Doha – At this year’s DIMDEX naval exhibition in Doha, Finmeccanica will be demonstrating how it can offer its one company leadership in defence, security and aerospace to the nation of Qatar and the surrounding Gulf region. Finmeccanica will welcome visitors to its stand having recently announced that it has chosen “Leonardo” as its new name. With the focus at DIMDEX on naval matters, Finmeccanica’s priority at the exhibition will be to promote its range of related capabilities which are increasingly being recognised in the Gulf region as the gold-standard for integrated naval security. Finmeccanica can provide turnkey Combat Management Systems for all classes of military vessels and is the main provider to the UAE Navy in this domain. Last year the company also signed a contract with the Royal Bahrain Naval Force to upgrade six naval vessels which are on-target for completion in less than 5 years’ time. Finmeccanica’s broad capability can be seen on the FREMM Frigate Carabiniere visiting Doha Port during DIMDEX. (9colonne)
