Leonardo’s leading-edge AWHero RUAS (Rotary Uncrewed Aerial System) has received basic military certification from Italy’s DAAA (Direzione degli Armamenti Aeronautici e per l’Aeronavigabilità), the Directorate for Air Armaments and Airworthiness. This achievement marks the world’s first military certification for a RUAS in the 200kg class.

With major upcoming programmes to strengthen its capabilities at sea, Australia has a trusted partner in Leonardo, who is exhibiting at Pacific Expo 2019 in Sydney, displaying the AWHERO unmanned platform.
