Leonardo, a global leader in defense and aerospace with ~63,000 employees worldwide (including ~10,000 in the UK), is in a significant growth phase. To support this trajectory, the company's UK business launched an ambitious digital transformation strategy focused on modernization, cybersecurity, AI enablement, and operational agility.
To bring this vision to life, Leonardo partnered with DXC to modernize core applications, reduce technical debt, and accelerate innovation at scale.
“Leonardo and DXC have a very collaborative partnership. We value the way our teams work together, the leadership collaboration and the innovative thinking DXC brings to our organization. Together, we are accelerating our digital transformation across our UK business and bringing products and services to customers faster.” - Sallyann Files, Deputy UK CIO, Leonardo
Together, Leonardo and DXC are driving large-scale aerospace application modernization across the enterprise. Leveraging AI-enabled tooling, automation, and collaborative delivery models, the partnership is streamlining complex migration efforts while improving agility, scalability, and cyber resilience.
Focused hackathons and close executive alignment have further accelerated delivery, enabling faster response to business needs and strengthening the organization’s digital foundation for future growth.
The partnership has significantly reduced technical debt while enhancing operational resilience and lowering risk across the technology landscape of Leonardo’s UK business. It has also improved delivery speed, scalability, and cross-functional collaboration between leadership, engineering, and delivery teams.
By embedding AI-enabled tools and automation in aerospace engineering practices, Leonardo is accelerating deployment of digital products and services across the UK while building a foundation for sustained innovation.
The transformation of Leonardo’s UK business goes beyond modernization — it is building the foundation for AI-driven, data-centric, next-generation defense capabilities.
By combining Leonardo’s strategic vision with DXC’s technology expertise, the partnership is creating a more agile, secure, and innovative enterprise prepared for the future of defense and aerospace.
As Leonardo continues its growth journey, the collaboration with DXC remains central to enabling speed, resilience, and long-term competitive advantage.
