Sang-Cheol Han, sales manager of the defense division of WIA, explained to us that while some of the components of the gun are the same as on the Oto Melara naval guns (such as the barrel), most other subsystems are self designed and built such as the reloading system and control station, the hydraulics etc.

The carbon composite cupola of the gun has been improved: We were told that thanks to the new design, the WIA 76mm gun has radar cross section (RCS) about 80% smaller compared to the 76mm Compact by Oto Melara. We were also told that this gun has an improved rate of fire compared to its Italian counterpart (100 rounds per minutes).
