Less than ten days after the official launch of Leonardo’s Michelangelo Security Dome, the advanced integrated defence system, the company provides further evidence of its excellence in the field of Radar Sensor technology for Air and Missile Defence, one of the pillars of the Italian Dome.
This Radar, based on a multifunction AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) architecture and the most advanced technologies required for this capability, proved its excellent performance by tracking the threat and guiding the missile to intercept at a distance never before achieved with the Eurosam SAMP/T system during land trials.
This performance confirms Leonardo’s KRONOS Grand Mobile High Power as the best-in-class Radar Sensor in Europe for air and missile defence systems.
This result, in addition to those previously achieved during international Integrated Air and Missile Defence exercises (Formidable Shield and Pacific Dragon) and ground-based SAM (Surface-to-Air Missile) system live trials, once more testifies the solidity of the path undertaken by Leonardo in developing the Italian Michelangelo Security Dome that, thanks to its dynamic and open architecture, is the candidate to lead the integration of a Dome against air and missile threats for Europe.
