Lot of technology out there. I served for a couple months with a Hawk battalion. I can't even imagine this.

*Note Title was supposed to be Incoming. Guess I cna't tpye.

 

I think I've seen that weapons system on a number of US warships, looks very similar ? I wouldn't want to be on the other end of that, holy crap.

 

That going to leave a mark!

 

The radar tracks the bullets as well as the target to ensure contact.

 

Israeli defense video looks like GCI. Almost computer game. USN close-in defense is the Phalanx CIWS (Sea-whiz). Best seen in 1080HD.

 

That Navy video seems to prove the Navy can't hit the broad side of a barn. That's one slow boat.
The other video shows an integrated firing system computing and firing the best attack angle for each gun on multiple incoming rockets.

It does seem that after the Navy fired all of those rounds the little boat was still coming!

 

Older versions had challenges picking up targets out of sea clutter. It does a better job (and was in fact designed for missile defense) with incoming airborne targets. Usually misses are incoming on a particular bearing so the projectiles are concentrated along that path even with a "pop up" maneuver many missiles make in the terminal phase.

Aircraft carries sport many of those things all around the flight deck. They look like R2D2 on Viagra.
