Leonardo has signed a collaboration agreement in the field of precision guided ammunition with Konstrukta Defense, a leading Slovak company in the design and development of artillery systems.

The agreement, which provides for the integration of the Precision guided ammunition Vulcan developed by Leonardo in the 155mm / 52cal ZUZANA 2 artillery system by Konstrukta, will allow the two companies to jointly market and promote this solution on international markets, collaborating effectively and synergistic with a view to strengthening the common European defense capabilities.

The partnership, in fact, fits fully in the context of PeSCo (Permanent Structured Cooperation), the European initiative aimed at increasing the operational capacity of the Armed Forces of the Member States by pooling resources and developing armaments in a cooperative manner. Both Italy and Slovakia are members of the PeSCo.
