Company brief
Leonardo DRS is a US-listed defense electronics subsidiary of Leonardo, Italy, specializing in electro-optical sensors, force protection systems, counter-UAS solutions, and tactical networking technologies. The company focuses on air defense radar systems, counter-drone effectors, and mission computing equipment for military applications. Its Guardian AR360 radar and Windshear C-UAS systems are marketed to Gulf region customers seeking US-based industrial capabilities for ITAR compliance. Leonardo DRS also supplies mission computers used in Gulf military aircraft. The firm's US listing distinguishes it from its Italian parent company, which is occasionally required by Gulf end-user agreements. Operations are based in Arlington, Virginia, with a focus on defense electronics for international defense programs.
