Leonardo has been awarded a contract by Damen to supply its OTO 127/64 LightWeight (LW) Vulcano medium-calibre naval gun for the German Navy's new Type 126 frigates.

Under the contract, announced on 29 March, Leonardo will initially supply gun systems to equip the four Type 126 frigates on order, with the addition of two optional vessels. The scope of supply also includes maintenance support, simulators for crew training, and onboard activities for the integration and commissioning of the system.

Dutch-owned Damen Shipyards was awarded a design and construction contract in June 2020 to deliver the four new Type 126 frigates for the German Navy in co-operation with German shipyards Blohm+Voss and Lürssen (the latter working in co-operation with Kiel-based German Naval Yards). French-based mission system specialist Thales will be responsible for the full integration and delivery of the mission and combat system.
