Platforms

The debate around Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) often focuses on the air vehicle. Yet platforms alone do not create combat advantage.

Future CCA capability will be determined by the ability to integrate sensors, electronic warfare, communications, autonomy and mission data into a coherent operational ecosystem.

Drawing on decades of experience across combat air, uncrewed systems and sixth-generation technologies, Leonardo is helping shape the future battlespace by delivering the technologies that connect sensing, decision-making and operational effect.

Our approach is simple: Open. Flexible. Scalable.

Contact us to find out more about how we continually evolve our payload portfolio to meet emerging operational requirements, supporting both today's aircraft and future generations of Collaborative Combat Aircraft.
