So, how is the CIWS
So, how is the CIWS working anyway?
The CIWS has an effective range which is relatively short compared to the range of modern anti-ship missiles (ASMs), from 1 to 5 nautical miles. However, the gun mount moves at incredibly high speed and with great precision. The CIWS only needs minimal resource from the ship, which makes it capable of functioning even when there is an event of potential damage to the ship. On the other hand, the CIWS also complemented with two antennas working together to engage targets. The search subsystem feeds the CIWS computer with information on possible targets' bearing, range, velocity, direction, and altitude. This data is evaluated to decide whether the CIWS system should engage the detected object.
However, the CIWS system does not recognize identification friend of foe (IFF), because it only has the data it has collected in real time from the radars to decide if the locked target is a threat and to engage it. To be considered as a target, the CIWS has its own criteria, first, it oversees whether the target is approaching the ship, second, whether the contact has the capacity of maneuvering to hit the ship, and third, whether the contact is traveling between the minimum and maximum velocity. For the last part, the operator can regulate the range of minimum and maximum limits of the system.
