Under the agreement, the company will also deliver logistics support for the Danish Navy.
Leonardo will be responsible for basic support supplies, such as spare parts, tools and technical logistics services. It also includes new latest configuration 76/62 SR guns.
The first purchase orders will cover operational guns maintenance, with plans to implement a new digital version for all original consoles.

Separately in April 2016, the DALO entered a new framework agreement with Kongsberg to renew their maritime simulation co-operation.
