Worlds-Top-5-Naval-Close-in-Weapon-System-CIWS-2020

 From automated cannons that literally shred their target to pieces to extremely agile missile systems gun-based close-in weapon systems are vessels the last line of defense against anything hostile above the water line is Danger close. the close-in weapon system is a point-defense weapon system for detecting and destroying short-range incoming missiles and enemy aircraft which have penetrated the outer defenses the latest generation of naval air defense systems are fully integrated with a ship's electronic warfare defense system and some have autonomous targeting and firing capabilities but in the meantime let's count down the 5 deadliest gun base Close-in weapon systems.

NO -5 -Type 730

Type- 730 ,China's newly unveiled type 1130 close in weapons system can make short work of inbound warheads traveling at four times the speed of sound it reportedly does so by spewing 11,000 rounds per minute or 166 rounds per second perforating any unbound threat well before it can do any damage to any PL vessel that the 1,130 has been installed on according to reliable source the type 1130 carries a pair of 1280 round magazines enough to shoot down as many as 40 threats before requiring or reload it's also reportedly quite accurate notching 90% accuracy against hypersonic threats it can also target fixed wing and rotary aircraft surface ships terrestrial targets along a coast and even sea mines with its 30 millimetres rounds this 11 barreled weapon system should be able to target threats anywhere from 8 to 20 kilometers out due to the limited range of the Gatling gun it employees however the system should naturally be able to engage until the threat is right on top of it around 4 kilometers the system is guided by radar which are what those two dishes are located above the barrel but due to its weight and power requirements is limited to large ships.

NO-4-GoalKeeper

Goalkeeper is a Dutch 30 millimeters close-in weapon system introduced in 1979 it is an autonomous and completely automatic weapon system for short-range defensive ships against highly maneuverable missiles aircraft and fast maneuvering surface vessels once activated the system automatically undertakes the entire air defense process from surveillance and detection to destruction including selection of the next priority target the goalkeeper is intended to be the last line of defense against projectiles that have successfully evaded other defenses it is currently used by the naval forces of Belgium Chile the Netherlands Portugal Qatar South Korea the UAE and the UK this formidable system has also proven its effectiveness in practice the United States tested the weapon by firing three separate missiles in the system's range all were intercepted an eye band radar is utilized to ensure all-weather detection capability and pinpoint target tracking is accomplished with a dual-frequency on KA band tracking radar.

NO-3-Khastan

Kashtan the most typically deployed as a combined gun and missile system it provides defense against anti-ship missiles anti-radar missiles and guided bombs the system can also be employed against fixed or rotary-wing aircraft or even surface vessels such as fast attack boats or targets on shore one of the most lethal weapons in their Navy's arsenal is the Kashtan sea West combat module the KashtanM C wins Russian system is a modern air defense system used by the Russian Navy Russia's aircraft carrier the Admiral Kuznetsov and their Kirov class battlecruisers are all armed with Kashtan C wits weapons systems these advanced combat modules are able to fire off over 10,000 rounds per minute as approaching targets the cache datums integrated control system tracks targets and guides missiles through its 9 m3 11 1e missile system of which it has a plus the capacity to hold a total of 24 missiles

NO-2-Phalanx

Phalanx close-in weapons system is a fast reaction rapid-fire 20 millimeter gun system currently in use with 20 national navies including the US Navy and Royal Navy the failings close-in weapons system developed by General Dynamics is a comprehensive automated defense system that can protect against anti-ship missiles aircraft and hard to detect high G and C skimming missiles using its m61a1 Vulcan Gatling gun that can fire at a rate of 4,500 rounds per minute in tandem with the Ku band radar and forward-looking infrared radar imaging system the Phalanx can automatically detect track engage in fire on an enemy threat be it an anti-ship missile fired from a surface vessel or high speed fighter jet the fire control assembly is composed of a search radar for surveillance and detection of hostile targets and a track radar for aiming the gun while tracking a target the unique closed-loop fire control system that tracks both the incoming target and the stream of outgoing projectiles by monitoring their incoming noise signature gives it the capability to correct it seemed to hit fast-moving targets including anti-ship missiles 

NO-1-Pantsir-me

Pantsir-me is a sophisticated system of countering practically all the possible aerial kill assets and can be installed on most Russian warships and is very well fit for ships manufactured by other countries with its large thorax like body complete with two six-barrel GSH 6:23 autocannons for arms and eight missile launchers on its shoulders that are capable of firing Hermes K and fifty seventy six missiles it looks like a comprehensive defensive weapons system its suite of phased array radars electro-optical and infrared targeting and identification system allow the Pantsir to intercept sea-skimming missiles that can avoid traditional radar systems tensor Muse ability to fire at a rate of 10,000 rounds per minute from its autocannons and up to a distance of 20 kilometers makes it effective against enemy surface craft and aircraft it also has a reaction speed of three to five seconds and includes multimode adaptive radio optical control system which is designed to automate the system from target acquisition to firing and assists the system's ability to be effective in all weather or light conditions
