Italy is investing in defending new hybrid warfare in Europe. He does this by betting on it Michelangelo’s dome, The new generation of anti-missile system For possible future attacks and to protect European countries. The goal is to stop all types of attacks. Both traditional and technological. The purpose of the project – developed by Leonardo – is to preventively intervene against future attacks to come Missiles, drones and cyber attacks. The idea is not limited to betting on traditional anti-missile armor only; Rather, it is a global system that includes the integration of space, land, air and maritime systems, at the center of which is cybersecurity and the use of artificial intelligence.
The new Italian anti-missile system – inspired by and going beyond the Israeli Iron Dome – carries a military and civil message, and aims to protect all the cities and countries of Europe; Relying on infrastructure that already exists, for example, in member states that are today already members of NATO. CEO of Leonardo, Roberto CingolaniHe confirmed that “If there was ever a time to invest in defense, it is now.”. For Cingolani, “peace must be defended and has a cost,” but it is also a potential market of more than 200 thousand million euros for international companies aspiring to cooperate with each other in the perspective of a European project.
the Michelangelo’s domewhich is committed not only to physical protection, but also to technological protection, was developed by the famous Italian company Leonardo, an international industrial group that develops technologies in the fields of space, air, defense and security. It is a trans-Alpine project, among other things, because Leonardo itself is partly owned by the Italian state; Its contribution is 30.2% to the Ministry of Economy in the shoe-shaped country.
The person responsible for Leonardo reported that it was found all over the continent “18 thousand cases of hybrid attacks annually in major countries”. Cingolani – former Minister of Environmental Transition in the previous Italian government, Mario Draghi– He stressed the importance of investing in projects of this kind “because the war does not end, but rather a new (hybrid) war begins,” which unites the possibility of physical attacks with technological attacks. The benefit of a protection system with these characteristics, with an emphasis on preventive surveillance, aims to reduce the costs of responding to attacks compared to traditional systems that merely destroy missiles and drones already in the air.
The Italian state has all the information necessary to implement Michelangelo’s dome In the country’s defense system. In fact, the project has already been presented to the Italian Minister of Defense, Guido Crosettoand the General Staff of the country to form a joint team of all the armed forces across the Alps and thus program the application from now on dome In Italy. But the ambition of both Leonardo and the Transalpine government is just that The project is European; Hence, the Defense Minister stressed that Italy is “already talking to all countries” in a context in which “each country can contribute its technologies and cooperate together in creating a highly advanced defense system.” Guido Crosetto explains that the aforementioned system will be able to contain “all kinds of threats,” from “hypersonic missiles” to “small drones.”
