Description
Leonardo has showcased its latest family of naval and land guns as it was set to complete environmental and STANAG qualification on its X-Gun 30mm.
The Italian defence company's Brescia (near Milan, Italy) facility has traditionally produced gun systems of 40mm and above. In 2017, however, it saw a gap in the market for smaller calibres and started designing its X-Gun. Conceived with C-UAS missions in mind initially, Leonardo aimed its business crosshairs at fresh frontiers of the defence market, unleashing its homegrown gun technology in the hope of conquering territory traditionally dominated by US manufacturers.
The first two of six Lionfish
