Leonardo is proud of our strategic collaboration with Textron Aviation Defense as together we pursue the #USN and #USMC T-45 replacement program (#UJTS) and present the #M346N. The M-346N Integrated Training System (#ITS) is born to forge the next generation of naval aviators. 📍 Visit Textron booth 1827 during the Navy League of the United States' #SAS2025 Conference and Exposition at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center – National Harbor, Maryland, to experience the M-346 Smart Chair sim, Maintenance VR Goggles, and discover more about the low risk, no drama option for UJTS — the M-346N.

#MFT2025 has officially come to an end in Sardinia, Italy, providing an outstanding opportunity to showcase our latest advancements in training and simulation. During the event, we were proud to unveil the enhanced #M346 Block20 cockpit, featuring a cutting-edge Human-Machine Interface (#HMI) with a Large Area Display, designed to replicate the operational environment of next-generation combat aircraft. Throughout the conference sessions, we highlighted the critical role of synergy and information sharing among air forces, operators, and industry. Our discussions focused on how a building-block approach enables the seamless integration of emerging technologies into state-of-the-art training systems—ensuring that student pilots, instructors, and maintainers stay at the forefront of innovation and decision-making. Additionally, we led insightful discussions on the integration of Live, Virtual, and Constructive (#LVC) training, adaptive learning, and multi-domain operations. These advancements enhance operational effectiveness and safety, enable multi-asset cooperative training for realistic mission scenarios, and facilitate a smooth transition to next-generation air dominance. We were honoured to welcome distinguished delegations at our stand, where they had the opportunity to experience the latest-generation M-346 Block 20 cockpit featuring a Large Area Display. A heartfelt thank you to our valued customers for their continued trust and support, as we remain committed to shaping the future of training and operational readiness.

🗓️ Day 3 at #MFT2025   On the final day of Military Flight Training 2025, which took place in Italy, Leonardo reaffirmed its commitment to advanced training through cutting-edge technologies. During a high-level panel session, General (Ret.) Settimo Caputo, Senior Advisor to #LeonardoAircraft, led a discussion on the integration of Live, Virtual, and Constructive (#LVC) #training, adaptive learning, and multi-domain operations. The #M346, a cornerstone of Leonardo’s LVC ecosystem, exemplifies this approach delivering realistic, scalable, and mission-ready training across #air, #land, #sea, #cyber, and #Space domains. By combining LVC synergy, adaptive training pathways, and immersive multi-domain scenarios, #Leonardo is reshaping how aircrews are also prepared for the evolving challenges of #ElectronicWarfare.

🗓️ Day 2 at #MFT2025 Following yesterday’s unveiling ceremony of the #M346 Block20 cockpit layout, discussions at Military Flight Training 2025, taking place in Italy, are now focusing on the future of training excellence. Tommaso Pani (Tommaso P.), SVP Marketing & Strategic Campaigns, highlighted the crucial role of synergy and information sharing between air forces/operators and industry, an invaluable enabler of training excellence. Giuseppe Pietroniro, VP Simulation & Training Systems, detailed how a building-block approach seamlessly integrates emerging technologies into state-of-the-art #training devices— while keeping student pilots, instructors, and maintainers at the heart of innovation and the decision making.

Unveiled at #MFT2025: Leonardo’s enhanced #M346 Block 20 cockpit sets a new standard in pilot training.   Featuring the Large Area Display, the new Human-Machine Interface (#HMI) mirrors the look and feel of next-gen fighters—boosting situational awareness, reducing workload, and accelerating the path to operational readiness.   Built for adaptive training and fully compatible with #LVC (Live, Virtual, Constructive) scenarios, it delivers a next-level immersive experience tailored to mission complexity and pilot skills.   The M-346 Block 20 cockpit integration and production deliveries are expected by mid-2027 and late 2028, respectively.

At Military Flight Training 2025, taking place in Italy from 31 March to 2 April, Leonardo unveiled the enhanced #M346 Block 20 cockpit—featuring an advanced Human-Machine Interface (#HMI) with a Large Area Display designed to replicate the operational environment of next-generation combat aircraft.   This cockpit significantly enhances pilot situational awareness, reduces cognitive workload, and supports an intuitive, high-fidelity training experience, ensuring a seamless transition to front-line platforms.   A state-of-the-art #trainer that, in its operational configuration, is equipped with an #AESA radar featuring fire control capability and extended detection range, integrated precision-guided munitions, and a tactical datalink, delivering full mission flexibility across both air-to-air and air-to-ground roles.   The M-346 Block 20 cockpit will be integrated into a prototype by mid-2027, with the first #aircraft delivery by the end of 2028. #MFT2025

Happy 102nd anniversary, #AeronauticaMilitare!   On this special day, we look to the sky through your eyes, a unique perspective where every flight is an extraordinary mission.   Thank you for ensuring our safety, with courage every day.    Aeronautica Militare

Happy Birthday, #Leonardo! 77 years together. Innovating the future together.

The Board of Directors of Leonardo, meeting today under the chairmanship of Stefano Pontecorvo, has approved the new organizational structure of #Leonardo, which includes the establishment of two Deputy General Managements.   These Deputy General Managements are respectively dedicated to commercial development and business program coordination, led by Carlo Gualdaroni, and to Strategy, Innovation, and Strategic Alliances, led by Simone Ungaro. The Corporate Bodies & Institutional Affairs Unit is also established, under the leadership of Filippo Maria Grasso, who will be responsible for the integrated management of the Corporate Bodies of Leonardo S.p.A. and for national and international institutional relations.   This new structure replaces the previous one, which included a single Deputy General Management under the responsibility of Lorenzo Mariani, who will take on a new apical role within the Group.   The new organization aims to ensure operational acceleration in line with the evolution of the Industrial Plan launched in March 2025, and a capital allocation policy that is consistent with Leonardo’s long-term development.   Specifically, the company needs to accelerate both the achievement of results related to organic growth, with an increase in the execution capacity of the order backlog, and the establishment of the business in the medium-to-long term (inorganic growth), through a stronger focus on strategic alliances, defining product strategies, and developing digital technologies.   https://lnkd.in/dcXYdYeJ   #LDO_PR
