Leonardo’s OTO Marlin 40 gun mount can be configured to be fully slaved to a combat management system / fire control system (CMS / FCS), as well as being operable via autonomous local control through an independent optical sight and ballistic computation capability.

The naval turret’s high performance, flexibility and low weight make it primarily suited for a vessel’s main armament and / or secondary armament system, thereby ensuring significant protection against manoeuvrable surface and air based threats.

Leonardo is claimed to be one of largest global manufacturers of 40mm naval gun mounts and more than 850 of the company’s systems have been deployed in service with 30 different navies to date.
