Leonardo is one of Europe's top defense and aerospace contractors, with leading positions in military helicopters (AgustaWestland), defense electronics, torpedoes, and cybersecurity. The company is a key participant in pan-European defense programs including the Eurofighter, GCAP sixth-generation fighter, and European drone initiatives. As Europe accelerates defense spending and seeks to consolidate its fragmented industrial base, Leonardo is an indispensable pillar of the continent's ability to design, build, and maintain sovereign military capability.
