(NSI News Source Info) April 2, 2009: In February, Mexican Navy confirmed the acquisition of a 12.7 mm HITROLE-N turret and relating logistics. 
Germany has also selected the remote-controlled Hitrole® 12.7mm remote-control turret in the new Naval Tilting (NT) version. OTO Melara will provide a total of 25 12.7mm Hitrole NT systems under the ER 10 million contract: 5 on board each of the 4 frigates (TL = 20) and 5 on land for training purposes. The Hitrole RWS is currently serving with the Italian finance police and the UAE and Mexican navies, among others.
Actually the total number of Oto Melara turrets sold to Mexican Navy has gone up to 13.
The configuration foresees the presence of a sensor suite composed by night and day sensors, laser range finder and ballistic computation for a stand-alone mode of operation that is performed by a man operated command console.
