Leonardo, an international player dedicated to the development of multidomain operational capabilities in the Aerospace, Defense and Security sectors through the supervision of strategic technologies, adheres to “A Thousand Infrastructures - Network of companies”.
In this context, Leonardo has the ambition to introduce advanced and integrated technological capabilities for the intelligent management of critical infrastructures. The Thousand Infrastructures - Network of companies consortium is in fact the entity created to participate in tenders and / or tenders as part of the "Project for the static and dynamic monitoring of infrastructures, environmental protection areas and coasts", connected to the Plan National Recovery and Resilience (PNRR) and the Complementary Fund of the PNRR. This project will also be able to compete at a European level to win competitive funding within the various research programs.
"Joining a Thousand Infrastructures - Network of companies testifies and confirms how the objectives of Leonardo's strategy, expressed in the Be Tomorrow 2030 long-term strategic growth plan, are perfectly in line with those that guide the National Plan of Recovery and Resilience ”, declares Lucio Valerio Cioffi, General Manager of Leonardo. "Over time we have developed the technological capabilities to offer the country system a structured support and global monitoring activities are among those macro areas that Leonardo has identified in order to guarantee a decisive contribution for the modernization of the country", concludes Cioffi, appointed Deputy President of the consortium.
Leonardo will put its specialized cutting-edge solutions in global monitoring activities as a common factor of the Thousand Infrastructures network, supported by the application of artificial intelligence solutions.
Thanks to multisensory and satellite techniques and proprietary information analysis and correlation solutions, a cyber-safe platform by design will be created, capable of presenting a snapshot of the situation and its evolution over time. Through the creation of digital twins for the virtualization of the artifacts to be monitored and the integration of physical-mathematical models for the structural and behavioral analysis of the same, the static and dynamic monitoring of the parameters that guarantee stability and safety to the critical infrastructures of the Village.
The platform may subsequently also be used for monitoring other infrastructures, in order to provide managers and concessionaires and the safety authorities with an effective alert and maintenance tool.
The Thousand Infrastructures network was born on the initiative of the technological districts of Basilicata, Liguria, Piedmont and Campania, and involves large, medium and small businesses, together with research centers and universities, for a total of over eighty public and private actors. A network of complementary skills that sees major players in the field of technological innovation as protagonists. The subjects participating in the network geographically cover the entire peninsula, thus enabling cohesion between the various areas of the country in line with national strategic objectives. The network adopts an organizational model that can be replicated, in the management of the same activities, even at a European level.
