For those who do not know

Vulcano is a family of high-precision projectiles developed by the Italian company OTO Melara. They are produced in two versions. The basic one is called Vulcano BER (Ballistic Extended Range). These projectiles do not have a guidance module. They are capable of hitting targets at a distance of 50 km when fired from cannons with 52 caliber barrels.

The top version is called the Vulcano GLR. It features an INS/GPS targeting system with a semi-active laser guidance system. It is triggered at the last stage of flight. The Vulcano GLR projectiles can be used with Caesar, Krab or PzH 2000 self-propelled artillery units. Thanks to Vulcano GLR their range increases up to 70-80 km.
