Radar

Leonardo is the European leader in radar technology, with our Centre of Excellence in Edinburgh building upon a 80-year heritage in this area.

We design and manufacture radars for fire control and surveillance that have been bought by government and military customers around the world. These include the Eurofighter Typhoon primary sensor, the Captor radar, as well as our family of Osprey and Seaspray radars that are exported to countries around the world.

Leonardo is also part of Team Tempest (alongside the RAF Rapid Capability Office, BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce and MBDA) which is developing the UK's Future Combat Air System (FCAS) capable of operating in the 2035+ environment. As part of the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP), Leonardo will be developing the Sensor and Communications Systems technology for the next generation aircraft.

Leonardo has a rich heritage designing and manufacturing Fire Control Radars. Today its Centre of Excellence in Edinburgh is a world-leader in radar technology, producing modern Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radars for Saab’s Gripen aircraft (RAVEN) and Eurofighter Typhoon (ECRS).

Leonardo has established itself as a world-leader in surveillance radar design and manufacturing. Its products provide essential capability to military and civilian operations around the globe, and the company is now pushing new boundaries in surveillance innovation.

Leonardo's highly skilled engineers and technicians have designed and developed the European Common Radar System (ECRS), equipping Eurofighter Typhoon fleets worldwide.

Radar technology continues to advance at a rapid pace and the innovation being led by Leonardo is enabling new uses for surveillance radars that were previously not possible.

Leonardo is a strategic partner of the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP) which is developing the next generation fighter jet that will meet the future threats of 2040+.

Our Edinburgh site specialises in the provision of multi-role surveillance radars and countermeasure systems, producing world-leading radar technology.
