The technologies will enhance sea situational awareness and cover different spectrums of security to support decision coordination between the national agencies.

Once developed, the centre will support the QENF’s tactical and operational decision-making processes, as well as rapid interventions along the command chain.

Furthermore, Leonardo is engaged in various maritime projects with QENF, such as equipping combat system integrator.
