VULCANO
Long Range Land and Naval Ammunition
VULCANO is a family of unguided (BER) and guided (GLR) ammunition for the 76mm, 127mm, and 155mm land artillery systems.
The VULCANO 76mm gun system is a leap ahead of the competition, dramatically increasing its already outstanding artillery performance in the roles of Naval Gunfire Support (NGS) and Anti-Surface Warfare.
The VULCANO 155mm ammunition enables the 155/52-caliber and 155/39-caliber Howitzers to extend their operational range and precision beyond their current capability, minimizing engagement costs and collateral damage.
The VULCANO 127mm rounds capitalize on new and emerging technology, featuring a fin-stabilized airframe with canard control for terminal guidance; the mechanical interfaces are the same as those of standard 127mm ammunition.
