The SR mount performs several operations in parallel that in the Compact were performed in sequence.

making the gun more flexible against multiple targets. The Italian Navy considers the SR to be an effective anti-missile weapon and new ships are being built with this weapon in place of the twin "Fast 40" used on earlier ships in that role.

However， with OTO-Melara reporting that about 1， pre-fragmented and new Course Corrected Anti-Missile Shell CCAMS. SAPOM and SAPOMER projectiles use base fuzes.

OTO-Melara is now offering the DAVIDE anti-missile system for both new installations and as a retro-fit kit to existing mountings. This system is designed to allow these guns to act as an inner-defense against sea-skimming or diving supersonic and subsonic missiles. The system will be used in conjunction with the steerable DART anti-missile projectile and provides a continuous data stream to all projectiles in flight.

the weapon was unable to hold a 20-round burst on a 20 x 20 foot (6m x 6m) target at 500 yards (460 m). The "Super Rapid" (SR) is an improved， this weapon has far lower manning requirements and carries a much larger supply of ready-service ammunition。

this similarity is only skin-deep as the SR mounting has been strengthened in order to resist overpressures up to 14 psi (1.0 kg/cm2) vs. a 7 psi (0.5 kg/cm2) rating for the Compact mounting. As an option， Spain and USA. It is manufactured in the United States by United Defense (now part of BAE Systems)，000 m)。
intended to improve the performance of these guns in the antimissile role. OTO-Melara claims that an average of only three of these projectiles are needed per engagement. The proximity fuzes for this munition are said to be effective within 6 feet (2 m) of the water surface and are designed to trigger when within 30 feet (10 m) of the target. A November 2005 OTO-Melara Press Release stated that firing trials with DART had been performed at PISQ (Poligono Interforze Salto di Quirra)，000 m). As of this time (March 2006)， the USN has no plans to use the SR version. Existing ships will continue to use the Compact and newer ships are being fitted with the 57 mm Mark 110. Compared with the USN 5" (12.7 cm) and Italian 127 mm (5") guns， it will be a factory job. The kit includes a Vulcano programmer and possibly a new automatic feeder system that will hold 80 rounds of four or more ammunition types. A fire control system that will interface with the ship's combat management system will also be part of the kit. Additional Pictures 76 mm (3") Mark 75 aboard USS Curts FFG-38 in July 2003.

This is the proposed guided version， FMC/NSD (now part of United Defense) won the competition and the first gun mount produced in the United States was delivered in August 1978. Since 1981 all Mark 75 orders for the USN were competed for by FMC/NSD and OTO-Melara. The Compact was developed from the earlier 76 mm/62 M.M.I. mounting and uses a two-piece water-cooled barrel with a replaceable liner. The gun is fitted with a small-hole muzzle brake and fume extractor. The shield is made of fiberglass. There are reports that the Compact has reliability and accuracy problems. When fired at maximum ROF，500 yards (5， Super Rapid and Strales mountings to use the new Vulcano round are being developed.

OTO-Melara now plans a 76 mm version of their Vulcano Extended Range munition. This will be essentially a scaled-down version of the 127 mm version and plans are for evaluation rounds for flight testing to be available starting in 2013. See additional information in Mount / Turret Data note below. The HE-MOM round is pre-fragmented to enhance the splinter effect. The Compact uses a single main feed drum which holds 70 rounds. This feeds a central screw hoist which holds six rounds. The hoist leads up to a loading station below the left trunnion. Two arms alternate picking up rounds and placing them into a breech loading drum that holds four rounds. The drum feeds rounds onto a loading tray which also receives the spent cartridge.
