Welcome back to the military update channel, and in today’s video, we’ve compiled a
list of the most powerful naval air defense systems in the world.
To safeguard the naval surface fleet, specialist naval air defense systems that combine autonomous
sensor technology with armament to detect and destroy aerial threats are required.
What are the finest development systems?
Before watching this video, don’t forget to leave a comment below if you have any suggestions
or specific subjects to address for the future video.
Naval air defense systems protect ships against missiles fired by hostile aircraft and surface
vessels.
The current generation of naval air defense systems are fully integrated with a ship’s
electronic warfare defensive system, and some have autonomous targeting and firing capabilities.
Let’s find out the top naval air defense systems.
1.
Rosoboronexport’s Pantsir-ME
With its huge thorax-like body and two six-barrel GSH-623 autocannons for arms and eight missile
launchers on its shoulders capable of shooting Hermes k and 57e6 missiles, the Russian-developed
panzer m marketed under the title Pantsir-ME exemplifies the autonomous naval air defense
system.
The panzer appears to be a full-fledged defensive weapon system.
The Pantsir-ME can intercept sea-skimming missiles that may dodge standard radar systems
thanks to its suite of phased array radars, electro-optical and infrared targeting, and
identification technologies.
The Pantsir-capacity ME’s to fire at a rate of 10 thousand rounds PM from its autocannons
at a range of up to 20 kilometers makes it useful against opposing surface craft and
aircraft.
It also has a reaction time of 3 to 5 seconds.
Rosoboronexport recently displayed the most recent generation panzer me at the International
Defense Exhibition Index 2019 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
2.
General Dynamics’ Phalanx
The Phalanx close-in weapon system sea whiz designed by general dynamics is a comprehensive
automated defense system that can defend navy ships against a variety of anti-ship threats.
It is presently in service with 20 country navies, including the United States Navy and
the Royal Navy.
Anti-ship missiles and planes, as well as small high-speed surface vessels, helicopters,
and surface mines, are all available.
Thanks to its m61a1 Vulcan Gatling gun, which can fire at a rate of 4500 rounds per minute
in conjunction with the Ku band radar and forward-looking infrared radar fleer imaging
system, the phalanx is the only deployed sea whiz capable of autonomous search detection
evaluation tracking engagement and kill assessment functions.
The phalanx can detect, track, engage, and fire on an enemy threat, whether it is an
anti-ship missile ASM fired from a surface vessel or a fast fighter jet.
The phalanx has a muzzle velocity of 1,100 meters per second and a typical firing range
of around 3.5 kilometers.

KBP’s Kashtan M
The cortex sea whiz export designation of the Russian Navy Cashtan is intended to protect
ships from anti-ship missiles, anti-radar missiles, and aerial threats from aircraft,
but it may also fight smaller vessels and ground targets.
The updated cash tan m model has two 30 millimeter six-barrel GSH 6-30 k rapid-fire cannons that
can intercept approaching air targets with missiles at a distance of up to 10 kilometers
and engage in closer engagement with gunfire at a distance of up to four kilometers.
According to a Rosoborn export fact sheet, the KBP’s Kashtan M’s integration control
system tracks targets and leads missiles through its 9m311 311-1e missile system, which has
eight missiles and the capacity to keep 24 missiles in total to perform in harsh weather
circumstances.

KBP’s Kashtan M is outfitted with a thermal imaging system Kashtan M system to assure
the carrier ship’s efficient self-defense.
because of the high likelihood of intercepting arriving air targets at extended ranges of
10 000 meters to 1500 meters with missiles and a follow-up engagement of survived targets
at a close range of 4 000 meters to 500 meters with gunfire The system’s fully automated
combat operation from target acquisition to engagement allows it to engage up to five
targets per minute.
Kashtan M can be put on ships weighing more than 400 tons.
4.
Thales Nederland’s Goalkeeper
Thales Netherland’s goalie sea whiz, formerly signal, is an autonomous sea whiz with short-range
ASM defensive capabilities.
It is especially useful against highly agile missiles, fighter planes, and swift attack
surface vehicles.
The goalkeeper’s two radar systems, the i-band search antenna, and the i-band and
k-band track radar, work in combination to prevent an opponent’s danger from being
detected to being destroyed.
The goalie employs a 30 millimeter seven-barrel gau-8a Gatling gun with missile piercing discarding
sabo ammo fired at a rate of 4 200 rounds per minute, providing adequate force to destroy
missile warheads.
The goalkeeper Sea Wiz officially passed sea acceptance trials with the Royal Netherlands
Navy in March of last year.
Its capabilities have been demonstrated numerous times during seagoing trials u.s trials in
which three types of live missiles were destroyed by goalkeeper conclusively confirmed the capabilities
of this proven close-in weapon system.
The goalie is the CIWS’s grandfather, and it’s been phased out on the new ships.
The Dutch are developing a new AI-based system.
This AI will manage the ship’s weaponry and electronic warfare system aboard the future
Dutch, Belgian, and German ships.
5.
Raytheon RIM-116
Raytheon and Germany’s dial defense partnered to develop the rim 116 rolling airframe missile
ram, which Raytheon described as a supersonic lightweight rapid reaction fire and forget
weapon.
Fire-and-forget missiles don’t need extra guidance after launch and can attack targets
that aren’t always in the launcher’s line of sight.
The MK-31 guided missile weapon system is used by the rim 116 Ram.
It consists of an MK-49 guided missile system that can contain 21 missiles and an MK-44
guided missile round pack.
It is backed up by an m601a1 Gatling gun.
One of the primary benefits is its adaptability, since it may be integrated into a variety
of current ship sensor suites.
It is now used on over 165 ships from 11 countries, including rapid attack vessels and aircraft
carriers.
Raytheon’s ram guiding technology is combined with the phalanx sea whiz, which substitutes
the m601a1 Gatling gun in this model.
6.
MBDA’s Sea Ceptor
The Sea Ceptor is a part of MBDA’s common anti-air module missile cam, which comprises
land and air variant.
The naval variant contains the most advanced electronic warfare and weapon system technology
to provide defense against all known air threats.
The Sea Ceptor will protect both the host ship and high-value units in the surrounding
area.
The weapon system is capable of intercepting and neutralizing a wide range of current and
future threats, including combat aircraft and a new generation of supersonic anti-ship
missiles capable of multi-channel fire.
The system will also counter saturation attacks.
Sea Ceptor missiles are 3.2 meters long and weigh just under 100 kilograms.
They provide 360-degree coverage and have a range of more than 25 kilometers at speeds
of up to Mach 3, 3704 km/h.
The UK Ministry of Defense has been developing the Sea Ceptor to work on the Royal Navy’s
type 23 and type 26 frigates as the primary air defense capability.
The Sea Ceptor formally entered service with the Royal Navy in May 2018.

C-Dome
Israel has successfully tested the sea dome a new naval air defense system the system
can intercept a series of threats the defense system is Israel’s key protection against
Iran and its proxies in the region in a series of tweets the official Twitter handle of Israel
defense forces confirmed the news on Monday the IDF shared that the sea dome is an advanced
naval configuration of the iron dome aerial defense system interestingly, The sea dome
is being placed aboard Israel’s current generation corvette warships.
It is the Special iron dome that has been used to take down Highly Advanced rockets
fired from the Gaza Strip.
These warships guard Israel’s Mediterranean coastline and natural gas assets.
and that is why Monday’s test simulated a number of incoming threats these included
rockets cruise missiles and drones what’s noteworthy are the timing of the test last
week a pair of drones were launched into the Israeli airspace by the Iranian-backed Hezbollah
militant group.
