Leonardo is a global high-tech player in the Aerospace, Defence and Security sectors. The Company, with headquarters in Italy, has about 45,600 employees and is present with 180 sites across the globe. Leonardo has a consolidated industrial presence in four main markets (Italy, the United Kingdom, the United States and Poland) and an important network of strategic partnerships in the main high potential markets worldwide. The Company, resulting from the incorporation in 2016 of OTO Melara and WASS into Leonardo-Finmeccanica and the absorption of the activities carried out by AgustaWestland, Alenia Aermacchi and Selex ES,​ now operates through seven Divisions (Helicopters, Aircraft, Aerostructures, Airborne & Space Systems, Land & Naval Defence Electronics, Defence Systems, Security & Information
Systems) and the following subsidiaries and joint ventures: Leonardo DRS (defence products, services and integrated
support), Telespazio and Thales Alenia Space (satellite services and space manufacture), and MBDA (missile systems).
Each year, Leonardo invests 11% of its revenues in Research and Development. The Security & Information Systems Division’s offer includes VTMS (Vessel Traffic Management Systems) for vessel traffic control and management, marine monitoring and support to rescue operations.
