Phalanx Anti-Missile System – Click here for another funny movie.
The LPWS is a land-based version of the Phalanx anti-missile system. The LPWS uses the HEIT-SD (High-Explosive Incendiary Tracer, Self-Destruct) ammunition at a rate of 4500 rpm. These rounds explode on impact with the target, upon tracer burnout or when reaching a pre-determined range to prevent live rounds falling on “friendlies”.
