Dalla futura nuova versione dell’ASTER franco-italiano in grado di difenderci pure dai missili balistici, e dai futuri missili antimissili europei ‘orbitali’ e dalle nuove versioni di stadi, motori e propellenti dei missili commerciali europei VEGA per orbite medio (con socio di maggioranza italiano) e di quelli pesanti a maggioranza francese Arianne. G.E. Avio: un’impresa di solida collaborazione societaria transatlantica.
