In the late 1970s, the RN was also aware of the threat from sea skimmers and the GWS-25 Sea Wolf Point Defence Missile System was seen as the answer.

Substantial development and trials were needed before the Mk-15 Phalanx went into full production in 1978 with USS Coral Sea taking the first operational Block 0 mounts to sea in 1980. The first Phalanx prototype was installed on destroyer, USS King, in 1973. In parallel, the US Army pursued a similar idea, producing the tracked vehicle M163 Vulcan Air Defense System (VADS). Using a Gatling gun combined with radar in the close air defence role to create a вЂwall of steelвЂ™ offered a relatively simple solution. The M61 Vulcan Gatling gun had been in service since 1959 and was initially developed for use in air-air combat. Here we look at the history, design and capabilities of this system.Дevelopment of the Vulcan Phalanx began in the 1960s as the US Navy woke up to the threat of the sea-skimmers after the destruction of Israeli destroyer Eilat by Russian-made Styx missiles in 1967. Upgraded over time, it has been in service for 38 years with the Royal Navy.

The ubiquitous Phalanx close-in weapon system (CIWS) provides warships a last line of defence against missiles, aircraft and small boats.
