War happens over land, in the air, and over sea. It is imperative that nations defend every part of their land.
Those with coastal areas, these areas can also be vulnerable to attacks. For these areas, naval weapon systems are essential. What is necessary for these systems is that it needs to have high-level stabilization.
The Essential Naval Weapons
Naval weaponry is an essential part of the navy for any nation. One of the major requirements for naval weapon systems is that it needs high-level stabilization. Naval ships do not only require dome protection but also require high-level protection of their perimeter.
Accurate pointing, shooting, and hitting the target are invaluable for the defense of a naval ship. Thus, RAFAEL provides medium-caliber weapons for this purpose. The TYPHOON Mk-30c is ideal for the reasons mentioned here. These guns provide defense against fast-moving, as well as swarm attacks.
The Application of Naval Weapons
Naval weapon systems are a necessity for all naval forces around the world. It would not be a defense arm of any military if it is not well-equipped. The use of RAFAEL’s Typhoon™ can attest to that.
They have their naval weapon systems in sixteen naval forces around the world. Some of these include the Royal Australian Navy as well as the United States Navy. The weapons are installed on aircraft carriers, patrol boats, and hundreds of different types of naval vessels.
The Types of Weapons
The RAFAEL’s Typhoon™ family includes a number of types of naval weapon systems. The TYPHOON™ Mk-30c was already mentioned as a perimeter defense weapon for ships. Here are a few more examples:
- The 25mm TYPHOON™ is part of many navy ships. Some use it as the main gun or as a secondary gun for their patrol boats.
- The Mini-Typhoon would serve a small patrol boat best and is therefore highly stabilized. It is best used in conditions where the best stabilization is required.
