BAE Systems to provide radar-controlled deck guns for Coast Guard cutters

U.S. Navy surface warfare experts are ordering two computer- and radar-equipped deck guns for large U.S. Coast Guard offshore cutters under terms of a $16.4 million order. Officials of the Naval Sea Systems Command in Washington are asking the BAE Systems Platforms & Services segment in Minneapolis to build two 57-millimeter MK 110 Mod 0 gun mounts and related hardware. The MK 110 GM consists of a 57-millimeter gun, muzzle velocity radar, power distribution panel, barrel-mounted television camera, and ruggedized laptop computer gun control.
