Leonardo explained that “the programme, which involves Italy, the UK and Japan, represents a challenge aimed at protecting and strengthening national technological and industrial sovereignty by ensuring prosperity, safeguarding distinctive skills, employment return and competitiveness of the Aerospace, Defense and Security sector on international markets. The Gcap will involve the entire Italian supply chain starting from universities and research centers up to SMEs and the leading national industries involved.

The Italian team, in addition to Leonardo – already present in the program since 2018 with Leonardo UK – will involve Avio Aero, Elettronica and MBDA Italia together with the entire innovative and productive ecosystem of the country”.
