The frigate Luigi Rizzo has reached a significant milestone with the completion of the last phase of On the Job Training for the specialist personnel of the Scaneagle Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA).

This important result comes just a few weeks after the conclusion of the system acceptance tests and will soon allow the unit to use a drone “on the field” for the first time, in a real operational context.

The integration of the Scaneagle system on board the frigates is said to represent an important step forward for the Navy, which continues to invest in cutting-edge technologies useful for facing modern challenges within the dynamic international context.

The Scaneagle is a light and precise long-range system, equipped with advanced and highly autonomous sensors which, flown by military pilots supported by qualified specialist personnel from the Navy’s Remotely Piloted Aircraft Section (SEZAPRM), contributes to the collection of highly detailed real-time operational information, useful for ensuring Maritime Situation Awareness to monitor vast areas of sea and identify potential threats or high-risk situations.
