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 strategy to utilise uncrewed systems where possible and crewed platforms where necessary, build mass at sea and support anti-submarine warfare missions.
