Price
Value-based
Price is set on mission effect and survivability, valuing lifecycle savings over unit cost by linking price to KPIs: demonstrated availability 85–92%, MTBF >2,500 hours, and reduced crew/training needs by 30–40% — yielding lifecycle OPEX reductions of 20–35% versus legacy systems; benchmarked TCO shows 15–25% advantage over nearest competitor while delivering equal-or-better capability and mission readiness.
Contract models
Leonardo offers fixed-price, cost-plus, milestone and performance-based logistics (PBL) contracts, with PBL proven to cut lifecycle costs by up to 20% and SLA incentives/penalties commonly set at 1–5% of contract value. Multi-year procurement and block upgrades smooth budgets, reducing unit cost volatility ~30% and extending platform service life 5–10 years. Contracts include spiral development and add-on kits to enable incremental capability insertion.
Lifecycle bundles
Lifecycle bundles package platform, spares, training and software into multi-decade contracts with power-by-the-hour and availability fees, shifting revenue to predictable service streams; aftermarket can represent 30–40% of lifecycle revenue. Incorporating obsolescence and mid-life upgrades upfront lowers upgrade risk and preserves value. Predictive maintenance can cut unscheduled downtime by up to 50% and reduce total ownership costs 10–35% per industry studies.
Financing
Offsets & compliance
Pricing embeds offsets via localization, tech transfer and industrial participation targeting common local content thresholds of ~30%+ to lower duties and trigger procurement. Export-control compliance and certifications typically add an industry range of 5–10% to program costs and enhanced security requirements drive higher lifecycle pricing. Align prices to sovereign capability and jobs impact, quantifying local value-add to secure contracts.
- local-content:30%+
- compliance-cost:5–10%
- duties-reduction:via sourcing
- sovereign-pricing:jobs & capability
