Description: Phalanx - This is the land based version of the Phalanx (CIWS) gun system built by Raytheon called the Land-Based Phalanx Weapons System or LPWS. It utilizes the Block 1B gun system with self-destruct rounds to destroy incoming mortar and artillery rounds. The Raytheon Phalanx CIWS was originally designed as a shipboard anti-missile defense system for shooting down incoming missiles and aircraft in the early 80s.

Mazryonh ::: Favorites Imagine what CIWS could do if it was a laser instead. Much easier to aim! How about gyrojet rounds for a less high-tech solution? Since the rounds are actually rockets, they might have better range than normal bullets. 07-08-20 16:42:29 _____________________________________________________
EddieHfromBottom ::: Favorites CIWS is a last line od defence. If you are relying on Goalkeeper or Phalanx (and they have similar capability - GK just uses a 30mm GAU8 similar to the weapon on the A10) against 18 incoming vampires, then you are deep in it. 07-08-17 06:52:15 _____________________________________________________
