AURIGA (ArmoURed Infantry Ground Assault)
Leonardo leads the AURIGA future infantry-fighting-vehicle/ground-combat-command project under the European Defence Fund; exact EU contribution figure disputed across sources.
Leonardo leads AURIGA, a 48-company/18-country consortium project developing future infantry fighting vehicle and ground-combat command capability, funded at approximately EUR25M for an initial 36-month phase under the European Defence Fund's 2024 call. A EUR64M figure widely associated with Leonardo and EDF 2025 is a SEPARATE fact -- Leonardo's own EDF-2025 press release confirms EUR64M total funding (EUR51M capability development + EUR13M research) across its ASIMOV and ANEMOS projects, which do not include AURIGA. The EUR64M/EUR65M figures previously used in this database for AURIGA were a conflation of these two distinct facts, corrected here.
