ammunition
VULCANO is a family of guided and unguided ammunition, available for 76 mm and 127 mm naval guns and 155 mm land artillery systems.
Naval Turrets
LIONFISH Naval Turrets Family
LIONFISH is the new family of small caliber naval turrets. Their light weight, compact dimensions, and safe-usage make them the best choice for installation on small ships or as secondary armament on larger ships.
OTO 127/64 LW
The OTO 127/64 LW - VULCANO is a state-of-the-art medium caliber gun suitable for installation on large and medium size ships and intended for surface fire and naval gunfire support as main role and anti-aircraft fire as secondary role. The compactness of the gun feeding system makes installation possible on narrow section vessels.
OTO 76/62 SR
The OTO 76/62 Super Rapid (SR) Gun Mount is a light weight, rapid-fire naval gun providing unrivaled performance and flexibility in any air defense and antisurface role, particularly in anti-missile role.
Field Artillery Position, Navigation & Timing
LINAPS
LINAPS Artillery Pointing System is a self-contained, gun-mounted navigation, artillery survey, and weapon-management system for all Artillery and Mortar platforms. It is currently in service in the UK, Canada, UAE, Oman, South Africa, Malaysia, and Thailand.
Counter - small UAS (C-sUAS) Systems
Falcon Shield
To address the threat of low, slow, and small unmanned air systems, undetectable by conventional air surveillance equipment, we have developed innovative, flexible, scalable, and configurable systems based on our range of high-performance electro-optical sensors and advanced radiofrequency effector technology.
