• The primary and distinctive coaching heart in Europe, primarily based on the Pratica di Mare Air Base (Rome), is constructed on the robust synergies between the operational experience of Guardia di Finanza and Leonardo’s technological and repair excellence
A single digital actuality surroundings, integrating plane and mission techniques, delivering environment friendly and protected crew coaching for interoperability in advanced situations
Rome, 02/02/2023 – The Guardia di Finanza (Italian police power, with normal energy in financial and monetary affairs, the one maritime police power in Italy) was inaugurated at this time, throughout an official ceremony within the presence of representatives of the establishments and Leonardo. The brand new heart has been developed by the corporate beginning in 2020. Primarily based on buyer necessities, it takes benefit of essentially the most superior and modern applied sciences within the area of simulation, and goals to coach Guardia di Finanza crews to hold out air and sea operations.
The brand new heart, which is exclusive in Europe, integrates superior community simulation techniques right into a single surroundings. The simulators totally mirror Leonardo’s helicopters and plane, not too long ago acquired by the Guardia di Finanza and utilized in a spread of operational roles. Along with the corporate’s onboard mission techniques used for monitoring and identification, amongst different issues. These add to the State of affairs Simulator, developed by Leonardo, in a position to nearly create the surroundings the place platforms and personnel collaborate in a single activity, a ship dashboard simulator that additionally presents ships in a marine surroundings – developed in collaboration with Cetena (Fincantieri) – and a command heart Floor coordinates operations.
The AW169 / AW139 helicopters and the all-new P-72B “small movement” plane simulators, Enhanced Coaching Designator (ETD e-Movement), reproduce efficiency, avionics and cockpit with excessive accuracy, and are in a position to present sufficient bodily suggestions to the crew, and that Because of the platform’s built-in triggers. Pilot coaching is complemented by rear crew coaching for these utilizing the Leonardo ATOS (Tactical Oversight and Air Management) mission system for the AW139 and P-72B in addition to cabin carry operations because of a extremely immersive digital actuality for search and rescue missions.
Thanks to those simulation capabilities, Guardia di Finanza personnel might be skilled in an surroundings able to reflecting the intense realism of the interoperability normally required in present and future multi-domain situations, precisely these during which the Guardia di Finanza performs its duties equivalent to safety, surveillance, patrol, and rescue.

The middle is positioned in hangar “L” of the air base, has been tailored with the assist of Leonardo and is totally built-in in Leonardo helicopter International Coaching Academy Community. The Leonardo Coaching Academy coordinated the initiative, making it attainable to mix the best worldwide requirements of flight coaching with the missions supplied by the corporate’s completely different enterprise areas.
This initiative is the results of the robust assist of the Guardia di Finanza for using coaching simulations and Leonardo’s associated industrial and technological capabilities. It integrates mounted and rotary wings, electronics, sensors, coaching and improvement/utilization as a “digital twin”. Guardia di Finanza has grow to be a benchmark for different nationwide and worldwide gamers with a robust give attention to interoperability in advanced situations. Leonardo confirms its dedication to growing and supplying superior technological coaching options to safety organizations all around the world.
