en.Wedoany.com Reported - Leonardo DRS's Nuclear Instrumentation and Control business line, leveraging its technical experience accumulated in defense, commercial, and emerging maritime nuclear applications, provides nuclear-grade instrumentation and control solutions during the transformation period of the nuclear power industry. The business traces its origins back to the Consolidated Controls Corporation (CCC), founded in 1958, and has long supported U.S. Navy nuclear propulsion and commercial nuclear power generation.

Currently, the nuclear industry faces demands such as plant modernization, advanced reactor deployment, and maritime nuclear energy exploration, which require suppliers to possess deep nuclear technology expertise and execution experience. Leonardo DRS's business encompasses analog and digital instrumentation and control systems, nuclear-grade hardware, safety-related architectures, and engineering modernization, with operational standards compliant with NQA-1 and experience supporting 10 CFR 50 Appendix B environments.

In addressing the aging of commercial reactors, Leonardo DRS provides analog system upgrades, alternative hardware development, reverse engineering, and long-term maintenance strategies aimed at reducing operational disruption risks and preserving licensing bases. For advanced reactor and small modular reactor (SMR) projects, this business line assists developers in bridging the gap between innovative concepts and deployment infrastructure through a practice-oriented approach.

The unique advantage of this business line lies in connecting the three domains of naval nuclear, commercial nuclear, and maritime nuclear applications. As concepts such as floating nuclear power plants and nuclear-powered maritime platforms gain attention, Leonardo DRS combines its understanding of harsh environments and compact system integration from the naval nuclear field with regulatory experience from the commercial nuclear field to provide support for maritime nuclear systems, including integrated platform control, reactor protection, and safety monitoring.

The industry is entering a new phase driven by energy security, electrification, decarbonization, and geopolitics. Leonardo DRS will continue to rely on its long-term experience in nuclear instrumentation and control to provide mission-critical solutions for traditional unit modernization, advanced reactors, and maritime nuclear applications.
