Euronaval 2026: MSI-Defence Systems details new DS30M gun orders

MSI-Defence Systems has secured a £29.7 million contract to supply 12 DS30M 30mm naval gun systems for four German Navy F128 frigates. Parent company MS International announced the award on October 21, identifying TKMS as prime contractor for the shipbuilding programme and scheduling equipment deliveries over the coming years. The remotely operated gun mounts provide close-range shipboard defence and form part of the vessels' defensive equipment, rather than constituting their complete combat systems. The confirmed award adds a defined export production requirement to MSI's naval-weapons business, while deliveries remain linked to the frigate programme's construction schedule.
