Combined Naval Event
20-22 May 2025
Leonardo is sponsoring, exhibiting (stand D17) and presenting at the Combined Naval Event (CNE 2025) on 20-22 May 2025, at the Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre.

As a global technology company that provides Aerospace & Defence solutions, Leonardo works in partnership with naval customers to help define and deliver Future Maritime Capability.

Operational maritime activities are changing, and as navies adapt to the increasingly complex international security environment and look to benefit from technology proliferation, Leonardo engages closely with operators and customers to meet the constantly evolving scenarios that they face.

At CNE 2025, Leonardo is showcasing its vision for how Force Sensing in a contested and congested environment can help naval commands achieve concepts such as mass, interoperability and interchangeability at sea.


Proteus Technology Demonstrator

Proteus Technology Demonstrator

Leonardo has collaborated with the UK MOD for over a decade to advance Rotary Wing Uncrewed Air Systems. In partnership with DE&S Future Capabilities Innovation and the Royal Navy, Leonardo is developing the Proteus Technology Demonstrator to enhance payload modularity, autonomy and rotorcraft technology. Proteus forms a key pillar of the Royal Navy’s Maritime Aviation Transformation (MAT X) strategy to utilise uncrewed systems where possible and crewed platforms where necessary, build mass at sea and support anti-submarine warfare missions.

Dragonfire – Laser fire power

Leonardo is working with MBDA, UK MOD and Dstl to develop a Laser Directed Energy Weapon that provides short-range air defence capability or close-in protection for naval vessels.
