Lionfish 30, Hitfist 30 Turrets Displayed
Leonardo launched two new turrets for naval and land defence, exhibiting them for the first time at Seafuture.
The Lionfish 30 and Hitfist 30 Ultra Light (UL) turrets showcased at the exhibition introduce enhanced features and capabilities to their respective product lines.
These cutting-edge turrets, operated remotely, feature the state-of-the-art 30mm X-GUN, an electric-powered weapon system developed in-house by Leonardo. The X-GUN incorporates pioneering patented technologies, elevating the performance and functionality of the turrets.
The Lionfish 30 naval turret joins the company’s range of small-calibre Lionfish products, which includes the 12.7mm Ultralight, Inner Reloading and Top models, as well as a 20mm version.
Its compact and lightweight design makes it suitable for installation on small platforms, offering defence against various asymmetric threats such as drones and helicopters.
In complex scenarios with multiple targets or multi-targets, the turret leverages sophisticated Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms for contextual analysis and optimised engagement.
Other distinctive features include a fast rate of fire, long operating range and the ability to use new-concept high-efficiency air burst ammunition with preformed fragmentation which is designed to be more effective against aerial threats such as mini and micro-sized drones.
For the land domain, the company presented the Hitfist 30 Unmanned Light remote-controlled turret.
More compact and lighter than other Hitfist family variant, the system can be installed on vehicles with stringent weight restrictions, such as amphibious models.
The company has designed these new defence systems for use in modern, continuously evolving operational scenarios where threats, especially from the air, are becoming increasingly complex.
The new models join a portfolio that includes the 76/62 Super Rapido and 127/64 Light Weight Vulcano guns for the naval domain and the 105/120 Hitfact and 25/30 Hitfist turrets for the land domain, which are in service with dozens of countries worldwide.
