Proud Leaders of British Technology

At DSEI 2021, Leonardo showcased its on-shore capability, highlighting some of the cutting-edge products designed and manufactured in the UK. At the heart of this zone was the AW149 military medium multirole helicopter, Leonardo's proposal for the UK’s requirement to procure a new medium helicopter. Producing the UK’s next military helicopter on-shore will help preserve high value design and manufacturing jobs, and boost the economy, with every £1 invested in Leonardo putting £2.40 back into the local economy.
