In what is believed to be a world first for industry, Leonardo engineers have created a fully automated end-to-end fighter jet radar array test facility at our Edinburgh site. The new facility is built on foundations dating back to the Second World War, when our Edinburgh was built to develop technology for the iconic spitfire as part of the UK's war effort.
As part of our celebration of Black History Month, Jainna Bhalla, Leonardo Project Management Degree Apprentice and Comms Lead & Secretary of our Ethnicity Inclusion network group, explains the importance of getting people’s names right, and the consequences of name discrimination.
11 October - On Ada Lovelace Day, we celebrate the achievements of women in all fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM). This year at Leonardo we were proud to feature some of the female Flight Test Engineers (FTE) who have recently seen their careers take flight at the Home of British Helicopters, in Yeovil.
An interview, introducing Rachel Ruxton – Leonardo’s new UK Head of Inclusion and Diversity – who talks her ambitions for Leonardo and what building a welcoming and inclusive workplace means for her personally as well as for our company.

Leonardo, leading a team of small and medium-sized businesses (“Team Endure”) from across the UK, has been awarded a contract worth over £40M to equip Army personnel with digital protection against remotely-triggered bombs. Visit our website to learn more.
Leonardo has launched a new data-driven approach to design and manufacturing at its electronics sites across the UK, with a new ‘common data environment’ going live, initially at sites in Edinburgh, Luton, Basildon and Southampton. The change will speed up development and cut costs, as the company’s scientists and engineers research and build advanced technology such as radars and protective countermeasures for aircraft. By better exploiting the data it collects, Leonardo will be able to get high-tech new equipment into the hands of the UK Armed Forces and its allies faster. Read the full story on our website...
At Farnborough Airshow 2022, leaders from Leonardo UK & Mitsubishi Electric met to acknowledge the progress made so far in cooperating on the UK-Japan JAGUAR radar technology programme since 2018, as the international Future Combat Air System programme drives forward.
30 years after the Defensive Aid Sub System (DASS) Business Agreement was signed, Leonardo was delighted to host the Praetorian DASS Supplier Conference at the RAF Museum in London to mark the anniversary.
At the ‘Home of British Helicopters’ in Yeovil, Leonardo has begun establishing its production line for the latest generation battlefield helicopter, the AW149 helicopter. This latest multi-million pound investment by the company in its onshore facilities makes Leonardo’s bid for the UK’s New Medium Helicopter (NMH) requirement even more competitive by ensuring the company is ready to deliver the AW149 into service by 2025, if selected by the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD).
