A close-in weapon system (CIWS), often pronounced "''sea-whiz''," is a point-defense weapon for detecting and destroying short-range incoming missiles and enemy aircraft which have penetrated the outer defenses, typically mounted shipboard in a naval capacity. Nearly all classes of modern warships are equipped with some kind of CIWS device. There are two types of CIWS systems. A gun-based CIWS usually consists of a combination of radars, computers, and multiple-barrel, rotary rapid-fire cannons placed on a rotating gun mount. Missile systems use infra-red, passive radar/ESM or semi-active radar terminal guidance to guide missiles to the targeted enemy aircraft or other threats. In some cases, CIWS are used on land to protect military bases. ==Gun systems== A gun-based CIWS usually consists of a combination of radars, computers, and multiple-barrel, rotary rapid-fire cannons placed on a rotating, automatically-aimed gun mount. Examples of gun-based CIWS products in operation are: * AK-630 * DARDO * Denel 35mm Dual Purpose Gun * Goalkeeper CIWS * Kashtan CIWS * Meroka CIWS * Myriad CIWS * Oerlikon Millennium 35 mm Naval Revolver Gun System〔http://www.rheinmetall-defence.com/index.php?lang=3&fid=2177〕〔http://www.rheinmetall-detec.de/index.php?fid=1570&lang=3&pdb=1〕 * Phalanx CIWS * Sea Zenith * Type 730 CIWS 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Close-in weapon system」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
