Leonardo opens new cyber-training facility
Leonardo has opened a new academy in Lincoln, UK, to train technical specialists within the cyber and electromagnetic activities (CEMA) domain.
Leonardo has invested more than £2 million in the new facility, which allows 150 students to train at any one time. Training at the facility will initially be an extension of existing activities, focusing on electronic warfare, such as training UK Ministry of Defence personnel to protect platforms against high-tech threat radar systems that they may face in operational theatres.
The academy will deliver a range of domain knowledge modules that provide users with a structured course of education from overview to expert across the CEMA environment, some of which will form part of a Masters of Science programme.
In addition to UK forces, the Leonardo Academy in Lincoln is already under contract to host delegates from international allies including Brazil and South Korea. Around 70% of the training delivered is expected to be to the international customers.
