Phalanx CIWS Close-In Weapon System

Phalanx CIWS Close-In Weapon System – 176 Piece Set

Last line of defense. Autonomous protection.

The Phalanx Close-In Weapon System represents the U.S. Navy's last line of defense against anti-ship missiles, providing autonomous protection through a radar-directed 20mm Gatling gun capable of firing 4,500 rounds per minute. Introduced in 1980 as a response to the growing threat of supersonic anti-ship missiles, Phalanx creates a wall of tungsten projectiles to destroy incoming threats in the final seconds before impact. Its distinctive white dome housing and autonomous operation make it recognizable on virtually every U.S. Navy combatant. Modern upgrades enable Phalanx to engage surface threats and incoming aircraft, proving the system's adaptability beyond its original anti-missile mission.

This 1:32 scale build captures the iconic profile of naval point defense. From the distinctive radar dome and six-barrel M61 Vulcan cannon to the ammunition feed system and mounting platform, every detail reflects the automated precision of shipboard defense.
