Our solutions are designed to ensure secure, resilient and adaptable communications across the battlespace – enabling seamless interoperability between ships, shore and joint forces. With deep expertise in integrating legacy and next-generation systems, Leonardo empowers naval operators with the flexibility to prioritise and manage voice, data and tactical information in real time, across any operational scenario.
This builds upon more than a century of Leonardo providing communications systems to the Royal Navy and other allied naval forces around the world.
We are also championing new collaborative delivery models that support open architecture, sovereign control and faster exploitation of technology across domains.
Core Naval Communications Integration Capabilities
- System-level integration: Leonardo UK integrates multiple radio and communications systems (HF, VHF, UHF, SATCOM, Link 11/16/22, LOS/BLOS, cellular, IP, etc.) into a single, coherent architecture – reducing operator burden and ensuring seamless voice, data and video exchange across all mission networks.
- Cross-domain integration: Specialised solutions for connecting classified and unclassified networks with robust cross-domain security and data networks, enabling controlled information flow between sea, air, land, space and cyber space.
- Network management and optimisation: Advanced network management systems (NMS) for configuration, monitoring and optimisation of the entire comms environment – ensuring optimal performance and resilience, even in degraded conditions.
- Waveform and bearer-agnostic solutions: Support for legacy and modern waveforms and bearers, ensuring flexibility to operate with multiple coalition partners and across evolving standards.
- Multi-vendor and legacy system integration: Ability to integrate and extend the life of in-service and third-party equipment, avoiding vendor lock-in and ensuring plug and play methodology.
