Nexter, a KNDS (KMW+NEXTER Defense Systems) company, has signed a contract with the Albanian Navy to supply remotely operated 20mm NARWHAL® naval turrets. Albania has been a member of NATO since 2009 and will be the fourth country to equip its navy with NARWHAL® turrets, which already provide short-range self-defence to French and Egyptian FREMM frigates, French Mistral class vessels and Lebanese navy patrol boats. It will be also fitted to the French Navy's patrol boats (Guyanese PLG light patrol
craft) and on the HORIZON class frigates.
