The contract also includes logistical support for maintenance and the delivery of simulators for crew training.<\/p>\n<p>According to Leonardo, the naval gun with a calibre of 127 mm and a barrel length of 8,128 mm (64 x 127 mm) is the core of a fully digitalised system. In communication with the operators and the on-board Combat Management System, it offers constant support in the calculation of firing solutions. The gun will also use the two variants of the 127mm Vulcano ammunition: the Guided Long Range (GLR) and Ballistic Extended Range (BER). The gun extends the defence capability of a naval unit up to 85 km while maintaining accuracy.<\/p>\n<p>Diehl Defence was involved in the development and qualification of the Vulcano ammunition. Diehl describes the GLR as a family of ammunition with satellite-supported navigation with laser or infrared sensors for the final approach with maximum targeting accuracy. The insensitive multi-purpose warhead with preformed tungsten fragments is highly effective.<\/p>\n<p>This means that the F126 frigate will be equipped with the same naval gun as the Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg-class F125 frigates.<\/p>\n<p>Source: ESuT\/gmh<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wie der Hauptauftragnehmer f\u00fcr die Fregatte F126, Damen Naval in einer gemeinsamen Presseerkl\u00e4rung mit Leonardo mitteilte, ist Leonardo beauftragt, f\u00fcr die vier Fregatten F126 Gesch\u00fctze vom Typ OTO 127\/64 LightWeight (LW) Vulcano zu liefern.
