Excellence through innovation
With a track-record dating back more than 60
years, Finmeccanica is committed to excellence and technological
innovation, something shared by each of Finmeccanica’s operating
companies in the UK. Each business is an acknowledged expert in its
field, providing a depth of experience and proven track-records in
their markets. Significant investment in our British-based
world-class facilities and leading-edge technologies continues,
further expanding our UK and international reach and expertise to
create effective and flexible solutions.
In a climate when new threats are constantly
emerging, Finmeccanica’s world-class combination of skills and
resources enables us to meet the multi-faceted challenges of the
defence and security markets. We translate customer requirements
into timely, cost-effective programmes, employing the appropriate
technology base and applying proven systems integration skills.
The strength to grow / develop
Finmeccanica UK has world-class capabilities
that are setting the standard internationally for both performance
and value-for-money, from rotorcraft to advanced targeting, from
self-protection to lethality, and from secure communications to
networking.
Our strong position across a range of
capability areas and key programmes will keep us at the heart of UK
defence requirements for years to come. Finmeccanica continues to
strengthen the positions of our core rotary and defence electronics
businesses by becoming a prominent Through-Life Capability
Management provider, through customer partnerships and industrial
alliances.
We are committed to stimulating sustainable
growth by expanding the scope of our UK operations and developing
innovative offerings in areas of increasing importance, such as
security and resilience, Space, naval systems, unmanned aircraft systems,
and the land
battlespace.
Finmeccanica’s successful position in the UK
marketplace also provides a basis for developing opportunities
internationally, particularly in the USA. We have a tradition of
partnering with US-based systems integrators, and have implemented
successful joint programmes in major platforms and defence
electronics systems.
Finmeccanica's acquisition of DRS Technologies in 2008 adds
impetus to this process.
