Awhero, C-27j and Atos. All Leonardo products at Seafuture 2021
Giacomo Cavanna's article for Ares Difesa on products and technologies presented by Leonardo at Seafuture 2021
Leonardo, platinum sponsor of Seafuture 2021, showed some of its products and technologies for maritime domination including the C-27J Next Generation MPA / ASW, the remote control helicopter (RUAS) AWHero, a console of the Airborne Tactical Observation and Surveillance System ATOS and more.
The AWHERO , equipped with a Gabbiano UL radar (left), is able to operate night and day from the deck of a naval unit, guaranteeing low operation and maintenance costs. In the RUAS class it is the only aircraft that meets the safety standards that are applied to helicopters.
At the foot of the AWHERO there was also the Ulisses system (Ultra Light SonicS Enhanced System) which, although it has very small dimensions, is able to process data from sonar and from the latest sophisticated versions of sonoboe, allowing identification, tracking and recognition. of submarine targets for ASW operations.
The C-27J Next Generation MPA / ASW implements the latest NG innovations with an ad hoc configuration for carrying out Search and Rescue (SAR), Command, Control, Communication, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C3ISR), Anti-Submarine missions Warfare (ASW) and Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW).
The aircraft, thanks to its large load capacity, can carry a good mix of armament and sonoboe.
At the rear of the aircraft there is a magnetic anomaly detector (MAD) and antennas for receiving data from sonoboe.
The ATOS mission system console combines data from a multitude of sensors installed in both piloted and remotely controlled aircraft ensuring maximum interoperability between systems.
As for the naval artillery, the 76 mm and 127 mm Vulcano projectile and the 76 mm Dart projectile were exhibited.
The exhibition featured the very small Black Scorpion torpedo designed to combat the proliferation of mini submarines. It can be launched from aircraft, ships and helicopters.
Also present at the entrance to SeaFuture was the SWAD ( Sea Watch Dog ) remote control unit armed with a 12.7mm Lionfish Ultralight remote turret.
