Italy P.2HH HammerHead

The P.2HH programme was the Italian Ministry of Defence's plan to buy 20 Piaggio Aerospace P.2HH HammerHead surveillance drones and 10 ground control stations for EUR 766 million, with annual funding running to 2032. The ministry sent the request to Parliament in February 2018, but the defence commission gave no opinion before the March 2018 election. After the election the programme was suspended and its funding frozen, and Piaggio Aerospace entered receivership in November 2018.
