The VLS modules are primarily intended for the American destroyers of the <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Arleigh-Burke<\/span>-class and the future frigates of the <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Constellation<\/span>-class. The package has a total value of more than 231 million dollars. 80 per cent of the launchers will go to the US Navy, with a further 13 per cent (30.7 million dollars) earmarked for Australia under the Foreign Military Sales programme and 7 per cent (17.5 million dollars) for Spain. Both nations have ships equipped with the Mk 41 Vertical Launching System. In Australia, these are the destroyers of the <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Hobart<\/span>-class and the frigates of the <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Anzac<\/span>- and the future <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Hunter<\/span>-class. The Spanish Navy has one Mk 41 system with 48 cells on each of the five frigates in the <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\"> Alvaro-de-Bazan<\/span>-class installed.<br \/>\nThe Mk 41 system built by Lockheed Martin has a modular design and is installed below deck. The vertical take-off system was originally developed for the Aegis cruisers of the <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Ticonderoga<\/span>-class, can be found today in large numbers on the destroyers of the <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Arleigh-Burke<\/span>-class. In the meantime, 14 other navies have decided in favour of installing the Mk 41. The most important customer outside the United States is Japan. In Germany, the system has been integrated into the 123 and 124 class frigates.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12714\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12714\" style=\"width: 724px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12714\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-07-27-Mk-41-3-mfo.jpg\" alt=\"Mk 41 from Lockheed Martin\" width=\"724\" height=\"1087\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-07-27-Mk-41-3-mfo.jpg 724w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-07-27-Mk-41-3-mfo-200x300.jpg 200w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-07-27-Mk-41-3-mfo-682x1024.jpg 682w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-07-27-Mk-41-3-mfo-360x540.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12714\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mk 41 from Lockheed Martin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>Text: mb; Photos: US Navy, Lockheed Martin<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lockheed Martin hat vom Pentagon einen Auftrag zur Lieferung von weiteren 70 Vertikalstartern des Typs Mk 41 erhalten.
