Leonardo has sealed a 20-year framework agreement with the Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation to maintain defence systems in service with the Royal Danish Navy (RDN).

The deal, worth up to €70 million ($79 million) covers aftersales support and potential future upgrades to Leonardo (formerly Oto Melara) 76/26 Super Rapid (SR) Gun Mounts.

These guns are in service with RDNIver Huitfeldt-class frigates, Thetis-class ocean patrol vessels and Knud Rasmussen-class arctic patrol vessels.

‘The first purchase orders are expected to be for materials necessary to maintain operational guns and for a plan to replace all original consoles with a new digital version,’ Leonardo announced in a 9 June statement.
