Phalanx CIWS: 75 Bullets Per Second, Zero Reaction Time

If a missile gets within a mile of a U.S. warship, there’s no time to think—only to shoot. Enter the Phalanx CIWS, a fully autonomous close-in weapon system that fires 75 tungsten rounds per second to shred threats in midair. But even that isn’t enough against the most dangerous attacker of all: submarines. In this video, we follow how one Swedish sub “sank” an American supercarrier, and what it reveals about the Navy’s layered defenses, from sonar-equipped destroyers to airborne radar networks.
