The aim of the partnership is to evaluate the transformation of the aircraft into a next-generation Maritime MMA solution capable of addressing strict market requirements. The proposed platform would merge Leonardo’s advanced ATOS mission system and mission sensors with Bombardier’s high-performing and versatile aircraft.
This combination is designed to deliver a fully integrated surveillance solution tailored to a wide range of airborne operational needs. The potential product offering would also feature state-of-the-art acoustic systems and mission equipment to enhance maritime capabilities.
Leonardo brings extensive experience in mission systems, sensors, and self-protection technology, integrated across both proprietary and third-party platforms. These capabilities provide operational forces with superior information and decision-making support throughout all levels of command.
“Bombardier’s proven and versatile Global 6500 aircraft combined with Leonardo’s world-class mission systems are perfectly aligned to meet operational demands of discerning users,” the companies said. The collaboration reflects a strategic approach to respond to growing international demand for flexible and effective airborne maritime surveillance platforms.
