Thanks to the flexible ISO Mount installation concept,
the guns can be installed on any of the Absalon
class or the new Iver Huitfeldt-class frigate. The guns will be
managed by SaabTech CEROS fire control systems and Terma command and control
technology.
Teamed with Rheinmetall’s high-performance 35mm Ahead airburst ammunition, the Millennium gun gives the Danish Navy a close-range self-defence capability for protecting high-value assets that is second to none. A multipurpose weapon system, it is also capable of neutralizing asymmetric and symmetric threats alike, whether on the surface or in the air. Besides Denmark, five other NATO nations use Rheinmetall’s programmable 35mm Ahead airburst ammunition which, when combined with the Millennium Revolver Gun 35/1000, results in massive yet flexible firepower that can be scaled to match a wide variety of operational scenarios. |
