Uncrewed systems for air, land and sea applications across both civil and military sectors, used in Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) missions and for threat simulation training. Modular, flexible solutions that integrate platforms, radar and electro-optical sensors, mission systems and ground control stations. Technologies to manage uncrewed traffic safely and to protect airports and critical infrastructure from malicious or accidental incursions of remotely piloted aircraft systems.
Leonardo collaborates with leading international programmes in this sector, such as Eurodrone and Skydweller, and supports several government missions, including MONUSCO and FRONTEX, with patrol operations.

Eurodrone
Remotely piloted aircraft for medium-altitude and long-range operations, developed as part of a four-nation programme involving France, Germany, Italy and Spain. The twin-turboprop Eurodrone is the first uncrewed system designed to fly in non-segregated airspace for military and civil missions, with strategic capabilities and advanced performance. Its features include mission modularity for operational superiority in Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) missions.
Skydweller
Leonardo is a technology partner of the Skydweller project, the first solar-powered drone capable of carrying large payloads with unlimited persistence in flight. Designed to fly at a maximum altitude of 14,000 metres (45,000 ft) and at a cruising speed of 25-50 knots, it can be deployed for land and sea surveillance, environmental and infrastructure monitoring, geo-information services, telecommunications and precision navigation.
AWHERO is the leading 200 kg class rotary UAS leveraging on Leonardo’s strength and extensive experience in rotorcraft development and system integration.
It is capable of providing operational superiority in complex roles and tasks ensuring maximum mission availability and effectiveness.
AWHERO is also at the forefront of Crewed-Uncrewed Teaming, channeling Leonardo expertise in rotorcraft and uncrewed systems. When operating alongside Leonardo’s helicopters, it significantly enhances mission’s operational efficiency and effects during land, littoral and blue-water operations.
Leonardo has a consolidated and long term experience in Command and Control systems providing comprehensive and scalable solutions for air, land and naval operations, integrating both manned and uncrewed assets and offering Command Authorities real time information and situational awareness to facilitate decisive response and reaction.
To address the threat of low, slow and small uncrewed 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 radio frequency effector technology.
CREX- B is a very affordable micro UAS specifically designed for Special Operational and Tactical Forces for "over the hill" and "around the corner" intelligence missions.
