MONARC development moves up a gear after 'pre-selection' for F125 programme

Article Abstract:

Development of modular naval artillery concept (MONARC) naval 155 mm gun turret has lead to moving up the gear following what contractor Rheinmetall described as the turret's 'tentative pre-selection' as part of the armament solution for the German Navy's future F125 frigate programme. During its launch as a private venture in 2002, MONARC project group members included Howaldtswerke Deutsche Werft (HDW), Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW), and Rheinmetall Waffe Munition (RWM).
