"Advances in technology offer a multitude of options for addressing the security challenges presented by the increasingly complex world of today. However, to confront these challenges effectively, the prevailing need is for integrated systems and solutions. In so many aspects of modern life, security is a critical factor which must be considered through the life cycle of a project, from conception to delivery. A radical approach to technology can not only lead to the effective addressing of security concerns, but also to significant additional benefits in the longer term".
Pier Francesco Guarguaglini
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
"Security" is one of humankind's deepest, most natural and most instinctive needs.
"Feeling safe" from every kind of external danger lying outside our personal control is essential to building a full, satisfying and free life.
In particular, Finmeccanica is concerned with the safety of those who use its products every day: pilots and aircraft technicians, civil protection staff and members of the armed forces, radar operators and specialists who work in command and control centres, astronauts and railway workers, power station personnel and postal automation workers. With these people in mind, the Group is constantly striving to improve the quality of its products - from the smallest sensor to the largest integrated system.
Today "providing security" is a complex mission, precisely because the world itself is so complex.
A company having this aim can only achieve it by responding to ever more rapid and less predictable changes with systems that integrate different technologies and capabilities, all guided by a common intelligence.
This know-how and intelligence lies at the heart of Finmeccanica's work. The Group makes use of technological, industrial and human resources in order to obtain one shared objective: to provide new, integrated solutions for the security of all.
Finmeccanica's trademark mirrors this strategic design: seven dynamic, streamlined vectors - symbolising the seven fields of activity - all converging towards a common point. Seven integrated skills to plan a better future.
Finmeccanica is taking part in the Paris Air Show 2009 under the aegis of this trademark and the key word "security" - both being the essence of its business and its vision.
