	MK 15 Phalanx Close-In Weapons System (CIWS)
		CIWS, without assistance from other shipboard systems, will automatically engage incoming anti-ship missiles and high-speed, low-level aircraft that have penetrated the ship primary defense envelope.
		CIWS has been a mainstay self defense system aboard nearly every class of ship since the late 70’s.
		This CIWS installation includes a conversion kit for each weapon group to facilitate ease and safety of maintenance; the "maintenance enclosure" kit installs the below-deck equipment for a gun mount in a prefabricated enclosure with the mount located above it.

		Its designers (and often its pilots) reply that Swiftstars are not intended to engage in sustained combat; they are expected to scout for the enemy, call in missile strikes if possible, and avoid and evade except as a last resort.
		Like the Lancer, though, the Mace lacks a secondary weapon, and many have been forced to retire when their railgun is damaged by a freak hit.
		Intended for close-quarters and city fighting, it is well equipped with devastating short-range weapons, and its painting laser allows it to call in firepower from friendly mechs even in restricted environments.

		Francois RE:Anti-Torpedo CIWS 1/26/2006 1:09:20 AM Quotation : "The anti-torpedo "hard-kill" weapon based on a light weight torpedo-like effector is nowadays elected as the most viable and credible solution".
		Francois RE:Anti-Torpedo CIWS 1/26/2006 8:28:34 PM fitz :Recall that during the Falkland Islands conflict the Royal Navy, the pre-eminent ASW force in the world at the time, expended something like 250 rather spendy ASW torpedo's and an equal number of depth charges and never even came close to hitting a single submarine.
		Weasel RE:Anti-Torpedo CIWS 1/27/2006 2:14:40 PM You know, Sound and sonar is a wonderful thing, but what people seem to forget is that it is very sensitive, so it follows that it would be easy to knock out (pure speculation upon my part).

	LD-2000 Close-In Weapons System (CIWS) - SinoDefence.com
		The weapon system can be used stand along to provide point air defence for high-value strategic targets against aircraft and cruise missiles, or deployed as a part of a multi-layer air defence system comprising surface-to-air missiles (SAM) and anti-aircraft artillery weapons.
		The prototype of the LD-2000 is mounted on a Chinese locally developed 8X8 truck, but a newer model incorporating the CIWS with surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) is seen mounted on a Wanshan WS-2400 (Chinese copy of the Russian MAZ543 missile TEL) 8X8 heavy-duty wheeled chassis with better cross-country capability.
		While three of these guns are deployed to protect a target, the other three can be relocated to a new location.
