Leonardo announces that it has signed a major contract with EDGE Group’s Naval Arm, Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB), to provide next-generation naval combat systems for the Falaj 3 configuration for the Kuwait Navy “Al Dorra” missile boat program.
With an estimated value of around € 320 million, this contract represents a significant milestone in the strategic partnership with EDGE and ADSB. It reinforces a well-established and successful collaboration that has already led to the delivery of more than 25 naval units, demonstrating a proven track record of excellence and reliability in more than 20 years of fruitful collaboration.
This agreement plays a key role in strengthening cooperation between the two organizations and marks a further step toward the creation of a future joint venture between Leonardo and EDGE Group. The strong backlog of acquired contracts underpins a competitive and validated business model, capable of meeting the highest standards in the global defense market worldwide.
Thanks to this latest success, Leonardo with EDGE (edgegroup.ae) and ADSB (adsb.ae), are positioning a highly advanced “whole warship management” capability on the international stage, covering the full spectrum from system integration to delivery of state-of-the-art naval platforms.
Leonardo is a strategic partner to the Italian Navy and a leading point of reference for the naval forces of many countries. Leonardo’s naval solutions - from Combat Management Systems to Naval Guns, Long Range Surveillance and Missile Defence - for a safe and secure management of maritime operations are installed all over the world for more than 100 Navies.
