Article Abstract:
The concept of surface combatant firepower called MONARC (Modular Naval Artillery Concept for Naval Gun Fire), which proposes to increase range and effectiveness of ship-mounted artillery and ammunition was proposed by a consortium consisting of Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft (HDW), Krauss-Maffel Wegmann (KMW) and Rheinmetall W&M.
