Otobreda 76 mm
Encyclopedia
The Otobreda 76 mm gun is a naval artillery piece built by the Italian
defence
conglomerate
Otobreda. It is based on the Oto Melara
76mm/L62 Allargato, which was bigger and heavier. A vehicle-mounted version known as the Otomatic
was built for the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun role but was not put into production.
The unlike the older Allargato the Otobreda 76mm Compacto cannon system is compact enough to be installed on relatively small warships, like corvette

s. The gun's high rate of fire makes it suitable for short-range anti-missile point defence, and its calibre also allows it to function in anti-aircraft, anti-surface, and ground support roles. Specialised ammunition is available for armour piercing, incendiary, and directed fragmentation, and a new stealth cupola
has been designed in recent years.
The Otobreda 76mm has been widely exported and is in use with 53 navies. It has recently been favoured over the French 100 mm naval gun
for the joint French/Italian Horizon CNGF frigate project. On 27 September 2006 Iran
announced it has started mass production of a marine artillery gun, named the Fajr-27
, which is a reverse-engineered Oto Melara 76 mm gun.

Variants
- 76/62 Super Rapid - Also called the "Super Rapido" this is the most up to date development of the Italian 76mm naval cannons, with an increased rate of fire of 120 rounds per minute and increased range of 30 km. To achieve the higher rate of fire the Super Rapido requires a specially developed round that can be uploaded and chambered at higher speeds. While the older 76mm Allargato and 76mm Compacto can fire the new special round, it does not increase their rate of fire. Only the Super Rapido can fire at 120 rounds per minute. And that rate is only done in short bursts. The Super Rapido also improved on the serious vibration problems that the older Oto Malera and Otobreda 76mm mounts had that effected accuracy against smaller high speed air targets, for example anti-shipping missiles and guided bombs.
