Critical Dependencies
Italy's largest aerospace and defense company, unveiling the AI-powered 'Michelangelo Dome' multi-domain air defense system that combines next-generation sensors with AI-enabled command systems capable of countering ballistic and hypersonic missiles, UAVs, and drone swarms while keeping humans in the loop. Leonardo's 2026-2030 industrial plan targets cumulative orders of €142 billion and cumulative revenues of €126 billion, with CEO Roberto Cingolani projecting €6 billion in AI-defense opportunities by 2030 and €15 billion more by 2035, positioning cyber security, HPC, AI, and data as strategic pillars alongside its planned absorption of Iveco's military vehicle business.

Leonardo's €6-15B AI-defense revenue targets are a bet that AI becomes a defense budget line item, not just a feature
32% confidenceLeonardo's CEO projects €6 billion in AI-defense opportunities by 2030 and €15 billion more by 2035, with cyber security, HPC, AI, and data named as strategic pillars alongside the Michelangelo Dome air-defense system.
This is InsightNodes' own interpretive read: naming AI/HPC/data as standalone strategic pillars (rather than features embedded within existing platforms) signals Leonardo expects European defense budgets to eventually allocate spending to AI-defense infrastructure as its own category, similar to how Thales is positioning around AI combat aircraft -- if that budget category doesn't materialize as a distinct line item, the €6-15B figures could prove optimistic even if the underlying technology succeeds.
