The 12 rounds can be of different types and ammunition's selection can be performed during firing. The ammunition loading system is based on a drum, in oscillating mass, with 12 ready-to-fire rounds. The main armament and the automatic loading system are fully compatible with all in service 76mm rounds and also with 76 mm DART guided ammunition. The main armament consists of a 76mm/62 gun with an automatic ammunition loading system, electrically controlled for elevation and traversing, stabilized in elevation, with high rate offire. The weapon station is installable on 8x8 wheeled platforms, for combat support operations or convoy defence, or on shelterfor point defence.

and Surface targets, with high performance direct or indirect fire. The DRACO is a remotely operated weapon station with multi-purpose role against Air, R.A.M.

Draco uses a new mechanism which saves a lot of weight, plus a more compact onboard radar and FCS. In adapting the firm's 76 mm automatic naval gun to AFVs, this is similar to the much bigger and heavier OTOmatic of the 1980s which needed a tank chassis to take the weight. Weight of the Draco turret was significantly reduced due to improvements in electronics over the last two decades. The previous Otomatic turret was much heavier and needed a tank chassis. The former adopted a medium tracked chassis, which came out in the 1980s while the latter adopted an 8x8 armored wheeled chassis, which is a new generation of 76mm self-propelled artillery, and its overall technical performance has been greatly improved. Based on the 76mm rapid-fire naval gun, the company successively developed two generations of 76mm self-propelled guns, 'OTOMATIC' and 'Draco'. The earliest development of the 76 mm rapid-fire gun was the Italian Otto Melera company. The Draco weapon system primary function is the air defense against rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft firing 76mm DART guided ammunition, but can support other roles such as Counter-Rocket, Artillery, Mortar (C-RAM). The Centauro Draco is a SPAAG prototype to test the Draco weapon system on the Centauro 8x8 platform.
