A land based variant known as C-RAM has recently been deployed in a short range missile defense role, to counter incoming rockets and artillery fire. Because of their distinctive barrel-shaped radome and their automated nature of operation, Phalanx CIWS units are sometimes nicknamed "R2-D2" after the famous droid from Star Wars, and in the Royal Navy as Daleks, after the aliens from Doctor Who. Developed as the last line of automated weapons defense (terminal defense or point defense) against anti-ship missiles (AShMs), including high-g and maneuvering sea-skimmers, the first system was offered to the U.S. Navy for evaluation on USS King (DDG-41) in 1973. It was accepted and production started in 1978, the first ship fully fitted out was USS Coral Sea (CV-43) in 1980. The Navy began placing CIWS systems on non-combatant vessels in 1984. The basis of the system is the 20 mm M61 Vulcan Gatling gun autocannon, used sinc...
