The two aircraft must be interoperable to work together within NATO, so having Hensoldt work on FCAS and Leonardo work on Tempest could help,\u201d he told Defense News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added, \u201cWith Hensoldt having a role on FCAS, Leonardo as a shareholder becomes more central to European defense programs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The completion of the deal for Leonardo to take a stake in Hensoldt was followed on Jan. 14 by news that Hensoldt was handing Leonardo a 260 million euro ($295 million) contract to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2022\/01\/14\/deal-with-hensoldt-expands-leonardos-stake-in-eurofighter-radar-business\/\">supply components<\/a> for its Eurofighter radars for Germany and Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soccodato said that thanks to Leonardo\u2019s new stake in the German firm, \u201cthis is less of a contract and more of a partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added, \u201cTaking the stake is a strategic move, not a financial investment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prior to taking the stake in Hensoldt, Leonardo units in the UK and Italy were already advising the firm in its work on Eurofighter radar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBetween us we have the majority of the electronics work on Eurofighter,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soccodato added that there would be technology sharing on other programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHensoldt\u2019s strength in optical technology can help our products, while we have command-and-control technology they don\u2019t have. Our super-fast computing and artificial intelligence capabilities could also now be accessible for Hensoldt,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leonardo and Hensoldt are two key manufacturers of Transmit-Receive modules for e-scan radar, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are helping build a base for a European defense industrial capability,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A corporate tie-up between Italy\u2019s Leonardo and Germany\u2019s Hensoldt could make Europe\u2019s two future
