Cambio di paradigma, l'intervento di Roberto Cingolani AD e DG di Leonardo

When we talk about the defense industry, we associate weapons. From another perspective, broader and more open, we also consider global security. War is waged when there is no other alternative. Today, we have realized that peace has a price; it must be defended. We have begun to understand that we too can be invaded. Various infrastructures are attacked, not only with weapons. If we analyze what a multinational defense company does today, we must talk about global security. An example? In a few minutes, a missile can reach us from Moscow. The average time to defend oneself is short. You can think of having a kind of shield. To do this, you need a series of satellites, underwater platforms, and drones on land, sea, and air, ready to communicate with each other, to neutralize the incoming threat. This represents 40-50% of a country's technology. Even landing on the Moon generated technologies that later became commonplace. Leonardo has 63,000 employees in over 100 countries. No one likes war, but everyone likes security, and that also comes through defense. Technologies aren't good or bad; it always depends on who uses them."
