Technologically unique, digitally designed tactical …
Today, Leonardo is a world-renowned leader in military training and, thanks to its advanced technology and aircraft, is able to cover a complete pilot training program and improve the operational capabilities of all air forces. While the M-346 is the most advanced, currently available, solution for the Lead in Fighter Training (LIFT) pilot phase, the new tactical trainer M-345 Dual Role was as an optimal solution to cover the full basic to advanced pilot training, as well as a great help in supporting operational tasks. The new aircraft is designed to ensure functionality, efficiency and the best use of public resources.
Thanks to its performance, avionics, which rivals the latest generation of fighter jets, on-board simulation capabilities that replicate all simulated tactical functions during the flight spectrum, the M-345 Dual Role Tactical Trainer is a very efficient jet trainer. As far as the training system is concerned, the complete Ground Based Training System (GBTS), which includes the “Live Virtual Constructive” (LVC) level, confirms Leonardo’s ability to train pilots at a high level. LVC technology allows you to connect the aircraft in flight with simulators on the ground, in real time to broadcast a virtual tactical training environment generated during the simulation on board (embedded elements of virtual “friends” or “enemies”, targets and weapons), which puts the future pilot in a variety of complex situation of operational scenarios.
In addition, the tactical trainer M-345 Dual Role is ideal in its armed configuration to become an effective combat solution in evolving scenarios, it is able to perform operational tasks using a wide range of air-to-air and air-to-ground equipment.
The M-345 is the ideal solution for the requirements of modern air forces: a jet trainer at the price of a turboprop aircraft, which provides maximum performance in its segment and uses the maximum performance of the training system.
The entire “maintenance-designed” aviation system aims to improve the need for ground support, optimize the efficiency of on-board and Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS) availability, which optimally ensures that maintenance is carried out, eliminating unnecessary systems or parts exchange controls. The entire maintenance concept has been designed from the beginning and the goal is to meet the customer’s requirements for easy flexibility as well as easy involvement of the local industry.
The launch of the new Leonardo aircraft can generate significant returns for the Slovak defense and civilian industries. Leonardo promotes global cooperation at the local level and a business model aimed at promoting appropriate synergies with local industries.
This approach could be extremely valuable, especially in the Slovak Republic, which is a country of the European Union and NATO, and the company Leonardo is already operating successfully C-27J Spartan.
As part of the potential cooperation with the Italian Air Force, there is another opportunity for Slovakia to take advantage of the prospective cooperation of mastering the complete ITAF program by completing the last phase of training on the M-346 at the International Flight Training School (IFTS). The service program was created by the Italian Air Force together with Leonardo to meet the growing international demand for training that meets the highest world standards.
The Leonard company uses the most effective and most effective defense solution used for Slovakia in terms of perspective. At the same time, this solution is characterized by the widest possibilities of defense cooperation between the two countries, as well as extensive industrial returns and the development of local industries in accordance with the requirements of the whole of Slovakia.
