Zitat:It deserves to be mentioned that a modern system in the described configuration is available on the market in the form of the Kongsberg RS6 RWS with a 30×113 mm XM914E1 Bushmaster cannon ordered for the US Marine Air Defense Integrated System program (MADIS), and as such this configuration could well be the frontrunner.Zitat aus dem Naval News link von 2023.
The heaviest system is an anti-ship or surface-to-surface missile with range in excess of 70 km, able to be used against both ground targets and enemy shipping. The range requirement points toward a dedicated anti-ship missile rather than a converted anti-tank missile such as the AGM-114C HELLFIRE currently in use, as even modern non-line of sight systems struggle with the range. Coupled with the size of the envisioned launch platform, MBDA’s Marte ER is the likely favourite.
While the planned vessels are larger than the CB 90, they are still small to sport this kind of firepower.
